 We
start our tale with the
obligatory Frankie and Johnny shot. Two things askew - Frankie's on
the right and there appears to be a Steve-o surgically attached to Johnny.

 Big
Ron (middle) wins the award for traveling the longest distance - from AZ.
|
 In
second place is Jeff Gear. Jeff
came all the way from Idaho, just to get a little "X"!
|
 Jeff
flew all the way from Idaho. . and boy are his arms tired! He
couldn't even stay awake for this shot.
|
 Girrrrl
Power!
|
 Da
Boyz
rule!
|
|
 Oooh,
I've got a secret!
|
 Darcy
and John's secret is that they were conspiring on how to make it to the
finals the next day.
(it worked)
|
 Hey,
look,
I've got a tongue!
|
 Yeah,
but I've got man boobs!
|
 Salsa,
Tango, I know 'em all.
|
 Gaye's
legs are smooth, she must have shaved tonight.
|
 "Whooooaaaa,
half . . .way . .the-ere,
Whoooooaaaa, livin' on a
prayer!
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear. . "
|
"Cum
on feel the Noiz -
Girlz rock the Boyz!"
|
|
"You
better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime YO!"
|
 I'm
a lucky dog, I'm a lucky dog.
A lucky "Big dog" that is.
|
  Frankie
is just checking to see if "it" is still there
|
 Yeah,
he's still got it.
|
 Party
on Garth!
Party on Wayne!
Wait! Why is everybody two feet taller than me?
|
 Brent
just swallowed a bag of sweet tarts.
|
 Oh,
you two are just the cutest couple. Kent and I could just kiss you!
|
 Aaaarrrgh!
I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam, I'm Popeye the
Sailor man!
|
 That's
right, check it out. I'm a good inch and half taller than he is.
|
 Kam
Kam the Camera man. Seen here doing his balancing act.
|
   And
then there was booze!
And is was good.
Tommy
P corrupting the youth of America.
|
|
 Everyone
loves a little Girl-on-Girl action
|
 I'm
a pepper, you're a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper . .
Wouldn't you like to do a Dr. Pepper shot too!
|
 Sure
Tim, I'll do a shot with you. This is only water, right?
|
 This
is what happens after doing a shot with Tim.
|
 Whoa,
I'm having my acid flashback
|
 The
Digger Champion Shirt (modeled here by Dan
Anderson).
This
is what the crowd would be vying for the next day.
|
 The
SOB's were out in full force at the Pre-Digger
(In case you were wondering: "South
Of the Boathouse")
|
 Just
click on this picture to see the blow-up and you'll know why I've included
it.
|
|
We had a huge turnout for the 1
am picture. There's more people, we just couldn't fit them all in the
shot! Gold Stars for everybody!
|
|
|
|
|
So the stage was set.
Digger Day #42 June 27th,
2003
|
 We
had a record turnout. Over 100 to start the day and over 120
throughout!
|
 To
start things off, we had the Raising of the Digger
Flag
|
  And
then, the
mystery that is the Digger Pairings.
|
 For
the first round, last August's champions don the
Yellow Leader Jersey's.
|
  From
there on out, it's "follow the leader".
|
 Dude,
this tourney is soooo gnarly!
I'm toe-ta-lee stoked!
|
 Digger
#44's mascot - Kelsey Crane.
|
     A
couple of action shots to whet your palette (there's about 200 more where
that came from)
|
 Waaaaasssssuuuuuppp!
|
 Dude
- I'm ripped!
|
 This
beats daycare!
|
 But
mommy,
I
don't wanna be a Digger! There's too much sand that gets in my shorts!
|
|
Some Classic Poses
|
|
 Doh!
I think I tore something.
|
 Yes,
I know, Brent loves my ass.
|
 Chicks
Dig This Shit!
(click on this one, it gets even funnier)
|
 Da
Coach
|
 Red
Rover, Red Rover, let CAROL come over!
|
 Oh,
Winston, your so cute. Hey, you kiss better than Brent (and you
photograph better, too).
|
|
|
|
Things started to get heated
|
 GIVE
ME that LEADER JERSEY!
|
NOW!
|
 Thank
You. That wasn't so hard, now was it?
|
 What
would a digger be without some wrastlin'!
|
 I
feel pretty. . . . . oh so pretty!
|
 Dude
- give me the sign.
|
 Not
that sign!
|
 I
just want men to love me for my mind,
not for . . ahhh. . . my cups.
Is that so hard?
|
 I
just want men to love me for my mind, not just for my pretty
face.
|
 For
most of the day I had my child size megaphone. Tommy P brought out the
big dog.
|
 "Honey,
some folks think
the power's going to your head, so I took the batteries out of the megaphone.
You'll get them back if you're a good boy."
|
|
And after 6 rounds of regular season and 3 rounds of playoffs, we had our
finalists.
|
 For the second straight digger,
Todd Badstubner found himself in the Digger
finals.
|
 And his
partner was Chris Tardy, Digger Virgin.
|
|
 Went up
against two more digger virgins, John Courtney
|
 and
Darcy
Juarez
|
 And
so people hunkered-down to watch the finals.
|
|
   And
we saw some serious action at the net.
|
    It
was a hard fought match, with a lot of enthusiasm coming from the
sidelines. But in the end there can only be one pair of Digger
champions.
|
 Darcy and
John!
Congratulations to our first ever double-digger-virgin champions!
