Prior to Jiblet Jam VI (2002)

Friends, New Milfordites, Winners of NN2:GMM....lend me your ears! 

 

In just a mere 18 days America will celebrate our oldest and most coveted holiday....Thanksgiving.  America celebrate this holiday in the honor of our ancestors who came to this great country, invited their new neighbors to a fantastic feast to celebrate their success, killed them, and took their land....ah the roots of democracy and liberty!

 

Once again the members of the SNMFC, recognizing the need to celebrate this national holiday, will descend upon their hometown of New Milford, congregate on the frozen tundra of Hill & Plain field, and honor their ancestors by kicking each others asses on the football field.

 

I'm not talking about another one of those glorious exhibition matches we had up in Vermont several weeks ago, I'm talking about real smash-mouth, trash-talking, tom-foolery ridden football.  Here is where we will return to our roots and continue a time-honored tradition that began nearly six years ago on the frozen tundra.

 

We've had two weeks to celebrate the greatest victory in the storied history of the SNMFC, but now that period of celebration must end.  For it is time to once again get our minds in trash-talking mode and our medicine cabinets full of Advil.  Jiblet Jam VI: Jam Harder will take place on Thursday, November 28th and I expect to see everyone there.

 

-Brian

 

P.S. Who knows they will defintely be able to play that day? I'm assuming Jamie, Shemeley, T-Dog, and Rooney are in along with myself.  That makes 5.  Roonz, is your brother available again?  Marc can you make it up from Florida or we will have to wait until Jingle Jam (or Santa Slam) to see you again?  Hoose, same question only replace Florida with California.  Ben & Kevin will you be around for the game?  Hope to see you all there.

Hey kids,

 

I love the smell of football in the morning...it smells like...victory.

 

Anywhoo, yeah, I'll be around for the time-honored tradition of the Jiblet Jam (which reminds me that I should probably get in some sort of physical shape, since we aren't playing a bunch of Vermont peacenik hippies). 

 

Because I have Wednesdays and Thursdays off.  Otherwise I'd be SOL. 

 

Speaking of that, I have to go to work soon.  And Durand, I think I smelled some leftist propaganda in your email (big surprise).  Yeah, we killed Indians.  And they killed us too.  Either way, we're all part of the same species.  Everybody kills everybody.  Some of us just do it better than others.  Which is why Vermont can't take over the world.  My point?  I like stories.  Well, have a good one.  See some/all/none of you on the frozen tundra of hill and plain school.

I agree with most of the recent rhetoric.  Leave it to me to tell you all that the post-NN2 honeymoon is over.  We must now focus our minds, and our web site, on the upcoming Jiblet Jam VI.

 

I must, however, contend with my brethren on the following points:

 

1) “Jam Harder?”  Too generic, and I think that was the theme of Jams II-IV.  I would instead like to borrow a line from National Lampoon's European Vacation and offer:

 

Jiblet Jam VI: Me and My Family Are Looking for Sex

 

2) “For it is time to once again get our minds in trash-talking mode and our medicine cabinets full of Advil.”

 

Or in Jamie's case, Desitin for his sore ass.

 

3) What's the deal with the Shawn?  Has anyone seen the Shawn?  Are you NH (ergo NM) bound this Thanksgiving?

 

4) Hey, anyone who is in town should come to my apt in Naugy for a post-jam licking of wounds Friday night.  Rooney, I know what you're thinking, and no, I'd rather lick my own wounds, thank you.

 

So yeah, I'm definitely in.  Right now, we have 1-on-1 with an automatic QB (Me, Durand and Shmeelz).  So who else is in?

In response to those who've responded:

 

1.) "Which reminds me that I should probably get in some sort of physical shape, since we aren't playing a bunch of vermont peacenik hippies."

 

Well said Shmeelz, this certainly will be more a strenuous engagement than our last outing for sure.

 

2.) "Jiblet Jam VI: Me and My Family Are Looking for Sex"

 

I'm not married to the idea of Jiblet Jam VI: Jam Harder (developing catchy names for our games is not my strong suit...that's a task better suited for Hoose, Hall, or Tommy although that is a strange choice for the name of the big game there T-Dog).

 

3.)"Or in Jamie's case, Desitin for his sore ass."

 

Great they make a product for Jamie to heal his ass with after it gets kicked around all afternoon...why can't they make a product that keeps his ass from coming out of his pants in the first place?

 

4.) "What's the deal with the Shawn?"

 

Last I heard (he posted on his comic strip website last week) he was going to be moving to New Hampshire in the near future.  Don't know when that will be but hopefully he'll be on the way there to make a convenient pit stop for the big game.

 

5.) "Anyone who is in town should come to my apt in Naugy for a post-jam licking of wounds Friday night."

 

I'm in.

 

6.) "So who else is in?"

 

Excellent question, who else we got? Jamie & Rooney I'm looking in your direction.

From: Tom Marks

I think there are several bits of SNMFC business to address before JJVI.

 

1) Who will commit our glorious victory in NNII to posterity?  The web site must be updated so the whole world will know who reigns supreme in the arena of pick-up football.  I nominate Hoose, since his contributions to JJVI will be limited at best, being on the West Coast.

 

2) What time will we jam?  If you all can pull your lazy asses out of bed, I say we jam at 9am.  I will have some "family shit" to do around noon, which means I need to be clean by then.  So 9-11 works best for me.  I think that time also works for Dolan.  Also, once we establish the time, we can have Shawn update the Countdown to Eternal Jamnation

 

3) I think he'll be on the west coast anyway, but if not, should I invite Don to jam?

 

4) Durand, bring your cones.

 

If Dols plays, we have seven (Jamie, I'm just assuming you're in, because you bleed SNMFC).  Do I hear eight?

