Game 8
Lots of chaos last night, particularly in dividing into the games and in the order of placement in the poison battle. Nothing was decided to smooth the start of the games, but the general consensus was that the poison battle doesn’t begin until all balls are placed, regardless of how far apart the players respective posts are. The terrain at Sunken Gardens was as brutal as usual, which made for a no poison point game. Despite the valiant effort by the parks homeless population, that has to be about the shittiest lawn in all of the Denver parks system.
It took me all week to get a picture of AJ, who stormed on to the leader board in game 7, and was then promptly removed the day after I finally got it posted. Bergonz also got knocked off the winners stand. Serves the two of them right for no-showing.
When we were attempting to determine the current standings last night, we were pretty far off as to what every one’s current scores were. How do all you bastards with points not remember what you have. Ungrateful fucks. If I had those points, I would love them and cherish them and give them all names. The one point I have is named Quetzalcoatl, as I had a dream the other night in which archaeologists dug up an Aztec Temple adorned with pictures of croquet games being played with human heads and discovered that croquet was actually invented by the Aztecs and Quetzalcoatl was the God of said game.
Dom got another point for 8 total, keeping him in 1st and furthering speculation that he’s been doping. Boyd was the over-all winner for two points and a total of 7, putting him in a solo 2nd place and within a game of first. John got one more for a total of 4, but not enough to keep him on the winner’s podium. Jeff Orr also won his game to get on the board with one. Next week is Zuni Park. Here’s how it stands. Game on!
