Fancy that

just as we were gathering some momentum, we ran into Mr Fancy Pants. Not a team name that leaves opponents quivering in fear one might feel.... Perhaps a team name that Weasler would feel comfortable with.... Turns out that this team has been around for ages and actually recruited Slipper for a season in the dim & distant past. Where he was giving every opponent the kitchen sink. Not like tonight where he was giving his opponent 9 on 11 but that's for later. Still, we're younger & better looking so we should win this matchup, right?


Throwing up the Dog first (see image above), the proud posessor of a 2 game winning streak, seemed obvious to start & we partnered him with Laya in the other match. Things seemed to be going well, Liz fueled by an intake of Irish coffee (with Jamesons no less) & Dog sipping his so'co'lime on the rocks. Liz won by 3 racks & good old Jeffrey seemed to be ready to snatch his third straight when it just didn't happen. Annoyingly enough.

Skipper was busy dismantling his D+, getting it to 6-6 more by luck than skill while Slipper watched his opponent s**t in the 9 in the first rack, which meant he had to win 11 in a row. Things were now looking decidedly gloomier. And Liz had another Irish cofee.

Slipper did win 11 in a row but a miserable losing performance by Pachebat, including what should have been a sportsmanship violation as he hurled his cue onto the table after his opponent s**t in a 9 ball of his own to get on the hill, left the match tied.

Liz was chomping at the bit to play the tie-breaker & as everyone else seemed to be running out the door, it made tons of sense. Skipper did try & stay but after he saw Matt reappear, meaning that Liz had a least one body cheering her on, left with the wife to do some chomping of his own at a pre-arranged dinner.

I didn't get any update from Liz later (like she had promised) so I called her. All I could make out was how she was about to kill herself, which I assume means we didn't emerge victorious.

I guess that means the re-appearance of Weasly won't ruin our winning streak cuz we don't have one.
