Regatta Celebrity Recollections

First Regatta: The 1st one was the summer of 1989. There were no quoits. We had it at Phil's dad's place in the woods of E. Rockhill township.

Second Year: We moved to poconos. We didn't have a quoit tournament but we did find quoits in the shed.

Next Few Years : are fuzzy. I think in '94 we banned clams. I believe '96 was the year of the bizarro regatta at Lapps. I know monkey and GRT won that tournament.

Champions et al. : Me and Reiff won 6. Fil and muth won 5. Pasta won one. Wiz and Steve won 2. And Wiz won with somebody else. Claudel was the worst of all time. Or maybe Opie was worse. Rookie/Rolley are the Buffalo Bills. They always choke. One year Lo and Do appeared out of the woods with a young girl named Chopper. And Randy gave Allman Brothers to Cory and that is all I remember. And I'm not even sure of this much is true.

First Regatta: Many attendees arrived by bicycle and started things off by riding their bikes into the pond. Rus singing, row boat sinking, Joel hurling, duck crossing. Sometimes its best to have these sorts of things remain "folklore." I miss the golf cart.

Rememem, Remememember: A McStiff is a unit of length (not unlike an inch, foot or yard) equal to the length of Randy's foot. I believe its origin dates back to a fuzzy day in a park in Colorado. Allman Brothers for Cory, Randy got "Pearl Harbored" and didn't spill a drop of his drink, the golf cart trips and wreck, Notre Dame fight song, the letter from the neighbor, lots of cannonball, fireworks in the fire, Troy, with helmet and oven mitts on truly looked like a special needs child and to see him flying along behind the golf cart.

The Good: After Muth misses this year, Phil, Russ, and I will be the only lifers left. I still don't know the real names of JFK Jr. and Ramone. Juan is really Dick Bic, the heir to the Bic pen fortune. The guy pissed off at us at Lapp's was Chris Lattimer. Al Quoita and Epstein's Cousin are the two best names for teams.

The Bad: Phil was fun until he got married. We used to have golf cart. Wismer knocked over an entire table full of trophies. Definitely, Claudell was the worst ever. No, the worst guest ever was the Kenyan. Wiz won with Paddles while some jerk had a bad planned pregnancy.

The Ugly: Randall streaked and sprained his ankle. Pasta almost suffered severe head trauma in a keg stand gone bad incident. Shaf remains the only person to cry. Dick is the shit according to two local bar tramps. Kerrick and Cory wore diapers.

Rule Edifications : A quoit bouncing off the pin out of the pit is a Missy Stickel. All traveling charlie's are measured in McStiffs.

First of All : This quoit tournament gives me reason to live. To win and don the green jackets is the penultimate prize for any rapidly-aging, beer-swilling athlete. I am ashamed to say that I have participated for 16 consecutive years without winning the big one.

Yep : This quoit tournament gives me reason to live. To win and don the green jackets is the penultimate prize for any rapidly-aging, beer-swilling athlete. I am ashamed to say that I have participated for 16 consecutive years without winning the big one.

And Another Thing: This quoit tournament gives me reason to live. To win and don the green jackets is the penultimate prize for any rapidly-aging, beer-swilling athlete. I am ashamed to say that I have participated for 16 consecutive years without winning the big one.
