I'm probably not going to see any of you on New Years Eve so HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Be careful who you end up with

see you guys later....

New Years!!!

What is everybody doing? I will be going to my buddies lake house in Michigan City, IN. His house is fucking huge with a pool table, bar downstairs, etc.... We can fit everybody if you guys want to go. Wyz and I went last year and had a blast. Late

Football???

I think we may cancel this weekend unless we have some interest in playing. Granted it has only been 2 weeks since the last game, it feels like forever and a day ago. Please let me know if you would like to play. Post or call me. Thank you and have a spectacular day. Keep on Truckin'

Lets Go Hawks!!!!

Just a little reminder that a few of us will be attending the Hawks game this Friday night the 29th. Game starts at 7:30. We are going to buy tickets at the gate. Let me know if you want to attend!!! Late

GoodBye

Scandle rocked Hanover Park last Saturday when local business owner Tony Durante said goodbye to his resturant Frankly Yours. Durante sold the business last Saturday to some other guy. Popular for it's low prices and frendly atmosphere, Frankly Yours was a popular hangout for local familys. Robert Engleman said, "This is my last meal at Franklys" on Friday, as he will no longer go there. The resturant was noticeable empty on Friday without table number 7 filled up, mostly because they do not have beer there anymore, due to a change in liquor license. "Things won't ever be the same here. I feel like a lost puppy with nowhere to go", said Andrew J. Driscol. This reporter is shocked.

We need a party then...

If drinking is going to keep everyone alive and happy, then I say we have a party. I think it's due time that we commence with the long awaited Hollowgiving Party (maybe renamed to Hallowchanukivingmas... where we dress up in costume, eat turkey, light the menora, sing carols, and most importantly drink the beer...) . Who's in? and more importantly when (must be a weekend when Klokowski no workski)? The where...well that would be Pekin, because that is where I live... Let's get it figured out...soon.

Love,
Woody

Driscoll Must Drink....

I don't know why it has take me so long to post this, but about a month ago there was a nasty rumor that Driscoll was giving up alcohol, the nectar of the Gods.

I took it upon myself to convince him otherwise, and obviously it worked. It is a long letter, but I think it's worth it.

Dear Andy,

Think of the human cost of your choice here: If you stop drinking, Old Style consumption in the United States will take a noticeable hit, causing numerous people to lose their jobs....

Also, without your constant loyalty to Old Style some of us may choose to switch brands; hell some of us might even quit beer altogether vowing only to drink only the hard stuff...

By quitting the booze you will likely loose weight, quit smoking, look younger, and just feel better all around - but you know your bowling would suffer. Your team will be counting on you to produce, but you won't be able to do so, which will send your team spiraling into the league cellar...

Meanwhile, those people that lost their jobs at Old Style will be forced into severe poverty. Take Michael Johansson for instance. His father brewed Old Style, his father's father brewed Old Style, his father's father's father brewed Old Style. What is he supposed to do know? He is a failure now; to everyone. Failure makes Michael angry, not just at himself, but at the world....

The Manti have now turned to the hard booze, no more beer for us. The only problem is, we are not used to drinking it so often. Vomiting ensues, drinking tickets, unnecessary vandalism, taking inappropriate sex partners; I expose myself at a family party; Jerry pees in Kim's parents' kitchen sink during family dinner; Bobby tries to shoot a bottle rocket out of his ass, but he is too drunk to know it is facing the wrong way.....

The bowling team continues to fall into a state of disrepair. With the championship out of reach, the bickering starts, and hidden problems begin to rise to the top. After falling into last place, the team has lost their fire, their will to compete at bowling anymore is gone. Your team quits to try to find new places to compete....

Eventually Michael's anger cannot be contained. Work was his life, and now it is over. He is suddenly violent. Luckily he does not have a family to take it out on, but he does have kittens and puppies, and cute little rabbits. He hates those animals now, and he shows them his hatred by throwing them off a cliff one by one. Eventually he runs out, and as he stands there looking deep in to the canyon, he has an idea.....

