the worlds first curling dance mix has been released! i suggest
you listen to it while driving by high schools with your windows
open to improve your image... that's what i've been doing and now
instead of throwing rocks at my car they throw dog fetuses which
don't dent as much.
speaking of pre-infantiles, the teamtomko guestbook has been filling
up with feedback on the recent pee-e-eye issue .... it's a shore
thing!
| I think
you are one sick boy. |
| thanx doc!
now is there anything you can do for this stubborn rash on my
palm? it's making it very painful to control my stones |
| Stefanie
Richard is my best friend and she is way too good to be someone
like you`s friend. |
so you
are an illiterate doctor? i guess the provincial standards vary..
anyways i know 'yu' personally and i don't think he'll be happy
to hear that... his dim sum is the best |
| I think
you should just lay off the Stefanie infactuation or someone`s
gonna have to do something. |
| uh oh..
i think that was a threat! she bravely signed the guestbook
with no email address from a government computer so i know she's
got a lot guts, or at least very large hips, or something like
that.. |
| It`s
one thing to recognize Stefanie for her acheivement but the
type of attention you`re giving out is really not cool so why
don`t you just lay off |
| my attention
may not be 'hip' or 'cool' or 'the cats meow', but it is focused..
like one of those k-tel stain removers. and as such if i were
to 'lay off', my attention might fall on upon of the many overdue
bills suffocating my mailbox which could render me penniless |
the moral of this story? 'those who live in curling houses shouldn't
throw stones'? .. no, that doesn't work.. how about 'do onto others
as..'. hey, that's what i've been doing and it hasn't worked. then
i guess the moral is 'don't give praise to someone who lives on
an island unless you can survive the merciless beatings you'll receive
for it'

it's two two tuesday today! that's right, i've got two rock bottom
priced updates to give away for today only!
first, while i was eating some chicken-covered moose lips this morning
as i do every may 21st in accordance to my religion, a large brick
came smashing though a window with a note attached. this is the
way my mail is delivered ever since the postman learned not to come
within 100 feet of me for fear that a conversation might spontaneously
erupt.. but today it was different.. the brick had the initial's
'pei' on them and the note smelled of sea salt. here then is the
note and my reactions to it
Ryan,
a buddy of mine came across your website and forwarded it over
to me. |
| The whole
site?! i find it hard to believe that your 'buddy' could forward
over my entire site.. thanks to my second it weighs over 900
cubic neck-pounds |
| I found
it a little strange that you have such a bizarre infatuation
with Stefanie, as does she. |
| my goal
is reached... she knows teamtomko exists! |
| I let
Stefanie know about your little shrine and she wasn't completed
thrilled about the idea that someone had nothing better to do
then to pay homeage to her on a regular basis. |
| on the
contrary, i have lots to do with my time.. such as milking chickens,
and creating the worlds first ever curling dance mix! (see the
second half of this update) |
| Although
it appears to be relatively harmless, it still seems to be a
bit inappropriate for you to be concentrating so much of your
time eating rats! |
| who told
you about that?!! |
| Stefanie
is a little unconfortable with the situation, being that she
or nobody else here on the Island for that matter has any idea
who you guys are. |
may i suggest
aloe vera for the discomfort? i use it very often on my knees
and eyes during the humid winter months and it does wonders
btw, someone on the island does knows teamtomko! check out the
guestbook |
| I'm
just a little curious as too why you're focusing so much of
your site on Stefanie's career. |
| well, friend,
surely there has been a day when you've been walking down the
street and been hit by a runaway swedish polar-hare ... that
is the same impact i felt when i first saw the anti-prince of
pei |
| I do
have to give you some credit though, it is a pretty creative
site, even though alot of it has nothing to do with the sport
of curling. Accept I'm a little disappointed that you found
it necessary to take a shot at my teams site |
| if you
think the site has nothing to do with curling.. wait till you
see my team! |
| Honestly
though, although there is nothing harmful posted about her,
Stefanie does feel a little uncomfortable about the whole thing.
The fact that you don't know her makes it feel like she has
a crazy stalker following her and that's not cool man! |
| granted
that i am crazy, but replace 'stalker' with 'fan' and 'not'
with 'kinda' and you'll with the truth2002 award for that statement |
So if
you don't mind toning down the infatuation or the joke or whatever
the hell the whole thing is, she'd probably feel alot better
about your website.
Your PEI pal,
J---- -----n |
| if i have
the power to make her feel better then consider it done! ..
by the way, how do you pronounce that name? |
what better way to start the day then to know that you've reached
all the way to the coast of your great country and frightened someone
famous.. now i need to fixate on someone from bc.
if your interested, here is my reply
to the email
while most people were out at their cabins for may long, drinking
and passing gas, teamtomko stayed home and looted their hou... i
mean we answered one of curlings oldest questions... how do you
get a sober curling team to dance at the bar? the solution is this
.. expect a finished version by the weekend. just in time to 'bust
a move' for saturday night

