Ding-Ding-Ding! May 22, 2002 Over the years there have been a number of great movies made depicting teams of different types, with a myriad of variables thrown in...all in an effort to provide entertainment. One true-to-life aspect of these movies, however, is how they portray the different characteristics that comprise a team - any team. My personal favorite of these movies is, "Major League", which is about a down and out professional baseball team (the Cleveland Indians) trying to rebuild their ball club, win the pennant, and restore their self-respect and dignity...all in under 2 hours lol. In watching the movie, if you focus on the team composition, you'll see it's made up of payers that bring a variety of components "to the dance", so to speak. You have speed, power, consistency, reliability, cool-headedness, "on-field" leadership, and much more. » Those characteristics are traits of ANY team, and this one is certainly no different; we are loaded with players that provide TEAM SLO with the aforementioned qualities/traits...and then some. Today we stacked the deck just a little higher by adding 3 new members to what we feel is THE most dynamic team in the MTM Gaming Zone. And now...on behalf of all of SLO, allow me to present our newest members:
&
» In keeping with tradition, every new SLO member receives a carefully packaged ensemble of gifts, each one unique in it's own right. I'll start by naming the appetizers, then work my way up to the "queen mother" of gifts in this luxurious package. Here we go: one (count them, 1) box of 16 Crayola Crayons (contents my vary due to...well, a lot of things), a set of genuine, imitation gold-plated designer ink pens (ink not included), one pair of "Chuck Taylor" tennis shoes (right shoe - size 9/left shoe - size 7½) NOTE: If you don't recognize the name brand...it's probably because you weren't born when they were in style, and a gift certificate for one free ice cream cone (ice cream sold separately) at any Dairy Queen in the Mojave Desert. Last, but certainly not least, each of these guys will receive a complete make-over from our very own, SLO_Christy, who almost graduated from beauty school last year (damn....she was so close this time). Hey, it may not sound like much, but take a look at what she did to...I mean, did for SLO_JDAK a few weeks ago. The results are...well, it's just hard to find the right words, so see for yourself! New & Improved?
» It just doesn't get any better than this. It probably should...but it doesn't. Again, to LaGGy, GT3K, and HotShoe - welcome to Team SLO, guys!!!! We're proud to have you aboard!!!
May 2, 2002 - For three gentlemen who've gallantly endured our lengthy and drawn out process of haggling (privately, of course) over whether or not they'll earn a trial with our organization...the time has come! It gives me great pleasure to announce the names of SLO's latest "test specimens" (hehe--sounds like I should have a test tube in my hand and sporting a white smock, huh?): __HotShoe __GT3K__ _LaGGyOnE_SL This isn't the easiest team to make, and that's probably a gross understatement, and now that this day has finally arrived, the aforementioned nominees are about to set sail on a new course, one which begins today, and ends May 23, 2002. Oh and guys, if you thought getting to this point was tough...hehe, after today you might have a change of heart. First, however, on behalf of TEAM SLO I'd like to extend a heartfelt "Congrats!!" to ya. » Ok enough of that crap - here are your jumpsuits, picks, shovels, helmets, and tissue (you'll need it, trust me). Oh, and do take note of the number stenciled on the right side of your jumpsuits; memorize it - you'll need to know it in order to obtain permission for eating, sleeping, relieving your bodily functions (and get toilet paper. if u don't know it...hehe, uh...yeah), walk, talk, and at times, breath. Your primary focal points for the duration of your trial (if you live, that is) will be none other than our Master Drill Instructors, SLO_SMILEY & SLO_nLuVnIt. Yeah, I know what you're thinkin', but I'm tellin you, the first one ain't "smilin" and second one doesn't know the meaning of the word, "love". » Once again, goodluck (you're gonna need it) and hopefully you three will fair better than the last 11 guys that came thru here. As for Team SLO...you know the deal; this is where we insert our earplugs to muffle the sound of grown men...well, 2.5 grown men screaming and crying. Smiles - LuV...put em thru their paces!!! We'll see ya on the 23rd (hehe maybe).
