That moment when a letter falls off the marquee...

Season's Greetings from Madiq's House

Just in time for Thanksgiving... Wednesday
is BobbleDiq Night

It's more than a simple bobble head; it's "Madiq" - an action figure bringing Thanksgiving fun for
the entire family. Imagine the joy Madiq will give you: your younger brother will discover
the warmth that comes from petting Madiq just like the family dog. And you'll be in charge of holding
Madiq during the Macy's Parade...don't let him blow away! Before the sun comes up Dad will
give Madiq a playful whack before he heads off to his annual Turkey Bowl football game. But
the real magic will happen in the kitchen; watch as Madiq bastes mom's giblets and adds his signature cumin sauce
to the gravy. And your sister just home from college will squeal with delight when Madiq squirts his special whip
cream topping onto the pumpkin pie. You'll never forget the smile on Grandma's face
long after dinner when Madiq awakens her from her tryptophan-induced nap with a smack across the lips. And
everyone will howl with delight as Grandpa discovers the special brand of Polident Madiq used to glue his choppers back into
his mouth after his snooze. Pick up your BobbleDiq next Wednesday, and get ready for
some good old-fashioned holiday fun with Madiq.
Public Viewing of Madiq
Due to popular demand, a groundswell of support so to speak, there will be a public viewing of Suq Madiq,
who died last week. Visitation will begin shortly after dark on Wednesday; friends and families may view Madiq in the
shadows behind the storage shed at the rink. Look for the signs off the highway "See Madiq Here." His uncle Squeezin will
provide security for the occasion. Because of the love many had for Madiq, you will be allowed to touch Madiq and/or
take selfies with Madiq as you pass through the line...private, extended visits may be arranged through the family.
But, please, no pulling or tugging while in line. Commissioner Dick Stuck has ordered flags on the pole to be at
half-staff during the viewing.
Obituary of Suq Madiq, 35. Madiq,
Suq E., born February 2, 1981, shriveled up and died October 21, 2016. An autopsy revealed that Madiq
had suffered from numerous seizures and choking attacks during his latter adult life. He
was pre-deceased by his great grandfather Dustin, his grandfather Flaccid, and his grandmother Fond Lyn. Suq
was born in French Lick, but split time between Green Bay and Hershey as a teenager to learn the ins and
outs of the family's packing business. His February 2nd birthday had
special meaning to him as he would rise before dawn and poke his head out to predict the weather. He became a standout
football receiver in high school where he has been generally credited for inventing the 'down and out' pattern. His performance as
the "Headless Horseman" drew critics' raves and as a young middle school lad he reached the prestigious level of Master
Debater. And, no one can forget his first summer as a teenager when he interned on 'Deadliest Catch' and became
a Master Baiter on national TV. He was an avid golfer, so
honest that he always reported the extra strokes he took during the day; fellow golfers loved to play with Madiq, even when
they had to give him a few strokes..."That boy is as honest as Madiq is long," they would mutter. Swedish golf pro Hugh
Jorgen watched Madiq's growth from an early age. "His only problem was he seemed to stiffen up during a close match and grip
his shaft a little too tightly." Losing his Finnish
cousins Luubet and Tiklin in World War Schue taught him to stay close to his shrinking family unit. Surviving
him are his father Grabbin, brothers Liq and Holdin and his quadruplet sisters: Milkin, Slurpin, Spankin and
Gurglin. Also surviving is an older Syrian step-brother M'Balz Es-Hari. His family ties are highlighted by how much he
thoroughly enjoyed his Uncle Pokin's annual Christmas prank, when he would dress as Santa and come down the chimney to
the delight of the kids below. He couldn't wait to marry his
virgin high school sweetheart (Fuqan Al'Redi) who became Mrs. Fuqan Suq Madiq-Al'Redi. The
family has asked that in lieu of flowers, people just reflect upon how Madiq touched their lives and how
they touched Madiq.
Reputed terrorist exposes Madiq; says Madiq was hard to handle.

