NEW FOSSIL INTERVIEW - SEE IT HERE FIRST!
HOT OFF THE PRESS! JUST CLICK THE TITLE AND YE SHALL RECEIVE -
Frankly, I'm not so sure that these soon to be Fossils are taking this entire half century thing seriously, but I am not here to judge, only to share.......(how long will it be before you tube cancels my account? Let's face it - it's only going downhill from here on in)

Support Jen Sommerman & Ovarian Cancer Research
On a serious note...
Jenn heads out to Israel soon for the first of four Triathlons to raise money for Ovarian Cancer Research. Any donations, big or small will help Jenn to achieve her $15,000 fund raising goal. With your help, she'll make it.
Donations are just a click away - no matter how big or small, every penny counts!
JUST CLICK ON THE HEADER AND OFF YOU GO!

These are a Few of the Spartan's Favorite Things
“Chateau Cardboard”
The first brainstorm to dump wine in a box came from a South Australian named Tom Angove, a wine maker who must have been bored, or simply could not afford bottles and corks. Needless to say, Mr. Angove received a patent for his “idea” in April of 1965 . In Australia, it’s known as a “goon” which makes it's comsumer's goonies....(cheese selection - Velveeta or Cheese Whiz)
Beer
Did you know that Beer is the world’s oldest and most popular alcoholic beverage? And what variety! Ale, lager, pale, dark, and just plain old rot-gut (Red Dog is a fine example of the latter) And much like Chateau Cardboard, someone had the warped idea to package in small bottles before moving up to keg sized bombs. Thankfully it has not been packaged in cardboard just yet. (cheese selection - pretzels)
Martini
What used to be a succulent blend of gin and dry vermouth has now been expanded as well as “yuppi-fied” (thanks to Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha on Sex in the City) to include other types of rocket fuel (vodka, etc.) Described as “crisp” the martini has been called “as perfect as the sonnet” as well as the “elixir of quietude.” The quietude quote makes sense as after consuming 3 martini’s, you lose all ability to speak anyway, which will occur after 5 lemon drops or 5 cosmos. TAXI! (cheese selection - limburger - you won't be able to taste it anyway, just bring a clothespin for your nose)
“14” (better known as a 7 and 7)
Whiskey please – did you know that Pepsi (with 2 other buyers) purchased the Seagram’s beverage division in 2000? What happens if Seagram’s production moves to a Pepsi plant? Guess we have a bunch of happy children and adults dancing in the streets!
Although in movies we see actors drinking a wide variety of cocktails, 7&7’s have appeared in the movies Mean Streets (Harvey Keitel orders one) Saturday Night Fever (how cool did Travolta look sipping a 7&7 in his white leisure suit?) Goodfellas (deNiro the Italian wannabe) as well as the Soprano’s (Jackie Aprile Jr. enjoyed a 7&7 at the Bada Bing – of course he was later shot in the head, was it for selling drugs or messing with Tony’s daughter?) as well as The Office (Casino Night episode) (cheese selection - raclette - you'll need something strong to kill the taste)
Irish Coffee
Who thought of this one? Irish whiskey, hot coffee, sugar and whipped cream? This is a drink for the elderly (which is why it appears here) Hit an “early bird” event or luncheon in small café’s and take note to what the blue hairs are drinking. We think it’s coffee – they know it’s a good way to get cocked and avoid passing out on the way back to the senior citizens complex (that’s where the coffee comes in handy) (cheese selection - American - don't waste your money, buy the store brand)
Dark & Stormy (more like a tsunami if you drink more than 4)
A British highball, if you will, contains dark rum and ginger beer over ice.
In Australia, Bundaberg rum is used – Bermuda, the Spartan’s favorite Gosling’s. Queensland actually produces a pre-mixed version (how convenient) In Bermuda, only Barritts ginger ale is used to mix this cocktail to allow “the essential bite without the burn.” Have a few of these and you’ll have another “elixir of solitude” on your hands, not to mention a good headache (this is where the term Pub Crawl came from, too many of these and you can’t walk anyway) (cheese selection - muenster. Why? Why not?)
Always remember, when serving cheese with your favorite beverage there are no rights or wrongs. Usually by the time you start consuming your cheese selection you are drunk and can't taste it anyway, rather, you eat it because you have this warped notion that the cheese will absorb some of the alcohol, which just ain't so. Rule of thumb when consuming alcohol, if you've had a good day at work, consume only one drink per hour to allow your body to process the alcohol. Better yet, go to the Villa and order some food - it won't stay in your stomach very long anyway.
There you have it. If your favorite cocktail has been missed, my apologies.

THE SPARTAN HIT CHART FROM 2005 !
I've got a HEMATOMA
The size of Oklahoma
You'll never hit a homer,
With a HEMATOMA
(chorus)
HEMATOMA - HEMATOMA
And when you're through, you'll be black and blue
And in a coma.....
(you sang it out loud, didn't you?)

WOMAN PICKED UP BY I.N.S. FOR BAD DRIVING AT F-1
reuters international, May 12, 2008
A woman who resides in Northbridge was taken from her home Monday evening for poor driving habits at F-1 in Braintree, MA. and returned (postage due) to the UK.
The alleged poor driving incident took place on May 10th. After being warned several times by racing officials to get her pokey butt out of the way, the woman, only known as "Jo" heeded all warnings given by track personnel.
Upon arrival in the UK, Queen Elizabeth was quoted as saying "Bollocks - Just what we need, another rotten driver"
In an interview with ex presidential candidate Mitt Romney, his stance on bad drivers in Massachusetts were quite clear "She should be locked up and the key thrown away"
Ms. "Jo" could not be reached for comment.

SPARTAN'S AND NEW FOSSILS TAKE TO THE TRACK AT F-1
F-1 Braintree is the place where we welcome in a new gaggle of "FOSSILS"
Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally "having been dug up") are the mineralized or otherwise preserved remains or traces (such as old bats, gloves, or cleats) of old softball players, Rindge party-goers, old ladies that hang out at Morn's and the Villa, and other organisms. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) alcohol formations and sedimentary layers is known as the Spartan fossil record.
The study of fossils across sporting time, how they were formed, and the evolutionary relationships between taxa (phylogeny) are some of the most important functions of the science of fossil Spartantology.
The relative geological time scale, as developed during the visit to Cooperstown, is based largely on the fossil content of the softball field on Bradford Street in Wayland. The development of radiometric dating techniques in the early 20th century allowed Spartantologists to determine Fossils range in age from the relatively recent TO several thousands of days in age to those of the Lentros era several billions of years old.(S-Dean-a-saurous Rex is a good example of several billions of years old)(In case you were wondering)
Fossils vary in size from pint size (little Dude) to gigantic (no comment.) A fossil normally preserves only a portion of the deceased organism, usually that portion that was partially mummified during life due to drinking too much cheap wine and poor dietary habits. Preservation of soft tissue is exquisitely rare in the Spartan Fossil.
So now you know - and hopefully you'll be able to step on the gas with your FOSSILIZED limbs.....
