better late than never…btw, if you’re looking for scores corrections, the scores page is totally up to speed.  then get over it.  tee hee!
*scores (these are from memory and not score sheets, so corrections are likely)
theme: ye olde internet, cuz i’m currently staying at a place that only has dial-up
habs flamed mso, 4-0
henry motion sent links to mbtv’s dawsons wrap-ups to the tuques, 4-3
fresh kills taught netiquette to demons, 4-3 in OT
biters bought a dialer for filthy, 3-2
msq irc’d with bad touch, 4-0
wtp read 2600 to rainbows, 2-1 in OT
pfr went to ao-hell with math, 11-4 (mercy rule anyone?  jeez)
lbs losered unis, 6-2

*week 7 faq
-i’ve played in the league in previous seasons, but i’m not registering until right this second.  does that make me a transfer or just a rolling registrant?
transfers are people who have already registered this season who are switching teams (and need the permission of both their former and future captains, etc, read the registration page), and they pay $8 pp/$5 cash to bob.  if you have played in btsh before but not this season, that makes your registration regular-style, $33pp/$25 to bob, done and done.

for those who have sent me registration info without pp’ing me money, you need to either pay or write both myself and bob to remind bob/let me know that you already paid in person.  i’ve got some forms here without the pp follow up and i’d like to give y’all the benefit of the doubt, but it’s hard.  i’ve been hurt before.

*word on the street
as official league mouthpiece, here’s a not-listing i’ve been asked to spread the word about:

RANDOM STICKS ON THE COURT ARE NOT FREE FOR THE TAKING.
in fact, they have owners, and those owners are fellow btsh’ers how had the forsight to show up at the courts prepared.  they do not deserve to be punished for their planning by having their sticks stolen by that schmuck of the week who didn’t bother to buy a stick yet.  this is the verbose way of saying doesn’t pick up and use sticks that aren’t yours.  thenx!

*kudos/gasface
one each, credited to the author.  i’m that lazy.
Kudos- Rehabs return to the Johnson’s, joining forces with Lbs and forming a league of Justice, drinking, arm-wrestling, singing, love was in the air! - bryan rehabs

gaseface– SB, Please tell people not to steal my stick, and please stick a pin in the voodoo doll that you have of this jackass [ie, the guy who tried to walk off with his stick] [also, i'm still on the road and left my voodoo dolls at home, sorry]. - lessy fk

*listings
-from andrea msq:

New Yorker By Nature Tour Kick-off
This summer, your school or civic group can build community outdoors. Yellow Arrow’s text-message technology will record your ideas about outdoor design on a self-guided walking tour of Fort Greene. Then New Yorker by Nature’s team will help you apply them to your neighborhood. We’ll kick off with bargains on Brooklyn Brewery beers, SmartWater, and dessert, plus a raffle for outdoor treats like a season pass to Rooftop Films and a skating lesson. All ages can enjoy the swingset and new menu at the solar-powered Habana Outpost: Brooklyn. See newyorkerbynature.com and ecoeatery.com for details.

*registration page is up! alex is allowed to live!
http://www.btsh.org/register/teams/
in order to register, you need a login/pw from a team captain. don’t bother asking me for this info, i’ve already forgotten it, your captain should have it.

NEW PLAYERS — DO NOT SHOW UP TO PLAY UNTIL YOU HAVE REGISTERED. REGISTRATION = FILLING OUT A FORM AND PAYING THE FEE. IF YOU PLAY A GAME WITHOUT COMPLETING THOSE 2 STEPS, YOUR TEAM FACES A 10-0 FORFEIT. I’M SORRY TO YELL AT YOU BUT IT’S ONLY BECAUSE I CARE.

*scores (these are from memory and not score sheets, so corrections are likely)

*week 6 faq
-that registration form?
i’m sorry, i’m currently under water here in new hampshire.  ask alex.

*word on the street
as official league mouthpiece, here’s a not-listing i’ve been asked to spread the word about:

COME TO THE JOHNSONS’ SO THEY CAN WELCOME YOU ALREADY, DAMMIT
not enough people hang out at the johnsons after games.  what gives?  yes, it smells, but so do we.  plus the beers are cheap, the music doesn’t suck, and the bartender is rad/gives us free food (look for another free italian feast in june!).  oh, and did we mention you get a free drink with veggie dog next door at dash?  between the two establishments you can get fed, hydrated, and then possibly laid.   there’s really no excuse.

