Gnus in the News

If you were to hear that a Bad Gnus player was prominently listed in the Sacramento Bee, you'd probably learn his middle name and his plea at his arraignment. Not so fast! Kirk Giberson's son Zach has a huge spread surrounding his musical abilities and accomplishments. Kirk should be very proud. Zack is a very talented musician and has a bright future. He is also a very nice guy. The article seems to give a large amount of the credit to his parents. Zach's mom must be very musically gifted!

I would like to say that Jack Maves' parents deserve a lot of credit for his musical abilities on Guitar Hero. That boy can shred Through the Fire and Flames. Sadly, Green, Red, Blue, Green, Green is the only music I can read.

I know it has been a long time since this blog has made any noise. It's been a very busy time with little league, Anna's Birthday and the height of school work of the year. I hope to bore you with tales of the Gnus more frequently over the summer.

From what I hear, last week the Bad Gnus took it out on the poor guys on Don't Panic with something like a 24-3 beat down. That came after a big loss (18-11) to the new team in the park. The Bears. There is a bit of a discussion about The Bears. From all outside appearances they may be the boyfriends of all the girls that work at Beach Hut Deli. They had Beach Hut Deli shirts, many were very athletic while others are probably good conversationalists and most looked like they are worried about the upcoming finals at Sac State.

The wild card was their older, burly pitcher. He was bald, but had a beard and looks like he could be kept warm shirtless in the winter with his rich coat of man hair. I had somehow made it to 41 1/2 years old without hearing of the subset of the homosexual culture called Bears. I'm not going to mention him by name but one Gnu who was prominently mentioned earlier in this post told me about this group. I'm afraid to google it (nor will I google "Gay Divers", Pete), but apparently Bears refer to gay men who like their love interests to resemble the aforementioned pitcher. The pitcher was the only player to use the team name during the game, but I heard the pitcher repeatedly urge on the Bears while using such verbs as pound, slap and fondle. Needless to say, I went home after the game showered, shaved off my beard and waxed my back.

Coming up, the Gnus will have a chance to go back to back as they will play both June 1 and June 2. Make sure to stretch, boys!

Here are my shots from Gnus around the world. Pete "forgot" his Gnus shirt. I'm not buying it. Either way, we had a great time in Paris and London for Anna's 40th. Here's me with Notre Dame and Big Ben.
