Ice Ice Baby (1991)

Yo, Ship, Let's kick it!

All right stop, collaborate and listen
The Ship was back with the baddest intention
But something grabbed hold of us tightly
Making this week really unsightly.
Would it ever end? Yo -- I don't know
Turn on the lights and we'll throw
To the extreme, we got robbed by a vandal
End of the day, we got burned like a candle.

(We were) Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby
(We were) Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby

Singles, Rich and Roni came out with booms
Then we lost four games due to poisonous mushrooms.
Deadly, when we play Cricket to a tee
But losing five of six outta be a felony.
Love it or leave it, we needed to find a way
We had to hit bull's eye, just to save the day
But there was a problem, Yo, we caused it
Check out the midget while my teammate tossed it.

(We were) Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby
(We were) Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby

Lookin' for points, in Doubles there's no fakin'
But we got smoked like a pound of bacon
Only Rebecca and John were quick and nimble
Getting a win that stood as a symbol.
But this week was like a chemical spill
Games that were hard to swallow as a pill
Losing by 8 points, this is a hell of a concept
Let's take a break and try to forget this
End of the day, we got sliced like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast, Other teams say, "damn"
If darts was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram
Keep your composure when it's time to get loose
Next week at home we'll all kick the juice
But there was a problem, Yo, we caused it
Check out the midget while my teammate tossed it.

Ice Ice Baby Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold
Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold

Yo man - Let's get out of here! Word to your mother.

Props:
Roni: A surreal effort.

Cum On Feel The Noize (1983)

This week featured a return to The Edge, one of the smallest and loudest venues on the schedule. But The Ship came armed with some weapons to help us pump up the volume and cause a riot.

Roni hit lead-off this week, and played a strong game before coming up just short. But Rich, Rebecca and John followed up with wins, and then Fred was awarded a forfeit win just for standing around on crutches. With an early 4-2 lead, The Ship was making itself heard.

Since it was tough to move Fred around, we just left him out there to start Cricket. Technically it was a two-on-one match, but things were closer than they appeared, as it was only three legs to two. But Roni / Fred made the most of their legs and notched two wins. Andrew / Rebecca were swept in game two, but Rich / John came back with a sweep of their own, making The Ship's lead 8-4.

For D501 each team had only five players, so the first game was a one-on-one match which Rich came back to narrowly win. In game two, the three-legged duo of Fred / Roni notched another win. Rebecca / John couldn't rebound from an early deficit in game three, but two wins gave The Ship an ear-shattering 12-6 win for the night.

Props:
Fred: An unprecedented one-legged sweep.
Dev, Heidi, Autumn, Ayesha, and Becca: For coming out and making some noize.

You Get What You Give (1998)

The second half started with a rematch of week one, against the first-place team in the league. Week one was a back-and-forth match that ended with a 10-8 win for The Ship, and this week we again traded blows with the Dart Vaders.

Just like week one, S501 started out with a 3-3 tie. Rich, Glenn and Rebecca all won (but got no AS points), while Roni, Andrew and Aaron lost (but scored 290 AS points between them).

Cricket started out rough, as Rich / Rebecca dropped both games, including a heartbreaker in game two. Glenn / Andrew worked a split in their games, but Roni / Aaron were swept, putting The Ship down 8-4.

Proving they could give as good as they get, Roni / Aaron went back out and won the first game of D501 with an almost flawless game. Rebecca / Glenn fell far behind (not even in with only 67 left for their opponents), but staged a comeback to make a game of it before dropping game two. In the last game, Andrew doubled in and out, carrying Rich to a victory, and the two wins in D501 gave The Ship a much needed 4 points.

So, we got what we gave in week one (a 10-8 loss), but we proved we can go toe-to-toe with anyone.

Props:
Andrew: Two big wins and 98 AS points. There's only two rules, and that's all...
Roni: Major trash talk, backed up by 312 AS points.

Turn The Beat Around (1976)

Yo, listen up, here's a story. With the mid-point of the season upon us, The Ship needs to keep movin' to the nitty gritty if we want continue our winning ways and sail into the playoffs.

Despite an early win by Rich, The Ship was backed into a corner early with an atypical S501 outing. Five losses meant we faced an early deficit, and we were forced to turn the beat around. We had to turn the match upside-down in order to pull out a victory.

Cricket opened with two splits in the opening games, by Rebecca / Roni and Rich / Nacho. The Ship was facing a dire situation when Andrew / John stepped up to the line in the final game. John closed out a huge comeback in the first game with a C4, and then he and Andrew rolled in game two for a critical sweep. Suddenly, The Ship was back in the match, down only 7-5 going into D501.

Riding the hot hand, John / Andrew went back to the line and notched another big win to start D501. Then Rebecca / Nacho staged a comeback to win a close one in game two. In the final game, Rich / Roni fell behind early and were not able to catch up. However, two wins meant a 9-9 tie, which was a big turnaround from an early deficit. If I was green I would die.

Props:
John: Overdressed and overpowering.
ODB: Ghetto Supastar, That Is What You Are.
