Introduction of my draft pick #2
Fellow Lodge members. I give you David Thompsen. Aka Thompo. Aka D-Money.
Let me give you a little Sports background then I'll go into some historical facts.
36 years old Married with 2 boys living in Tucson Arizona. (While he is older than me I still own the "Elder Statesman of the Lodge" Title). Works at the University of Arizona as a Network Technician.
Attended Berkley, and yes is a die hard Cal Bears fan.
Lived in Denver and is a Denver Broncos Fan.
Also a Los Angeles Angels of Anehiem Fan.
(Actually after writing those 3 teams, Im questioning my draft pick)
Dave and I worked together at Eegees Restaurants where we met. We lived together as roommates in several Hell Holes as we were both trying to get on our feet.
Out 1st apartment was called Gilligan's Island. A pit hole in a cove of Palm trees.
Dave and I have had many adventures together. We both were best men at each others weddings. We have travelled to Vegas together several times. (Including Daves Bachelor Party 26hrs straight in Vegas..Yes Goose is the greatest Best man in history)
We did steal the Apple from Snow Whites Ride in Disneyland, actually getting out of the cart to do it. The best part was we used his little sister at the time as a decoy. The apple still sits proudly in my office.
Dave was a winning contestant on Win Ben Steins Money and yes he is smarter than a fifth grader.
We did go to California together to watch his brother on College Jeopardy. We stayed in Beverly Hills and took over the Beverly Hills hotel where his brother was staying.
He has a vast knowledge of movies and books, Sci fi and David Lynch. (D money introduced my to Twin Peaks and all Lynch after that)
Dave have visited Seattle and we spent a day driving to Twin Peaks Filming locations in North Bend.
Dave once at 3 oz of "The Man" at Dixies BBQ. To this day this is the most "Man" I have ever seen consumed at one sitting.
He is the one man I refer to as "The Fountain of Useless Knowledge".
Many stories to come. But Starting tomorrow with his 10 day contract. I give you D-Money.

He's A Bronco fan. So he's already head and shoulders above the rest of the Lodge.
But a true Bronco fan would know who fumbled a pass in the final seconds of the 1991 AFC Championship game? A game which the Broncos lost 10-7 to the Bills
Pretty sure that was Steve Sewell. A running gag while Goose and I would burn hours and hours playing Maddenball on Sega Genesis in our crappy apartment was to periodically have Steve Sewell run to the sidelines for no apparent reason and cry.
Good times.
NICE CALL D-$$
Steve is my Boy. I babysat his kid one day back in Denver... Long story.
Props on the snow white apple stealing.
the Denver and LAAAAAA Angels don't bother me...but, die-hard Cal Bears Fan just made me throw up...but beating Ben Stein gets major props from the Lodge Crue...welcome...
He didnt run to the sideline and cry from no reason. He ran to the sideline and cried because he was "Steve Sewell" and in Madden 91, he sucked (Gaston Green was the man)
Man I'd forgot about steve sewell crying on extra points...good times
It's sounding like old home week for the Goose.
D-money was my Bro for most of my early 20's
Sega Hockey and Madden 91 was the way of life. Nights at Windy City Bar and Grill, Water Gun Raids at Taco Bell, 10 Cent Burger night in college and 10 for a dollar Frozen Burrito meals. (Allowed money to be saved for booze)
Stevel Olk and his Wildebeast Fiance, Lepley, Rob, Jen, Dharma and her Camel Headed Baby,Cambria and the uber-skank Brandy, who became Violet Beauregard and turned into a massive blueberry. Travis (who still owes me $20) and the night of 1000 Coffee's.
Old home week is definately here for Goose.
Let's just hope D$$$ doesn't let you down.
