Soccer Cultist!

Written by Ed Williams


Continued from page 1

Well, before I can attempt to get him out of this cult, I have to try to understand it. I’m already sensingrepparttar attraction for Hugh. Soccer seems to have its biggest following down in South America, huge crowds there attendrepparttar 110237 games and just go bonkers over it. I’m sure Hugh likesrepparttar 110238 fact that all those people are so passionately intorepparttar 110239 sport, and he also appreciatesrepparttar 110240 fact that those South Americans like to play free and easy withrepparttar 110241 rules. I guess you would say its kinda like Ric Flair soccer. Ifrepparttar 110242 game is going badly,repparttar 110243 coach just makes up a few new rules, distractsrepparttar 110244 ref, and then gets his team back intorepparttar 110245 game. Hugh would appreciate that kind of sportsmanship, in fact, he and his sons have been going to school recently in order to learn to how to referee soccer games. That way, Hugh, Will, and Ross can not only play but they can also take bribes and skim offrepparttar 110246 coaches ofrepparttar 110247 other teams as well. This little gambit could end up being so lucrative for Hugh that he might end up retiring from his job and devoting himself full-time to pari-mutuel soccer. Only in America, you know.

Well, it’s my duty to get Hugh out of this cult - he’s starting to kick his dirty underwear aroundrepparttar 110248 house, and justrepparttar 110249 other day he spent twenty minutes telling me about how much a soccer ball should weigh. It’s just too much, and I’m puzzled as to how to handle it. So please, loyal readers, for Hugh’s sake and forrepparttar 110250 preservation ofrepparttar 110251 Brotherhood, I humbly ask you for your help. Please send Hugh an email at: hfoskey@cox.net

...tell him that you love him, and remind him that Ray and I miss him here inrepparttar 110252 Brotherhood. Perhaps, if enough expressions of love and kindness find their way to him, he’ll come to his senses, and then go with Ray and I to wherever Amazonian women hang out in order for us to beg them to come out to another soccer game...
