Game 11
Great game last night y’all. For the last few weeks there’s been a mean-spiritedness in the air, for which I’m in a large part responsible for fostering, and for which I apologize. I will refrain from the excessive abuse of other players, if for no other reason, because it only seems to make Dom stronger. But last night everyone put grudges and the shit-talking and such aside and played croquet, and my eyes are watering up as I write this, but everyone was a winner. It was like the Special Olympics but drunk. Somebody give me a hug. And props to Bergonz for his full page addendum to his bio sheet, reminding us what the spirit of croquet is all about.
Anyhow, Boyd was the big winner of the evening, bringing him up to a total of 9 points, and giving him sole claim to 2nd place. Jeff Orr continued his winning streak, scoring his 3rd point in 4 weeks. He also extended his taking me out streak to two weeks in a row. I think that there’s something in his O’Doul’s which heightens his perception, because he’s the only one drinking it, and he seems to be much more alert at the end of games then everyone else.
JESS! It’s about time you got on the board, and nobody deserved that point more than you. Have you ever missed a game? Your victory portrait came out a little blurry, but you can still see that game winning glow about you.
The final winner of the evening was me (Dave) and I’m naming this point Moses, as verily it shalt leadeth my people to the promised land. Or something.
So the next business at hand would be next weeks game, which Boyd has decided will be at Inspiration Point. As it will be the 4th of July, we’re gonna start grilling and drinking at Steph and Julie’s place around 2:00 and then walk up the block to play at 4:00. Then after the game back down the hill to T.P. the Navarettes. We should definently coordinate getting a keg before the game. Or perhaps two? So bring some grillin’s and sparklers and we’ll party like it’s 1776.
And I almost forgot, I’ve tracked down last seasons scores up ’til the last game, but for some reason I didn’t ever post those. Does anyone remember how the last game ended? Let me know if you remember anything.
