The Final Countdown

Sadly, the NSCC 2008 season is officially over. For the first time ever we have a repeat champ. Give it up for John Simpkins! After a grueling match to the death, John has triumphed and beat all odds. Did anyone even notice him sneak up in rank this season. That dude came out of no where!

They say that all good things must come to an end. And I say that all good things come with a straw and a lime.

The summer of shenanigans and debauchery was a good one, and I have to say, we've really stuck with this croquet thing. We've played through flash floods and mosquitos, for the love of the game. Croquet is our common denominator, and I already cant wait until next year!

Top 5:

1. Tashina's idea for a portable girls pisser next year.

2. Mike G. and me rockin' out to Guns n' Roses on my cell phone.

3. Ricky yells "watch out!", while John Simpkins walks right through the blast zone yelling "what did I miss!?", and then gets hit by the ball.

4. The awards ceremony (Should we keep this a tradition?)

5. The cluster fuck of people at the wicket mound.

Bonus Top 5:

6. Peeing in the tree with Naomi and Steph.

7. I spelled wrangler wrong on Jake's button.

8. Most talkative Temechin getting his 1st point by poison wicket kill on Mike G.

9. Phil apologizing to everyone as he knocked them over in the chicken fight.

10. The first two-peat in NSCC history by Mr. John Simpkins, defender of the year.

Tip of the Week:

According to the rules you can wicket kill on any wicket in ANY game, it's a matter of ethics or pride or whatever to not do it. Should there be a referendum on this? And then Boyd said, read the fucking rules and remember them! So Im assuming rule shit still needs tuning.

Slogan of the Week:

"I got so hot pounding that pole" - Julie

Hero of the Week:

Eric and Nate for the beer run.

Douche-Bag of the Week:

Red for killing Chachi, when all Chach needed was 1 point to beat John. (I think we all felt Chachi's frustration!)

That Ain't Right!: By Carly

"I have a few, most important, Frankey killin' me AGAIN, running out of beer, the bathrooms being locked, and kevin getting a head lamp for the last game and moving it right before someone would take their shot."

Lets Get O.G.:

"Wow, I remember coming to this park back when I was young and wholesome." - Jeff Orr

and Nate's new ride is pretty O.G.

I've heard a rumor of a game next week for fun. Sounds pretty awesome. I think as long as the weather stays dry, we have a good shot a few more games.

I just want to thank everyone for their continued contributions to a great season. Thanks for the beer and thanks for putting your two cents into the blog.

A special thank you goes out to Dave Simpkins. Without Dave, we wouldn't have mallets, courses, or a website. His commitment to the league is outstanding!

One last food for thought; we came, we played, John conquered. 

...to be continued in 2009 bitches!

Me So Horny

You can't have a poster with 2 Live Crew on it and not name your blog "Me So Horny", right?

Show of hands for cro-horny? Maybe cro-corny?

Top 5:

1. Boyd's Swifer Wifer

2. Dartmouth Triple D's (I heart you Eric!)

3. Dave says, BUY YOUR TICKETS FOR BEER FEST ON SATURDAY!!!

4. Savannah, spreadin' um for Krisha.

5. Who is she (Tashina) playing with? She might just be a league of her own!

Tip of the Week:

AJ "3 Shakes and a 90 degree angle" (New nickname? "Downtown AJ Brown", write that down)

Slogan of the Week:

Lets Get O.G.:

Did we play here last year?????

Hero of the Week:

Shane for supplying the ALL DUDE half time.

Douche-Bag of the Week:

Shane said Mike G. and Poops. Don't argue, just let it happen.

Where's Chachi?:

Waxing his vagina in Broomfield somewhere. (Whoa low blow)

Things I Shouldn't have Overheard:

"I'm the backstop, not the basket." -Dave Simpkins, followed by the girls chanting "clench it, clench it!"

Obscure Misc.

WTF? We played mosquito last week!

Shout Outs:

Happy Anniversary Savannah and Red!

Cro-Nominations:

Dave nominated me as the "Ministry of Information". I accept, and I'm hiring John Simpkins as my speech writer.

Hey guys, I hope you all had a really kick ass season. I know I did!

Next week is the last blog of the season. Although we've been doing the community blogs, I think I might make next week's a "best of".

Also, everyone please STICK AROUND after next weeks game! Im working on getting Mike G. to finish the player cards, Boyd and I have a super cool surprise, and there WILL be chicken fighting. 

So remember your helmet, and tell your sweetheart that you'll be home late... and drunk.

Whole Lotta Love

I never got the chance last week to write anything, and am currently fighting with my kitten over the poster. Damn, she loves paper. Last weeks game was sort of bittersweet because it marked the end of parks being called for games. It seems as though this season flew by when it was barely getting good!

Next week (Or should I say tomorrow night) is at Anderson Park on 23rd and Clay, and the week after that is our season close at Wolff Park. I think we should call a bbq for that game, of course all byo.

Top 4:

1. Mike G.'s run from poisons to poison.

2. Chris Red dedicated his win to Savannah!

3. The horizontal 8 wicket game. Apparently Jake & Marika's course not only had a wicket in the side of the tree, they also discovered at the very end, that there where only 8 wickets in play.

4. Nate's stealth kamikaze.

Slogan of the Week:

"My mouth tastes like a department store"

Hero of the Week:

Tashina for getting the bug spray, and Dee for texting in the 38 cents/gal premium gas at 38th & pierce. Someone got fired that night!

Douche-bag of the Week:

The mosquitos, Red crossed out to look like Boyd and then vetoed, and Deme for spraying bug spray in everyone's beer.

That Sounds Good!: By Tashina

Pissin' at my house at half time.

Things I Shouldn't have Overheard:

"I've thought about smothering him in his sleep... I mean... smothering him with love."

Balls of the Week:

We weren't sure what Jake meant by wanting to add this category, so after a silly conversation with Shane, we decided that Shane has the balls of the week.

Where's Amber?:

Mowing the lawn in one way or another.

Where's Mikey?:

Laying the pipe.

Which brings us to the Tip of the Week:

You've got to dig the grass to lay the pipe.

Don't know how that all happened, but you can probably blame Carly. Just kidding, it was all in good fun. See you all next week!
