Rained out!

Vancouver, Canada, June 8, 2006. The much anticipated matchup between the Sausages and the Spectacles was postponed, and the disappointed fans have been told there will be no refunds. The game has been rescheduled to August 24 at Montgomery East.
This week upcoming, the Sausages are playing the baddest team in the league -- the Hounds -- at Strathcona centre diamond. Get ready to howl! I heard Harvey the Hound is their mascot. To the right is a picture after Craig MacTavish ripped Harvey's tongue out. That's what the Sausages are planning to do to the Hounds if they start dangling their tongues into the Sausages' dugout. "The dugout is our space, man!" said Shoe.

With no game to report on, local reporters, this one included, started a good-natured banter about possible nicknames for the nickname-less people. One of them brought out an old Jack Handey quote: "Sometimes you have to be careful when selecting a new name for yourself. For instance, let's say you have chosen the nickname "Fly Head."Normally you would think that "Fly Head" would mean a person who has beautiful swept-back features, as if flying through the air. But think again. Couldn't it also mean "having a head like a fly"? I'm afraid some people might actually think that." - Jack Handey
Phil Fly, of course, is one who indeed has a head like a fly and did not see the humour in that quote.
So, Mells & Sink, think about it, and help us come up with a good nickname for you or you BOTH might end up with the nickname "Fly Head".

Sausages Trivia
Meanwhile, here is a bit of Sausages trivia to pass the time until the next game. What British word for sausages arose during World War II because the sausages were so full of water they sometimes exploded when heated?

Answer next week.

That's all for now.