None of the Manti are safe. Sure we can drink beer every day for months, but hard alcohol is another story. Jerry is so drunk all of the time that he is not exactly choosy about who he brings home each night. After a few months, half of the county is pregnant. Varveris drinks so often that he never has room for food, and he begins to shrink. His weight loss is dramatic for sure, but not attractive. Six months after you quit drinking he weighs 74 pounds, its gross. Klokowski is by far the worst off after the switch to hard booze. He too drinks far to much and begins to manufacture meth in a trailer in the middle of Iowa to support his drinking habit. He doesn't use the stuff but he is drunk and unreliable and makes enemies with the wrong people.

After losing the will to bowl, Fonzi becomes a professional eater specializing in hotdogs. He is actually doing okay for himself. Sure he drinks himself into a stupor every night, but he thinks that is part of his training. Norm moves to Vegas to become a professional poker player, and despite his advanced alcoholism, he is doing okay on the tables. As a matter of fact, he has made it to the final table in the World Series of Poker. A Cinderella story to be sure. And Garrett, becomes a gymnastics coach for the Russian National team. The women's team of course. He fits right in there, after all what Russian coach isn't constantly shitfaced. Perhaps the collapse of the bowling team was best for all involved....

Michael closes the back of the semi trailer and hops into the cab, patting the driver on his Old Style cap. Michael starts up the rig, after all, the driver is tied up in the passenger seat, he can't do it. Imagine the luck; as Michael leaves the cliff's edge earlier in the day, he sees an old style delivery truck on its way back to the brewery and takes the opportunity to steal the truck by knocking the driver unconscious. Michael spent hours filling that trailer with anything he could find: fertilizer, gasoline, propane tanks, you name it. It was finally time he thought, as he drove towards the brewery; HIS brewery. It was his, wasn't it? And they fired him. Now no one would work there, no one would ever enjoy an Old Style ever again. And as he made the final turn towards the enormous tanks the made up up the brewery and sped towards them, he couldn't help himself. He just had to yell, "And that's what I know about Old Style!!!"

In an effort to rekindle the friendship that made everyone so awesome in the first place, a trip to a dodge ball tournament is organized for all of the Manti that are left. Garrett, Norm, and Fonzi are all out living life on their own, being successful, and you are off giving speeches about the dangers of alcohol. The rest of us are there though, we even rent a bus. We need a bus because the tournament is in Colorado. The trip there is a great success, the booze flows like water, and nothing too terrible happens in the bus. A little vomit - actually a lot of vomit, but at least there were no fights. That's when a news break kicks in on the radio while Klokowski is driving. It is about the huge explosion that destroyed the Old Style Brewery leaving not a single drop behind, not to mention the secret recipe. All he can do is stare at the radio in disbelief, which is not a good idea when driving down a mountain road in Colorado. As the bus lurches off of the edge of the mountain a single tear drops from Klokowski's eye. Some will say he was sad because of his impending doom, but he was really sad for the loss of Old Style, and his friend Andy Driscoll. The bus will not be found for a long time, and body identification would take even longer. No one will be sure of the death of the Manti for months.

Fonzi is now the premier hotdog eater in the Midwest. He is so good that a pay per view event is scheduled for a showdown with Kobayashi. He is on his game, thousands of people watch as he goes dog for dog with the master. But as he attempts to swallow his sixty-second hotdog, his stomach explodes, killing him instantly. The horror is played out on HBO for $39.95, but doctors said that the tragedy could have been avoided. Years of drinking Old Style conditioned his stomach into a impenetrable rock, he could eat anything. His switch to Vodka as he became a professional eater was his eventual downfall. The change in the pH levels was too drastic for his finely tuned stomach - they say he could have been the greatest if he stuck with Old Style. Russia is rocked by scandal just before the Olympics when it is found that every single Olympic gymnast has been impregnated. At first no one knows how this could possibly happen, but an inquiry is performed and the story paints a vivid picture. All of the girls would not give a name, but they all described the same person, a boozy Cassanova that smelled like Vodka and had to drink Gatorade when he was dizzy. The authorities immediately know of whom they speak. The American coach brought in not 3 months ago to train for the Olympics was the culprit. Justice is a strange thing in Russia. Sometime you get a trial, sometimes you get shot without question, sometimes you are drown in a vat of Old Style. I think you know what happens to Garrett...

