Notes From Under The Blue Hat

INTRO:                  

                                 Today is 11-29-1.  I hope everyone had a great turkey day filled with butterballs and Greek cheese.  I wonder if anyone had a traditional Thanksgiving.  As in invite your neighbors over, feed them, kill them, then take their stuff…….let’s move and see what’s in the mailbag! Oh yeah, be sure to check out the new section in the notes….BIRTHDAYS.

 

 

MAILBAG:  This email was sent to me from [email protected]:

 

20 Questions with actual answers.

 

Ok, so that’s just the title of his email.  You’ll have to wait until Thursday, December 13th to find out more about our newest player.  Until then he’ll be a man of mystery.

 

 

PLAYER NEWS:   

 

                                 Newcomer Brain Prince is as excited as ever to be a part of the team.  He’s definitely got the Peetage blood running through his veins.  This long time friend of teammates Matt Marken and Carl Buchin will be quite an asset this season and really show us what he can do.  It’s all shenanigans from here on out!

                    

                                 Mike “ In fact” O’Neil (You’ll know later) is still in his chair watching football.  He was kind enough to do a sit down interview on tape with Matt Marken in recent weeks.  There’s not much more to report on Mike right now other than his wife who likes to dress as Harry Potter characters.

 

                                 Jason Krimm likes pancakes.  All I have to say is that his 20 questions are up and on fire!  Jason by far has put in the most effort and provides some very entertaining answers.  To give you an idea, Jason’s word count was 1,500.  Believe it or not, there is another Peetage player that recently returned his questions and he had a count of 2,600!  This furthers the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys, or rather the O’Neil’s and the Krimm’s.

                                

                                  Casey “Alexander” O’Neil is busy with interviews and internships lately.  Not anything very baseball related.  Although upon the firing of Tony Clark I did see the tiger flag down the street at half-mast….

 

                                 Philippe Burney.  Absent from Tim Orow’s end of the season shindig.  Unheard from after the season had ended.  Making babies like there’s no tomorrow.  All signs point to Philippe suffering from hemorrhoids.

 

                                 Jeff Wade.  Also absent from Tim Orow’s house.  Absent from the final game.  No word currently on his whereabouts.  All signs point to Jeff returning to his day job of posing as a tree on the Barney show.

 

                                 Tim Orow.  I can’t possibly say all the mean things I have to say here after Tim’s end of season party.  We had food, fun, and shenanigans as usual.  We retired a number that night as well in honor of Craig Kelley.  So from now on I only have nice things to say about “The Catman” Timmy Orow.  What a guy! 

 

                                 Scotty “Bread pan” Krimm is recovering nicely….(Read Jason’s 20 Questions)

 

                                 Matt “talent scout” Marken has brought Brian Prince into the Peetage family.  Brian is willing to play anywhere, work hard, and just have a lot of fun with us goofballs.  Matt is currently still trying to gain weight.  He’s up to 16 oz.  In other unimportant “news”, he is thinking about returning to his roots and working at the Farmington Hills Ice Arena once again.  What he will do after Graduation in May is another tuffy.

                                

Damian Krimm stopped by Matt’s house to give him a Dane Cook cd.  That’s all we can tell you right now.

 

                                 Bill Marken is spending his off-season time hunting up north.  He has already got a spike deer or something.

 

                                 Tim “when do we get the freakin guns” Marken is also hunting with Fire Marshall Bill up north.  Is this really a good idea?  Tim…. with a gun!  Only bad things can happen from this.  We’ll keep you posted about the situa………BANG BANG…….this is timmypoopers. I have to be rid of my brother. I’m getting sick and tired of everyone thinking I’m such thug.  I was never in jail…yes I’ve been on probation for stealing the boxed set of the Golden Girls series but I don’t think that’s anything to get bent out of shape about…..from now on I want to be called Timmy Sunshine and Lollypops.  Get it right.

 

                                 Randy Dell is too busy for lunch.  Oh, and what a pitcher too.

 

                                 Chris “Nads” Mazzara has worked out his schedule to be able to come home Thursday nights to play Peetage and stay for the weekend.  Didn’t I tell you he had the look of a champion?  Look forward to some incredible play by this youngster…..(by the way Nads if you’re reading this, I need you to sign that cymbal which I put up for auction, thanks.)