Hello everyone,

 

>"1) Who will commit our glorious victory in NNII to posterity?"

 

I also nominate Hoose for this task (assuming he isn't too busy) seeing as how there are few out there who can describe our monumental victory in NNII so eloquently while at the same time using such memorable one-liners as "The game was over quicker than that show Girl's Club" to recap the game.

 

>"2) What time will we jam?"

 

I also concur with 9 AM as a jam time.  This has been our standard starting time for 4 years now and it allows all of us to fulfill our "family shit" (well said T-Dog) obligations in the afternoon.

 

>"3.) "Should I invite Don to jam?

 

Any member, past or present, who sided with us in our defining moment as a football concern (see the aforementioned blowout in NNII: GMM) shall always be welcome at our games.

 

>"4.) Durand, bring your cones."

 

Done and done. And I mean done.

 

Two weeks to JJVI, see you there,

Brian

Ahoy-hoy gentlemen.  While being in the retail field, I may be limited in my ability to participate in this splendid event, however if the game is between 9-11, I may be able to work from 12-4 and thus be able to play, I will remain in touch.  As for Hoose he will be heavy on logistics, tape study and such to us and I'd like to thank the "Coach" in advance there.

Hey kids,

 

What up?  9am is early.  And I will grumble, but I should still be able to make that time.  Well, I'll be there by 930 in keeping with my usual record of being late to everything we do.  I'm not gonna be in town long tho, so I don't think I'll be involved in any other wackiness.  Basically I'm showing up Wednesday, getting done everything I should have done in NM 3 months ago, and leaving Thursday after the triptophene wears off.  And hotmail is telling me that Hall's account is full (due to a combination of porn/loan/meds/credit/mlm spam and the 800 or so SNMFC emails), and psu's servers were telling me he doesn't exist (they do that to everyone there from what I understand...you can seat 108000 people but you can't give them working email accounts) so it won't let me send this email to him.  Tho it could be lying.  Not that he's gonna care about my rambling anyways.  So he's not in the reply.  Ah well.  Have a good one.

I was at the mall this past weekend when totally out of the blue I ran into someone we haven't seen since high school.

 

We started talking a little bit and it turns out he's living in the Philly area now.

 

He'll be back in New Milford visiting family over Thanksgiving weekend and I mentioned that I would be heading home for the holidays as well to play in Jiblet Jam VI (and visit family too I suppose).

 

He didn't know we still played football together since high school ended and asked if he could play with us again.  I told him I'm sure we could always use another player.

 

He wanted to show up as a complete surprise that morning, but I told him I had to let everyone know there was another player coming in case we picked teams over email this week (which of course will invariably mean we will have to repick them Thursday morning when Jamie oversleeps). 

 

So I told him I would let everyone know we have another player (I think this makes nine now that Marc is coming home from Florida) but let his identify remain anonymous until he makes his appearance at JJVI.

 

For those who are curious, let's just say he's a ghost of SNMFC past (meaning he played with us on multiple occasions during high school).

"The Return of Gambone": This ranks among the best ideas of all time.  Nobody suspects a thing.  I'm actually stoked for the return of Gambone until I remember that I am playing Gambone.  I can almost envision a scenario in which I jump out of your car in a pillow-stuffed eagles jersey and Gambone mask, carrying around a box of donuts and doing the lindy hop, when the real Gambone emerges from behind the bushes and hits me over the back of the head with a folding chair.  Could you see this?  We say this every year, but this has the chance to be the most memorable Jiblet Jam of all time.

Hey look, I'm still alive!  Since I have a whole hour of free time (my lunch break) I'll be able to update the neglected SNMFC site.  Hopefully I'll be able to update it regularly until Jam time (until my computer is packed anyway).

 

Speaking of which, if you haven't heard (via my website or via me randomly yelling at you) Alyssa and

I are moving up to Derry, NH on Nov.24-26!  So exciting, yet...so very painful.  Between my job (which is practically full-time again), creating Staccato content for a book being published soon, and packing, I've been kinda MIA.  Sorry about that.  I'm still considering a trip down from NH for JJVI:MAMFALFS, but driving conditions and laziness will be determining factors.  I'd say there's a 20% chance I'll show, if percentages help anything.

Nine guys for JJVI is a respectable showing.  And you have to figure that at least one of the three "possibles" will show making it ten. (And no, I don't think it's time for Lil' Durand to lace up and enter our games yet).

Now that our bodies and schedules can no longer survive the rigors of 2 games in three days, I suggest we retire the Jingle Jam and Boxing Day Massacre Monikers, at least for this year, and call our late December match, SNMFC Kwanza Khaos.  Whaddya say?  Why not play this one on Sunday 12/22?  I doubt family obligations will be as demanding on the 22nd.  Hall, Rooney, Durand and I threw this and other ideas about during the latest SNMFC player’s union meeting session at Elan’s of Connecticut last Saturday.

Going "Khaotic" on Sunday, December 22nd works for me.  However, I must request that the game be played in the morning (9 or 10 AM latest) if I am to make it.  Believe it or not I will be having a family gathering that afternoon since I will not be home on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

 

Jiblet Jam is sacred and the name of our Thanksgiving game should never be changed, but as for the name of our Winter Holiday game should I have no opposition to changing its name from time to time and Kwanza Khaos fits as well as any other.

Durand already filled me in on Kwanza Khaos (or as I like to call it, "Krazy Kwanza Khaos", which would force us to use the horribly inappropriate acronym of "KKK".)  I told him I'd be good to go assuming there are no blizzarmeteorologicaleterological disasters impending my three hour drive south.

 

Speaking of driving south, I live in southern New Hampshire now, which is kind of strange when you consider that I was born and raised in a town about a half an hour from here.  Add to that the fact that I'm living with my sister again and it just keeps getting eerier.
