about bloody time...

So you can breathe again - bowling starts up tomorrow night.

Somehow those chuckleheads at the league pulled their shit together and we're actually all set to go tomorrow evening! It's a different ball game going into our third season; we're returning vets now. We know how shit is run. Other teams know, and (appropriately) fear us. We have forged alliances with a few teams we like, and are gunning against some we do not (i.e., Tim Farmer, chubbies... if we don't like you, you probably know who you are). Regardless, this is the season where it all comes together for Off in the Corner. As Beau Ling so aptly put it, the question is: which team are we beating tomorrow?

So, to review, Off in the Corner is back, and better than ever! Basically, this is how I think it breaks down:
  • Season 1: Beginner's luck - we had low expectations and high handicaps. In the end, TF took us down with a combination of voodoo and poor fashion.
  • Season 2: Sophomore slump - some bad luck combined with a corrupt bowling administration led to the team's collective low point, imparting valuable lessons about perserverance, and alcohol tolerance.
  • Season 3: Total Mastery and Domination (yes, it all needs to be capitalized) - where Off in the Corner silences all rivals with superior bowling skills and dance moves to take the championship.
The magic begins tomorrow at 9pm, Bay Shore Lanes in Santa Monica. Feel free to stop by, have a delicious bowling pin shaped beer, and show your support. We will also be celebrating our imminent victory at a nearby tbd watering hole.

Go Off in the Corner!
