Only the best night of the week...

Yes, once again it is Tuesday. and that means one thing:

BOWLING, BITCHES!

But this week it is bittersweet, as it is the last week of regular season play. Thankfully, Off in the Corner has been devastating our opponents lately, so we are all but ensured a spot in the playoffs. Now don't misunderstand me, its no time to get cocky. Playoffs are rough, and insidious dirty tricks will likely abound. Just because Off in the Corner is an upstanding team of morally upright sportsmen does not mean that other teams also act accordingly. Therefore, I have outlined some of the tenets that have made us so successful and a model team.

1) High-fives. All the time. Between rolls. After rolls. During rounds of drinking bowling pin-shaped beer. After lacing up our bowling shoes. When Jeffy kisses his guns.

2) Dancing. Yes, constant dancing. It totally psyches out the other team, plus, keeps us 'warm' for our next roll. And please, with skills like these, it would be a crime not to share them.

3) 4 team members = 4 beers. No exceptions. Well, barring that one time when I had bird flu, and that other time we had a 'guest' so we had five beers each. But I think the 5-beer time I bowled like 36. In any case, it is not bowling without our delicious bowling pin beers. Oh yes, soon my pretties...

4) Our team is 50% Asian. 50%! Plus, we have taught Jeff not to hate Asians any more - a big step! I think this alone speaks to the bond our team has, defeating racism with nothing more than a heavy ball and community shoes.

5) Our infamy and status as a team. The pink shirts, the ritualistic slap of the door post as we enter, our supreme awesomeness overall... don't think we don't know y'all are jealous. But please, don't hate. Off in the Corner is all about love. We don't want anyone beating Off in the Corner tonight or any other night.

Go team!

Playoffs without Off In The Corner, is like cereal without milk. Or bagels, not toasted if you're so inclined.