*kudos/gasface
(i didn’t get s’much input, but thenx bob w and brendan h st)
kudos:
-the fk/hm tie, aka, a win/win brennifer bowl
i always find it amusing when couples on different teams play each other and fight, because i’m mean like that, but, since the brendan hm/jenn fk showdown ended in a tie, peace reigned.  dammit.
-DR’s courtside mother’s day
all i’ve been told is that it was “really cute.”  well, duh.  but yay moms, rainbows and otherwise.
-mark mcunis reffing an OT game over playing
it’s always touching when this happens.  which is pretty much never.  viva mark!

the lone gasface:
-rain
i spent saturday at a sheep and wool festival (don’t ask) in the pouring rain.  nothing like a festival to celebrate…damp wool.  the weather report has gone from wet to biblical. make it stop.

*correction
bill tuques was not, as reported last week, hit in the crotch–  he was hit in the knee.  when i was told that he sustained a “lower body injury” (with quotes, just like that), i assumed the messenger was being coy.  i regret the error/any undue attention to bill’s bikini area.

*kudos/gasface
with input from bob w, alicia fk, haanwa mso, and schuie gab.  thenx dudes!
kudos:
-nick mso for being reponsibile for of our first punished public pee
not only did he get a summons for public urination, the cop that busted him was albino!  in a park with no bathrooms, you’d think the law would turn an al-blind-o eye, but no.
-reffing positivity
schuie said that he got an unsolicited reffing compliment on sunday for a game he wasn’t even reffing.  feeling the love!
-4 injury free weeks
all acls, retinas, and ankles remain totally intact so far.  knock on wood.  but not too hard.

gasface:
-whichever cocksmoker gave amy baker a black eye when he pushed her out of the way to score a goal
you heard me.  who did that?  and then refused to even apologize when she called you on it?  are you for real?  are you aware that i’m currently in a state where concealed weapons are legal?  do you want me to put live free or die to the test?  didn’t think so.
-mexican stand-off’s private party
public park, kids.  no dice.  don’t bring in treats unless you’re prepared to share with the rest of the class.
-no pat, no peace
when the equipment manager can’t show, we all suffer.

*new and improved!  registraiton is coming back!
just fyi,
-there are face-off dots at corlears.  nice!
-rosters are now open, so cap’ns, check your inboxes later this week for details, and the page should be up and running later this week.
*lost and found
from holly ann tuques:
did anyone report a found tuques jersey on sunday? (yellow, size youth large, probably smelly?) mine seems to have disappeared.  write holly at unfussyfood dot com

math gave heart disease to mso, 7-3

*week 3 faq
-it was so rainy in the morning!  are games ever cancelled due to weather?
not s’much.  if it’s raining, just prepare–  bring a garbage bag to cover your hockey bag with, a set of dry clothes, an umbrella, etc.  now, if there’s a seriously weather emergency, the kind that makes you tape up your windows and buy bottled water, we’ll talk about cancelling.  until then, game on.

*kudos/gasface
with input from jon rehabs and lessy fk.  thenx dudes!
kudos:
-bob vs bottles
bob and his broom were ready for some broken glass on the court before the bottles were even broken.  and you wonder why i have no worries about leaving hockey in his hands.
-happy lessy
jeff writes me that the mighty squirrels/filthy gorgeous game “was close throughout and both teams were well behaved and they played hockey the way it should be played in BTSH.”  it’s not just heartwarming, it’s adorable.
-pfr f’d
pfr lost?  it’s christmas in april!  and you guys should ask santa for better attendance!

gasface:
-missing my second-to-last week of hockey
at least i’ll get to drive by next week on my way out of the city.  but just in case anyone asks me where the first aid kit is or complains about a ref, i’m leaving the rental car engine running.
-tied games
are tied for being both lame and stupid.  what can you do.
-jersey confusion
if your team has a color, get a shirt in that color.  not in that color’s family, or in it’s “season,” or in a color that has one of the same letter’s as your team color, but IN YOUR TEAM COLOR.  for the english and canadian people out there, COLOUR.  i said good day!

it’s one of those bars where you get a free pizza with every beer, plus there’s skee-ball, so this is the closest thing to chuckee cheese this side of the atlantic center.  the person who comes in a foam suit dressed as any mascot drinks for free, i promise.

-from rebecca ex-henry motion:
so. i’m looking to visit nyc this summer, at a couple of different times.