Norm - the last of the Manti - has made it to the final table in the World Series of Poker. He has been drinking Jaeger and Red Bull talls for days, but he has made it. He makes it to the final two. It is a year of destiny for him, his Cardinals won this year and he is about to win the World Series of poker. He calmly orders another drink. He is calm because he knows he has won. He has a the Jack and King of Hearts. The Flop gives him an eight, nine, and ten of hearts. A flush - he milks the guy for all he's worth. The fourth card is a four of diamonds, he slow plays it again, sipping on his deer blood cocktail. The final card come out, an eight of clubs. It is his bet, and he bets it all. No way the other guy can win this hand, it is his day. Any other day he might be more cautious, but not today, he knows he has won. The guy calls his bet. Norm can't believe his luck, he smiles, flips his cards and raises his arms in triumph. His opponent will still be alive if he calls and loses but that will be mop up work for Norm at that point. The other guy smirks and flips his cards. Eight, Four, off-suit. As you watch the instant replay you can actually see the point when norm loses it, his eye twitches just a bit, but you can see it. Then you see him dive on the table scooping up as much money as he can, screaming about how it is his day and who the hell stays in on an eight, four off-suit. He is crazed, throwing people off of him as he scrambles towards the exit with the money he has stolen. He even makes it out the front door, but that is wear it ends. Three security cards are waiting for him outside where he is gunned down. Ironically enough, they all have Cubs hats on.

So you see Andy, every decision you make can have some very serious consequences. If you were to quit drinking, the Old Style brewery will explode killing countless people, all of your friends will die, and you will suck at bowling, and those are only the most likely consequences. I am sure that much worse things could happen, they are just not as obvious as the ones above. Please rethink your decision Andy. Join us at Frankly's. I am to good looking and much to young to die...

Your Friend,

New Year's Eve

Just a thought, nothing concrete. From what I have gathered, nobody wants any kind of house party and nobody wants to go downtown and spend 100 or more dollars on some bar(certainly no Bamboo Room). I was thinking maybe we should hit up downtown St.Charles. There are alot of bars and I'm assuming it will be pretty crazy! I talked to McNally's and they said they aren't charging cover, plus they have a band. I can't imagine any of the other bars charging cover either, if so, it might be like 5/10 bucks. Just an idea. Please start formulating some ideas because we have quite the large group. The only other alternative is renting a place out, hotel, banquet hall, room at a bar, etc... Salgado mentioned renting out a cabin in Wisconsin or something. Another good idea. It is Decemeber 19th, we need to get our asses in gear very soon if we want to do anything!!!! Keep on Truckin'

A Festivus for the Rest of Us

It has come to the greatest part of the holiday spirit. and traditions, FESTIVUS. I know people will have to think really hard on the ideas of Festivus, but we are in dire need of the key item. The pole is going to be needed. Whom ever has one in their house will have to bring it so the festivities can go on as planned. When the pole is in place, the annual grievences can take place. Also there better be some feats of strength because Klokowski needs to redeem himself after last years poor performance in the smoking/sprint against Bobby.

Football on the Horizon

Ok everybody and WYZ!!!! Football is tentatively set for DECEMBER 30, 2006, this is a Saturday. We will play at Noon O'Clock. I'm not sure if anything is going on that day, but as of right now it looks safe. It will be the Christmas/New Years Bowl. Good stuff. Keep on Truckin'

AAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

A Good Cause

I know not many of you have met my friends outside of Krista and Michelle, but if any of you are interested in contributing or coming to a benefit dinner on behalf of one of my very close friends who is in need, I would greatly appreciate it. My friend, Al Visco (on the right-not the terrorist), had a kidney transplant when we were in Junior High/High School after both his kidneys failed. Up until recently he was very healthy and married and started a family with another one of my close friends. I was sad to hear at our annual Halloween party that the kidney that was given to him by his father failed and that he was back on dialysis and unable to work. Due to his condition he has never been able to get insurance. His family and friends have decided to hold a benefit dinner to help him with all the bills, etc as he has been unable to work. It will be on Saturday the 16th at 7:00pm at the Winfield House. It is too late to take part in the dinner because the restaurant needed the final head count by this morning, but if you came by later the cover would be about $20-25 which would be given to him. If you have other plans and would still like to contribute please let me know how much you’d be willing to donate. Thanks!

