From underneath a rock in Media Void

Living under a rock - It is to be a person who lives in isolation from and has limited knowledge of what is happening in the world around them. Used to describe an ignorant or obtuse person. Usually someone who lives in the basement of their mother's house.

Media Void - A ficticious city in a ficticious country which is free from all types of media and information. Where everybody in the city/state wanders aimlessly around uninformed about everything from the news, to weather, sports and politics.

The BDFL was well represented at the 2014 SEC Football Championship Game in Atlanta, Georgia

The Bulletin - Week 2 Another year with more of the same endless babble (or HDBS)

Monsters Mash Merlin with Proverbial A.W.:

Okay, we’ll go with the GHS offensive line angle. So, apparently all of the vaulted “Hogs” from the 1980 Rockets team got together for a big reunion over the weekend. (I hope they didn’t leave out Randall Hudson, but The Bulletin heard that Jim Neighbors and Greg Wilmon were turned away.) So, Jarvis and Bucket, Parks, Old Barry, Tommy Kinney, Albert (even though he only played DL at GHS) and Mukes had a party for the ages. They even left a couple of chairs open for Mark Light and Bobby Caviness. Yeah, and The Bulletin will always leave a spot open from them too. After all the Greg Green and Darrell Gutherie tributes were over and the Ed Bruce and T.K. Morton quotes were completed, a BDFL game broke out between the Sloth Monsters and the Wizards. However, it wasn’t much of a contest. Mukes smashed old Merlin like a ripe watermelon. When the dealing was finally done, it was an A.W. of epic proportions with the Three Toed Tree Dwellers hammering the Pixie Dusters, 50-14. The Bulletin is still attempting to ascertain how many ponies and chicken wings were consumed during the festivities.

Blitz Out-Duel Gamblers, 20-15:

Speaking of dealing, the Gulf Coast Gamblers started out hot this weekend in BDFL action, only to see the dice “go cold” on Sunday. The mysterious misfortune that followed for the Dixie Mafia was a loss to the Druid City Blitz, 20-15. As for Jerry Fritz, who is the only BDFL team who’s last name rhymes with his team name, the vict’ry gives him his first win of the 2015 season, after losing a heart-breaker in overtime in Week One. The highlight of this game was to see the Real Deal and Fritz shake hands afterwards and then head to Harry’s to have a cold one and supposedly talk about the good old days (before they fell in with all these Gardendale boys).

Slovaks Slip Past Kawliga & Company:

Any time the Slovaks win – and that’s not very often – there’s a party in Oak Mountain, Brookside, and Bratislava. Well, as of Wednesday morning, the festivities were still in progress. The party was still raging as the Slovak Nation, both far-and-wide, was still celebrating their 2-point vict’ry over the Black Creek Wooden Warriors. In fact, they declared the first three days of the week a national holiday to be observed with Pivo, pjochy, and ham. Adam even invited the vanquished (Jaimie in this case) to join in the celebration, which – of course – he did. “You know, I’m half Slovak,” said Hime. “So, I might as well stay for the free beer.”

Woo Crew Loses to a Girl:

In another two-point game, the Jugtown Juggernauts (back from a year in exile outside the BDFL) slipped past the Smoke Rise Woosiers in Week Two, 27-25. This game was not as close as the score would indicate. The Bulletin doesn’t really know how that is possible, but it sounds appropriate in this situation. The Woo Crew was preoccupied all weekend with Dizzy Dean details of a possible merger with Dixie Youth, and the continued use of the stars-and-bars in both logos. So, the ‘Nauts were able to sashay into Blount County (we don’t see how that’s possible, either) and pull out a close win over the Woosiers on their home field (not to be confused with Home Field package store).

Sleds Down Old Roommate by One:

There were a couple of one-point games in Week Two in the BDFL. Somewhere between the furnaces of Fairfield and the whirling rides of Fair Park, the Western Hills Wildcats and the Fairfield PowerSleds locked horns in a battle of two old roommates. “May the force be with you,” said one combatant to the other just before the coin toss and the kickoff. The game was back-and-forth all weekend with the outcome not decided until Andrew Luck’s luck ran out on Monday Night Football. The Mean Machine and it’s skipper, Jack Slovensky, emerged from the contest with a 28-27 vict’ry over the James Gang.

Cheetahs Edge Mayors in Geezer Bowl:

In another one point game that lit up social media over the weekend, the Southside Cheetahs edged the Magic City Mayors, 19-18, in a controversial contest that ultimately involved the Commissioner’s Office and WARTS, and some counselors and attorneys on at least one side. Information was also deliberately withheld from the Bulletin (which is looking into open meeting records and 1^st Amendment stuff). However, with all of the grumbling between the two teams and the “Second Hand Lions” (rent the movie, or skipe it, or Netflix it, or download it, etc.) mentality, it’s hard to determine what exactly happened. And, the two who probably know the lease are the participants – the geezers – Alan and Butch, who ultimately have to accept what the League Office and the Bulletin tell them: the game’s over and Butch won by one.

Commissioner Kicks Dogs Out the Door:

The never-ending, completely thankless task of being the BDFL Commissioner is starting to weigh on Iron Hand. However, not even those distractions could cause him to lose to the Brookside Dogs. In Week Two, the Mineral Springs Grenadiers set traps for the Mangy Mutts from Cardiff to Dogtown to Coalburg, and even parts of Republic. The result was a worn out Dogs team that couldn’t go the distance and fell short (no pun intended) to the former Grenades by five, 35-30.

Bullets Win Again:

“My thanks to the schedule-maker,” said Bullet. “I only scored 13-points and I would have lost to every other team in the BDFL in Week Two, except the one I played.” The one the Benton Bullets played were the Duncanville Armadillos. K.P.’s so-called team was beaten badly by the Black Belt Boys, 13-7. It was never close. And, fortune has smiled early in the 2015 season on the Bullets, who have started 2-0, despite only scoring 13-points in each of the first two weeks of the season. “It just proves,” said Bullet, “I’m living right.”

…in the Jr. League:

The only girl in the Jr. BDFL continues to “live right.” In an epic battle with brother Matthew in Week Two, the Benton Butterflies beat the Selma Southpaws 44-41 in a match-up that had the walls shaking at 270 3^rd Street in Benton from Thursday night until Monday Night. The Southpaws clawed to an early lead on Thursday Night with Jamaal Charles and the Denver kicker, but a late Denver “D” TD started to turn the tables. And, when the Indy kicker only scored 1-point on Monday Night that spelled doom for the Lefty (he’s actually ambidextrous).

In other action in the Junior Circuit, the Future Slovaks ripped the Renegades, 52-43 in Fultondale. In nearby Fieldstown, the Dodo Birds had just enough in the tank to beat the Lowndes County Labs, 25-20. The Arrington Brothers are still going in opposite directions, as Ethan’s Rebel City Netters remained undefeated by edging the Birmingham Barn Burners by one, and Alex’s Fishing Tackle team was tackled by the Winston County Walkers, 37-22. In one other game, the Hoover Triple Threats moved to 2-0 by dropping the Grizzly Burrs to 0-2, with a hard-fought, 39-37 vict’ry.

Note: The Bulletin urges the Little Guys to check their scores, pending release of the Jr. Scoreboard document, which in no way is affiliated with WARTS or the WARTS trademark.
