The BBQ season kicks off

It's been a long while since the TWAHT'rs all crapped in unison on a Friday morning. And a few months of playing hockey with no after-game vittles has left many of us looking a tad anorexic. So before we faded into nothingness, a nice healthy and hearty meal was in order. I mean, whats the point of burning off 2000 calories if the result is a nice trim body? Something HAD to be done. And it was.

Our friend, and yet our enemy...the Grill. I think this is grill number 6? 7?

The usual cast of miscreants and misfits began gathering shortly after dark's supposed victory.

Pete, Bill and Geoff are impressed with TJ's disappearing hand trick

Linus becomes psychotic if waiting for more than 3 minutes to be served. John looks a little uncomfortable standing next to him and Rob begins turning raw meat into something we just cant say no to.

Linus snaps from the pressure.

"My BFF" Mike and Fred chum up.

Blury group shot...and at least Geoff is scratching up.

Geoff and Joe "smile" for the camera while Scot desperately tries and fails to present "the shocker"

Waiting for more food!

Vesa (Carl), Scot, Fred and Bill M. would not leave me alone until I took a good picture of them together.

Mike does his best impression of Sloth..."baby ruth" as Matt tries to ignore the continual Goonies references.

The Grill is the hardest worker in TWAHT hockey

John, Linus and Bill are STILL closest to the grill

Rob came back for a cameo appearance, and was the catalyst for the BBQ. Pete is wondering what the hell he is still doing here.

I think this is when Linda came out to do her striptease.

Ahhhhh...chipotle ribs being cut...

...by our in-house meat packer. Just look at that smile as he plays with his meat.

Bill and Geoff discuss meat packing

WTF are you all looking at? Vesa seems occupied and just wants that mellish!

I just KNOW Scot and Linus are laughing at the Schaefer in Bill's hands

Smoke rises: Always a good sign to get near the grill for the next serving!

I take over the grilling duties and subsequently drop 2 hot dogs, destroy a burger, burn 2 ribs and eat twice as much as I would have had I been further away.

I wish I concentrated this much on the ice.


If you look real close to the right of the screen, you can see Bill P slipping into ecstasy while others get THEIR fill too.

Scot practicing to be more ornery than Pete

RIBS!!!!

More ribs...much better looking than all of you

Vesa and Bill start the drinking contest

Mike challenges John F to a rumble



A great night for being a TWAHT.