Chilly Bowl - December 23rd

Also, I am trying to go to Penny Road Pub Sat. the 9th to see my buddies metal cover band if anyone wants to go.
WYZ

Piss off!!!

Here's what i say about your pictures Davey Boy!!!!

I Need Your Pictures.....

Listen up....

I need your pictures! I know you have them, so hand them over. I want to get the site updated, but I haven't been taking pictures like I used to.

I know that Mroz and Bobby should have some for me. Anybody else?








Just look at what happens to me when I don't get your pictures.....

Decisions, Decisions....

Okay boys, I need some help.

The Chilly Bowl date is apparently up in the air. If it is on the day after Christmas, three Uncles will be missing. An alternate date of December 23 has also been suggested.

So make a choice and let me know - December 23 or December 26?

I got this in the mail last week

Kramer vs. Negro

I don't know who's seen this or not, but if you want to see Michael Richards ( Cosmo Kramer) yell racial stuff at a crowd of blackies then check this out. http://www.tmz.com/2006/11/20/kramers-racist-tirade-caught-on-tape/ . As for football count me in. Who's up for some drinking this weekend, I don't know about you guys but getting sloppy drunk sounds awfully good.

Football Reminder

That is all. FOOTBALL is on Sunday, December 10th at Noon O'Clock. Be there or be gay. I don't make the rules, that is just how it works. Where the hell is everybody? Nobody has anything exciting to post?
That's right, GO BEARS!!! See you all on Sunday or possibly earlier. Keep on Truckin'

National Mustache Month

As the month of November ends, December brings new life into everyone because it is now known as National Mustache Month according to me. What this means is that every man or woman who can grow a mustache should flaunt it in the cold month of December. I have mine and I am wondering who will join me in this celebration of the mustach.

Rough Weekend Huh?

I'm assuming everybody had a good holiday break, lots of drinking and eating! Thought I'd throw a post in because there hasn't been one in awhile. I also wanted to put in for FOOTBALL Dec. 10. Gametime--Noon O'Clock. The Bears are playing Monday night, so we have a free Sunday!! Let me know. Keep on Truckin'

Fuck you cancer

All,

With a heavy heart, I wanted to let you all know that my my succumbed to her cancer early this morning. She put up one hell of a fight, more than any of us thought possible, and more than any of us ourselves could have handled. She was an amazing woman right to the end. She died in the company of our entire family, at home, and in the arms of her beloved husband Bill, the way that she wanted and requested to go.

We are still working out the details for the services, but I believe it will be a Tuesday / Wednesday celebration. I'll Let you know more as details become available. Thank you all for your thoughts and support. I know for certain that my mom can rest easy knowing that I have such a great group of friends to help me through this.

Preying Manti Sports

Despite Win, Coaching Turmoil Clouds Bears' Future

By Larry Horse

Mon Nov 13, 2:29 AM CT

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The SEARCH
Chicago Bears sounded out a warning to the rest of the NFC with a 38-20 mauling of the New York Giants on Sunday. However, the NFC are not the only ones that were warned on Sunday evening.

Assistant Coach Jeff Goldstein (pictured left) was formally admonished after the game by head Coach Lovie Smith. Goldstein did not join fellow assistants Mike Eagan and Dave Roeing at the pre-determined offsite location and this did not site well with Coach Smith who's comments left little room for ambiguity after the game.

"We are a good football team, and we did a lot of good football things tonight, but we also did some bad football things as well. I place blame squarely on the shoulders of Assistant Coach Goldstein. We really need to make sure he is truly on board this season."

