Welcome to

Turn up the volume and listen to "Semi True Story" by Jimmy B.  That song goes along with this week's Duffer News.  Two games, followed by all of that beer, vodka, rum and food, must have killed some brain cells.  I remembered a few things and my usual reliable Cyber Reporters had conflicting reports (They imbibed the same things that I did), so don't get angry if We failed to report one of your goals, just sing along with Jimmy as he sings "It's a semi true story, I made up a few things and there's some I forgot." I got the Meaningful goals right, but 30 goals in 2 days is asking too much.

Thanksgiving 2007 Whites 4, Reds 1

Very little of this game is left in my brain, but thanks to e-mail, here is what I think happened:  The Whites won the Meaningful game 4-1. Brinks had 2 and Thor had 2 for the Whites.  Beer Nuts had the only Red goal.  Final Score 8-6 Art says he had 3 but Perry said Kevin had 3.  I don't know. Mini Wheezer, Bill By The Way, Roger, Kramer's bookie had 1 each and Tommy Z had the other 2.  I do remember getting a skate assist when Klinger fired one around the boards and it hit my skate blade and went right to TZ's tape and he fired one past the Brain. 
Friday:  Whites 2, Reds 2
Brinks had 2 Meaningful White goals while Geno and Harvey had the Red Meaningful goals.  BBTW's Friend, Mike, played a fine game in the nets to give the get an 8-8 tie.  White goals; Art said he had 0 on Friday, so Kevin may have had 6.  Mini Wheezer scored again, Super Dave,  BBTW, Scott, Roger and Tommy Z had 2.
Perfect Attendance  drops to 6: Stump, Knarf, Beak, Hacksaw, Kramer's Bookie, and Basketball Jones.

Thor asked Klinger, "How many times did you fall down?"
