(vol.
24W, no. 10; newsletter by b.n.)
I think that the next time the Coastal Pirates Executive Committee gets
together, they should vote on whether or not newsletters are required
after a Consolation game. As it stands now newsletters are
required after Consolation games, but not after a
Scrimmage. What the heck is the difference? And who are these people
that are on this “Executive Committee”? I searched every available web
page on coastalpirates.com and I have been unable to find any reference
to its members. I have also searched for any
official resolutions that state anything on the subject and — as you would
expect — I have been unable to find anything (other then Roger's resolution to stop shooting the puck into
his own net, but that is really another matter). I have also combed the site
for any record of meetings, but I have been
unable to find any record of any meetings and/or minutes from these gatherings.
So
I got
to thinking. What does this remind me of? Dick Cheney and his secret
meetings with the oil companies that helped generate Americas' energy
policy? Speaking of Dick Cheney and secret meetings: There is no
truth to the rumor that he was hanging-out with the Pirates drinking
Pabst Blue Ribbons™ the night before he shot that dude in Texas (truth
be told, he was drinking one of Mike Farrell's Silver Bullets™). But alas,
perhaps we are barking up the wrong tree. Maybe it wasn't Dick Cheney
all. Perhaps it was DPW (no, not Department of Public Works — Dubai Ports
World). It is rumored that as part of their $6.8 billion
dollar acquisition of Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co, they
not only gained control of the Ports in and around New York, but they have taken control of the Coastal Pirates as well.
Oh the horror!
p.s. Bob Currao loves Pirate Booty.
date of game: 2.15.06
editor's note: The above image is a recreation of the scene outside of GoodSports on Wednesday after the game. Apparently someone wrote “Bobby Loves Pirate Booty!” in the dirt on the side of his Tauras. No #67 was not available for comment.
