I've been asked a few times what the STICKMASTERS is all about. I can't answer that, but I can give you a lil sample of part of our evening. This was a typical STICK convo...it kinda went like this...


Philby - So Dddonnie, what's for dinner?

Dddonnie - You'll find out when the noodles are done.

Steve - Are ya cooking them Al Dante? ( Al Dahn-tay)

P - That's al dEnte, man.

S - Wasn't Dante one of the 3 Musketeers?

P - No.

D - What were their names?

P - Um...Orthos, Pathos....& SATCHMO!

S - Satchmo? Really? Wasn't there a 4th guy named Dante?

P - No. Dante wrote about the Infernal.

S - So who was the 4th Musketeer?

P - D'Artangion...not Dante!

D - Orthos, Puh-puh-pathos, Satchmo & Duh-dante! I got it!

S - So what's "dente" mean, anyway?

P - I think it's something about the bite - you know - think "dental."

S - So you want a noodle that bites you back?

D - *laughs & gets up to finish making dinner*

P - Um...think of a firm bite, & you got al dente.

S - It's your hit, man.

P - What were we just talking about? *cough! cough!*

Stick masters is a combat fighting organization to my knowledge.

I looked for it online and found ZERO.

We're considering a web site, Cap. About time, if you ask me! We've been together over 11 years now, & I think it's time we went global!

The name has been used by some billiard clubs, I think...but there ain't NOBODY like us that I ever heard of...

YOu in that Philby?

I wanted to try that for a while now..

Sounds like fun!

We don't play billiards, often, but we play darts every week.

"We are MEN! We have STICKS"

"STICK IT TO ONE - STICK IT TO ALL!!!!"

I think the most memorable thing ever said at a meeting was when one of the guys was talking about his wife leaving him.

He said "If I were me I'd leave me, too!"

Damn...there oughta be a secretary or someone to record these things, cuz there's at least two lil gems of wisdom a week. I'm gonna take a video camera one night, & put it up where no one knows it's there. Of course I'd hafta edit it pretty well before I could actually share it with anyone...

I'd rather like to see some of this, Philby..

FARTS IN THE WIND

Cap, it's all just good not-so-clean fun & games. We can be pretty brutal with each other, too, by some ppl's standards, but we're always there
for a STICK brother.

Anyone coming to my area from here has an open invitation. I'd love to introduce any of ya to my STICKMASTER brothers in arms...even you ladies, if it isn't an official STICK night. (I don't think any one here would go for our rules concerning women who wanna attend meetings!) You'll be happy to know that guests don't hafta wear the official uniform, so there's no need to rush out & buy that daishiki...

The funniest part is that, while we've been playing darts for over 11 years, we all pretty much suck at it...I wonder why...

It's a tap out type of deal, right Philby?

During the beginning, you choose an adversary and then later you 2 go at it until someone submits, right?

YUM Omaplata time...if he drops the stick that is.. lol

Do you have to wear any armor/protection>?

You're thinking of the cudgel fighting, I think...No, we just drink beer, throw darts, tell stories & eat dinner & fart & stuff, like real men.

I do like the cudgel stuff, but haven't done any of that in many a long moon, 'bout as long as since I fenced...3 decades? Yeah...I'd wanna wear armor if I were doing that.