I-Zheet Mahdrours (above), aka Eric Schue, has been operating undercover
for two years at Suniland, posing as the worst goalie ever. Police say he left skid marks while fleeing his last crime;
however, authorities have picked up his scent and plan to make an arrest shortly. He is not considered
armed or dangerous; but he is reported to be bruised and battered after his latest run-in with Madiq, his former
friend-turned stiff opponent. "Madiq make me gag; dat little prick got too beeg for his britches,"
commented Mahdrours on his hardened enemy.
Madiq Whacked!!
Suspects Probed
The hockey world was stunned to learn that Madiq has died. Initial reports were confusing; one source
said Madiq had been rubbed out late in the evening, while another said he saw Madiq being whacked in the early morning hours.
Coroner Earl Davis would only say "I found Madiq lifeless at approximately 5:30 am."
Police have rounded up several Suniland hockey players as persons of interest. Ryan Burgess was
the first to be taken into custody and may face a stiff penalty after yelling to everyone within earshot: "I hated that little
prick!"
Ray Collada was tight-lipped but offered "He was a little out of line, said some things." Joe Pesci
may have also been involved. "I called Madiq Spider, and when I told that stuttering prick to dance, I may have accidentally
shot him nineteen times."
Commissioner Dick Stuck, who allegedly has a 'sore shoulder' has also been linked to Madiq's demise.
But he maintained his innocence, "How could I possibly hurt Madiq by using only my left hand?"
Veteran professional snitch Eric Schue was satisfied to hear of Madiq's death. "He really had it
coming, so to speak. I took Madiq to my son's elementary school last week for show-and-tell and he tried to embarrass me making
a face and winking at me. I'm pleased Madiq has finally been exposed to the public," said Schue from his cell in the Larry
Hadley Correctional Facility for Sexual Predators.
Funeral services were private; however, a family source said Madiq was ceremoniously circumcised
before burial by his Jewish cousin who is also a moyel, Snippin Madiq.
Bulletin: Maidig collapses at hospital after run-in with nurse!
Few details are available, but apparently a nurse spotted Madiq under Stuckey's hospital gown and started
to laugh. Sometime during the laughter Madiq rose up and began to spew at said nurse. After a short interruption
of the procedure, the doctor tried to continue the procedure. At that point Madiq collapsed; it is not known whether
efforts to resuscitate Madiq through electric paddles or mouth-to-mouth by Dr. Schue were successful. We will continue
to update you on the ups and downs of Madiq's condition. Please keep Madiq in your prayers.
America has Insatiable Appetite for Madiq
As the trial for Grabbin Madiq ended, Suq Madiq and his
brother Liq Madiq set out on an extended tour of the USA. Their tour - 'Muricans Dig 'Diqs
- has proven to be highly popular, particularly in the gay community; people are bending over backwards to host and meat one
of the 'Diqs. At each stop, the predominately-male crowds are grabbing at the 'Diqs and yelling to get their attention: "Hey
- Suq Madiq!" and "Howdy - Liq Madiq!" Older brother Suq shed some light on his younger sibling, Liq: "He was born with only one eye and he's had a
hard edge to him since he was a young teenager, spewing forth on anyone who dared to come close or open his mouth. I hope
this tour will soften Madiq a little bit." The first stop was way up in Butte, Montana, where they rested until dinner at a local hole-in-the-wall.
Yesterday, both entered Jackson Hole in Wyoming and tomorrow Suq Madiq travels to a meet-and-greet on Nob Hill
in San Francisco, while Liq moves on to Mount St. Helen and another possible eruption.

