Monarchs Hold 1st Official Bomb-fire

For some the night lasted until 5 am while others called it a night passing out on the couch early (Mark Morris). But in between it all there were plenty of beers drank, Smokies cooked, and songs sung.

The select members of the expansion Monarchs took some time off this weekend in order to relax kick back and get DRUNK! And although there was no late night Pizza 73 or Sam Wok the night had plenty of good times. One reporter began his night with a dozen Pilsner but in the morning once we stumbled out of Marks basement there was only one remaining (which I will enjoy as I write this).

The night began for many by watching the Uniform Debut video which allowed them to receive their official team issue jersey. Brad Dingle even partied in his all night long, giving it an authentic smell for tomorrows game.

Other highlights include the beer can toss. Being that we were outside the game consisted of one person finishing their beer. Upon tasting the final delicious drops of beer that player would attempt to toss their beer can into the recycle bin. If successful everyone else at the gathering would have to finish their drink. Both Russell Loga, who shall be returning from his stint with the men's soccer team in a few weeks to rejoin the mighty Monarchs, and Travis Dingle successfully tossed their cans even though they were the two furthest people away. Travis Bouchard rimmed out and other were close.

As the cases got lighter and the night colder the acoustic guitar made an appearance at the evenings festivities. Bouchard, T. Dingle, and B. Dingle took turns singing but only Bouchard had any real talent.

The guitar was a welcome addition to the party held at Mark Morris' house. Simon Chan listened closely as he dreamt of meeting personal rock and roll idol William Hung and Erin Melanson help sing to the cover tunes provided by Bouchard. On a side note you can look for Brad Dingle's new single "I've never met a WOP that doesn't like cheese" to be hitting the airwaves any day now.

The last exciting had-to-be-there moment occurred when the group decided to play 'Totally Truthful Text Messaging'. This is a new game expected to sweep the nation. Basically in a social function if you get a text you have to read it aloud. Although Amanda Sturies was reluctant to step into the childish antics instead choosing to drink and disappear away to somewhere Simon Chan and Leslie Hierath picked up her slack. Leslie announced to the party that 'I am so horny I would suck off a mule right now' while Chan replied with 'Gosh, I could go for a rice bowl right now".

Here are some pictures from Friday nights bomb-fire. Some pictures I was unable to get since they are on a certain website that I shall not deal with but the pictures could make an appearance here if they are sent to me.