the weekend may be long, but that doesn't mean this update has
to be. teamtomko went to see star trek: version 2 and took some
bootleg pictures to share with our internet fans.
The crowds were terrifying... countless thousands of sweaty star
wars nerds dressed up as daywalker and r2d2. i can only guess where
they stored their lightsabers once the movie started...
 |
first the previews... what better way to start
then with the teamtomko quality actor, pretty boy tom cruise.
i think his new movie is called "i'm carrying a picture
alone again" .. or something very close. when asked about
his recent weight gain he replied "the script called for
a heavier man" .. right. it has nothing to do with your
breakup with kidman and all the saigon-whores you've been dating. |
 |
next the preview for the new matrix movie appeared
on the screen. I'm a huge matrix fan so there isn't much i can
say about this except PLEASE REPLACE KEANU WITH CARTER RYCROFT
... at least then when neo has to cry in the movie, we'll know
that he really is crying like a baby. |
 |
finally a very short teaser for something popped
up .. i managed to get a picture of it .. but now i wish i hadn't |
 |
yup, that's yoda lightsabering. i never knew that
he could move like that.. i wrote a little song about it..
i said lil' yoda, you just don't know
the way you fight so fast across the floor
i mean you cost so much to render onscreen
to the point where cgi makes all the dough |
i hope you are all enjoying your may long weekend.. and may the
force be with you.

in the brief time that teamtomko has been a link on curling.ca,
we have amassed more hits than all the other team links combined!
i attribute this mostly to the blue elf i freed from a bear trap
last week (which actually turned out to be a malnourished midget),
but i also feel that the magic of teamtomko, and in particular his
holiness grandmaster double t has much to do with our eSuccess...

his holiness grandmaster double t
his holiness was forged in the space between ice and granite long
ago, but came to life again while teamtomko stunk up hibbing, mn.
during our first game grandmaster double t appeared briefly as teamtomko
threw their last rock in the last end (the opposition had hammer).
having seen the apparition several times before, teamtomko simply
ignored it's presence, but the other team was caught in the headlights
of his equilibrium-altering bowel-emptying stare. they then tried
to get teamtomko to forfeit the game for having had divine intervention
on their side. instead, teamtomko vomited heavily into the air creating
a barf-screen which they used to slip unnoticed out of the area
with the w

the dominos have begun to fall as more mainstream curling websites
add teamtomko.com to their links. however it seems to be getting
harder and harder to convince them to do so. this morning the webmaster
of curling.ca
said he would add us if i could defeat him in a game of liars dice...

the game is played much like islam kickboxing, except instead of
throwing punches at your opponents head, you throw 'liars' dice
from a baby blue cup. the goal is to fit your opponent inside your
cup. The cups are made from the same material that nasa uses for
the 'fat ass-tronaut' line of clothing coming out this june, which
can stretch its surface area over 2000 times.
it took over 4 hours of play, and 3 cases of adult diapers, but
in the end the day was mine!
there are two other websites in the section that teamtomko has been
added.. and i need 545 hits to have teamtomko.com be first in the
lineup. your mission is to keep adding hits to the the teamtomko.com
link until we have a dominating lead.. godspeed!

when i was a young boy
my father always said "son, no clever arrangement of bad eggs
ever made a good omelet.. so pick your team wisely" and would
then throw boiling oil at me to keep me on my toes. as i sat in the
hospital motionless waiting for the burns to heal i would think about
what the old man said and now that i'm grown the team that i've drugged
and blackmailed to curl for me now are all grade-a and all natural.
our summer training will set us miles (or at least an arm's length)
ahead of the competition.
in addition to our goals to be the worlds physically largest curling
team, teamtomko also wants to be the number one team website on the
planet. The good people at curling.com
have acknowledged this and added teamtomko to their mens links section.
there are 13 other mens teams in that section. i've visited each of
the other website and done a small review. The good news is, if the
best curling websites are in canada, then teamtomko is looking pretty
good.
i gave each website a rating from 'open flash on skips last rock'
to 'end ender' .. your comments in the guestbook would be appreciated
in other news, my idol stefanie richard is in the news
again for her outstanding community involvement!

website info |
Team
Fox
|
their website is simple, yet revolting. i think they must
be from Australia since their website is said to be "down
under" or something.
Pros: the simple, clean page design attracts a lot of runaway
teens
Cons: too many words to read for the average runaway
Rating: open flash on skips last rock
|
Guy
Hemmings
|
guy has a salmon flavored
website, but someone forgot to remove the bones! broken links,
half-complete pages, and phrases such as "Simply by sending
a question your question to Guy by filling this form" make
reading this site equal to taking 3 hits of highschool-quality
acid.
Pros: guy is a great guy who does great things for curling in
Canada
Cons: the french are evil
Rating: draw through the house facing 3 biters |
Team
Korte
|
team cortney is all business. There are less than 30 words
on their entire site, with 50% of their content being links
to other, more exciting curling websites.
Pros: the picture of them on the main page is blurry so you
can't see their faces
Cons: they are sponsored by compaq, so i'll probably get a
virus for printing this review
Rating: hogline violation on an open draw
|
Kevin
Martin Curling