Madiq's trial ends -
It's a Hung Jury!!
All eyes, ears and Madiq were on Judge Chamberlain Haller today as he announced that the all-male jury was
hopelessly hung and unable to reach a verdict on Madiq. Defense attorney Jerry CAL-lo was ecstatic and started shaking and
Grabbin Madiq with joy.
In halting English, the foreign-born Madiq said his immediate plans were to shrivel up and rest for a few days,
or maybe to just bury his head in the sand. "I be in jail two weeks; each night warden and guards take
turn beating Madiq. I say 'Stop, Madiq is sore' - no matter...this fat Frazier keep beating Madiq...he had bad temper - never
knew when he would blow" Madiq said.
"Schue was always whipping out Madiq at night, but finally Madiq pound that ass....Madiq
now so tired, out of juice." Asked what his plans for employment were, Madiq said he would go back to his old job at
Dairy Queen: "Madiq just sling yogurt all day at happy customers."
For their part, Frazier and Schue denied having a hand in beating Madiq and offered the alibi "All we do
in our spare time is stop pucks and win games at Suniland Hockey." Judge Haller immediately jailed them for perjury and contempt
of court. "Madiq has smeared this court enough; I'm not gonna have you make a mockery of this process."
Assistant defense attorney John Gibbons said "I'm very p-p-p-p-leased to hear this v-v-v-v-verdict. I'm
glad they had their p-p-p-p-prescription glasses on so they could clearly s-s-s-s-s-see Madiq was innocent, even
if only by inches. It was a close shave for Madiq."
Assistant Prosecutor Trotter was disappointed. "I'll compare Madiq to any other: they are 'I - dentical!' I
don't know why Madiq was released."
The verdict even left Madiq scratching the crown of his head. "I thought Madiq geet shafted;
instead Madiq is free."
Trial begins; Madiq explodes
in court! The much-anticipated
trial for Grabbin Madiq began when Prosecutor Bryant Paris dramatically commanded "I call Madiq to the stand." As Madiq limped
to the stand, the bailiff swore him in by asking his name: "Grabbin Madiq." The judge asked if he had ever had an alias and
Madiq responded "No, I've always been Grabbin Madiq." Special
reporter JD Barbarino was in the courtroom and filed this special report: 'Madiq was on the stand
and started turning a violent shade of purple under hard questioning...you could see Madiq's veins bulging. Madiq
finally erupted, in this reporter's opinion, a bit prematurely. Early in the proceeding Madiq had complained that his head
was throbbing, but the judge allowed the prosecution to continue to blister Madiq until he finally blew. At last, defense
attorney CAL-lo objected: "Your honor, the prosecution can't continue to badger Madiq like that." 'Madiq
has stood firm against the allegations against him; Madiq was particularly aroused by a stirring speech from his other
defense attorney, Eric Schue, whispering to all within earshot "I think this guy can get me off." 'Madiq
was gushing when character witness Chris Perez offered "I have had the pleasure of being with Madiq in some pretty
tight situations, but we always found a way out of whatever hole we faced. I was even there the night Chris Frazier
bit Madiq in a dark alley." 'Upon leaving the courtroom,
Prosecutor Paris shouted, "I be from da hood; I like it when people be keepin it real. And, ladies and gentlemen, Madiq ain't
real!" Paris' fiancé suddenly gasped for breath but appeared quite pleased to receive mouth-to-mouth from Madiq.' Reporter
Barbarino will continue to monitor the trial of Madiq, whether long or short. In the meantime, the judge has issued a
gag order on everyone in the courtroom, particularly for "all who may have visual or oral contact with Madiq today."

Artist rendition of Assistant Prosecutor Trotter.

Trial delayed; Madiq left hanging
Judge Chamberlain Haller suspended the trial for Grabbin Madiq
this morning and ordered extra security for Madiq. It was a wild scene as onlookers pressed up against Madiq outside
the courtroom, while the throng across the street simply wanted a glimpse of Madiq. Eric Schue
was one of many who fainted during the crush: "I just wanted to rub elbows with Madiq."
Alex Shalloway reached over to greet Madiq with a handshake
and a long embrace. Chris Frazier was one of the many others who reached out for Madiq. "I could hardly believe my eyes; I
couldn't offer a positive ID of Madiq - he has much more hair and was considerably more limp than when I last saw Madiq."
Judge Haller threatened
to slap Madiq with a stiff fine if he didn't straighten up. "I'm going to take the day to look through Madiq's briefs.
For now, I'm turning Madiq over to the bailiff for handling." Then he offered a stern warning, "I'd better not hear
of any weekend abuse to Madiq!"
Famous singer Tony Bennett appeared as a supporter of Madiq and to offer a would-be alibi for Madiq by
singing his all-time hit 'I left Madiq in San Francisco.'

Madiq faces penal system today! Protestors
chant "Free Madiq!!" The much-anticipated trial
for Grabbin Madiq began today with salty exchanges between Madiq and both attorneys. Prosecutor Bryant Paris opened the
fireworks by claiming that "Madiq is a hardened criminal with a long and extended history of violent eruptions. The State
requests that Madiq be cut off and removed from society." At one point, Paris actually started shaking Madiq, who
was upright and erect, causing Madiq to foam at the mouth. Defense
attorney Jerry CAL-lo offered a sharp rebuttal for critics of Madiq, saying "Madiq has never harmed any of the yutes
at Suniland...I promise I can get Madiq off." He then concluded his remarks by pointing at Paris: "Everything that guy
just said is bullshit."

