Not Everything Is Better Left Unsaid
Remember that Chicago travel journal that our man Chiles posted last week? Well at the end of the post, he made a comment that surely left us all hanging on the edge of our seats:
"I don't remember much other than my groin felt like someone was constantly poking it with red hot stick and endured one of the more embarassing losses in my athletic career. Let's just leave it at that."
Now I assumed he was overstating it and therefore simply chose to shroud us in mystery but nonetheless, out of curiosity I decided to do a little probing via-e-mail. I've come to the conclusion that it probably wasn't overstated.
Sorry Chiles, but I think we have a responsibility here at the Grieve to deliver that hard-hitting journalism that our readers come for. It'd be grossly unethical to let this slide. Anyway, is it at all possible that someone was in fact poking your groin with a red hot stick?
Money quote from JC:
"For gift exchange they gave us hockey puck shaped scented candles in fluorescent colors."
Awesome.
Telecopier, telephone and televandelay.
Ass.

Do they fall on the ice like broads?

Chiles, what was the final count of this ass-kicking, anyway?

We were up 3-2 with about two minutes to play. We lost 5-4.
We beat them handily the day before, so you can go fuck yourself.

That actually doesn't say too much for the hockey prowess among homosexuals. This is a collection of the best 15 gay hockey players in North America and they only beat you by a goal?

We beat them 6-3 the day before. Should have been worse. Much.
Missed about three golden opportunities myself.
(It doesn't say much for those that are out. I will give you that. One of those cats was super-nice though. He scored two goals in about 30 seconds to put them up 4-3.)

Had to be Pavel, right?

Chiles, did they cry after they beat you?

Negative. It was Dave.

No. The link says they are gay, not tree-huggers who are afraid to use the death penalty.

Vandelay, that was hilarious. Good work.
Priceless tidbit from the website:
"The Friendship Cup. The biggest Gay vs. Straight hockey game ever played. Final score was 7-3; Gays take it!"

I'm guessing they kicked Ted Haggard back off the team.
