that we could end the first half of the dart season with everyone tied at 9-9. fo course, there is a chance that we could have a clear cut winner as well.
right now, the teams stand at 8-7 or 7-8. so anything’s possible.
last night there were a LOT of solid dart scores. forty games were plentiful. but, they weren’t good enough to keep up with Muff Money. Danny Lawler was simply on his game turning in two 50+ games, including the New Season High game of 55!
STATES:
the two Dorko’s dart teams met each other in the final game in the loser’s bracket on Saturday. and that means we have one team going to the finals - congrats to Doug, Chrissy Schu and Dave Wolfgang.
this week is the final chance to qualify, and the team of Nate, Joe Swat and Corey Hepler will be shooting. Best of luck guys!

that’s where all of the teams in the Tuesday Night Dart League stand.
with things as even as you can get heading into the second portion of the first half, things are interesting. skinner kept himself away from Tailgunner status for a second week in a row. Z took that spot this week with an 18.
Joe Swat kept the streak of 50 games alive by throwing a 50 on the dot in a losing effort against Ed’s team.
Biggie had one of the more important darts of the evening. while standing at the line for the triples contest, he managed to land one in the trips.
SATURDAY FOR STATES - there were supposed to be two brackets of teams at States this week, but that has been collapsed to a single bracket that starts at 1pm. unfortunately for us, we have TWO teams headed to Tresckow this weekend. and now they may have to face each other before the day is done. ugh.
these are the last two teams heading up qualifiers, so if you plan on making a trip i’d say head up saturday to support the guys!!

resourceful souls are undeterred by “inclement” weather . . . .

Week 3 of the spring dart season rolled around on tuesday night. we had chili, yay. oh, and the dart part of it . . . everyone came into the week tied. and since we play three games a night, it would be impossible for everyone to remain tied. so, we did the next best thing.
now, two teams are tied for first, and two teams are tied for second
beavis took the line for the triples event this week, but wasn’t quite able to land one. so, the joy that is the triples event grows even bigger.
and, once again we have a new “high game” for the season. this week Nate Dobek bested the current mark and set the bar at 53. nice darts Nate.
Skinner failed to make the board as Tailgunner. that’s what happens when you’re shooting 20’s and 30’s. don’t worry, there’s always next week!

well, not really, but that’s one of the teams from last night’s trivia conTest. errr, it’s one of them that i can put into print at least. Chickalet, i received confirmation this morning, you are indeed going to hell. i can’t tell you when though ’cause that would ruin the surprise. don’t worry though, apparently larry will be there waiting for you, with a cold Old Milwaukee’s Best Ice in hand.
so, the new . . .
7 pm Start Time
worked into people’s schedule’s last night, as evidenced by a wonderful turnout! and that included Phillipine - great to see you dude! folks worked their way through 40 different trivia questions in their quest to be at the top of the heap when the final buzzer sounded. and, the race was tight. one question did begin to separate teams, and i think it even flip flopped the leaders - but i’m not sure. anyone ever play . . .
Stratego? apparently it’s popular enough to make it’s way into, get this, the Mind Sport Olympics in London. who’d'a thought?
the contest was still tight though, and even with a big bonus at the end no one was sure who would come out on top until the very end. the crew of “The Rizza” made perhaps the most valiant effort of the evening, finishing second with a close-knit team of three!
excellent showing guys!!
other big winners include the young lady who had her ticket chosen for the Magic Envelope Pile draw! since the Magic Envelopes contain things like twenty dollar bills, ten dollar bills, and even a fifty dollar bill (right joel?), we can’t forget to mention that!! since you don’t have to answer any questions, and you can win up to $50, it’s the kind of thing that can help start someone’s week off right
these guys picked up the ski-lift tickets to Jack Frost Big Boulder
oh yeah, between all the give-aways we were still playing trivia! and now, let us reveal the champions of the evening - “Larry is Pretty in Pink”
More of the same is on tap for next week:
- 7 o’clock starting time, so we can all start the night a little earlier and end it a little earlier (or party longer depending on your Tuesday obligations )
- Ski-lift tickets give-away that doesn’t involve answering any questions (thanks Yeungling and Durdach’s)
- Magic Envelope Pile
- Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
- Dollar Yeungling Lager Bottles
- General Merriment for everyone!

new news on the Trivia front!! not only has Larry returned to bring us a weekly dose of things that well, only Larry would be the source of, but - we have a
New Starting Time - 7pm
that’s right, we’re gathering at 7pm these days!!! the buffalo chicken is ready to go, the beer special is still Yeungling Lager bottles for a buck, and now we’re wrapping up the action by ten - so everyone can enjoy a night of fun and trivia, and still hug your pillow at the regular time!!
so, if you’ve skipped a week and fell out of the loop - shine around a little earlier than last time
and now, onto the recap of the week that was . . .
yep, that’s right. the smiling faces from the take-out corner came out on top. the turning point in the evening was probably the final bonus question. Name the continents in order of size. that size thing being the tricky part.
i knew that Tanney should know the answer to this one, being the trivia force that he is. but, he came up short this time, and the corner team leap-frogged his crew to take down the title.
oh, best team name went to “Brett Favre can only count to eleven“.
the previous week’s winners have some familiar faces, but they had to face a sudden death overtime question . . . .
and the week before that . . . .
THIS WEEK
will be the fourth week where we give away a PAIR of snow passes to JACK FROST BIG BOULDER. after all, ’tis the season. and no, they don’t automatically go to the winning team. so, come on out on Monday at 7pm, and you’ll have an equal chance to pick up a night’s worth of winter fun on the ski slopes, for free!!!

During a recent password audit at a company, it was found that a blonde receptionist was using the following password:
“MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento”
When asked why she had such a long password, she said she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters long and include at least one capital.

there are a couple of things that are happening on the darts front at the bar. first off, after the end of two weeks worth of action, nothing has changed. errr, i mean . . .
We’re in a four way tie for first (or last, i guess) place!! two thumbs up for exciting action on a Tuesday night
The high game of the season was 50 going into Tuesday’s action. now it stands at 51, a mark put up by Dave Wolfgang, who had a VERY hot hand this week! he also managed to land a triple during the triples event, and it was as good a time as has ever been to do that!
dave led shooters for the week. Joe Remash was the most consistent shooter putting up scores of 40, 40 and 41. Randy K and Joe Swat both turned in 40 averages for the night. Randy K. is keeping his spot at the top of the averages sheet for the second week in a row.
nother remarkable performance was turned in by Skinner. he wins the “widest margin” sticker for the week by posting scores that range from 14 to 40.
there’s more dart actin before week three’s tuesday games. this weekend we’ll be sending a team to the State tournament which kicks off on sunday morning at 11. Good Luck guys!!!
the tourney is at treskow, same as it has been for several years, and Muff Money will be representing. there will be others going with him, but you know how it is with Lawler. the spotlight stops on him. just kidding, hobo and shawn floyd will going with, and we’re hoping they all have hot hands!
tuesday night - maybe we’ll break the tie. we’ll definitely have Sandy’s Chili, so without a doubt it’ll be a good time!