It was also learned that local Priest Eric Schue was seated in the jury, even though he had
known Madiq years earlier. "He used to come in the rectory every afternoon. But that was in the rear, I mean, the past
- I haven't seen Madiq for years," as his wife sat in the gallery whispering in agreement..."neither have I." We
will be staying on top of Madiq and let you know when he comes in front of the judge.
Suniland Shocker: Stuckey Goes to Rehab..."I'm addicted to Madiq!!" The
local sports world was stunned late Tuesday by the news that Suniland Commissioner Dick Stuck had entered a rehab facility
near his home. Sobbing uncontrollably, Stuckey just kept mumbling "I'm hopelessly addicted to Madiq. I think about Madiq
all the time. I close my eyes and all I see is Madiq." "I'm
worried that Madiq will be exposed in public during the upcoming trial of Grabbin Madiq. I spend hours thinking about
Madiq, writing about Madiq and playing with Madiq...it's so hard - I just can't take Madiq anymore." But
he added that also he blamed some current players for his problems: "I'm angry that the Paris family had Madiq blackballed
and Warren Shim-Quee taught him a new slant on life. No wonder Madiq is so bent out of shape." "Hell,
I even took Madiq to the bar last week and was so nervous when an angry bartender threatened to cut Madiq
off. That's when I knew I had to take Madiq in for some therapy." "Maybe
I can meet some nice fellows in here who can help me understand Madiq; I hope rehab is like prison so Madiq will get
plenty of attention and stiff discipline if needed. I need to stop having nightmares about Madiq. Maybe I can spend some
time in isolation - just me and Madiq."

Suniland to Dolphins: "Hands off Madiq!" In a bizarre day of intense negotiating, the Dolphins have hired Dan Campbell
as their new coach. They nearly hand-picked Madiq for the job and Suniland's Chris Frazier was not happy with the
move. " Madiq could do a better job than this clown. Madiq has been around tight ends his entire career." Sources
indicate the mood in the Dolphins front office was contentious: "All we could hear behind closed doors was the GM pounding
on his desk, yelling the name of his candidate to his secretary - 'Suq Madiq, Suq Madiq!!' " The Dolphins PR department
even had a new logo (above) designed in case they had been able to pry Madiq from Suniland's clutches. But
negotiations evidently broke down when Madiq started playing hard to get. During
his playing career, Madiq was hard to cover and as a linebacker Madiq could quickly fill any hole. But Suniland's
Ryan Burgess said "Madiq was tough to play with because Madiq was somewhat undersized." Goalie Eric
Schue remembered Madiq's attitude: "Sometimes Madiq would like to get dirty; other times Madiq would get manhandled
out there. But without a doubt it was always an exhilarating feeling playing with Madiq under the lights." Burgess also
recalled "One time my friend David Bobbitt rubbed Madiq the wrong way...he sure got an earful from Madiq that day." At
the end of the day, the Dolphins chose Campbell and Suniland kept Madiq. Madiq will be "tickled pink" and "welcomed
back by everyone who is fond of Madiq," said Chris Perez.
Madiq beaten in broad daylight; eyewitness also attacked!

Madiq is swollen after severe beating
Newcomer Suq Madiq was beaten in a brazen mid-day attack Saturday. Captain Ray Collada said "I was practicing
with Madiq when this happened. It was Eric Schue who first skated over Madiq and then started raining blows on
Madiq." Eyewitness Bill Ryan (below) was caught in the middle of the confrontation: "I've never seen
two guys argue about Madiq so much. I mean they were really beating Madiq." Several players have demanded
a suspension; Ryan Hayes mentioned "I think we've exposed Madiq as a fraud." Alfredo Gomez added "Madiq
sure has become a lightning rod, a real bone of contention, in this league." Alex Shalloway said "If I could, I'd
love to give Madiq a tongue-lashing." Responding to these calls for cutting Madiq, Commissioner
Stuck was uncontrollably shaking and moaning, " I can't stop Madiq from coming."

