The drowning of the North Manitoba Clubbers hockey team sent shockwaves through the quiet community of Mudslinger Flats. The new home of the local hockey club, the Tidewaters.
The newest of the expanding Nationalist Hockeyclub Hockeyplayer Amalgomation and BocceBall Union may be suffering from the strain of growth in their southern expansion league division. And lack of organization, which did nothing to console the now wet and frostbitten fans that were forced to recover most of the bodies.
The visiting team had gone into their warming hut when what sounded like an internal argument and fight ensued. Not knowing the strangers to their community and not wanting to be accused of eves dropping on a team meeting that might involve strategies, the locals and officials respectfully left the clubbers to their privacy. They had quieted down and ultimately were fifteen minutes late for the second period when we made the discovery."
"Around here you don't interrupt what may be a team prayer" said the official Merl Tukkas. It's just direspectful. And we don't claim to know all of the customs and rituals of the game at this point. It's usually played a little farther north than here so we figured we'd just kind of observe and pick it up as we went along."
"So far so good. That's a win, right?"
My name's Jaques St. Martin of the Toulose "Teeths" Montague. It's French Canadian and if you laugh again, I'll slap the English out of ya. Listen up, do you realize the equipment that was lost with the boys? There was almost 49 cents (Canadian) of steel on the blades of those skates! that's 75% of our annual budget. Collectively there are 13 teeth not accounted for too. Must we re-live the nightmare of the drowning with the mockery by this limp wristed Aliouwishus whatever? You sir are a scamp and scoundrel, eh?
ReplyDeleteThe status of my wrist are a direct result of a horse studding accident. I was protecting my nether regions and the nether regions of all those involved on that fateful day. I've learned to live with my lose and I do believe that is more than you are expected too. Some of the benefits that have come to pass as a direct result from my dissability include no less than the knukle ball, the advent of the gang symbol, and to accidental symphonies in G.
ReplyDeleteAlloisious,
ReplyDeleteSince you insist on using a tin can and string for your communication needs and a barge on the Mississippi has severed my line I cordially invite you to get in your Model T and make your way to my abode for some ales on Friday Night. Please I'm itching for company and pleasant conversation in a manner only you can provide. Bring that marvelous twinkler of strings Mike and let's make some foul noise together.
