The Cyber Kid Moves HQ & "Little Dude" Makes MLB Debut! |
|
Alex (aka "Little Dude") takes a
massive cut! |
|
Good Golly Miss Molly it's 2013!
Well, it's been about 10 months since the last DARTH M update!
Apologies (to those who actually care) for the delay but it's been a
very hectic and exciting time for the Cyber Kid, Family and FUBAR HQ as
a whole! There's so much new news, we'll do our best here at the
FNC to fill in the blanks?
So, when we last left our fearless leader DARTH M (aka "The Cyber Kid")
he had just returned from a trip to Central America and Little Dude had
just finished up his second baseball season! So hitting July,
here's where it all went...
So July came and went and Little Due looking for a change of pace took
up Tennis lessons to see how that would pan out? Well, like a fish
to water (and much like his baseball!) Little Dude showed some promise
for his first experience with the sport. Just three weeks into the
lessons and he was already beginning to get a handle on backhand volleys
and serving.. However, with school rapidly approaching, Tennis was
shelved (temporarily?) for the upcoming school year.
So with the school year well entrenched, The Cyber
Kid flying around the US, it wasn't long before the 2012 DCC Fan Days
was upon us! With a three day pass, The Cyber Kid decided to
divide and conquer again by bringing Little Dude on one day and Bunny
Bean the next! Of course the kids were (not) more than willing to
get dressed up for the event and "make" new friends?!...

So that took us through September and of course the big news
was the relocation of the now Infamous FUBARHQ...
Throughout the end of August through Sept. the Cyber Kid and
members of the FUBAR Upper Management team began a hunt for
a new, larger, location for the FUBARHQ. Having spent
12 years in the former location, the FNC was, quite frankly,
out of space! So with the prospects of a new locale,
the Cyber Kid began the burden of painstakingly cataloging,
itemizing and packing the FUBARhives and FUBAR artifacts.
When mid-October was upon us, the FUBAR's were fully moved
and the FUBAR Moving Team had all ready began the task of
"redesigning" the new, living, breathing FUBAR HeadQuarters!
Now, through all THAT hoopla of moving, we here at the FNC
cannot of course forget about Jessie's (aka Bunny Bean)
soccer season that took place throughout all the turmoil!
Despite all the school events, relocation of all of her
worldly possessions, dinner's, DCC Fan Days,, Jess was able
to still manage to find time to devote to her Eagles Soccer
Club (ESC)! All that hard work and dedication paid off
as well as Jess was able to secure a spot as starting and
primary goalie! The ESC unfortunately finished near
the bottom of the standings but, with her countless saves,
Jess did her best to prevent teams from scoring against
their faltering defense! When asked about her team and play,
she only replied; "I did my best! That's all I
could do!" We here at the FNC will continue to watch
this space for the newest member of the FUBAR's Future
Players To Watch Club!
With that task complete, FUBAR Hall of Famer A.J. "BigFoot"
B. and his lovely wife FUBAR Super Fan Carrie along with
offspring and various other FUBAR elite, were over at the
new FHQ for Turkey Day November 2013! Also know as the
Thanksgiving Refugee Dinner! |

So thus, 2012 would round out nicely with an impromptu visit with some of
the Hooters Calendar girls (pics below), a visit from 'Ole St. Nick
and finally a quiet celebration at the New Year's Eve celebration at
the new FHQ!
NOW, 2013 came screaming in as the Audit/Tax division of FUBARHQ dusted
off the abacus' and began the painstaking process of counting the
beans! That of course would continue through May but we'll take
a stop off in Feb. where the Cyber Kid along with Little Dude and
Bunny Bean attended the 2013 DCC Sci-Fi Expo! (pics below) Once
again decked out for the occasion, the FUBAR Future Hall Of Famers
were eager to meet and great their fans!

and DCC Sci-Fi Expo 2013! KEEP GOING - MORE NEWS BELOW! Including
Little Dude's MLB DEBUT!
So finally with all the Sci-Fi Expo shenanigans behind us,
the Little Dude, Bunny Bean and the Cyber Kid decided to
take an impromptu two-day whirlwind trip to Daytona Beach,
FL to bvisit with FUBAR Hall of Famer Mark Avocado and then
drive across to Tampa, FL for a surpirse visit w/ Grandma!
Let's just say that the logisitics of traveling w/ two kids
(DURING Spring Break AND Bike Week) made for an intense and
hectic 48 hours. All that said, after one additional
car rental, an unplanned departure airport drive AND an
unscheduled hotel, the Cyber Kid and entourage safely
returned to Central TX for some much needed R&R from their
R&R!?... Highlights included having the kids see both
my "former" and current "offices", Mr. Dunderbak's Blue-Max,
and of course puppies! - Lots and Lots of puppies!!!

