Our annual pilgrimage to Ocean City this year produced some memorable times . . . . . . .

Hurricane Isadore wasn't bad enough to stop the K-8 contingent.

Thursday, September 26th:
We were all to meet at Holly's for breakfast on the way down. All showed but Money who said he was stuck on 95. ICE began to have rumblings in his stomach. The first thing he did in Holly's was use stall #1 to drop a deuce. We all ordered breakfast except ICE who was still on the toilet. Jim decided to take a menu in and slide it under the stall. ICE gave Jim his order and came out 10 minutes later when his food arrived. ICE calls Money on his cell while at breakfast. While he his talking on the phone Jim his feeding him breakfast with a fork. We arrive at a very damp Beach Club. There we wait for Mr. Money. After a hour we hear ICE talking to Money who is near the Beach Club so we tee off. Money has a Bloody waiting for him. ICE and Roy go broke buying double Bloodys for $10.00 each. ICE was so shocked he had to run to the men's room. Played in the rain the last 11 holes. After golf checked into the room and dried out. Went to Nick's for dinner in which it was unanimous, we all had full rack rib dinners. Went to the bar and watched Louisville beat Florida State. Money was a BIG WINNER! Toast, Rick, Hammer and Scott show up. Toast and Hammer won the mini foosball tournament. While at Nick's we were blessed with the presence of Mary Ann and Joanne. Some moved onto Secreats while others went back to study the next day's course. Visitors came to visit Slim with camera in hand. Toast Boy had his zipper down the whole night. Pictures speak a thousand words. About 2:15 AM ICE decided to cough up a hoof and onion loaf. While in the bathroom Scott brings Mary Ann and Joanne in while Money is sleeping. Ice then gets in his bed and a game of Truth or Dare began with the young ladies. I remind you while Money was sleeping, Mary Ann asked Ice to drop his boxers. Ice said he would if they would drop their pants. Well from what I've been told someone had a gray thong while the other went el comando. As for Ice I understand the women didn't see anything as there was so much hair to look through.

Friday, September 27th:
Breakfast at the General's, cream chip beef omlettes for everyone but Joe. Golf at Eagles Landing which began the Quest for the Mustard Jacket. Before teeing off there was a moment of silence for one of our Brother K-8's Jeff Scott. 80% who teed off duffed their shots.  Slim/Shady/Chance took a 4 stroke lead after the first day. Dave J and Eddie took a boat load of money from Kenny. Cork bar after golf for some while others went to play liars poker. When we get back to the room Hop Singh/Phil receives some roses from his lady friend. Of all the K-8 road trips no one has ever received flowers, though some have received other things. Dayton's chicken was bought with the money Kenny lost. Some went to the track while others tried to rest up for the night ahead. Dave Peed and ICE hits 3 or 4 races and is red hot. Kenny yells,"Come On You Big Black Horse". Right there Joe tells Kenny out loud he shouldn't have yelled that while certain people were there. No fights, but I did have Kenny's back. Onto Fagers were Mary Ann, Joanne and Sheila were there in addition to The Mattress Girls. Poor Dave Peed,he was the odd man out at Fagers or was he?????? Rumor has it that Peed was a dancing Homer. He danced with women that averaged 280 lbs. He proceeded to walk one to her hotel room when she fell and broke her foot. That didn't stop her from wanting to go to the sub shop. After her food digested she was taken to the hospital where it was diagnoised she had a broken foot. Some were at Seacreats where there were some New Zealander men there that seemed strange. As I walked past them one had an odor of broccolli. Joe has breakfast with Mary Ann, Joanne and Sheila at Denny's. Second night in a row that some K-8's returned at 4:00 AM. 

Saturday, September 28th:
Breakfast at the General's where cream chip beef omlettes were in order. Rum Pointe is the scene for the conclusion of The Mustard. Before tee off there was a putt off from the prior day. While Ice was lining up short putt, Joe mentions red head ala The Mattress Girl. He was no good and proceeded to miss the putt. At the first tee box the starter greets the K-8's and wonder how many double dicks were in this group. Another beautiful day with Factor being a Non Factor shooting a 104 while Dennis shoots a 82 while winning the Jacket. Brenda, the cart girl with her son's name tatooed on her ankle, was a hoot. She asked to see Ice's chest and proceeded to run her fingers through it. She was so taken by Ice's chest that she told the other women in the clubhouse and they wanted to see it. Next time, she told Ice and Kenny that she was moving and asked if they could help her move mattresses. Went back to the room for college football and liars poker. Dinner was at the Ocean Club where everyone was present but Dave J, Mongo and Eddie. Again the infamous Trudy was there badgering Jim and telling us about the owner, Lenny Berger and his trophy girlfriend/wife. Played Keno with no luck. Had the presentation of the Mustard Jacket outside with Mary Ann, Joanne, Robin and Sheila present. Went back to the bar where more Keno was played and Candance proceeded to show Toast Boy her artillery. The group went to Fagers where Joe got dumped for a younger guy.  Mongo was a dancing fool at Fagers. Hammer found another................ Dave J's sister and Molly the cop were there dancing the night away. Dave had to be a good boy. Dave J's sister had to run her fingers through Ice's chest. They drove back Dave J, Ice, Mongo, Phil, Kenny, Hammer, Scott and themselves in an SUV which had dog cages in the back. Hammer had his head squished up against one the the cages and had fence marks embedded in his head. As everyone settled in for their last night, it's about 2:15 when Timex and Joe were on his balcony, noticed 2 women going to walk the beach. Scott said he thought it was strange seeing 2 women going for a walk at 2 in the morning. I looked and I noticed it was Mary Ann and Joanne and I yelled to them. They said they had to pee. We told them to come up and use our facilities.  That is basically it. Sorry it seemed like a boring time. I'm sure plenty was missed and some things were purposely left out. You all know who you are and what I'm talking about.
