Wednesday Nighters

Some middle-aged Canucks in a beer league called the "Wednesday Nighters" are suing for the rights to play for the Stanley Cup... trouble for the Nighters is, well, aside from their age, lack of skill, naivete, and whatever side effects come with Cialis, they don't have goalies. This is a shot in the dark but that just may hurt their credibility with the courts.

"We do not take this lightly," said Gard Shelley, an amateur hockey player in his mid-50s. ... "I'm frustrated as most hockey fans are that the NHL and the NHLPA lost the season. I don't know which side of that issue I'm on. I'm just frustrated with the fact that there is no hockey being played. I don't think that's what Lord Stanley intended. I think he had a higher purpose for his donation."

Surely, the Nighters are in the realm of Lord Stanley's higher purpose. The good thing is that if they win their suit, the Nighters will be ready to go, as they plan to battle for the Cup in classic white jerseys vs. black style... Spy vs. Spy may also volunteer their services in order to add a little flavor to the outing.

No goalies... unbelievable. Tomorrow I'm gonna go out and try to bowl with no pins. Maybe they'll let me on the PBA tour.
