EP 205

Quote of last week that applies to this week:

"If a quote was said and the Commish didn't hear it, did it exist?" - JerSean

So....obviously, no quotes of the night last night, seeing as I was busy getting some on my anniversary. TMI, in your faces! Not to mention the fact that our top quote-makers, Head Homo, JerSean LePaulsen, and Brandon "Hussein" Roberts were all absent, and therefore, the quotes may have been lackluster anyway. Also, as proved by the blatant and frankly, degrading, quote-mongering that was occurring the week before, it serves you all right. Quotes are best gotten when no one is aware that it's happening, or even better, if the person who said it instantly regrets it a moment later. Kinda like reality tv interviews, no?

Speaking of missing games - apparently, there has been a lot of concern about next week's game, which falls on Valentine's Day. I'm under a lot of pressure to cancel, by a bunch of men, no less, who are clearly v-whipped, and also by the fact that a lot of our players will be out of town - New Zealand, a WATN shoot, Camilla is doing mysterious things (and possibly mysterious men) in the South of France, it's all very sad (except for the Camilla part). Also, rumor is that Sexy Ann Frank could be sexy sexing some BBD that night, but that's completely fabricated by Brandon Roberts, who enjoys alienating women. So - there will be a side email with the team captains - I'll let you know if your team is playing by the end of this week, or if they are lacking in testicles.

As for bowling - it was a clean sweep for all three games, with my team, Tonight We Strike! bringing the down the union hammer forcefully upon XXX Productions, who now comically has the record of 6-9 (appropriate for a porn company, no?). Hopefully, I still have my job, in that I pulled a Christine last night (I'm the lowest scoring player on my team, and I didn't make it, and then my team won - against Big Boss Man). Broman has slunk down to the number three spot in individuals, while "The Ringer" has claimed the number two spot, in spite of having zero ability to perform under pressure. Hopefully, this only relates to bowling, and not his personal life? Anyways, Maegamyte bowled a heckuva game, but my team was ridiculously amazing, wonderful, and strong, much like the M.C. that I received last night. For clarification, please see Jesse or Brandon, but I warn you, you'll regret it.

So the Ringer has finally made it to the number two spot, but alas, his team was not with him. They remain in second-to-last place, even after an almost underdog victory tale - Double E, who nearly missed bowling last night because of some lame-ass birthday party, came in to save the day in the last game of the night. They needed 18 to win, 17 to tie in the last frame. They'd already lost the game, but at least they'd have their dignity, right? Her first ball? A gutterball. Second? A spare! 10 pins! Only 8 to go! She could do that, right? Nope. She got 5 pins, and her team lost by two pins. Her second e has been revoked until further notice.

As for Straight...and Hard, the unexpected heroine of the night was none other than their least appreciated player, Christine Owen. Without their misogynistic team leader, Christine blossomed under the tutelage of second-in-command Jesse, who advised her to "use her lizard brain!" when the lights went out. Although he was clearly stoned out of his mind, Christine responded by bowling the game-winning spare, and poo-poo-ing in the face of those who implied that Straight...and Hard can only win without her (don't worry, her poo-poo has been properly sanitized). However, it does not go unnoticed by Fox News that this performance took place minus "Vince Lombardi" Roberts, whose method of berating and lacking faith in his one female team member clearly does not fly with Ms. Owens. She needs a gentler touch, not so straight and hard, methinks. Next week, she could just as easily choose a nice bubble bath and a manicure over bowling if her needs are not properly met. Perhaps Roberts should send her a valentine card? Just a thought.

So as you all are debating next week - candlelit dinner with significant other or disco-lit bowling and fries with Dede? Possible sexual activities or definite drunken activities? Here is who you are all up against:

Tonight We Strike! vs. JerSean's Designated Drivers
All Hale Thee Finns vs. Straight and Hard
3 Hole Surprise vs. The Unknowns

"This might be the best fucking song they played all night." - Jesse, re: Step by Step by NKOTB


I felt like last night, I accidentally stepped into a kindergarten classroom. People were tattling on each other, crying, Kevin Finn was wearing a diaper on his head, it was chaos. I'm gone for one week, one week! and look what I come back to. I'm like the teacher who was out sick one day and comes back to the kids painting the walls and peeing their pants. I almost had to put both Kevin Finn and Head Homo in time out! Don't make me take your quotes away, cause I will.

