Mark Pioli/CTAL/CTC 03/11/2005 08:56 AM Subject Nuccitelli News As I fell to the ice after the game someone asked me if I was o.k I said I am fine " I know how to fall, I just don't know how to stand" Well Mauro the curling team knows how to stand and does not know how to fall. The game started out really bad, missed shot after missed shot we were in a deep hole.Mauro sometimes your best players have to be your best players, looking to lose the third end in a row, Bruce was faced with a very high pressure shot. The shot... between 2 guards, maybe 1 1/2 rock wide and tap the yellow out. George, Garth and myself knew this was the game. Bruce calmly released the stone and as the rock was half way down the ice we knew he made PLAN "A". The yellow rock spilled out and we had 3 points. Bruce put us on his back and carried us to victory. Garth was so excited he lost all bodily functions and the curling rink promptly smelt like rotten eggs. The game had a bit of sadness to it as our good friend George has announced he is leaving CTFS because he hates you, Bruce, Mike and Garth. George feel free to take Garth's spot in the lineup anytime, just show up when you would like to play and we will send Garth home. After the game Garth wanted to dump a jug of gatorade over Bruce's head but he got all confused and just dumped beer all over himself. Poor Donna, Garth tailoring his diet for maximum flatulence and smelling like beer, Garth might be heading for number 4. Bruce Clark/CTAL/CTC 03/11/2005 12:42 PM Mark: Thanks for the kind words.There is no "I" in team hence the team victory. It would appear that the "demon rum" has once again reared it's ugly head. More than once Garth said to me that we had the "last rack" It appeared to me that Garth was more concerned about being the last one to the buffet line than the outcome of the game. George and I were concerned about your fall and we made efforts to pick you up. Garth was concerned to the point that he almost fell over you himself packing up to get to the bar. That's what friends are for!!! Thanks for hanging with me!!! Make mental note to wear rubber clothing for all future liquid consumption.
