So it's been a
busy end of '05 and there were so many news worthy items. We'll
continue
with the annual FUBAR reunion in good old Daytona Beach, FL. In
attendance were the staples, Dave and Mark as well as the toxic twins - Brian
and Steve. The event started off with a twist as FUBAR Upper
Management Dave and Mark ran into Brian and Steve who were frolicking in the
ocean?... After toweling each other off, the toxic twins took some time to pose for a
few pictures... Oh and and I almost forgot -
"Hand-job" ate a jellyfish!

MMMM, tastes like chicken...
slimy, smelly stingy chicken! |
After the shenanigans
at the beach, The toxic twins disappeared for a "shower" and the
Cyber Kid, Armadillo and Co. made way for food - Rendezvous was scheduled
for the Deck at 2100 hours... Arriving at the deck, the usual suspects
were abound and Steve, feeling a bit frisky said that he "really"
missed Mark...
|
Mark had no comment
except to order another Beam and Coke and just , "Go with the
flow." "Man, you just never know about these
two?" Armadillo said to the paparazzi who met him outside
the bar later that evening with a barrage of flash bulbs. The Cyber Kid couldn't agree more
and mentioned that he got "a few bills"
for this tasty photo during some of the mayhem later in the evening
(see right.) |

So after a
night of many BEvERages and dragging out late, the FUBARS
agreed to meet for the first annual alumni softball tournament (which
was NOT widely advertised.) And so at the extremely early time of 1000, the
boys showed up to a field of 4 determined players - Ourselves. Hanging
around for a little over 30 minutes produced approximately 18
"able" bodied players - three of which were the grounds keepers
but hey, we were playing a game in any event. The FUBARS played against some fraternity
(insert three random Greek letters here) and was of course victorious by a
score of 10-8 which was attributed directly to the outstanding batting of
Brian "The Caveman" and the quick, always amazing, recruiting of The
Cyber Kid - picking up three outstanding additions (One of them 70+ years
old!) "Hey I can spot a winner every time" the Cyber
Kid was quoted as saying. However recruitment was nit without it's
downside as one of our recruited payers, who shall remain
nameless (Nicole), Steve took a fancy too and thus gave up shortstop to
"go play in the outfield and give the other guys some time at short." -
Gotcha good buddy - loud and clear. So, despite
Steve "Blind as a bat" Ham-bone in centerfield watching the balls
fly by, the boys (and couple girls) came out on top - as usual.
It was a good time and most fun
playing with some of the old team again - Although everyone kept
ribbing the Cyber Kid yelling, "That's a hit!" Bunch of
punks, I went 2 for 4 with 2 Runs and 3 RBI's - see if I pad their stats
ever again. What's that Brian? How did you do? Oh let me
see, by my calculations, you were... oh OK, here it is - You sucked and you owe us each
$20!

So the FUBAR WAR MACHINE
powered
down for the afternoon and again set a Rendezvous time of 2100 hours at the
Deck. Another night of camaraderie and machismo resulted in of course
many more stories for the Cyber Kid memoirs, but most memorable of them is
the enigma that is Steve "Hand-Job" (Toxic Twin 2 of 2.)
Steve (self-proclaimed - "Cool 1") lived up to his infamous name
with just 48
hours in state and out of the gate like a stallion ready to go and the
Philly's were everywhere (not
that we're implying anything but here's the photos.) - Let's take a tally
shall we -
By my count that put him at 0 for 8! Maybe he should owe us
money instead of Brian? However, The Cyber Kid and Armadillo didn't venture out
with the boys Saturday night, but meeting for dinner at a gourmet restaurant (and by
"gourmet," we mean The Outback - No rules,
Just Right) we saw him dressed here (see right) and figured he'd was
sure to score?
Yup, the Hand-job was sure to nab a
few more vic .... 'er I mean unsuspect... No; Ladies. That's
right, ladies. Perfectly innocent, "girl next door"
type ladies... Just someone to hold hands with, walks on the
beach, that sort of thing.
When
asked about the attire, Mark "The Armadillo" had this to say
- "Can you say "Holy floral
trousers BATMAN!" And you definitely can't wear a shirt
like that up
north, wind will tear right through that thing and give you cold teats
if you know what I'm saying. No, that my friend is "Gen-U-Ine"
Southern gear... for the ladies of course!?"
Anyway, after much harassment
and a meal they even paid for, Mark and the Cyber Kid were ushered
(and by "ushered" we mean shoved) out
the door by the Toxic Twins, told they had a great time, BLAH, BLAH,
BLAH... Oh, and if I remember correctly told, "Don't call us,
we'll call you."
So,
that's it, end of the story. Haven't spoken to either of them since
... <tear> ...
I miss them so much... :o(
Anyway... |

A side note, remember
"The Kiss" photo you could buy from the gift shop of The Caveman and Armadillo back
in Reunion '01? Well, we got an update for you folks. That's
right, another FNC exclusive brought to you here. Now, keep in mind
that due to contractual obligations, we can
only show you a portion of the footage (just a frame or two prior as we did in the past)
but it's still just as incriminating -

In 2001, Mark said "We
have each other..." |
In 2006 - "You had me at
Hello!" (8X10 glossy's will still cost ya $29.99 in the gift
shop) |
Isn't love great? Two people
just so into each other that the rest of the world seems to just float away
into nothingness around them?...<PUKE> Sorry, off the chain
there for a moment. OK, that's the FUBAR Reunion story, so now
what? You want more? <Cheers> I say I can't hear
you... Do you want more? <Cheers> Well then, get on back
to the FHQ NEWS slacker and read that, or the NEWS over at the Cyber Kids
DARTH M section even (There's lots of goodies to digest there as well...
maybe?)
