The Open division promises to be one of the best in Canada this year with the likes of: 4-time Canadian Champ, Gregzilla Hadley; some guy from the states named Zolkiewicz claiming he can throw high as well as far; Lyle "Don't eat the Chicken" Barron who, as word on the street has it, has Hadley looking over his shoulder (insert your own joke here); import Matt "I own 3 Canadian Records" Doherty, who has taken up table dancing...or lying on the floor if the table is too high; Middleton's very own Jamie Peppard (no jokes here 'cause he might kill me); former Argo O-lineman Danny Frame coming in at a svelte 485 lbs...a hunk of burnin' love; from Middle Earth, Berle Conrad. Berle is coming with his own possee and dance troupe!! Local, Kevin Robinson aka "Chevy" (nickname has something to do with how he was conceived) will be there, so will the old, gray haired, broken down excuse for a master, me. Rounding out the field will be Al "I Beat Anorexia" MacFarlane, Marc Morin flying in from Manitoba and boy will his arms be tired, the man formerly known as Adam Ogilvie, he goes by "Moose" now, and 3 new guys to the Gathering; Tony Robinson, Danny Steele, & Bill Waddell.
With this line-up and a little luck with the weather I'm expecting most every field record to fall and maybe a Canadian one in the process....did I mention Mike Zolkiewicz was coming? Hadley? Barron? Anyway, it should be a blast. I hope to have the results posted on Sunday so the rankings may change....a bit!! As a vulcan once told me, "Throw far and prosper."