This week marked the first time the league has actually had to take steps to regulate juicing. Congress has recently been cracking down on me - I've tried to protect you all, but ever since Brandon "Conseco" Roberts brought it to my attention in his recently published tell-all book, Juiced: Wild Times in Biggest Loser Bowling, I've been forced to take action. I turn a blind eye to juicing during the week & juicing during the off-games, but when people are shooting up while they are in the middle of a game??? This cannot happen. I've got the Secretary of Fairness breathing down my neck, and I don't want to have to suspend some of our best bowlers -- or rather, our most entertaining bowlers. I'm looking at you, Kevin Finn & Head Homo. NO JUICING WHILE YOU ARE PLAYING A LEAGUE GAME. Or I will kick your ass out of this league, so help me god.

This week also brought us a new and highly entertaining rivalry - for those who didn't read the quotes, that would be Alex "Big Boss Man" Katz vs. Kyle "I'm a PA!" Swanson. Kyle has, on the DL, been steadily climbing up the individual rankings - while everyone else was distracted by the whole Lappy-Brofman-Hale triangle, Kyle has quietly slipped into fourth place in a tie with last season favorite, De-Recking Kind. Not to mention that he's managed to piss off the most powerful man in BL Sports, "Fluffy Puritan" Katz. As of press time, Swanson still had a job, but then again, I have yet to see him this morning.....

Continuing their slide into LeBron James territory, Straight...and Hard has weaseled themselves into the first place spot in the league - at the expense of becoming the most hated team. Let's hope the rest of the league unites in preventing them from "taking their talents" to the championships. Their latest villainous act? For fear of being accused of being Fox News again, I will phrase the accusations in question form, and let the league decide. For instance, isn't it interesting that the day that they are playing the best team in the league, the former number one spot, if you will, just so happens to be the day that they convince Christine, the only girl on the team, that she shouldn't worry about coming all the way from Ohai tonight! What a bother that would be! You should just go home, get some rest, you worked too hard today! And this would be the same night that they sweep the entire squad of The Unknowns (now XXX Productions - see paragraph below), who, based on league rules instituted and advocated by Secretary of Fairness Brandon Roberts, were forced to play everyone on their team twice, a squad that includes Camilla, admittedly the lowest average in the league? (sorry Chumsys, it won't last :). It's just interesting, that's all. How high up do their machinations go? Did they brainstorm the creative with Lubin for Christine's episode? Did they speak with the line producers in making the house in Ohai, rather than the far more convenient location of Malibu? How come Brofman, Christine's partner, somehow made it to the game? These are just questions, that's all. Just food for thought.

Anyways, the last topic at hand - the Unknowns unveiled themselves in week 4, and...I have to say, it was a bit of a letdown. Much like the girl who waited too long to have sex with her boyfriend, the anticipation was better. I kinda like their old nicknames better than the new porn names (although Camilla as Isaac Chicago is pretty funny, mainly cause of the gender switch. I imagine her smoking cigars now). The shirts are AMAZING though. The entire staff of El Dorado was aflutter about the shirts -- Dede totally wants one, p.s. I think we all do. Just to clarify, The Unknowns will now be known as XXX Productions - here are the old vs. new nicknames, but personally, I think they should stick with the old ones - they won more games.
Percy Sunrise - Brofman (formerly "Broman")
Fluffy Puritan - Alex Katz (formerly "Big Boss Man")
Suki Seeder - Maegan (formerly "Maegamyte")
Yogi Walnut - Hundgen (formerly "Hundjourno")
Atlas Franklin - Dan "Motherfing" Reid (also formerly "Reid My Lips")
Isaac Chicago - Camilla, formerly "Chumsys"

Ok - that takes care of business - except for my new favorite nickname, credit goes to Rodney - M. Night Shyam. The nickname gave Shyam a "Sixth Sense" score of 181 - let's hope he doesn't end up with a "The Last Airbender" type score by the end of the season. It's a surprise ending!! again....

Next week, we're all playing the one team we haven't played yet - we're at the halfway mark. It's the ultimate trifecta of rivals next week - Brofman and Katz vs. Lappy when Tonight We Strike! plays XXX Productions. Straight...and Hard hopefully gets bent by the Designated Drivers (not likely, but I like to root for the underdog), and All Hale Thee Finns plays 3 Hole Surprise.

New stats attached.
