   We had a meeting before the season started last spring to come up with
a name for our co-rec team. What a bunch of bozos. Definitely a party
team. As far as the anticipated quality of play, well, I can only quote
the infamous Leonard Pinth Garnell, "Awful, awful, couldn't be worse!" 
  Well, we had several names in mind, most of which I don't remember, but
one of them was "Next Joke". Then, a late arrival came into the room and
asked the now-infamous question, "Where's the beer?", and we all looked
at each other and exclaimed, "That's it!". Thus was born the team of
bozos and scumbuckets, "Where's the Beer?"  We even have shirts with
that printed on the front. We just thought that name summed up our attitude
towards the game. And after going 4-8 in the spring season (which
resulted in several bets for six-packs being won and lost, since our over-
optimistic manager was anticipating a .500 season (next joke!), and several
of the more pessimistic among us (like yours truly) were anticipating a
nearly winless season), we have come back to be 4-3 thus far in the fall
season. We are looking forward to the snowshoe games before the season 
(mercifully) ends on Oct. 21. A 4-3 record just goes to show that no
matter how bad you are, it is possible for other teams to be even worse!
