Not Quite Sober
official stats and write-up for
Week 5
March 7, 2002
Those pesky Hooters
Wings strike again!
Remember week
3, when we went to Hooters
and Nick
got sick? Then Nick
had a bad day at work, and he bowled really poorly? Apparently, Jason
thought that this was the key to a *good* bowling week, as he successfully
duplicated everything that Nick
did that week. Jason
took the wings-illness a step further; he woke up in the middle of the night
and had to pray
to the porcelain gods.
Nick
was out of town this week, so Christina's
boyfriend Ryan substituted. He will be subbing for Jason
for the last month when he is out of the state, so eventually you'll see
stats being tracked for him, and there will be a biography page for him as
well. Ryan bowled well, and when it was determined that we weren't
going to win any more games, he brilliantly lowered his average with a 95 in
the last game. This should help out in future weeks, and it's this
kind of forward-thinking that could make the difference between our team
coming in last place or 15th.
Jason
and I (Jake)
both had horrible days at work, working the entire day trying to finish a
project before a deadline. With about an hours worth of work to
finish, and a deadline 12 hours away, we left work late, had to rush to
bowling, and knew we'd have to go back as soon as bowling was over.
Perhaps, subconsciously, this would explain the near absence of strikes, as
we wanted to make the games take as long as possible. Knowing we had
to go back to work most certainly affected our beer consumption, which also
probably translated into lower, non-alcohol-enhanced scores. I also
missed a TON of single-pin spares, and missed the head pin about 50% of the
time on my first ball. It was pathetic.
Once again, I don't have anything to say about Christina.
She didn't bowl great; she didn't bowl horribly. She didn't get sick
on chicken wings, and she didn't have an excessively bad day at work.
Someday something noteworthy will happen, and I will write about it.
Until then, you'll just have to look at this picture of a puppy.
