Card Sharks
Posted by: | Comments
Saturday Night we had all but one person sign in for the Survivor Challenge. so, that made the question of “who is going to get booted?” a bit of a moot point. But, we were there to party, and at 9 PM there was definitely going to be a game to be played!! All 8 players entered the Immmunity Challenge of the week . . . Card Sharks.
Tony, Cookie, Larry and Skrully all notched wins in their first matches, with Tony and Skrully going head to head to see who would find their way to the perch in the winner’s bracket. Meanwhile, Z was burning through the loser’s bracket.
Players were given a statement, and they had to decide if it was “Fact or Crap”. get it right, and take control of the board, get it wrong and your opponent takes control of the board.
Eventually Z met Larry in the one-loss bracket, and Larry knocked him out of the tournament. In fact, Larry battled his way back to find himself matched up against Skrully in the finals! Needing to beat Skrully two times in a row to take the victory in the Immunity Challenge was not going to be easy!
But, that’s exactly what happened. Skrully had the cards go against him (lower than an Ace, and an Ace shows up ! higher than a 3 and a two shows up!) and Larry seized the opportunity – and won the title!!

Trivia Updates
Posted by: | Commentsit’s already time for Team trivia again tonight! but before we gather this evening at 8 PM – which is the summer start time for Team Trivia (well, for everyone except “8:20 Tony” as we like to call him), we need to recap the action from the past two weeks!
Last week several teams showed up, and were mesmerized by Larry’s striking hair color. that was reflected in the team names of “i’m too sexy for my hair” and “bleached blonde”. They did battle with “temporary relapse” and the crew of “what did clint eastwood do before he became an actor?”. Don’t ask about that last one, you had to be here.
over the course of the evening they waded some through questions such as . . . .
- What’s the name of the oil drilling rig that exploded and sank in the gulf of mexico?
- I can be a girl anyone can call, a female donkey, or a drink ordered at dorko’s, what am i?
- Where did the abbreviation I.N.R.I. originally appear?
I’d like to say something like “teams see-sawed their way through the standings as the night progressed”, but I was in the back making Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches, so I’m really not sure how it went. I do know, however, that we ended in a tie!!
that’s right – the teams of “Temporary Relapse” and “Clint Eastwood” were called up to the mike for a tie-breaking showdown! And the question?
Cinco de maio commemorates the Mexican victory over the french in what year?
Here’s a picture of our champs, “What did Clint Eastwood do before he became an actor?”

these guys seem to be breaking out of their slump. after having gone, weeks, and weeks, and weeks, and weeks, and weeks without posting a victory, they have managed to outduel their opponents two out of three weeks on a tie breaker.
here’s a picture of them from the week before last, when they bested the rest of the teams in the house to take the title on Team Trivia night!

Speed Slice and Perfection on Survivor
Posted by: | CommentsSaturday Night Survivor has reached a milestone. we now know who will be either a winner, a loser, or a member of the final voting tribal council. that’s right, we are down to nine.
LAST Saturday we had three players fail to show, and so to remain alive Tony Matt and Aaron both had thier immunity kick in automatically. That was the end of “auto-immunity” for this season of Survivor!
the game last week? SPEED SLICE on the Wii, from the “Resort Sports” cartridge (err, disk). during the game the players wield a virtual samurai sword. a host tosses objects in front of the players, and an arrow appears telling the players which way to slice the objects. you may have to cut the watermelon from top to bottom, or the stopwatch from side to side.
the first player to make the slice gets the checkmark. first to ten checkmarks wins.
the marquee battle featured Cookie vs. Skrully. unfortunately, neither of them made thier way to the final. instead, when the slicing was done, Ray stood at the top of the heap and claimed his 3rd immunity card.
That night Reedy was voted off of the island. and that set the stage for yesterday!

Perfection – you know . . .
“move on fast
Or the pieces pop out before you put in the last
And that’s Perfection.”
of course the very first thing I said was “take the pieces out of the bucket and put them in their slots”, so Larry dumps the bucket. he got a foul called on him and mended the error in his ways. actually, he then went on to post the best times of the night – and take the Immunity Challenge!!
at 11pm we had voting, and this week Gary K. was voted off of the island. and that, brings us to the magic number of Nine remaining players!

Spring High Low Champs
Posted by: | Commentsthe spring dart league wrapped up completely with their High Man/Low Man tournament. players are paired up depending on their averages. the highest shooter is paired with the lowest shooter, the second highest with the second lowest, and on and on.
per usual, a good time was had by all. events unfolded, and a pair of teams found themselves battling over the title. Doug and Timmy squared off against Randy K and Mike Kerrick. it was one of those match-ups that seemed to favor one team on paper. but, there’s a reason we play the games. players can rise to occassion when the spotlight shines.
Randy K showed up with a solid performance and his teammate Mike Kerrick brought his A game as well. It was great to see mike have success in the finals considering the work he put into his game recently!
Congrats to our champions . . .
