BRING YOUR PAPERS!!
April 27, 2010
What’s Happening!! Quite a little bill that was passed in our state this weekend. Were our state leaders forced into action due to the failure of our federal government to address this issue? I don’t know the answer to that but this seems to be an example of attacking the symptom rather than remedying the cause of the sickness. I’m also bugged by our state leader speaking of citizens being “terrorized” by this immigration malady, this to me is an example of a politician bandwagoning on a hot-button issue to stir up public support rather than the bolder step of vetoing the bill in search of an actual solution. Take the populist position to get votes. Stand up Mr. McCain. Because that might mean targeting businesses that provide the attractant and we can’t seem anti-business. I don’t want to take a side on the immigration issue, but this Bill just seems to take the wrong approach to finding a solution.
Sports!! Game 7, Coyotes/Red Wings!! Another whiteout at Jobing.com. As previously stated, I’m not a hockey fan, but I am a fan of an excited city and would love to see the Coyotes make it to round 2.
What I am a fan of is the NFL draft, I’m fairly certain that I was one of the originals in staging the all-day Saturday draft party, popping with the first pick and eating a month’s worth of bad food throughout the day while rarely leaving the couch. The late afternoon chunky chili!
Two weeks left for round two, 6 teams within 7 points of top spot, another perfect game, we’re building to a big finish!!
WINNERS: Free bowling made it’s return and we had 18 free games available. The trivia question was a gimme, so we had all the usual suspects participating. Michael Crofts was glad to see free bowling return, rolling +35 in game#1 to take 8 games on the night. Ken Ferrell took 4 games for +31, with Bob Feller and Scott Bigham taking 3 games apiece.
My absence the previous week meant this week offered two gift cards in our Game#2 Gift-Card Giveaway, one each for top male and female. Cindy James broke through for the ladies, rolling a +69/255 game and choosing a $25 Shell Gift card as her prize. Terry Houle took honors for the men, going +57/245, and selected a $25 AMC Movie card for his effort. Congratulations to all of our winners for Week#34!
Stars-Bill “Pass the Jaeger” Buchanon of #34 Eight Balls & A Split had a dream game#1, burying 12 straight for a perfect 300 game. And it was a lot of fun to see the little celebration that ensued for his accomplishment, lots of excitement (and little liquid-filled glasses) throughout the evening. Great bowling Bill!!
Ladies Pins-Over-Average: Kitt Tashlik +96; JoAnn Kottler +73; Laverne Smith +71; Sandi Newhouse +53.

It took a lot of effort this week to make our list, great bowling by our Stars!
Standings: I posted a top-6 last week, now I have a league sheet in front of me to confirm my projections. One more time for you late-comers:
#35 Red&White 72pts
#20 Get Pinned 70pts
#23 Kitt&Kaboodle 68pts
#31 Givin Pins 67pts
#5 Anybody Anytime67pts
#8 In The Hole 65pts
Some great matchups this week for our top of the charts. Red&White faces Bill “Pass the Jaeger” Buchanon’s Eight Balls and a Split, Get Pinned faces a solid Nike sponsored OK Just Do It, and in a match-up of 300 games, Bill “another day in the office” Evans and Givin’ Pins is challenged by Joe “One For The Toe” Russo and Something Better. And we follow this up with position round next week to close the round. A great way to finish our league!!
Free Bowling Logic on the Blog: 18 games available this week.
-I threw a ball as hard as I could, and it came back to me. I did not bounce it off of anything, there was nothing attached to it, and no one else caught or threw it back to me. How is this possible?
Good Luck, see everyone for week#35!!