These comments come at a very innorportune time for Goldstein (pictured right) who was arrested earlier last week for lewd and indecent behavior in public. All sources say that he was found to be "having too much sex with fire hydrants".

Also troublesome for Goldstein is that the team continues to win when he does not join Coach Roeing and Coach Eagan during game time. They are 6-0 when the trio meet for the game and a lowly .500 when he manages to attend.

It is obvious Coach Goldstein has some fence mending to do.

Even Assistant Coach Roeing had some harsh words for the besieged coach:

"Pfft... Pfft... Pfft..."

"I have a hair on my tongue, and you put it there Jeff Goldstein..."

"You put the kybosh on my deal, and now I'm going to put the kybosh on you!"

The events of this Sunday have determined two things:

1. The Bears are the real deal, a force to be reckoned with.
2. Assistant Coach Goldstein had better shape up, or the Bears might just let him go the way of David Terrell, disgraced and embarassed.

Assistant Coach Matt Mroz (pictured right) could not be reached for comment by the time of publish.

Turkey Day Approaching Quickly

3 Things Need Attention: 1.) Does anybody want to go to Penny Road Pub on November 22 for the Turkey Testicle Festival? There will be bands (that one Tool coverband will be there, they are good, if the sound works this time), a testicle eating contest, and they are open until like 4am. 2.) Anybody have any ideas on the Thanksgiving 2 celebration?? I've heard some ideas, but nothing concrete. 3.) Turkey Bowl will be here before we know it. This is more of a reminder for you guys. It will most likely be early due to field availability and our wonderful friends who have salmon to eat! Times will come at a later date. Also note, I don't know anything about you guys. I'm not even sure what your names are. Keep on Truckin'

RAIN in the Forecast

ATTENTION, please make sure your women show up for the game. Sure as shit, rain is definitely in the forecast for Saturday. There is only a 30% chance, but this could still scare girls away. Be a man and make sure they don't puss out, actually make sure you don't puss out either! After bowling on saturday, I have confirmed at least 11 girls will be playing. That equates to at least 21 people total for football (I'm sure there will be more). This could be the biggest game we've ever had. Girl on girl action promised. DON'T LET A LITTLE RAIN RUIN THIS!!! Keep on Truckin'

NOVEMBER 11th FOOTBALL

Just a reminder for you all!! Guys and girls football, we have plenty of girls showing up, believe it or not. I'm looking at a total of at least 16 people (which is just counting girlfriends and boyfriends), so technically we should have even more. The game time is getting pushed back to 12:30-1PM...Please make note of this!!! Please spread the word, this is next Saturday. Even the Kock said he will be there to play! Lets show these bitches a good time!! Keep on Truckin'

Chilly Bowl 2006

That's right - the time has come. The Chilly Bowl is right around the corner (the date has been tenatively set for the day after Christmas, and more importantly the Re-Gifting Party).

I am not sure where it will be held. I am guessing that we are looking at either Country Lakes or St. Andrews again. Tee off will be at 10:07 AM.

Let me know if you plan on attending.

A few highlights from past years:

• Quijano walking through a freezing but not frozen stream after downing most of a 12 pack of Leinie's on the front nine.
• The ability to tunnel your way to the hole, ensuring a round of one putts (unless you are lazy)
• Takedowns on the first hole (I believe Vavs took it last year)
• A shirtless trio of Biff, Steve, and Quijano on the back nine last year
• The feeding of booze to Biff so that he can no longer challenge for the White Fish trophy
• Schmelzer leading at the turn only to get too drunk on the back to even come close. (2 years in a row)
• And of course, giving Quijano the dreaded glove slap (2 years in a row)

My gloves are ready, are yours?

Davey Boy Committee Member

I NEED A WOMAN!

Since Vanessa can not make the football game due to work, I need a substitute girlfriend if anyone has someone in mind.
Find me a woman.

No posts huh........

