One day an Irishman, who had been stranded on a deserted island for more than 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon. He thought to himself, \”It\’s certainly not a ship. \” As the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out the possibilities of a small boat and even a raft.

 

Suddenly there emerged from the surf a wet-suited black clad figure. Putting aside the scuba gear and the top of the wet suit, there stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde!

 

The glamorous blonde strode up to the stunned Irishman and said to him, \”How long has it been since you had a good cigar.\”

 

\”Ten years,\” replied the amazed Irishman.

 

With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wetsuit and pulled out a fresh package of cigars. He takes one, lights it, and takes a long drag. \”Faith and b\’gorrah,\” said the man, \”that is so good I\’d almost forgotten how great a smoke can be!\”

 

And how long has it been since you\’ve had a drop of good Powers Irish Whiskey?\” asked the blonde.

 

Trembling, the castaway replied, \”Ten years.\”

 

Hearing that, the blonde reaches over to her right sleeve, unzips a pocket – removes a flask and hands it to him. He opened the flask and took a long drink.

 

\”\’Tis the nectar of the Gods!\” stated the Irishman – truly fantastic\”.

 

At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked, \”And how long has it been since you played around?\”

 

With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed –

 

\”Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Don\’t tell me you\’ve got golf clubs in there,

Have a \”chuckle\” to share send it to [email protected]

Looks like Monica Oswald of Neptune just caught the world record size Fluke weighing in at 24lbs 3oz on August 17^th 2007 in Monmouth County, New York, over the Shrewsbury Rocks in about 55 feet of water.

The monster fluke was measured at 38 inches long. The fluke was caught on a Spro bucktail tipped with squid. The previous record held by a Long Islander from Montauk (Capt. Charlie Nappi) of 22lb\’s 7oz\’s on Sept. 15, 1975.

Monica\’s catch was weighed in at Scott\’s Bait and Tackle in Bradley Beach, NJ.

Supposedly she was using 65# braid and the IGFA is limited to 30# test… (This hasn\’t been confirmed yet…)

She also landed an 18+ lb weakfish last year , leads the Flounder \”Dreamboat\” contest with a 4.6 pound Flounder, has the 4th largest Blackfish (13+ lb) in that same content AND if that wasn\’t enough she supposedly came close to the state record for Northern Stargazer (7.5lbs) as well…

Men: Rider University 4, New Jersey Institute of Technology 3
Women: New Jersey Institute of Technology 6, Rider University 1

LAWRENCEVILLE—The Broncs opened the 2007 fall season with the men winning and the women losing to the New Jersey Institute of Technology Saturday afternoon in a non-conference match. \”N.J.I.T. had the better team on the women’s side,\” said head coach Ed Torres. \”On the men’s side, it was an exciting match and came down to freshman Josh Rultenberg winning his first collegiate match when the team score was tied at three all. He played very well and beat a strong player in a pressure situation. Everyone was watching his match because it was the final one of the day.\”

For the Rider (1-0) men, senior Jim Leone (Forked River, N.J./Lacey Township) won at sixth singles 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 and teamed up with sophomore Mike Straub (Abington, Pa./Abington) to win at third doubles 8-2.

\”The match went really well today,\” said Leone, one of three seniors on the 16 player roster. \”Mike and I have good chemistry and we played a strong match. On the singles side, I was down a set and 4-2 in the second and I was able to make a few adjustments and won the next 10 games to close out my match. My opponent was taking the net away early and I was able to overcome that by keeping the ball deep. I made him play on the baseline which gave me the advantage.\”

Also posting wins for the Broncs were Rultenberg (Lafayette Hill, Pa./Plymouth-Whitemarsh) at second singles (6-1, 6-4), sophomore Marc Ashed (Vineland, N.J./Vineland) at fourth singles (6-4, 6-4) and freshman Chris Esposito (Ocean Grove, N.J./Neptune) who posted a 6-0, 6-1 win at fifth singles.

\”My first college match, it was exciting to play it,\” said Rultenberg. \”You could not have written it any better having the outcome come down to my match. I knew going in that my match might be important and as everyone started watching, I knew I had to win it. I like playing with pressure on me so it worked out. I was glad that I was able to pull out the win for the team.\”

\”I was pleased with the men’s performance,\” Torres said. \”You had two rookies in the lineup and they both won and we had a strong veteran presence with the other four players. They went through a lot last season going 3-20 and all of that experience and hard work is going to start paying dividends.\”

\”We are all excited about the team this year,\” Leone added. \”A good example is the play of the freshmen today. Rultenberg and Esposito both won and with Rultenberg’s match the deciding one, he won without any drama which is big for us. I thought he stepped up in what could been a very tough spot, especially for a freshman. He held it together even though everyone was watching and won in an intense situation.\”

For the Rider (0-1) women, junior Danielle Cheong (Singapore/Republic Polytechnic) won at fifth singles 6-2, 6-2.

\”Winning the match 4-3 on the men’s side is big for us,\” Torres added. \”That was a kind of match that we may have lost 5-2 or 6-1 last year so you can see that the team is stronger for the adversity that they went through last year.\”

\”It’s exciting,\” said Leone. \”Last year everyone had to move up and play in positions that they weren’t necessary ready for on the collegiate level. This year, we are all returning and with that experience along with the new freshman in the lineup and with the other new players on the roster pushing us to get better, we are definitely stronger this season.\”

The men’s team hosts Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference rival Marist on Wednesday with the women returning to action hosting Monmouth on Thursday.

The Gloucester Lions suffered their first loss of the young season when Schalick\’s Kyle Cullen booted a 27 yard field goal with under four minutes remaining.

The Lion\’s coming off a 42 – 13 win over Pitman last week, took a 7 – 0 lead when Adam Dick plowed through from 2 yards out on the first play of the second quarter giving the Lions the lead. Gloucester threaten to take a two touchdown lead late in the second quarter when Gloucester\’s Steve Goad\’s 10 yard pass into the end zone was intercepted ending the Lions drive.

The Lion\’s offense sputtered in the second half, while the Lion\’s defense held Schalick offense scoreless throughout three quarter. In the fourth after another interception gave Schalick the ball at their own 45 yard line the defense again battled holding down the Cougar\’s attack. Faced with a third and seven from the Lion\’s own 35 yard line, Schalick\’s Cullen took a hand off around the left side and raced 35 yards to knot the game at 7 -7.

After the ensuing kickoff was mishandled the Lion\’s started a drive at their own 15 yard line with less than 6 minutes to play in the tied game. Schalick then used another interception to set-up its game winning drive and Cullen\’s field goal.

Following Cullen\’s go ahead field goal, the Lions Mike Becker returned the ensuing kick-off 40 yards down inside the Schalick 35 yard line. Only 35 yards and two minutes and fifty eight seconds separated the Lion\’s from an upset win.

The Lion\’s move the ball down to the Schalick 26 with 58 ticks remaining, but on third down a Steve Goad pass was intercepted in the end zone and Schalick took a knee to end the game.

The Lion\’s will open their home campaign on Saturday 22, at 11:00 against visiting Penns Grove. The Lion\’s 1 – 1 on the season will look to the memory of CPL Marc Ryan whose number will be retired prior to the start of the Penns Grove game to go above .500 again.
