(yes it's an awful picture....but I wanted something 
   different :p)
As I explained in the opening of the Dec 5, 2001 recap...
sometimes I do this cause I like having fun with people who don't "get it"
sometimes I do it cause enough of you like the public shenanigans and
enough of you are personal friends with mine and I frankly get "too lazy"
to tell everyone 1500 times the same thing over and over :p...and sometimes
I do it cause the person lacked the BALLS to leave an email address to
reply to personally and it's just not my WAY to let things slide now is it ???
Anyway....most of the comments I get back are usually good ones....they
like the humor....maybe it's the pics....the HONESTY on the team (you can't
EVER doubt my honesty, passion or devotion to this team and seeing it do
well....you don't do something for 6 years without some level of passion for
it....well there was Diana...but I WAS YOUNG :p)....anyway....some times
not OFTEN...you get someone who just doesn't "GET IT" with what I/we
(since it is a team effort) do here and the idea of not only bringing you the
best damn recap we CAN....but while also giving you the "basement's eye
view" of what's going on here as well :)....and since dear Tony gave me no
other way to reply (I know he's out there...they always are :p)....here we go:




>As a Kansas City Scouts fan when you were probably in diapers, 

   (hey 72-73...right...he made a good guess *l*)

>I have mixed feelings about your site.  The game recap itself is 
>ok but your use of it as a way to lash out at people is down 
>right wrong.  

   (look out....imposing morality on someone else alert !!!)

>I went through your site completely and was amazed at how immature 
>you really sound. 

    (hmmmm....let's see....I'm RECAPPING A HOCKEY GAME...how important
is it REALLY in the scale of life....it's SUPPOSED to be fun and 
lighthearted....hence the "offbeat shenanigans" comments we've 
grown to love....I've also in my years taken the time to learn 
that maturity is knowing WHEN to be mature....and if you want to 
sit there and just politely clap along as you watch a game.....
fine.....sit me with the hooters and holler-ers ANY DAY...they 
always have more fun.....personally I also think when the time 
or moment IS right...cause in point...the recap I did of Devils 
@ Rangers on the 17th of September you know the first live event 
in NYC after the 2 large buildings fell and I saw over 3,000 
people die basically in my own back yard and heard story after
STORY AFTER story on the radio that I couldn't turn off ALL WEEK
...yeah I guess I was immature then too......right....but it's 
all perspective and I can do a 2 day rant just on this....
moving on....)

>Your grammer,  (grammar has an "A" at the end thank you :p....
but I guess that's only for the immature people who should bow 
to the 2 living KC Scouts fans STILL ALIVE...and if you're gonna 
bitch at someone ELSE'S spelling...CHECK YOUR OWN !!!!) 

>spelling and syntax are terrible I also wonder what all your 
>"friends" really think about you. It is a sin to treat players 
>who are working their asses off to be berated by someone who 
>knows nothing of what it's like to PLAY a home at home series.  


   Well....Julie....Paige....Amanda....Sara....Jean...
Lynsey too *l* I could go on...but I guess having readers 
and fans in 10 countries says enough there....and it does 
go back to "getting IT" or not...as for the local slang 
we use....how can you NOT love "more better" *l*....yes 
it sounds STUPID.....but hey it's all in FUN.....and also 
to re-iterate the point (was that a "smart" enough 
word ???) I think my REAL friends know the difference in 
Scott Mackie and the alter-ego known as "crasher".....
after all....we are trying to entertain here as well as 
recap the games...which can SUCK (go watch that Penguins 
6-0 debacle and we'll see what YOU say about an $8 million 
player who couldn't catch a venereal disease from an NYC 
crank hoe in the gutter...nonetheless a softy fired hockey 
puck in  his general direction !!!!

   As for the never playing hockey myself....gee I 
must have been walking the dog when I tore my MCL 
last February defending that 2 on 1.....yes I SUCKED
as a player and had no skating skill but I SHOWED UP 
EVERY NIGHT and NO ONE took that puck from me in the 
corners !!!....So what we only played on Sunday 
nights ?? I guess that's not "more closer enough"
....ooooff I hope he's an English teacher *l*
(and now that I think about it...I'm ALLERGIC to dogs
so I guess I couldn't have hurt myself walking one :p)

>As for your utter lack of respect for people, I'm not surprised you still live 
>with your mother.  I am an aspiring writer myself and I read your Behind 
>The Recaps to actually see how you started this site---the majority of what 
>I found has more to do with your harshness towards people who once cared
>about you than the actual recaps themselves. 

   Respect's a 2 way street.....and the people who I've gone to the wall and
BACK for out there know the truth....and I won't even go into that....and for
what it's worth I held back ALOT of things in particular about Karen and 
Lyssa that were just awful that happened to them but I left it out for RESPECT
.....yes I call Diana a rotten gimp all the time....you know what....SHE HID
BEHIND HER CONDITION EVERY MINUTE OF THE SEVEN YEARS I KNEW
HER....and realizing I feel for that shit now makes me NAUSEOUS....and yes
resentful :p....but I think the statue of limitations on bitterness is for as long as
the relationship lasted....so I got about 18 months of hate left :).....the other
people.....I still talk on the phone with Mandy at LEAST once a week....Jen...
yeah the first "recap victim" so to speak....we talk all the time, in fact I am
TRYING to get her off her ass to come to Hershey with us....and we've had
our PRIVATE apologies about all that we did to each other....Jennie was a 
psycho....and let's see how resentful YOU get being left on your own in a 
city YOU NEVER BEEN TO BEFORE......anyway...next topic *l*

   ooohhhhh *intense sarcasm* I live in my family basement in the time
of a national RECESSION because I'd rather pay my mom $250 a month in
rent then pay some asshole I don't even know's MORTGAGE to have "my own
place" which would basically be the SAME AMOUNT OF SPACE....ouch you 
got me....I should stop my life now and jump into the pile at Ground
Zero !!!....there's a difference in "living at home"....and "staying home
with mommy", but that takes maturity :)

>If this is what you have been doing for the last 6 years--then you have 
>wasted your time.  

     I think not....it's been the best experience of my life and I am grateful
for each experience (well most of them) and the REAL friends I made from it !!

>And one final note--to your current girlfriend, if you have one, be careful 
>you don't fall from grace or you'll end up being on the next page with your 
>life, as he put it "completely ruined", for all the world to see.   

    I guess he missed the Mandy part and us spitting on Sept 10th....
have I totally "ruined you" on here (well except for that wearing the Rangers
jersey to a hockey game....as a Devils fan there IS no excuse for that :p)
and as for the next GF....well I think she's been prepped and warned about
this....in fact I make EXTRA sure they know about what we do here and 
they're usually ok with it....for 18 months or so *l*

    And yes I did take his entry out of the guestbook....but unless I know
who put the entry in and it has no email addy on it....I tend to do that
...it's a habit from being a network administrator and working on my MCSE
which it seems only takes gobs of mass immaturity to get....and if this
is mature....I only pray to God I'm "immature" forever thank you !!!!

    Man they'll ban me from the state of Missouri yet *l*
  
    There ya go....15 minutes of wanna-be fame are UP !!!!

Scott (in "CRASHER" mode)