Good Samaritan Bill Ryan, who tried to stop the attack on Madiq
Caitlyn Schue Honored by Suniland!

Suniland Hockey has bestowed its Bravery Award to Caitlyn Schue. After receiving the
award, Ms. Schue said: "I don't know what the fuss is all about; all I did was remove Madiq."
Melee at Suniland; Madiq Is Handcuffed!!

Grabbin Madiq while cuffed
Police were called Wednesday to quell a near-riot instigated by the family of controversial
Suq Madiq. Suq's father, Grabbin Madiq and brother Holdin were led away in handcuffs while screaming at anyone who would
listen. "All they do is laugh at Madiq and mock Madiq; mock, mock, mock. I'm tired of all of the jokes about Madiq. Madiq
is so small and innocent; Madiq's head has really been bruised by all of this abuse." "During the games, all they do is hold Madiq - and nothing
is ever called. Sometimes a player like Chris Perez will skate the length of the rink tugging on Madiq. It just isn't fair!"
Perez refused to acknowledge his illegal play; when asked by reporters to comment he simply responded "Suq Madiq. Suq
Madiq." Suniland's Head trainer, Alex Shalloway,
commented: "Madiq woke up pretty sore this morning after taking on three players in the corner last night. I'm sure Madiq
will shrink from future confrontations. I love the idea of all the guys jerking Madiq around, but enough is enough." As he was slammed into the squad car, Grabbin yelled "I'm
pulling Madiq from this awful league; you won't have Madiq to slap around anymore. And I promise that you will all see
Madiq in court!"
Trade rumors - is Madiq coming or going? It's almost certain that Madiq is on the chopping block. Owner Eric Schue said "I've been working the phones
and nobody wants Madiq. Only newcomer Alfredo Gomez has shown any interest in Madiq...he wants to see Madiq in a private workout."
"I'm pretty sure he'll take Madiq if I can get him
drunk enough," added Schue. The only comment from Gomez was "I'm not sure; I'm gonna have to sleep on Madiq. I don't
want to make a trade and then have to cut Madiq." Asked why
he wanted to make a trade, Schue said "Week 1 was bad but Madiq completely fell off this week. Madiq is totally
ineffective and is unable to perform what I ask of him. I can't have Madiq continue to be the laughing stock of the league. It's
not fair to all of the other guys who have to play with Madiq."
Conschuecius say: Madiq is an embarrassment!

Suq Madiq has stirred controversy within the Legends ranks; in a recent survey, most players expressed displeasure: "Madiq
is too soft," said Ray Collada. Teammate Eric Schue chimed in immediately "...and Madiq is too small." Bad boy Nick Ash
added "I'm just gonna slap Madiq silly next week." Director Dick Stuck explained that "The problems started when
the players learned that popular Chris Kruckert had gotten shafted by Madiq at the draft."
Two
players voiced approval for Suq. Chris Perez said "I like Madiq; but others don't like it when Madiq comes hard on them."
Alex Shalloway said glumly "Madiq is ok; the problem is people just don't want to play with Madiq anymore."
Chris
Frazier summed up it all up with "Who cares about that guy? I haven't seen Madiq since the start of the season, and it's
no big deal to me."
Frazier renews old friendship tonight!
Chris Frazier will face off against an old friend Thursday night, new player Suq Madiq.
Frazier said in a recent interview: "I grew up playing with Madiq every day; he was my only friend. But now
I haven't seen Madiq in years." He then added "However, I am still close with his brother Holdin." As our conversation
concluded, Frazier was almost giddy... "I can't wait to play with Madiq again." Alex Shalloway was happy and gay, too. "It's gonna give me great pleasure to push Madiq right
into Frazier's crease."
Suniland adds Muslim to roster

Suniland has gained its first Muslim player, 32 year-old Suq Madiq. He has been placed on the team captained
by Eric Schue, who has long been known for his tolerance and hospitality to people of other faiths and views. Suq
will be playing in the Legends division; as such, in order to not hurt his feelings, we are asking all players to
refrain from drinking alcohol while at the rink on Thursday nights. Suniland has had a long history of social tolerance
towards all of its players, and we trust his Muslim tradition on abstinence will be honored. Please welcome him to Suniland:
Suq Madiq!
