AWOL boardmen
  • Rumor has it three of Lucky Charms' beefiest young boardmen skipped her 2008 season debut -- including the Guvnah's Cup, goddamn it! -- to ... watch the Cambridge powerboat races? You can pause to spit out your sweetened, marshmallowy breakfast cereal all over your computer screen, but that sentence is correct. Dove huntin's one thing ... but powerboat races? Breaks my heart. What's next, award-winning senior Woodstock primary Jeep Jallade missing the final weekend for a show jumping exhibition in the Hamptons? I think not.
    We know who you deserters are and where you live, and until further notice and/or lengthy explanations over copious quantities of beer, your Boardman Union memberships are on temporary suspension. That means no access to the Boardman's Commissary and its free pound of scrapple with each purchase of Boudreaux Butt Paste.

    If I can make it to the races anyone can- why for powerboats...succumbing to the ways of the motor-boating S.O.B.'s. It is a sad day for the Boardman's Union, a said day I tell you.

    It is a sad sad day. Maybe they they were racing motorized spring-boards over there. The only thing that would make me miss a race is the lack of many martinis (pain-killers) after it. Who's the president of the Boardman's Union? I think we should open a bar named "Boardman in Paradise" that's what its like on Woodstock I hear tell.
  • Or maybe they just got confused and headed the wrong way on Rt. 50. Us primaries are a little thick all over, including the skull at times. I don't know if the B.U. has ever had the energy to hold an election.
    We'll be waiting patiently to hear from the General Mills'  turncoats.
    Muscle, my squelch would wince at your blanket generalizations. "Share the river," man.

    Ahh, I get so board on days we do not race. I found myself eating a huge amount of food, a huge piece of chicken, hot dogs, and about 2.5 lbs of ribs with a fair amount of Ill Eagle Ale to wash it all down.
    So, now I find myself 5 lbs heavier and completely useless if I have no board to toss....

    "I get so board ..."
    This could describe a day on log canoe. At first I thought this was a simple spelling error and that you meant to say "bored." Now I understand the keen wit lurking beneath your meaty exterior. I, too, get board.

    Yes, underneath this thick primary frame is just a bit of gray matter that has a few wrinkles in it which provides me with a touch of wit from time to time.

    I have found myself in a pint of knot so pale ale, waiting for the boards...oh it will be a glorious day when I am on the boards again.

    Thanks to Scrappledog...there is a new term Belchie.
