2002 Big Hawk Lake, ON

Memories from the weekend;

Attendees:

Rod (fly's in from Victoria), Leo, Mel, Deano, Daryl, Cookie, Harps, Mowbs, Freud, Scuiser, Beaups and Guy (on his sick bed)

Absent: Nob, Potsy and Halley

Voting was a landslide victory for our biggest all American asshole:

Deano - 13, Beaups - 2, Cookie - 1, , Mowbs- 1.

Considering there were only 12 people voting there is some questions about the process but that was not an issue as Scott was proud to declare himself the winner and looks forward to entertaining us next year in the land of the brave and free....don't forget Scott that you will need to subsidize your poor cousins to the north.

The fun started with a sleep over at Mowbs on Thursday. This pre AOTW event included Golf at St Georges on Friday morning. The official AOTW event started at a BBQ lunch Fri at 2 PM, at Paul 's house.

The teams for 2002:

Rancid Asshole's, Deano and Guy

Bloody Asshole's, Floyd and Rod (Rod had 2 roles, bloody asshole and demi god)

Flaming Asshole's, Harps and Leo

Violated Asshole's, Beaups and Daryl

Freaking Asshole's, Mel and Scruiser

Pissed Asshole's, Mowbs and Cookie

Each team was given a custom designed team T shirt with their team name on the back. At this point in time people began to realize that Rod had actually put a little effort into this years event!

First stop on the way to the cottage was at a small town liquor store where Rod informed the AOTW participants to procure whatever met their fancy. After filling up several shopping carts of booze the local town folk started to gather outside the liquor store to observe this new ritual of assholeoness. The final bill was $700 dollars!

1st Event; The first event took place at a go cart track near Coboconk. Harps displayed his mastery with all things that burn fuel and have 4 pieces of round rubber by finishing first in the time trials with Floyd grabbing second. Do the math! Harps has 2 Porsche's and Floyd has 2 BMW's....it was a forgone conclusion!

We got to Big Hawk Lake where we met with Cookie and commenced to load up the the boat with the massive quantities of food and booze. Nice grocery shopping Rod! After 2 overloaded trips to the cottage, the camp fire was lit, the serious drinking began and late into the night or early the next morning sausages were consumed.

Saturday was a slow start!

A massive breakfast was concocted complete with an assortment of additives to the coffee and orange juice to top off any depletion in alcohol.

Let the games begin:

2nd event; Canoe races, Pissed Asshole's take it with Mowbs showing his expertise with the paddle. 2nd place, Flaming Asshole's

3rd event; 3 hole lake Golf, Flaming Asshole's, Harps and Leo grab first place....no shit sherlock! Freaking Asshole's, Scuiser and Mel taking number 2 position.

4th event; Beer chug, Here is where the true athletes shine at their craft. Freaking Asshole's, Mel and Cruiser demonstrate an amazing ability to pour directly into the belly to finish 1st. 2nd place secured by the pissed Asshole's, Cookie and Mowbs.

5th event; pellet gun shooting. Always wise to put firearms in the hands of drunk and immature men (large boys)! The violated Asshole's, Beaups and Daryl, enter the games with an amazing shoot out to take 1st place in this event. 2nd place grabbed by Rancid Asshole's, Guy and Deano. Makes sense, the guys from the Detroit grabbing first and second place in an event that involves guns!

6th event; Basketball. Again the violated Asshole's, Beaups and Daryl take a decisive court victory after the Bloody Asshole's, Rod and Floyd choke on the tie breaking shoot out to finish second!

Time for some Lunch....after all it is 4:00PM!

7th event; Horse shoes. Pissed Asshole's, Cookie and Mowbs display olympic gold form. Freaking Asshole's, Mel and Scruiser take silver.

8th event; time for poker! Texas style. Floyd is out on the first hand by seeing Leo's bet against his whole pot! Bye Bye $50! Now that move should of been worth a few votes! The poker consumes most of the evening but in the end Cookie is the last man standing and wins the $600 for the second year in row. Beaups and Daryl surviving 2nd and 3rd gives their team, the Violated Asshole's 1st place with the pissed Asshole's, Cookie and Mowbs taking second.

Time for a little dinner, after all it is midnight! Massive New York steaks, cooked gently on a wood burning fire, served with baked potatoes, stir fried vegetables and washed down with fine vin rouge. The AOTW participants are living large! Nice work Rod! Sauna and a late night/early morning lake swim close Saturday's festivities.

Sunday, nice bloodshot eyes Rod! Time to update the website. 1.75 litres of vodka and 3 litres of Clamato juice on the deck gets the lads composing some pretty creative copy for each others personal web pages. "a hole is a hole"

The Final standings for 2002:

1st place, Violated Asshole's, Beaups and Daryl

2nd place, Pissed Asshole's, Mowbs and Cookie

3rd place, Flaming Asshole's, Harps and Leo

4th place, Freaking Asshole's, Mel and Scruiser

5th place, Bloody Asshole's, Floyd and Rod

6th place, Rancid Asshole's, Deano and Guy

Deano is crowned official asshole and we'll do it all over again in a year!

Thanks to the Demi God Rod for the excellent job on the 2002 event, to Mowbs for hosting the Asshole's at Big Hawk Lake and to Guy for sticking out the weekend with that wicked cold!
