Lay of the Land, Issue 4

August 4, 2006

At the most recent Stella drink fest, Rachel put on quite the RobiSHOW. She lost nearly every round of verbal tag and wound up downing a bottle of Fireball and Amaretto, as well as several beers and a gin and tonic or two. All in a day’s work! Anne was close at hand taking detailed notes. We won’t say what she got her hands on… although it wasn’t restricted to bottles (think cute boy at bar, not illegal drugs).

Baby D (a.k.a. Granny D) has just signed on to move into a new apartment with Kenny. The apartment’s layout is somewhat unusual; it’s a revamped doctor’s office with a bathroom outside of the apartment. Other than the strange setup, the place sounds perfect for the two lovebirds—the master bedroom is soundproof. Yeeeeeehaw! (Giddy up Stella!)

Danielle isn’t the only Stella lady on the move. Amanda and Simon recently bought their first house together. But it seems that Simon “catch that!” Teather hasn’t quite gotten over Amanda’s tryst with Sandra’s main squeeze. Just one week before he and Amanda were due to move into their house, Simon was spotted out on the town with another woman who goes by the initials N.G.

In between winning games in Detroit last weekend, Robichaud put the moves on one of the University of Michigan players whose arm tattoos matched the ones on her hips. The U of M stud must have made quite the impression on Robichaud—Firebird’s Benj, who bravely volunteered to make the trek back to Ottawa in Rachel’s beater, had to put up with “Hips Don’t Lie” playing in a continuous loop.

Apparently Robichaud wasn’t the only one who needed some lovin’ in Detroit. Lonely Becker went on a manhunt of her own. “I’m used to having a guy or Eric or something like that,” she explained. Too bad her crush, Firebird’s Will McDonald, wasn’t around to keep her cozy. When Becker couldn’t find a suitable replacement for Will or Eric, she gave up and drowned her sorrows in booze. After downing only four beers in 20 minutes, Becker gave the older Stella ladies a lesson in what tea-bagging really means.

The Stella vets’ new babies are sending rookie Tanara’s mothering instincts into over-drive. She’s on the lookout for a man to father her first child. Likes: milk, milkshakes, ordering from the kids’ menu, horror movies and Gavin Thompson. Dislikes: morning showers.

Anne, Carrie and Alex are about to set sail for a week-long training camp in Vancouver before the 2006 World Juniors Ultimate Championships in Boston. Hopefully Alex’s thumb will be 100% recovered by then—she got hurt in Detroit in a rumble with Anne. Word has it that the two feisty juniors were fighting over the privilege of driving home with Frogger, who picked up with Firebird for Motown Throwdown.
