The expansion Hoover Island Stamps have returned to the Pondicherry Association, sources are reporting.

“We are experiencing intermittent glee at the thought of their return,” said commissioner Dr. Albert C. Pondicherry, Jr. “They sent some nice gifts along too– a large wooden salad bowl with tongs, some fleece throws and some island Papayas which were ravenously torn apart by Association executives. They didn’t show much interest in the salad bowl and the throws– just kind of lightly pawed at them before casting them into a dark, shadowy, unlit corner but the whole point is that it shows that the Hooper [sic] Islanders are a gracious people.”

The Stamps had revoked their expansion application in December over frustration at the lockout.

“The people of Hoover Island are known for their patience,” said club owner Aaron Tucker, who was interviewed while breakfasting at a nude diner. “But this [the lockout] was too much to bear. It appears now that things are headed in the right direction and we will see hockey on Hoover Island before too long.”

Tucker, whose island is primarily nudist, discussed the pitfalls of introducing this custom into Association hockey.

“We have a great number of ideas floating around,” said the monarch, as a heavyset unclad waiter dished out second servings of coffee, syrup skins* and jellied hand cakes**. “We are working with engineers to construct a nudist section at our principle arena which will be covered by a floating glass curtain rendering it invisible to TV viewers. We are sensitive to Lankville’s general rejection of our custom and know that viewers will probably not be amenable to witnessing male fans and their dangling, jiggling balls or female fans bending over to reach something in their pocketbooks and revealing their round exposed rumps. We are working to come up with a solution.”

The Stamps have yet to unveil their jerseys for the upcoming season though Tucker revealed a few details.

“We’re going with brown. A dark, muddy type of brown. The socks will be a teal blue. That’s all I’m saying right now.”

Tucker then ended the interview and was whisked away to his next engagement.
