9mm Blast Silenced, Wiffleball Movie Next

The Buzzard (which is all but out of business) has learned "9mm Blast" has been pulled from production. The movie was originally expected to hit the big screen in the Summer of 2008. Now it seems the movie "Wiffleball" will take center stage. More info as we get it.

"9mm Blast" Production Halted

The Buzzard regrets to inform anyone who may still check this site that the filming of "9mm Blast" has been delayed due to legal issues. The movie is now expected to be released in the Summer of 2009 according to sources. "We were really looking forward to this coming out soon. All of us kids thought it would be bigger than the Harvey Potter books and movies," according to a local 12 year old. (photo: film crews are forced to shut down and head for the ground)

The Buzzard Interviews Hockey Legend

Yesterday Buzzard President Kevin Bixby had the honor of interviewing hockey legend Ray Getliffe. The London, Ontario resident is the oldest living winner of the Stanley Cup. Getliffe was born in 1914 and won Stanley Cups with both the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens. He also was one of Canada's top golfers, playing in two Canadian Opens in the 1930's.
The interview will be published in a future Hershey Bears game program as a part of the "Where Are They Now?" series. Getliffe only played 4 games with the Bears in 1939.He was sent down from Boston as a part of a rehab assignment for an injured knee. Getliffe also spent time in Hershey when the Bruins held their Fall camp in Central Pennsylvania in 1938. The Bears are slated to play their 5000 game Wednesday evening in Albany.

How Bad Was the Strawberry Beer?

HORRIBLE

Five days after the exchange and it is no better. The strawberry beer was horrible. There is a good chance remnants of the case will still linger when wiffleball season opens in May 2007. Beer and strawberries sounds like a bad mix from the beginning. According to newcomer Jeff, "This guy brings this crap and in return gets good beer? No wonder he didn't show up." You may recall Moran's beer Xingha also rated as the worst beer in the 2005 Exchange. "The only thing worse than this beer is Morrow's batting average," admitted Moran in an exclusive interview.
According to Engleberg, "We have decided to drop the complicated application process and concentrat on getting Moran to bring a better beer. I am leaning toward Morrow having to certify and recommend his selection for 2007."
