“Man of the Year”

Okay to recap the person of the year has had the most impact. Oh if you have not been reading in awhile scroll down to the story of the year and you can vote! Email me at Mst3keith@aol.com . The votes came flying in for awhile. But I have not heard from all my readers yet.

The Tucker’s World Man of the Year is Milton Ryan Peiffer. The man who became the leader of the crew after making certain Starview continued the policy of giving us French fires with the chicken tenders.

As the leader, Ryan would often organize events by calling everyone and coming up with ideas for us to do. He also broke up with his girlfriend over the summer, and despite the fact that he wanted to get back with her the very next day he didn’t bother to try for about 3 months.

He lead with passion and even networked us to various hot girls. Okay a few hot girls. He threw a kegger at his house that brought together lots of dudes. We all laughed how Ryan was carefree and single again. However, because we were happy we didn’t realize Ryan’s secret turmoil. I did not even notice he was depressed until August and most friends still did not notice. He did get some flack towards the end from Lima Beanz mostly. The time we decided to go the shore bars (usually a rockin’ good time) and ended up in going to the boardwalk in the pouring rain (despite never going there during the 30 perfect weather days of the summer)was a low point. It ended with us sitting in house we had to be out of by like 12:30.

He had confined in Jenna and various other girls including Noel (CALL HER UP!) about his secret pain. He simply could not lead anymore. At the end of the summer, he resigned and dedicated himself to his 5th year of college and winning his girlfriend back.

It took him about 14 minutes to get her back so….wasn’t all that hard. Things were going well despite not having a leader, because everyone was busy anyway. However, trouble arose when the relationship between his girlfriend and certain crew members hit a snag. Perhaps he is better off. I bet his lungs are pinker than mine.

He still hangs out with us a few times a month (not including the occasional obligatory late night cameo) and when he is not there everyone is shrugging and asking, “Where’s Ryan?”

He even started up two new bands. Aside from Fast Forward he had not been in a band since he left Big Fantastic (due to increasing fame and attention from girls). The Bogg Mummies (sp?) a big bandish type of music re-teamed him with Chris Arter and his girlfriend. TRAP reunited him with Rich Arter, but neither band ever plays anywhere that I know of.

Poor Ryan has gone through some tough times with his girlfriend but always manages to work things out. His efforts to balance time between a girl who loves him dearly and a bunch of losers guys (and one girl) will likely be debated all through 2003.


“Rumor Mill”


Well the Flyers will finish their road trip this weekend. They are playing about .500 hockey but at the same time their special teams are still among the league’s worst. They also continue to struggle to score goals, unless Jamie Storr is in net. Meanwhile they lost Simon Gagne (for awhile) and Marcus Ragnarsson got hurt and sent back to Philly. They added winger Tomi Kallio who the plucked off the waiver wire from the Bluejackets. He played for Atlanta and was just seems like some one who can add some muscle and kill penalties. He seems eager to make an impact an scored a goal already. Could he be the Donald Brasher of the 2002-03 season?

Keith Primeau netted his 9th against the Kings, by far the most emotional game of the trip. However, he recently got a lashing from Clarke that of course the media picked up on. Clarke finally has admitted he is in the market for people that can put the puck in the net. He claims there isn’t much out there right now. Obviously, you will have to give up something to get something. The underachieving captain might as well where a target on his chest.

I am not sure what Clarkie will get for good old keith, but I don’t expect Prims to be with the Flyers at the end of the month. If I know Clarke will likely get someone well over the age of 30, and teach him how to dump and chase. It doesn’t matter who we get it seems we can turn the NHL’s most finesse players into zombies who makes plays a peewee opponent could easily read.
