27th Annual Men's Weekend (2014)
Boy Jr tops the list this year by...
26th Annual Men's Weekend (2013)
This year by consensus was a tie between 2 actual rookies! British
Mike and Chris both put on enough of a show on one or more night to keep the
crew laughing! It should be noted that alcohol consumption can be an a
reasonable indicator relating to the awarding of rookie points!
25th Silver Anniversary Men's Weekend (2012)
No runaway winner in this year's voting. Larry, a charter member was a
no-show and received points, Sheldon left camp after one night for love reasons,
Nate locked himself out of his truck, Marty made a daytime visit but could not
be convinced to spend the night, Britist Ben for allowing bottle rockets to
explode in his hand... more than once, Daves for being Daves, and of course Tall
Paul for being... well... Paul!
24th Annual Men's Weekend (2011)
It was called a tie this year, and returned to the "Dumber than
Dave" title in honor of the 2 Dave's. Pleau allowed his boat motor to
leave the boat requiring them to get a tow back in from the middle of Jerico
Lake, and Haag for 2 scooter incidents within a 5 minute period. He went
over the front on the first one and flat on his back with the second
incident. That was basically the equivalent of being thown off your weed
wacker!!!
23rd Annual Men's Weekend (2010)
Jeff was the clear winner for hopping in the Montero, starting the vehicle,
and "falling asleep" before putting it in gear to go! Nice to
know he had a relaxing time on Men's Weekend!
22nd Annual Men's Weekend (2009)
I say Ben is the winner for running the Montero into a tree. Like
having no brakes is an excuse. Anyhow, we need a new radiator for the
Montero. Actually I think it has needed one for a couple of years.
21st Annual Men's Weekend (2008)
Men's Weekend had 2 main contenders. Peter [Boy Jr] may have topped the
voting by peeing out the 'door' of his tent. The close runner up at this
point is George III [George Jr Jr] who formed a real bond with the riding lawn
mower and slept next to it in front of the old camp.
Paul kept his Rookie Emeritus status alive and well by dropping a cell phone
in the lake at George's and jumped in after it. He may as well of left it on the bottom
of Great East Lake, because it had the functionality of a rock afterwards!!!
20th Annual Men's Weekend (2007)
No clear winner. Natron got some minor points for driving over the
unused fire pit and getting a flat in the Montero [all hail the Montero.]
Bryan went back to a
hollow log before the can had exploded and nearly got exploded himself.
George and Boy George left for much of Saturday to go see a newborn baby in
Manchester. Do you think that the baby remembers? NO WAY! They
could have driven down to Berlin and looked at some baby there. They all
look the same... I think George and Boy George should be
Co-Winners.
19th Annual Men's Weekend (2006)
Ignarammo [formerly Rammo, formerly, formerly Rainbow, formerly, formerly,
formerly Rambo] is the early favorite for his ice-fishing / swimming incident at
Akers Pond in Errol during Men's Winter [Spring] Overnight. Rambo's
ice-fishing incident is still a contender, although Adam [Boy George] is
certainly in the running for walking into flying firewood and sustaining a gash
on his head. Natron is a DISTANT runner-up for allegedly [no picture to
prove it] throwing the firewood. I think Adam is the clear
winner.
There was high hopes for Matt Berlind to be the 3rd,
2nd generation winner in his rookie year, but he disappointed us all.
18th Annual Men's Weekend (2005)
Congratulations to our second, second generation attendee, and this year's
rookie award winner Matt ! Jake, you must be so proud! It was an
easy win for Matt, who just needed to slice his finger open while
whittling! A Marsh was bound to be a winner!
Update... Note that Matt is the second, second
generation attendee to win the coveted Rookie Award in his rookie year.
These second generation folk certainly didn't fall far from the hole they
crawled out of!
17th Annual Men's Weekend (2004)
After a year of Wednesday night gatherings to fill in between Men's Weekends,
there are no clear leaders in the points race. Gosh, the suspense is
killing me! No clear winner, any suggestions? Maybe all of us for
doing this 17 times in a row!
16th Annual Men's Weekend (2003)
At a recent Wednesday night
"bowling" get-together at George's, the consensus was that Mikey was
the Rookie for 2003 for his no-show at this years festivities. At an even
MORE recent Men's Night Out gathering the idea was posed that the Milan Police
Officer could be the 2003 rookie recipient. The two most obvious point
gathering reasons are that she waited for a male state trooper to accompany her
and she did not arrest anyone.
15th Annual Men's Weekend (2002)
Mikey was in the running for his long Wednesday night, however he may have
nullified that by coming up with the expression "Shouting at your
shoes." Sager was in the running for making Saturday night a long
night. Kevin tried to enter the competition this year with his Saturday
night handling of the potato cannon. Garry was in the running for drooling
uncontrollably and diarrhea of the mouth at Muriel's Restaurant. Kevin,
Mikey, and Jean-Michel were in the running for riding bicycles for endless miles
FOR FUN. Brent was in the running for admitting that he knew Rambo and
trying to wake him while sleeping next to the campfire.
So there were many in the running, but no clear runaway winner this year.
14th Annual Men's Weekend (2001)
If Paul was in the running..... He would have already won! Two
snowmobiles in Lovell Lake would surely make him the clear choice, even months
ahead of the date!
A new award is being created especially for Paul. Possible names are:
"The Dumber than Dave Award" or "The Dumber than Garry is Short
Award." He certainly deserves his own award!
Tom is the apparent winner. Last name unknown. Friend of
Kevin. Showed up Saturday night, nursed a water all evening, slept in his
car and drove away in the morning! He did stay for a meal, so we do count
him as being there!
Update... At the October
dinner out (4 attended to make a quorum!) it was voted that Sheldon should be
the rookie. Sheldon's nomination stemmed from his lack of a spare key to
his motorcycle!
13th Annual Men's Weekend (2000)
GroupW consensus based on comments posted to the web site and other GroupW
communication is that it was probably
Garry for his Wakefield gun incident and forgetting the key to his gun lock on
Men's Weekend! Someone be sure to bring a stool to the awards ceremony!
12th Annual Men's Weekend (1999)
Adam was declared winner for trying to light George on fire (up his pant leg
as you may recall!) and for sleeping around the campfire like his old man.
Adam surely didn't fall far from the family tree, bush,
pile of debris!
11th Annual Men's Weekend (1998)
Haag was the clear choice for blowing up his potato cannon!
Note that Nate
was actually injured during the near catastrophe. Yes he did bleed!
10th Annual Men's Weekend (1997)
Who knows and who can possibly remember... (Probably Tall Paul all previous
years!)
