Don't count on me. Won't be ready. Too many 'vacations' scheduled at the 'Hotel de Hospital' always located at the sunny seaside of concrete at a big smelly city located near you.

My friend johnrbrown said you are looking for sign ups.
I'd like to join the Zapper if there are still spots available.

Okay, Eugene! Who's the wiseguy that leaked the Secret Location of this year's Zapper??? Hmmmm....must have been Islanderfan! I KNEW I should have kept that a secret!!!

Players are going to be flown in from all over the globe...as soon as we hire some pilots...and maybe get some planes...Ahem! The real hardship is for the Canadian and American players. Loss of government funding is forcing us to walk! (God, it's gonna be cold on those icecaps!)

Ahem again!

Anyway, the line-up so far cosists of 16 players. A dozen or so more invitatioins have been emailed orPM'd out!

We have:

Asoka ( --- - ---) (2946)
Iamachessstudent (Josh - USA) (2875) ***
Katagamsky ( --- - ---) (2870)
Pcmvr ( Peter - Netherlands) (2844) **
Jpost ( Jan - Netherlands) (2817) **
Cliff ( Cliff - Canada) (2680) ***
Krambambuli ( --- - ---) (2487)
Johnrbrown (John Brown - Canada) (2415) **
Redketchuplover ( --- - USA) (2271) ***
Cmulligan ( Chris - USA) (2264) **
Johnb (John White - Canada) (2247) ***
Roadrunner ( --- - Belgium) (2228) **
Hgrayson (Henry - Canada) (2188)
Pwillows (Pete - Australia) (2063) **
Islanderfan (Brian - USA) (1942) ***
Tmitchell (Tom - USA) (1919)

(*'s beside each players names indicate how many Zapper's they've participated in.)

Now if I can just find those damn snowshoes, I can start packing for the trip. Boy, is George gonna be mad when he finds out he's leading a team of huskies...

*sigh*

Things are slow in Gunky Park....some people are just now getting into the swing of things! Brian has been seen bringing a Christmas tree for his team to celebrate the holidays around.S...hould we tell him it's a bit late? Or is Gary Kasparov hiding in the tree? Keep 'Em Checkmated certainly coud use some help!

This is the homeland reporter, filling in for YOUR UNBIASED REPORTER, in covering the preperation fo the 2012 Zapper Memoril Tournament here at the NorthAm HQ in Toronto!!

Well, George is getting ready to lead a faithful (?) team of husiies across the frozen tundra to get the 2012 Canadian and American players to Gunky Park in Greenland. This requires the poor little guy to put in a lot of work!

He's up at the crack of dawn, and begins his day by tossing on his Toronto Maple Leaf sweater and checking out the route;

Image

...while waiting for his team of sleigh dogs to arrive, he does have fun for a few hi-jinks, though....

Image

...But when his sleih team arrives, it seems that they haven't been fully briefed aas to their jobs...

Image

..."Why Me, Lord?"...

Image

...But after a long day, he still found time to beat Islanderfan, in a friendly game!

Don't you just hate people that keep repeting themselves. Kinda like they are so boring that they can't follow their own conversation. Let alone remember it. lol And Brian I'm not refering to you. Geez, don't be such a narcissist.
