The Gnomes tied for 3rd in the mixed division, but it wasn't really about the games we won/lost. I believe that I speak for most of us when I say that I'd be just as happy with last place as long as we still had fun. It would take me hours to write up everything that happened this weekend, so here's a bulleted list of the highlights as I saw them. Feel free to add your memories in the comments section:
-The Toy Box finds a giant 'Big John' statue in Metropolis, IL. Minutes later they stumble upon a slightly smaller 'Giant Superman Statue'
-Toy Box discovers that Nashville is roughly 8924592659 times hotter than Hotlanta. Cowboy hat!
-Chris has a magic trash can
-The Gnomes enjoy the Georgia Sea Turtle museum, consider adopting a team turtle
-Amy finds a sand dollar!
-Euchre is resurrected with the new Gnomes. Did Goober ever learn how to play?
-Padula makes friends with Marquette!
-The power goes out on our block, and a midnight beach party commences.
-About 30 seconds before the power goes out Trevor, Willy and Ryan attempt to "shotgun a beer from beers" with the help of an unknown ultimate player who helps us keep our balance during the blackout
-Pete keeps it positive! (and the ladies go wild)
-Eric takes us out to a nice seafood dinner and NEVER CALLS US AGAIN!
-Balloon tips, buzz tips, strippy buzz tips in the middle
-We all met Brenton Hard, the guy who laid out for a disc in the endzone at Hucktoberfest '07, broke his arm, and held onto the disc. We gave him a Gnomes disc at that tournament, and it only took him about a half hour to realize that he was playing flippy cup in our house.
-Smashica sneaks out for a few hours. "Who am I? I'm drinking natty light!"
-Afryl Lavigne shows up to hangout on the beach with us
-The male Gnomes realize that growing mustaches is harder than it looks
-Emily turns 21, multiple Gnomes rock the live band heavy metal karoake at some bar on some other island. Emily orders a drink with eye medicine in it
-The clown nose makes its rounds
I'm sure I missed a lot, but that's what happens when you drink rum. Chicago Invite preview coming soon. Later taters.
Sam, Trevor and Michelle fight in the Vietnam war, and while sustaining heavy casualties and losing a POW, America somehow claims "Victory" (which is impossible)
ReplyDeleteWe also shotgunned a beer off of Georgetown's roof, in a kiddie pool at a hotel, on the beach, on our own roof, on Marquette's roof and in the front yard.
I just reread this recap...what a gooooood week
