He Said With a Grin

There once was a team named The Ship
Who quite enjoy darts and a quip.
They have a few laughs
as they pull out their shafts
and offer the waitress a tip.

At Dempsey's we had lots of fun
as each of us threw at least a ton.
On beers we got blotto
while Fred ate Jeollodo
and four Singles games were won.

The teams moved on to play Cricket
and all of the ass in the room, Ship did kick it.
We needed five cork
but Rich just held his dork
While thrice down the pipe Turner did stick it.

In Doubles things turned for the worse
save Michael carrying Dave like a purse.
We won only one game
and we came up quite lame
Suddenly struck by a Halloween curse.

Throughout the night we had our kicks
Heidi chipped in with dirty limericks.
The rhymes were low class
and we laughed off our ass
As The Ship won the match twelve to six.

Props:
Dave - For a sweep, and saving money.

DartsBack

The Ship is bringin' Darts back!  Them other teams don't know how to act.  This week we played Fitzgerald's and that's a fact.  We're in first place, we better watch our back.  So sit down and I'll give  up the recap!  Get your Darts on.  Go 'head be gone with it. 

First, let me set the mood.  It was a rainy night outside, but it was hot inside.   The Ship was burnin' up, and we gotta get it fast!  A scheduling snafu left us with an open spot, and we needed to me make up for the things we lacked.  But we truly brought darts back early on, with consecutive wins in S501 from Rich, Andrew, John, Nacho and Darian.  Unfortunately, I got whipped because I misbehaved, so we were docked 1 point, but still up 5-1. 

(Take em' to the Cricket!)

Well, what goes around...comes around.  In round two, we yelled "Come here girl!" and Mindy came out to get her darts on.  But, despite an opening win from Rich / Andrew and a closing win from John / Nacho, we lost the rest of the games.  Suddenly, our lead slipped down to 7-5, and we were losing our way.

(Take em' to the Doubles 501!)

The sexy ladies (Mindy / Darian) started things off in D501, but couldn't close it out.  Dirty babes...  John / Nacho were DartStoned ( which is a bad thing) in game two, resulting in a loss.  But, Rich / Andrew were able to chop it up in game three and pull out a win, making the final score a 9-9 tie.  Next week we play FutureDarts and make DartsSounds.  You ready? Yes.

Props:Mindy - Way to pick up the slack.

Smokin'

Day is night in New York City, and Tuesday is dart night for The Ship, so come hitch a ride and head for the other side.  This season it's easy for The Ship, and we're ready because it's a party as long as we're there.

We began the journey with wins from Michael and Rich before the engines cooled a little and Andrew dropped a game.  It's been such a long time since Darian has played, but that didn't stop her from walking in, stepping up and posting a win, highlighted by a unique 5-9-D5 out with 24 on the board.  John's win in the final game gave us even more peace of mind, and we ended S501 up 4-2, and The Ship didn't look back.

Rich / Andrew were cookin' tonight, with a sweep in two Cricket games (I'm not jokin').  There was something about Darian / Mindy on this Tuesday.  When they got up on the stage and got ready to play, they won their first game, and nearly won both games, save for some lucky bulls from the other team.  Everybody was gettin' crazy and anticipating love and music from Michael / John, and they delivered a split for an 8-4 Ship lead after Cricket.  But everything up until this point was just foreplay, and we were about to be feeling satisfied.

Darian / Mindy launched us into D501 with a win in game one.  Michael / John picked us up and took us away with a win in game two.  And Rich / Andrew showed some sweet delight with a win in the last game that sent us home tonight.  The D501 sweep made the final score a 14-4 Ship win.  Good times (and faces that remind me.)

Props:
Darian - Welcome back.  You've got to keep on chasin' that dream.
Rich - A sweep.  Keep on tokin'.

Don't Mess With The Bull...

Principal Vernon said it best, and now The Ship knows... don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns.  This is difficult advice to follow when playing darts, but even with our very own bullfighter on the squad, we managed to cause quite a ruckus this week in our match against The Matadors. 

We hit the ground running like it was Pamplona, with both teams wanting to get started right away.  But it wasn't long before "milkchugger" Rich found himself gored, taken down by a the first of many randomly flying spears.  Luckily, Michael and Dave brought their red capes and were able to wave them and pick up two wins.  John and Andrew were also shocked with their losses, but with "automatic" Nacho's win in the final game, The Ship limped away from S501 in a 3-3 tie.  Being bad does not feel pretty good. 

Dave / Michael started Cricket with a stutter, resulting in two hits in the loss column.  In round two, Rich / Andrew dropped the first game, causing them to seriously consider pursuing a career in the custodial arts.  However, they were able to bounce back and take game two.  In the final round, a naked blonde walked into the bar with a poodle under one arm and a two-foot salami under the other. The bartender said, "I guess you won't be needing a drink," and the naked lady said that John / Nacho swept their final two games, making the score 6-6 going into D501.

Looking to salvage some semblance of respect for the night, Dave / Michael put up an early win for The Ship.  John / Nacho were taken down in game two, but Andrew / Rich pulled out a win in the final game to secure a queasy 10-8 win for The Ship.

Props:NYDO - For mercifully awarding The Ship a 14-4 win when the Matadors were docked 5 points for an unregistered player.