|
brilliant! utter and complete magnificence!!
Pros: the enigmatic picture of barefoot kevin, and carter
rycroft
Cons: it would be nice if they could keep the pages
to under 600KB !!
Rating: hit and roll to the pin
|
Team
McAulay
|
it seems that mcaulay
isn't paying the bills.. his site was down when i checked
Pros: i don't have to write a review
Cons: you don't get to read my review
Rating: 1 point, 1 end, and the hammer for each day the site
it down |
Team
Mcmillan
|
fairly nice looking website.. but since they are overseas
i don't feel threatened :)
Pros: they know all the words to 'i would walk 500 miles'
Cons: the site hasn't been updated for 5 months
Rating: qualified through the B side
|
Team
Menard
|
another frank-a-phone
curling team.. The site reminds me of the last time i went golfing.
i hit a shot into the trees and when i found the fall i saw
that it had hit a bunny and mutilated it. the ooze from it's
cracked skull was the same color as the navigation bar on this
website.
Pros: if they are french, then they are related to joel gagnon
Cons: their guestbook has been tainted by teamtomko
Rating: draw for one, but raised the other team for 2 |
Moffatt
Team
|
i was very disappointed
when i found out that this ISN'T the same moffatts that sing
and get acne. after getting over that i was upset again by number
of groupies they have, and how little teamtomko has.
Pros: the tall one looks like our mascot
Cons: their site sucks rotting sheeps intestine
Rating: down by 6 after 2 ends, shook after 4 ends |
Team
Robinson

|
a team from pei! i immediately
went to the links section to see if i could find the homepage
of the goddess of curling, stefanie richard. for the next hour
i was hunting, but i couldn't track her down. i was outsmarted
again, but i would expect no less from her.. well played, richard.
Pros: they are from the same province as the greatest female
curler ever
Cons: they will forever be in her shadow
Rating: i was watching the next sheet |
Team
Spiring
|
after befriending teamtomko
at the kenora spiel, team spiring has since sent several mail
bombs to our mascot. although our mascot informs us that 'big
M ain't goin out like dat! shazam and grand-am to the man in
the fan!' at which point he threw up on his legs
Pros: their website is non existent
Cons: they aren't 13 year old latino boys
Rating: official burnt the rock .. replay the website |
Team
Stoughton

|
the amount of effort poured into this website is slightly
less than the amount of rat juice our mascot drinks every
day. like many of the other top teams, they stopped updating
the site in late november ... i suspect that is when the odorless
sea-people i've been dreaming about took control of their
bodies
Pros: they spell-cehcked teh entier site
Cons: the picture of garry
will scare small children
Rating: threw the wrong color rock
|
|
Team Tomko

|
sick.. absolutely disgusting. so immature and ch... wait a second,
that is our site!
Pros: lots of funny pictures
Cons: lots of ugly pictures
Rating: end ender |
Don
Barcome Jr. Team
|
yikes! o say can you
see, that their 3-year old made the site ..
with memories of the hibbing spiel a sense of patriotism is
the primary goal of this website.. althought i have to give
them credit for having more words than all the previous websites
combined.. too bad the words don't form in to intelligible sentences
Pros: very passionate about .. something
Cons: makes your eyes bleed
Rating: caught something as i let it go |
Team
Stoeckli
|
those swiss boys love their curling.. so much so that they
have a 7 man team (including coach). their website looks like
it was auto-generated by 5 monkeys working at 5 typewriters
working for 5 minutes
Pros: the '6 guys in a box' pic in their gallery
Cons: they want to win the 2006 Olympics .. but teamtomko
already called dibbs
Rating: sweeping error

just when you think
it's time to cover your curling shoes in syrup and mail them back
to jamaica for summer storage, the whirlpool
company comes up with a new curling event.
in case you missed my review of the last whirlpool 'competition' (and
i use that term loosely), you can read it here.
a pro-am style tournament works fine in other sports, but in curling
the only thing that separates a pro curler from an amature is the
amount of beer he drinks before and during each game. teamtomko limits
alcohol consumption to under 3 drinks a game in a major event, and
under 6 in a minor. |

last night i was exercising
my eyes as i watched the kids in the hall perform from the worst possible
seat in the theater. they put on a good show, but sadly it was much
the same as the one i saw the last time they performed in wibbapeg.
but even though it was a re-run, it still made me crap my pants, then
slip off my seat while clutching at the intense burning pain in my
lungs and small intestine that comes from laughing (or praying) violently.
the un-commented pics are up on the 'other pics' section.
teamtomko took to the woods again this morning, and played 16 holes
of golf (the first two holes were so cold that technically it was
snowshoe hockey) at one of the premier golf courses in the galaxy.
we had to book 4 years in advance and agree to give them our firstborn
sons in order to have the right to whack our balls from their boxes.
if you guys have nothing to do, check out my rantings on www.projectcolossus.com
.. the other website i write updates for. we are making a game for
the pc kinda like starcraft, kinda like ultima, kinda like lemmings.
i was just reading over some of the old entries and they made me smile |
