Pretty Young Thing

Call it what you want to all it, but I think we might be croquet-a-holics. Did anyone else notice the mass amounts of beer at this weeks game? I think we just paid some hobo's rent for the next two months with the amount of cans that entered the trash. Who said we weren't a charitable organization!

So this week was pretty cold and damp. Not the usual weather for May, but for the NSCC, games are played rain AND shine.

What's really hilarious is when it rains for the entire game and you keep asking yourself "why am I here?" and then you never leave. Is it the love of the game? Or the thought of a possible point to get you off the NPP list? Im not going to lie, its the NPP list.

This Weeks Top 5:

1. Christine asking Margaret "Remember when you used to suck?"

2. Anthony, the tiniest member of the league, having a bad ass run while there where two poisons after him. Go little man!

3. Zach poison killing John. He shot through the picnic table and down the hill. (Wish I could have seen that!)

4. John's attempt to bowl over another game with Poops' spare tire.

and finally...

5. The ridiculousness of hearing that former member Melanie, started a new league. "the South Side Croquet League." That's lame. Banished for life I tell you.

This weeks tip comes from our very own John Simpkins: "Just punch yourself in the face and you'll forget". Even though this tip came from a long rooted conversation about bowel movements, I think we can all apply it to different things in our life to make it work. Thanks John.

I haven't heard where next weeks game will be, but I can tell you that we WILL be taking player card pics at this game. Lets face it, who wants to remember the croquet season with scarves, hats and pink noses?
