Monkeys Beat Salmon



The Crackmonkeys are a perfect 3-0 after eating the Slammin Salmons, 2-0 on Wednesday night. It was a game that summed up Monkey volleyball very well....utter destruction in game one, and complete disinterest in game two, minus our supersub Jamie, who continued to outplay everyone else.

We were happy to welcome Kathy back to the fold. She did not disappoint, and made Mike hit entirely too much.

Also, the two Monkey children, Taylor and Macey, were incredibly well behaved. Which means we all have some work to do.

Congratulations to Alex, who drew the first blood of the year, on his hand. Luckily, he did not infect the rest of us with his herp.

Other than that, it was an uneventful night of volleyball, a good night of drinking, and great preparation for the Grilling of the Meats 9, this Sunday at Alex's house. Any questions, please contact Mike or Glenn, GotM originators, immediately.

.....and we're back......



with the dramatic story of how James Ivaska saved Christmas.
Or, at the very least, the Crackmonkey volleyball season.
The volleyball team was at a crossroads with Tony still on the shelf with his massive internal surgery, and there was talk from the captain about scrapping the season completely. When James heard the woeful tale while drinking at the Blind Pig, he offered to play, and hence we're back. And it certainly will set up a tense match when we play James' old team, who will try to Gillooly one of us.

The team is now 2-0, after last night's 2-nothing win over SCUDMissile, minus the SCUDMissile himself. Beef sustained the first injury, what she deemed a hip pointer, as if she'd have any clue. My diagnosis was a hip bruise.

In true Monkey style, there was a sexual incident, as Jamie ignored Mike's request for oral sex on the court. That didn't stop Mike from attempting it anyways.

Jamie proved once again a capable and enjoyable sub, Jill was as stuck up as always, Alex didn't kill anybody, Beef bitched about her hip, and James wanted to play soccer.

Beers were had, although Beef continues to put coke in hers. So foul.

Kathy rejoins the team next week.
That is all for now, enjoy your week.