Guys and Gals Football

Well, due to these recent events, I am going to steal the date of November 11th and propose the wonderful idea of guys and girls football. Most of you laugh, but it will be fun. So please notify your women, except for those guys who don't have any (don't worry you can still play, except Biff-and you know why you son of a bitch). It will be two hand touch and at 1pm, rain or shine. Ladies, hike it up! I already have confirmation from at least 6 girls who are willing to play. If this goes to the shitter, the guys can just play, no worries. Please don't be jerkoffs, if you don't like the idea, great, don't show up or talk about how you think it is a bad idea because guess what? I don't give a shit! Keep on Truckin'

Hallowgiving POSTPONED

All,

I apologize, but we have to postpone Hallowgiving 2006. My mom is very ill and Amy and I want to be up in Schaumburg as much as possible over the coming weeks / months. Thanks for understanding. I'm not sure when we'll be able to actually hold the festivities, but I say when we do, we still dress in costumes and eat Thanksgiving fare.

Thanks,

Woodrow and Amy

Dave and I are in for Hollowgiving/Thanks Giving 2... I'm assuming that there will be a surplus of pies again since that's all you guys can manage to bring. Although it was pretty good times smashing them in Chris' face; so I admit, some extra pies are needed. So, if you're bringing something other than a pie please let me know so I can figure out what to make or fill in any holes so we aren't missing mashed potatoes again. I'll take any requests too ;)

Saturday Football?

We should get it organized for Saturday. It should be around 1 or 2 so people can sleep in eventhough sleep is overrated. It was entertaining in the slop and we could only hope that the ground is going to get more sloppy. I was born a mudder. My father was a mudder. My mother was a mudder. I hope this picture will bring out some excitement to rub some mud in somebody's face.

Football!!

Why i will be wearing an athletic supporter this weekend!

HALLOWGIVING 2006

OK, it's settled. Hallowgiving will officially be celebrated on Saturday, November 11th. What better place to show your love of turkey and costume dress-ups like a party in Pekin, where dressing up in "costumes" was invented... Everyone is more than welcome to come down and hang out on Friday the 10th.

We will be in charge of supplying a bird large enough to feed a "clan" of guests and a keg of delcious "pale" ale. You all are responsible for the rest... Please post what you will be bringing, and if you are a pussy and want a punch in the face...post a reason why you won't be able to attend, and wait for YOURS!!! Girlfriends are not only invited, but encouraged. Just a reminder, as Wyz can attest, we have a hot tub and the experience is probably even better with someone else in it.... Also, costumes are a requirement to get into the house, drink our beer and eat our bird (all the "white" meat you can handle).

Tell your friends...

Who likes Hockey?

Anybody up for a hawks game this weekend? Deni wants you to go!!!! A few of us are going to see the hawks play the blues on Sat night. I think the game is at 7:30. If you want to go let me know.

This Weekend......

So today is my sister's birthday, so in honor of this, we are going to Famous Freddie's on Saturday.

Let me know if you want to go.

Davey Boy AnklePain

Once....how about twice..IN A ROW!!!

Yes, yes, it happened!! WE PLAYED FOOTBALL!!! And it was a great turn out. So thank you to all of you that made it. We are going to play again this following weekend of 10/22. Game time is at 12:30pm. So please show up around noon. I will be there by 1:15 at the latest. Don't be gay, I don't need to be there for you guys to play! So everyone count on playing football for a second week in a row. Everyone from this past weekend confirmed they'd show, plus we may have some additions (Please still spread the word to those that don't visit the site). ON another note....would you guys be interested if I organized a guys and girls touch or flag football game??? Would be kind of fun. Just a thought. Mark your calendars for SUNDAY!!!!!!! GO BEARS!!

What up all? Even though Iowa lost the game to Ohio State, this was a picture from Gameday that is classic. Also, I just got back from an interview in Downers Grove and drove past my old job at 2nd swing out there and it is going out of business. The store has a sale of 40% off everything so if you were looking for some type of golf equipment, they have great deals on like ping, callaway, titleist sets of irons from 150-250 and drivers under 100. Just some info i wanted to pass along.
