Stripped
of all Dignity
Nov 19/2002--
They say there are a million stories in the naked city.
Make that
a million and one.
With five minutes to go in last-night's snoozer at the Keystone
Centre, some joker with alot of beer and no clothes on tried
adding a little spice to the evening.
Streaking
down section 12 wearing nothing but a pair of cranberry red
socks, this dude climbed over five feet of glass next to the
penalty box and onto the ice during a stoppage in play.

Perhaps
planning on taking some sort of shameless victory lap like
a British tourist did here five years ago, this polite drunk
wound up the butt of many a joke in perhaps the most embarrassing
move at a rink since Steve Smith bounced one in off Grant
Fuhr.
Somehow
unable to use his sorry tube socks to land his nine-foot dismount
cleanly, Shawn Bolack wound up landing on his head, resting
flat on his back, motionless.
It looked
serious. No one knew what to make of it. No one knew what
to say.
As a strange
silence blanketed the Keystone Centre, Wheat Kings' goal judge
Earl Cheasley had the unpleasant task of rushing to the aid
of his fallen comrade. His first move was to place a towel
over Bolack's bits. A small towel, it should be noted.
A spine
board was also immediately rushed onto the ice with a horde
of support staff, including a pair of police officers who
were roundly booed for some inexplicable reason.
After
close to five minutes of medical attention, Shawn was hoisted
onto a gurney complete with plenty of straps and a head support.
Oh, and of course the towel.
Thank
god for the towel. Then came the ultimate indignity: The fist
pump.
Not only
had Shawn just made a bigger ass of himself than Tonya Harding
ever could, he still had the presence of mind to remind the
crowd he was indeed a buffoon.
A drunk
naked, sweaty buffoon with red socks.
I mean,
who wears red socks?
Besides,
any red-blooded Canadian knows socks are a no-no if you're
going streaking.
Luber
Joins the Cast of Drew Carey
August 18-2002--Social Misfit's catcher and team manager Bruce
'Goobers' Luebke can now been seen playing the role of Lewis
on the popular television series, The Drew Carey Show. Bruce
has been contracted out to fill the role played by the popular
Ryan Stiles, as Ryan is over in Europe shooting a movie.

"We
were quite concerned when we found out that Ryan was going
to be leaving us for a few weeks" said Drew. "Then
when our talent agent came to us with the idea of using this
unknown Canadian hunk to fill his role, we immediately jumped
at the opportunity" added Drew.
While
this shy Prairie boy was at first nervous about joining the
cast, he has settled in nicely and few have noticed that Ryan
is even gone. "He is such a dead ringer for Ryan that
many of the staff often confuse him for Ryan" said Christa
Miller, who plays the role of Kate on the show. "Even
his mannerisms are so similar to Ryan that sometimes I end
up just calling him Ryan" added Drew.
Rolo
Agrees to Terms
August 14, 2002-The Social Misfit's are pleased to announce
that they have come to terms with one of the original Misfit's,
Keith 'Rolo' Richardson, for this weekend's tournament. "It
was a long, tough negotiation to get him signed" said
Bruce Luebke, manager of the Misfit's. "This acquisition
is very similar to the deal that Arizona made last year, just
before they won the World Series, when they traded for Curt
Schilling." added Bruce.
"He
was very reluctant to sign the weekend deal, as he had major
plans of heading off to Grand Beach in an effort to show off
his new Speedo" noted Bruce. "However, he was very
quick to sign on the dotted line once we informed him that
beer in the cooler was only $2" added Bruce.

Fans
can expect to see Keith (pictured above) spend a lot of time
on the mound, as he is fresh off a 6-game pitching performance
on the weekend in Winnipeg. If all else holds true, he should
be good for a few quality quotes as well. "Who knows
we may be even lucky enough to see him turn an ankle or something"
joked Earl.
Keith
was excited and quite emotional when reached on his cell phone
this afternoon when asked to comment on the signing. After
a few seconds of awkward silence, Keith was heard to say,
in a rather teary eyed voice, "I only want to hang out
with you guys".
Snickers
Bobble Head Released
June 9/2002-In an effort to attract more fans to the ballpark,
the Social Misfits today announced that they will be passing
out FREE 'Snickers' Bobble Heads to the first 200 fans at
the next home game.
"We
didn't think that we would have to reach into our promotional
bag of tricks so quickly to attract fans" said Misfits
promotions manager Trevor 'Wunderbar' Klassen. "The people
are just not coming to the ballpark as we had expected, so
we have decided to hit the public hard with our promotional
machine."
 
The Snickers
bobble head has already been met with alot of positive feed
back and anticipation. Within minutes of the press release,
collectors from all around the globe have been contacting
the office inquiring about the availability of these bobble
heads. Early indications suggest that the bobble heads may
be auctioned off on EBay for upwards of $800 each.
