http://goEMAW.com/blog/?p=1072So I'm going to need some help on putting some things together.
Here's some highlights I remember and the other guys can help fill in the gaps. I'll try to do this chronologically.
We almost instantly started eating off the wrong fundraiser deal's food table. Their pizza was a lot better than the stuff we were supposed to eat.
There was a BBBS volunteer assigned to our group. As she was matching up stuff on her roster, she had no problem with my name on her page being Trim despite her boss having introduced me with my slave name minutes earlier, yet when she got to Johnny Wichita she grilled him a little bit about it.
Gooch rough ridin' sucked at bowling in the first game, at one point falling down.
A little after we got started, the late arriving group to our left showed up, led by the man who'd become known as Spitter. He started PI'ing the youth group to their left that had spread out into Spitter's space after he failed to show up on time. While not having his shirt tucked at that moment, we could see the tuck in his soul. Shortly thereafter, we witnessed his setup technique, which consisted of spitting on and/or putting his fingers in his mouth and then putting them in the public use ball before rolling. rough ridin' gross.
We flew through the first game and a bunch of beer. I think it was around then that BBBS started making announcements. Our company with one team had a couple grand more raised than every other business there. We got called up in front of everyone and presented the giant check - well, we kept it for use at the banquet or for future PAY FRANK or HIRE oscar campaigns.
Once I was kind of pak'd, I turned my attention to Spitter and started PI'ing him. At one point, I got another strike and did the DNR dance in his face. Later, after he lubed up and rolled, I told him he can knock more down without spitting and then immediately nailed another strike prompting the quote Gooch posted above.
Meanwhile, Gooch got enough beer in him to not fall down and got 6 frames into a perfect game. Most of the crowd was behind him, except for a few butthurt serious bowlers who claimed it doesn't count if you just roll it right down the middle.
MIR at one point did a much better DNR dance than I did, so that was nice.
Spitter eventually tried to make peace and gave us an "every man a wildcat" before, if I remember right saying "every man a shocker" or some wichita nonsense.
BBBS lady seemed kind of scared of the whole scene but had to deal with it since she's realized if she wants money, she needs to play nice to the EMAWs. She revealed she's an ISU grad and we revealed that a portion of the money came from people pledging towards banning the only ISU poster we have. Turns out she hates Haverhill too and told us to keep exploiting that.
Eventually we got out of there and pak'd in Old Town wehre a band was playing some classic PoetWarrior music at Rock Island.
Fun night.
We still need to raise about $3,000 more. I want to win this thing bad. We really need to put on another performance like last night's as we're being awarded the Best Company trophy at the tuck-filled banquet in December.
