A sincere congratulations to Matt & Stacey who got hitched May 28th with a slew of BC'ers in attendance. Now that I've been married a full 7th months, I can give some sound advice. "Happy wife, happy life". I know the wedding was an excellent time... it's just a little blurry after the Fernet shots...

I caught up with Jordan Kemp (U.S. Air Force) recently and thought it was worth a post. Sounds like there's a chance he'll be back with us. I just pictured him and Loulet on the field at the same time and wet myself. Here's the thread:

Chris,

Hey dude, sorry for the unbelievable delay before getting back to you. Believe it or not, I had followed you guys through the email chain and via the website last year so I knew you guys had won. So congrats on that. Did you ever get to play the team from San Diego or did they never commit to a game? Anyways, I'm almost done with pilot training here in Columbus, MS. It's been a brutal year as far as training goes, but it's almost over. I think I'll be getting a pretty good assignment out of here but even that's still up in the air. I won't find out what I'm flying or where I'm going until mid June. Travis AFB will be high on the list and if we go back I'll definitely look you up.

I can't tell you how much I miss the game man. Especially playing with you, the Kim Bros., and all the rest of the BC guys. What a great group. Ever since I left I've been itching to play so you can bet that if we get sent your way I'm definitely in to play again.

One of the most frustrating things is that there are actually a lot of lax guys here at Columbus but no one has a goal or time to play. And if we did have time there's really no competition within a thousand miles so it doesn't really do us any good.

Thanks again for the note dude. Hope all goes well this season for you guys. Keep me posted on the inevitable success in the defense of the coveted NorCal championship.

A few of us on BC were talking about you the other day, and it made me realize that you may not even know that we won the NorCal championship last year. Somewhere there's a pretend championship ring for you. If you're ever back in the bay area you're welcome to play with us again.

Captain Dansky, seen here celebrating Saturday's victory, decrisbed a post game celebration that made everyone at Murder Burger jealous.

SACRAMENTO, California (AP) - BC captain H. M. S. Dansky anchored the attack for two important road tilts as BC climbed back to .500 this past weekend. Dansky showed textbook jibes on Saturday at Palo Alto, while Sunday Streets of London’s Nimitz Class defenders were no match for his veteran tacks. Sean “I’ve Got No Beef with Cattle, But Ostriches Really Ruffle My Feathers” Whitacre once again proved that he has no off button, playing through the final whistle on Sunday. Pat Lorian was his usual beady eyed self in net, allowing everyone else on the field to relax a bit. Special thanks to Tom Loulet for his work at close defense, and also for sparing Thumper the Rabbit. BC is back in action this Saturday against CLIF Bar in Sausalito.

In a pain-staking finish of what was an aggravatingly close game, The Barbary Clark lacrosse club wore down Team Clif Bar to the score of 8-7 this past Saturday, on an otherwise pleasant afternoon in Sausalito.

Relying on an efficient and opportunistic coaching staff that badgered the refs into 15 man up situations for BC, the Clarks were able to capitalize on 7 chances, and ultimately were awarded the game winning goal from lead referee Tim Collins after Box Coach Carter 'That's a terrible call and you should be ashamed of yourself' Clark, effectively made Collins ears bleed.

"I have to hand it to myself," said Coach Clark, "I really went out of my way to prove that my knowledge of lacrosse rules and the minutiae of crease violations was superior to all others." When asked how that may have actually turned the favor of the game to Clif Bar, Clark replied, "Scoreboard, asshole".

In a losing effort, stymied by players being harangued by the BC bench for uniform violations and losing game rhythm from well placed time outs called by the Clarkian coaches, Clif Bar was at a loss as to what happened. "I don't know what to say," said Clif Bar player, Clifford Cliftenstein, "we're more talented than Barbary Clark, and quite frankly we're not as much of pricks as they are, but we somehow fell apart." Asked if whether they look forward to playing Barbary Clark in the playoffs, Cliftenstein mentioned a preference for bathing in a tub broken glass and rubbing alcohol.

In related news, cloning technology has since been banned in the NATO and OPEC countries, and supreme mullah Tehlann Al-Hashareen has issued a fatwa upon Barbary Clark.

"What can I do to make this stop? Do you want to punch me? Hit me in the face so I don't have to listen to you continue. Please."
