THE
SUPERSTORIES CHALLENGE
BY PHILIP CARTER
In the summer of 1997
when I was 17, we were playing baseball for Butch, of course. We had a big tournament in Springdale and of
course Moe and Furf were there. The
whole team was away from their parents for three days. Just to name a few
players that were there (Dustin Brown, Wes McKinney, Roger Hill, Nick Canant,
John Tindell, Josh Dewese, JR Cook, Joe Stoute, and a few players from out of
town). So we all got to experience this
tremendous event.
We arrived in Springdale
early Friday morning and the first thing Butch said was no liquor in our
rooms. So we went and played a few
games and dominated like usual and we wanted to party and relax. So we went and found Moe and Furf and tried
to con them into buying us some beer.
Well that didn't work. So then we decided to bribe them. We told them we would go out and find them
some girls. Needless to say that
worked. We drove Furf to the store and
came back with several cases of beer and whisky.
So the next day we
went back and played a few more games and won them of course and came back to
the hotel and noticed a group of large guys walking in. Well come to find out they were there
for a hockey tournament. Well that
night we were all swimming as a team and Butch came down and seen his daughter
(Lauren) swimming with us. Well Butch
didn't like that much so he sent us to our rooms and told us not to go back
out. We all decided to congregate in
one room to party. Keep in mind the
next day was the championship. So at
about midnight or so we heard some music down by the pool. And there was the hockey players and Moe and
Furf with several girls (who were strippers).
Well we all decided to go down and party with
them. Everyone got wasted.
Then it turned ugly. Butch heard and
came down to chew us out and finally sent us back to our room were he found all
of our liquor. He wasn't too happy
about that. He told us if he seen us
back down there we wouldn't play tomorrow.
So we waited about another hour and snuck out to see if they were still
out there and were shocked to find Butch, Moe, and Furf still down there.
I will never forget
that trip because Furf bought us beer in exchange for us finding him a girl,
and I guess everything worked out for Moe and Furf.
By the way, we
finished second in the tournament.
BRAD CARTER’S
VERSION:
I was in Springdale
the night of the allegations, I did not witness the purchasing of the so-called
beverages, but I did witness Moe, Furf, and Butch at the pool with the hockey
players and the hockey players' girlfriends, two of which were strippers and
were "dancing" by the pool.
But in their defense, they only stayed at the pool to keep the boys out
of trouble.
FURF & MOE’S
VERSION:
Now that me and Moe
have viewed and have talked about this it is to our conclusion that the story
of Philip Carter is not true, although it was funny and very amusing.
The story is this:
The year of 1997 we
did go to Springdale but it was my first trip and Moe’s 2nd for him but when I
got there we got to the rooms for the 2 night trip and left Sunday. We played
games on and off for a while and the guys did both of us tried to get us to do
the unthinkable - getting the beverages but we declined.
Ok from there we
traveled with video games and for most of the night we played through the
evening till around 11:30 or 12:00 and lock down lights out!! Well It sounds
nice but when Saturday night got around there were Hockey players who were
there but sorry to say none of us were involved.
Moe says that he
doesn’t know what he is talking about and he needs to know his role and shut
up.
Ok well Butch
caught the guys by the pool and it was Carter and others who were caught by
Butch........ Now that some of the story is half/and half the rest of the
story. The next morning Butch was up waiting for a team meeting for the
day. At breakfast he was talking about
the one night in question also Joe Stoute was there as well. Well Butch was
telling the story and at that time all who knew were moe and me were so did
Butch he made a joke of the situation.
Well it looks like
some were upset on the fact that Moe and me didn’t go out with the others and
partake in their stuff. But when they asked me and moe for the beverages
we said no chance you will get it from us but other sources……. They got it from
some local college guy who was with the hockey players.
STAR
TREK JUNGLE JUICE IN THE FURF QUARTER
BY DUSTIN BROWN
I have heard that you
probably already gotten some emails about moe and furf's trip to new orleans,
but thought i would just throw in my memories. First of all the trip
started out with moe and furf getting separated from the get go. For some
reason i can't remember, furf failed to load up as we were leaving for new
orleans.
