It's Hot in Florida
Summer is upon us and it's hot as Sunshine in Florida. So hot in fact that senior citizens overcome by the grueling heat have been staggering into swamps where they are devoured by alligators. Sure it's tragic but they're old. It also keeps the condo prices down.
Other than the hungry, hungry alligators though, one would be hard pressed to notice any signs that the hockey season has stopped in the Sunshine State. The oranges still grow in the orchards, armadillos continue to be squashed under the tires of Econoline Vans, and the illegal immigrants continue to pick cotton in the fields. Hockey, who needs it.
Hockey in Florida might as well join LCS on that long road to nowhere. Sure they have Pavel Bure but he saw less ice than an Islamic Camel trader. Camels spit don't ya know. They is some mean sons-of-sunshiners. Once this camel bit me in the Sunshine...ummm...no, on second thought, I think it was actually a squirrel monkey, but I'll be damned if it wasn't the second biggest squirrel monkey I ever saw. Anyhow, back to topic of discussion.
Beets are good food. Packed with vitamins and nutrients, they were a favorite treat of the early American settlers that some have dubbed "Pilgrims". Now these "Pilgrims" wore black shoes with big silver buckles and dressed all in brown cause they had no dye back in those days. It was dead dried leaf brown or bust. Legend has it the Pilgrims had the first ever "cookout" and invited the Cleveland Indians, who had just won the World Series, over for grub. For dinner they served turkey, corn and red beets, lots and lots of glorious red beets. Oh yeah, I think they had pickled beets too. So for those of you keeping track at home, thats turkey, corn, and lots and lots of red and pickled beets. They ate and it was good.
The tour continues. The Russian Rocket, like any overpriced European sportscar, spends most of his time in the shop for repairs. But it's a real nice shop. The guy who owns it is named George and he has a fetish for women's lingerie. You ain't seem nothing till you've seen an obese gentleman perform an oil change in a bra and panties.
For those of you still reading, I'd like to say Sunshine off! What the sunshine in wrong with you dumb sunshiners?
So this is the end. Five years and 125 issues later the gig is up. Looking back, the time went by so quick yet it seems like an eternity has passed. I count myself lucky to have been involved with such a great group of people. I'd say it was a definite step up from the whinos and petty criminals I use to bowl with on Wednesday nights.
It's been a wild ride and each of us took a different path to get where we are today. Thru the dizzying highs and the crushing lows we each made our way, and thru it all the one constant was LCS. And though the offices of LCS Towers have grown silent, the journey is not over. For the spirit of LCS Hockey will continue to wail in the hearts and souls of those who took the time to read and believe.
Keep on Makin' it Fun.

Co-Founder LCS Hockey