AND now, Finally, the news you've waited for! Back in April,
Little dude, was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to
go to an MLB Player's Association Alumni Baseball Clinic
(FREE) While at the clinic he was provided
training by former MLB players in 9 different stations
including, Pitching, In fielding (x2), Out fielding (x2),
Bunting, Batting, Catching & Base running. The
highlight was the Pitching station where former World Series
Champion Pitcher Claude "Gomer" Osteen ('65 Dodgers &
All-Star '67, '70' & '73) pulled Alex for some one on one
and said he looked - "Perfect!" All in all a great day
and an even better segue into Little Dude's birthday Month
of May where he MADE his major league debut!
With
a sell-out crowd of 46,228 (including 20 of his closest
friends and family), Alex "Little Dude" Mater was presented
with his Major League Debut at the Texas Rangers Ballpark in
Arlington, TX. As the feature for the Dr. Pepper
"Steal A Base" promotion, Alex was given 35 seconds to run
from Left Field, Pick Up Third Base and Race back through
the ribbon! The Video is available on the FUBARHQ's
new VIMEO Channel!
Little Dude was successful in his endeavor having completed
the nearly 500 foot run in 34 seconds! The official
time on the Jumbotron was stopped with :01 seconds remaining
as the future FUBAR Hall of Famer crossed the ribbon to the
roar of tens of thousands of cheering fans! For his
effort he was awarded a Dr. Pepper T-Shirt AND an official
Texas Rangers Third Base (complete with post) to take home!
Some
pics are posted below and all can be seen at better
resolution on Little Dude's 9th Album!... |

Well that
brings you up to speed on all the "MAJOR" Darth M and entourage
happenings! Of course, next quarter, we'll update you on FUBAR
Future Hall of Famer's continued baseball progress as he is now
(after succeeding in tryouts) playing for a select organization
named "The Spartans!" With nearly two months of Spring
Training, the Little FUBARian has secured himself a lead-off batting
slot and a place in middle infield playing primarily
short-stop/second base and rotating to right center!
In
addition to Little Dude's baseball success, Bunny Bean has also
begun her SOFTBALL career for the EAGLES. The Eagles are off
to a promising start as they finished their first game tied and Jess
went 2/2 w/ a Run! Of course both of the FUBAR heir's are
receiving quality coaching as FUBAR CEO/Founder Dave "Darth" M is
providing one on one training with Little Dude and is the Primary
Hitting Coach for the Eagles! As always the FUBAR News
Corporation will bring you ALL the exciting details as these seasons
progress through early summer!

Well

OH, and just in case you still don't have this
memorized (YET)!?...
Since I left you last I was entertaining a
major coffee habit but two years ago I was able
(in about 4 days actually) to go from 5-6 cups a day to one!
While I do still drink 5-6 cups of "coffee" a day only one
of them now actually is caffeinated! So, with this I
felt I needed to update my four cups list! -
There are four cups of coffee consumed in
the morning. Each cup is named/labeled by the
emotional state that it facilitates in the drinker.
The four cups are labeled as follows -
1. :oI - The "Up" Cup (Decaf/Optional
1/2 Caff.); to wake
you... as the smooth aroma entices you and the silky taste
prepares you for -
2. :o) - The "Happy" Cup (The
FULL One w/ Caffeine!); as the neurons
start to fire and the body kicks to life, shifting into
"high" gear, a sense of well-being overcomes...
3. :o[ - The "Angry" Cup;
(Decaf) "well-being" is
cast aside as the desire to choke the living daylights out
of a random stranger for all the problems in the world
ensues... plus you no longer get the rush from the caffeine
so that pretty much bums you out...
4. :o\ - The "Motivation" Cup
(Decaf/Optional 1/2 Caff. cup);
after realizing that violence isn't (necessarily) the answer
and the fact that you've been sitting at the coffee shop for
a few hours, this cup "snaps" you back to the reality that
you actually have "stuff" to do and so, with this refill...
you leave... and either get some stuff done (if you went
with the Caf) or crash on the couch (with the Decaf option!)
There you have it... Now go grab a
cup of mud and indulge a bit... |
