Gentlemen.
This will be the last weekly roundup until September 14th as the scribe will be travelling to Washington D.C. to take part in some MAGA rallies. Just kidding – I’m a staunch Libertarian and my man Robert Kennedy Junior is in talks with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for them to drop out of the race and endorse him. Anyway, I’ll also be making my now-annual visit to Gettysburg and taking in the sites of Baltimore and Philadelphia which I hear are extremely safe, especially at night.
Update: Never mind - The boozer/bozo endorsed the Sunkist Orange.
This is a bozo. His dad was shot by a mostly peaceful protester.
1) The name selected in this afternoon’s TGIF draw was Rick Powell. Although Rick was absent, he had the foresight to sign-in earlier in the week and collected a hour's wage at McDonalds. The $18 prize was somehow upgraded to $20, though no-one in the Club voted on such a measure. Disappointment again as the boys couldn't reconcile the kitty. However Gus declared that "le chaton s'équilibrera tout seul."
Rick collects a record $18.00 TGIF prize.
2) The monthly meeting on Thursday, September 5th will also be the annual memorial service for Club members who have passed away over the years. The ceremony will commence at 6:00 pm and the monthly meeting will immediately follow. Members are encouraged to assemble in the members lounge around 5:30 for a drink and storied conversation. The dress is shirt, tie, and sports coat or suit. Remember to wear your Owls Club badge and pin.
We'll be honoring our passed members September 5th.
3) He’s Off the List. Phil Donahue, the longtime daytime talk show host passed away this past Sunday at age 88. Though generally non-controversial, he set the stage for more racy daytime shows like Maury Povich and the great Jerry Springer. Speaking of Jerry Springer, unfortunately the Gerry Pringer show was cancelled this past Tuesday as it was on going to be on his birthday and there were some big things planned. But no worries, this Wednesday, August 28th the band will play on the lawn and the neighbours, friends, and family are all welcome for hot dogs and hamburgers.

4) As the Club has been having a party the last few years on the last Sunday of the NFL season, formally known as the Super Bowl, the Club will be kicking off the first Sunday of the season with a pig-inspired tailgate party. Please sign-up through the email invite that was sent, on the sign-in sheet at the members lounge, or by responding to the club’s email. It’s important to get the number of attendees to get the proper food and organized the games. Yes games! As the event is centered around a pig roast, Mike Lawlor suggested a game he learned on his wedding night called “hide the hog”. Update. It looks like pulled-pork, which Mike learned about on his wedding night as well.
5) Spotted Owls. Graham Whiteman is back at the Club after his debauchery in Europe.
A typical night for Graham on vacation.
"It's a Nice Day for a White Wedding." Apologies for the brief roundup but I'm off to see Billy Idol later this evening and then have to pack. I'll see you all in three weeks.
Errors and Omissions:
Item 1 from last week:
“However, Ashley had put in an extra $2.00 of which Garth Burns was the recipient, so he profit was scaled-back to $48.00.”
Should read:
However, Ashley had put in an extra $2.00 of which Garth Burns was the recipient, so HIS profit was scaled-back to $48.00.
Item 6 from last week:
“But as I delved further into it, I learned that Jack Russell is the frontman for the band Great White.”
Should read:
“But as I delved further into it, I learned that Jack Russell WAS the frontman for the band Great White.”
All for now.
See you at the tailgate party!