 

                                 Jim Bradow.  Dreams do come true.  Welcome back!

 

 BIRTHDAYS:  There are no Peetage member’s birthdays for the month of November.

 

PEETAGE SURVEY: 

 

Someone keeps voting for the Markens.  Although it’s really no contest.  Still, nothing can beat the power of Carl.  Suggestions for a new poll can be sent to [email protected]. 

 

PEETAGE RUMORS: 

 

Rumors that 3 “top dogs” on the team will not be returning are true.

 

Rumors that the Krimms like pancakes are true.

 

Rumors that Brain Prince will be the hottest thing since sliced bread are true.

 

Rumors about your mom and Carl couldn’t possibly be true.

 

Rumors that large jackets can prevent colds are true.

 

Rumors that personal stats are more important than winning and having fun are false.

 

 

FAN OF THE WEEK: 

 

Our current fan of the week is Mark “Uncle Ben” Kehres.  No one knows of this man.  So let me splain.  He is a former co-worker of Matt Marken at the Arctic Dump ice arena.  He does just ask much promotion as Nads and has all of his friends using the word Peetage as an adjective.  He’s got the Peetage bug.  UB, I honor you.

 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?:

 

                                    Well this damn section just seems to be getting longer and longer as the months go by.  Let’s dig in and get this over with…..

 

                                    Jason Buntine.  It is not yet known where our second basemen will be playing next season.  We wish him well n stuff.

                       

                                    “CRAZY” Carl Buchin has been acting, singing, and now exposing several of his many talents.  He’s giving this theatre thing his all and I see no reason why Carl can’t reach the top.

 

                        Anthony G Ciatti.  Could we see a possible Revolution Reunion?

 

Jimmy “Airwolf” Moore had a great turkey day and is enjoying the warm sunshine of Arizona.  Is seems like just last month he was banging on my door at midnight….

 

                                    Matt Ritzler is getting married or something

 

                                    Brad MadDonald is the guy with the bagpipes. 

 

                                    Kyle Galan is still that crazy kid we once knew.  In fact in recent 20 Question interviews Kyle has been most voted as favorite former player.

 

Lorne may give us all a little surprise soon…..and this time, I mean it.

 

Gary Ushiro rules and he cooks a good omelet.

 

                                    Scott Matusicky swallows.

 

Craig Kelley officially had his number retired at Tim Orow’s house.  He’s doing great and has his signed poster board in his office.  Check out the tribute to him on the history page.

 

Jeff Ellsworth has been in recent contact.  Talk to screen name “Girthandearth” for details on Jeff.

 

Scott Krimm’s brother in law played one game.  There is no reason to put this here other than to plug another Krimm.

 

                                    Mike Meiss and Ryan like to make sweet love by the fire.

 

                                    Don.

 

Pat Morgan eats lead based paint and likes it.

 

 

RANDOM CRAP:

 

                                    For you hockey fans out there, Gordie Howe will be appearing at the Arctic Dump Ice Arena in Plymouth Michigan on December 8th…or was it the 9th, to sign his bobbeling head.  Meet the King of hockey right here in hockeytown! 

 

                                    We need more pictures on this website.

                       

                                    Any ideas as to what to give away to fan number 10,000?

 

                                    ONE HOT MINUTE!……Details soon to come. 

                                   

                                    Currently the bidding for the Backseat Rhythm cymbal is $5.00.  Brian Prince in the high bidder and he dares you to outbid him!

 

                                    The most recent groupie of Backseat Rhythm, Alisha Sawicki is becoming a HUGE fan of our team and website.  She helps promote our site and she checks in every week for a new 20 Questions interview and updates.  She certainly will be a fan of the week and will be attending games next season…. not to mention she’s quite a looker and play in a local band called FGM.

 

                                    I’d also like to put in the random crap section that Peetage is an unstoppable machine.  We’ve had lineup changes before but so has Van Halen and they still got by.  Likewise, nothing will stop us.  We will continue to have fun, eat at IHOP, and pray that Laura, for the love of God, will speak quieter this season.  You never know…. this could be our best season yet standings wise, but even better shenanigans wise!
