Skeeson Wrap Up and Highlights!

Ok, so we did better this Skeeson but not good enough to move out of last place and into some other place, any other place. Nonetheless it was a great skeeson filled with many great moments. Here are the top 10 moments from this Skeeson in no particular order.

1. Winning, Ball Buster style when an opponent “called it” first.
2. Emily utilizing her double joints in speed skeeball mode.
3. Jenn’s balls growing wings and taking names in flight
4. Benson sporting hot pink Ball Buster leg warmers.
5. Getting over 600 in each game. (a low goal maybe, but a goal reached nonetheless).
6. Angel–Peggy kicking ass and showing us the bumper ball move.
7. Peggy discovering unusually large digits.
8. Learning that it’s better to get the balls into the higher number holes.
9. Coming closer to discovering the perfect combo of drinks that makes each of us roll a little better each time.
10. The Charlie Brown Christmas tree, make-up skee, darts, pool, dog training, dinner and new friends.

Angel-Peggy Is A Ringer!!!!!

Who knew that hanging out at Chuck E Cheese until age 25 would pay off in a bigger way then finally cashing in a lifetime of tickets for an oversized Garfield doll. But last night Angel-Peggy's childhood hobby became The Ball Busters saving grace (well, almost). We were very close to winning last night thanks to Angel-Peggy's high rolling and bumper-loving style. I even heard someone say "it's like his balls have wings." It was a fun night and though we missed our girl Peggy, she was there in spirit and points with Angel-Peggy!

Tonight The Part Of Peggy Will Be Played By Angel!

The Ball Busters are not faring well this skeeson. Winter flu has swept our team and taken no mercy along the way, causing us to forfeit two games. Ouch! Even our alternates’ alternates were sick. But tonight we are coming back with a vengeance with the help of one of our seasoned alternates. Angel will make his rolling debut tonight and he has promised to not only bring his A game but his B, C, D and E game as well. And he looks good in a skirt! I feel an upset coming on!

Becks Shall Remain Clothed…. For Now!

Maybe we should move the chains around a little. Set less lofty goals. Like, instead of trying to win a game, maybe we should try to get above 700 points in a match or maybe we should just practice a bit more. Roll some balls on other nights of the week.

Or maybe…(this is still a theory and it hasn’t been tested) but there appears to be a direct correlation between drinks consumed and skee-ball rolling ability. The more we consume, the better we roll. But how many drinks and what type of drink will be the perfect combination that produces a stellar game? And will each roller need a customized combination? When’s the cut off point? Is it when a roller is telling child molester jokes or when they are no longer rolling in their lane? And if the perfect combination is mastered, is it considered a performance-enhancing drug? Thirty-two years from now will we be defending our skee-ball glory days by claiming that we thought it was flaxseed oil that we were drinking? While there are several possible consequences to exploring this theory (headaches, blurred vision, slurred speech, future drug accusations, etc.) I think it’s worth a shot if it means we have a chance to win a game and take off some of Becks clothes. So let’s do it. Let’s start this study at our next game. If not for a chance to win at skee-ball then let’s do it for science and all of mankind.

Would You Skee Like A God If The Reward Is Seeing David Beckham’s Package?

Ok so we lost last night buuuuuuuuuut we played really well, it was a very close game and we finally broke 600. So… as team captain I have found a way to motivate the Ball Busters to really step it up in our upcoming games. This technique was created for a little team called the Cleveland Indians (maybe you’ve heard of them). They were once also called bush league and they went on to win the division title! So I’m pretty sure it will work for us. I present you with David Beckham – The Motivator. That’s right ladies, all you have to do is win a game and a piece of Beckham’s clothes come off. From his sweatband to his pretty pink briefs, DB is ready to support the Ball Busters! The question is; are you ready to support DB?

There’s a New Ball Buster In Town

Meet Cindy Lou, aka “The Ringer.” She’s The Ball Buster’s newest alternate and she’s ready to tear shit up! She’s petite but man does she know how to score points. After last weeks loss (of sorts – we still feel like winners and I feel like a double-jointed god) we decided it was time to bring in the big guns. So check out her form in this youtube video and as soon as we can get a silly little ID situation sorted out, you will be able to see her roll with The Ball Busters on Wednesday nights. And for those of you who are hoping we will make it to the championship this skeeson, I have great news. We are currently not in last place sooooooooo, I’m saying there’s a chance.

Another Skeeson, Another Chance For Glory!

Tonight we take on Monica Lewinskee 3 and I hope those ladies (or gents) are prepared, because there’s no way to sleep your way to the top in this match. (Get it? Monica Lewinskee and sleeping to the top? eh? eh? nothing?)

In case you missed it, The Ball Busters effortlessly took last place in our rookie skeeson and we're positive that there is no place to go but up this skeeson. Why? Because along the heartbreaking road to last place, we learned some things about skeeball, each other a little bit about ourselves.

We learned that we need to get the balls in the holes with the numbers on it and the higher numbers are better. That 2.5 drinks will improve your roll. That Benson doesn’t like to share beavers. That cheering is contagious annnnnnd slightly obnoxious. That wearing sunglasses at night is only cool if your Corey Hart. And most importantly we learned what it means to be Ball Busters! Put em' in the holes tonight ladies and lets start this skeeson off with a win!
