THE OCCASIONAL ORBITER

    Hi, hello and welcome fellow Cowboys of the Space variety.  It's once 
again time for your occasional reminder.  (This edition fo the "occasional 
reminder" is back to the old format, due to tchnical difficulties)

    The Space Cowboys will be taking the floor in search of their sixth 
(6th) win in as many games this coming Tuesday, August 21st at 8 P.M. at 
Sports of All Sorts in Florence.  The "unstopaboys" will be "vying" for this 
"unprecidented" sixth (6th) consecutive victory against the Marsh "thugg e. 
thuggs".  Still, nothing is known of the opponent so if you want to know 
what kind of "ball club" they are you best come out to the ole "arena by the 
highway".
     This week may be the game that you do not want to miss.  We have some 
"spectaculous" news!  One, "Senor Smoke" will be making his first appearance 
at this week's Space Cowboys basketball contest.  That's right, the one and 
only Jose Rijo will be available for autoand photo-graphs prior to the game. 
  This is just as much of a shock to all of you as it is to us.  It appears 
that the 'boys are the biggest thing to hit the Dominican Republic since 
hurricane "Hector" in 1927.  Mr. Smoke made quite a revealing confession to 
us, he stated that only twenty (20) percent (%) of his drive for coming back 
to the major league's was because of his love for the game.  The other 
eighty (80) percent (%) was to be in town on a more permanant basis as to 
catch as many games as he could.  It looks like Jose is the most "avid" fan 
out there, even more so than Michael Brinkman.
     Doors will open at an earlier 7:32 with pregame festivites following at 
approxamtly 7:54.

                   ****  Space Cowboys Studly Poll ****

    We are still encouraging all of you to place your votes in the "First 
Annual Studliest Cowboy Poll."  Just send the name and number of who you 
think is the "studliest cowboy" to us here at occasionalorbiter@hotmail.com 
with a brief explaination, twenty-five (25) words or less, of why you chose 
who you did.  All 'boys are eligable, including all "emergency 
replacements".  All votes will be posted annonymously with select 
"explainations" accompanying them.
    Also, due to the lack of response in the first few days of voting, the 
deadline has been extended to Tuesday night at "tipoff time", 8 P.M.  So 
vote early and often, because it is up to the fans to decide who is, "The 
Studliest Cowboy".

                         **** News and Notes ****

     It has been made official.  Space Cowboy Mr. Kevin Brinkman was demoted 
to the minor lelagues.  He will continue his professional career with the 
Louisville affiliate Earth Cowboys.  Hopefully the players and staff in 
Louisville will work their magic once again and get Mr. Brinkman back to the 
"big club" as soon as possible....We here at the Occasional Orbiter would 
also like to take this time to thank Ms. Megan Williams for the knowledge on 
how to "reformat" the newsletter.  Alhough it failed miserably, we would 
still like to thank her.  Thanks Megan....Rumors have been circulating once 
again of a visit to the arena by local "icon" Hagit Limore.  We ask that if 
Ms. Limore, or Haaaaggiiitt, as most of the 'boys like to call her, shows up 
that everyone be on their best behavior and speak kindly of the Space 
Cowboys and what they mean to you....Also, Dan Resing will be returning to 
the lineup this week and the team is ecstatic.