It just so happened
that my parents came down a couple of days later and I think it was at quick
charlies that they ran into furf, who was looking desperately for a ride to new
orleans, because the train had already left. Somehow or another he
hitched a ride with my parents. I know my dad loved that. I guess
he must have been on his best behavior on the way down, because not much was
said about the trip. Or maybe he wasn't, he didn't ride back with my
parents? They may have been influenced by his behavior once he got to new
orleans. Hitting bourbon street, seeing the strip clubs, and most of all
the infamous JUNGLE JUICE.
Now every night there
was something going on, it wasn't too hard to get a little booze, and moe and
furf did not miss out on any fun. In the same hotel that we were staying
in, there happened to be a star trek convention going on, as if moe and furf
were not entertainment enough. Moe and furf being strangers to no one,
furthered their connections throughout america by making friends with the
treksters and i guess inventing JUNGLE JUICE (ingredients still
unknown), whatever the hell kind of drink that is, but that was the name
specifically given to it by moe and furf as they came stumbling in after a late
night at a star trek convention.
Perhaps there may have
been some jungle love involved with gin and juice and furf just happened
to throw the two terms together and produce jungle juice. I wouldn't put
it past that party animal. Anyways, behavior after that night wasn't too
bad. I think moe and furf were trying
to get over their dehydration, with it being so hot down there and all that
jungle juice.
Also, furf's behavior
may have gotten him kicked out of the brown caravan back to pville. It should
not go unmentioned that he did not ride back with the same people he rode down
there with. Sue and Tom may not have seen furf out partying, but they
probably could tell by the smell of his breath and redness in his eyes the day
after his partying extravaganza, not to mention the rumors that were
floating around the hotel.
Apparently on the way
down he was just putting up a front that was not the real furf (a lean
mean party machine). Anyways that is my recollection of moe and furf's
big easy adventure. also i would like furf to explain how to make a
jungle juice. Anyways that is my recollection, I believe for the most
part that furf cannot deny anything. Moe, I believe, was just a bystander
who got sucked in by a deceitful buddy into going out and getting drunk. I
don't know that for sure, moe may be hiding something from us all too. We
will just have to ask him.
BRAD CARTER’S
VERSION:
If Moe and Furf can't
remember the stripper story, I do have some stories about when Moe and Furf
went with us to New Orleans for the Junior Olympics. We did go to Bourbon Street and when we were down there it was
the "Crescent City Con," which is when all the freaks dress in drag
and pretend to be vampires and all kinds of other crap. Believe me, it was interesting.
LARRY CARTER’S
VERSION:
I'll have to agree
with the other stories about New Orleans. I was there. Although,
Moe is getting a bad rap. The best I recall Moe & Furf got into
it. Moe was pretty clean. It was Furf that went to the Trekkies
room for the "Jungle Juice".
I was actually driving
the equipment truck, so I was not able to personally experience the
inspirational speeches given by Moe & Furf on the bus at Atkins. Coaches
Wilson and Faulkner related the speeches to me and described the profound
impact those speeches had on them. Hopefully they, or one of the players on the
bus that fateful night, will supply the entire story some day…..
This is how the event
was described to me:
This occurred during
the football season of Moe’s senior year in high school. After a hard-fought
loss at Atkins, Furf had finally been called out of their gym (it was
Homecoming) again by Coach Wilson, and the bus was loaded up and ready to go.
Coach Faulkner made
some comments on How PHS had the best managers anywhere and then asked Moe
& Furf to give a speech. Furf got up and gave an inspirational monologue,
telling the team that he was proud to be a part of the team and Proud to be a
Mustang, followed by a rousing cheer from the team…
At first, Moe turned
down the chance to address the team, but the chant of
DE-WAYNE……..DE-WAYNE……..DE-WAYNE
echoed throughout the
parking lot, and Moe agreed to talk. Moe stood before the team, and showed the
world that he is the master of profound one-liners and doesn’t tiddly-wink
around by wasting time with “trick words”. He got right to the point, as
always, as he uttered these legendary words:
“I’M PROUD TO BE A
SENIOR”
These are only the
first three stories submitted by the fans. We know there any many more to be
shared with the world. Do your duty and let the rest of the world know what has
made Moe & Furf the legends they are today…
PEFCA will be giving
Moe & Furf the opportunity to respond with their versions of the stories that
are sure to make this the most electrifying
