Down to the Wireland

Amongst the lush green vistas of the Emerald Isle lies County Cork, who's motto is "a safe harbour for ships". This week The Ship found itself back in its own safe harbor, amongst a plethora of corks. (Click to continue...)

Come Back To Jamaica

Watching the Yankees fall behind by nine runs early in the evening was a surreal event. But we always know that it take many games, mon, an' maybe some bloodshed mus' be, but righteousness someday prevail. So it was with the Bombers, and so it was with The Ship - righteousness prevails.

Shake Your Bhutan

This week, The Ship headed far north into Land of the Thunder Dragon, a part of Manhattan long ruled by chaos and hostility. Under the watchful eye of the Council of Ministers who were on hand to observe, we entered the mysterious land for a traditional game of khuru with the locals. (Click to continue...)

Thailand

After traveling up and down the far east, this week The Ship settled down squarely in the middle of the seedy heart of Thailand. Yes, from Soi Cowboy to a "soapie," that sketchy underbelly of the world offers every form of prostitution available, but in this case we didn't receive such a "happy ending". (Click to continue...)

Kicking Some Estonia

According to scientific theory, human settlement in Estonia became possible when the ice from the last glacial era melted away 11,000–13,000 years ago. And just like Estonia, The Ship thawed out this week, melting away the cold streak that had enveloped us earlier in the season. (Click to continue...)

Laos-y Night

The Ship returned home this week, but our game remained mired in southeast Asia. And just like the Yankees and the Rangers, it felt like we got trounced by a million elephants. (Click to continue...)

My Oh Myanmar

The Ship hit the road this week, looking to keep the momentum going from its first win of the season. With a swift and strong effort, we had a chance to make our mark on the league. (Click to continue...)

Hey! Ho! Lesotho!

It has been a rough couple of weeks to start the season, as The Ship searches for its groove. Back at home this week, we hoped to escape from our enclave and rise to new heights. Luckily, we ran into a team with only four players, which seriously helped us in our bid to turn around the season. (Click to continue...)

Uganda Be Kidding

This week the journey required a few extra legs, as we trekked all the way down to Essex Street to play. Although Rich and Rebecca had recently returned from the homeland of darts (and even saw The Power versus Barney while in a pub), they were suffering from serious jet leg, which led to much mid-match napping.

You Oughta Be In Pictures

As you can tell from the season's worth of snapshots (and the "complete" team photo to the right), you oughta be in pictures, you’re wonderful to see. And, as proven by our outstanding season-long performance, you oughta be in the playoffs (and you are). (Click to continue...)

Caught In The Camera Eye

All the world’s indeed a stage, and we are merely dart players. Sitting in first place in the subdivision (in the basement bars...), The Ship is truly living in a fisheye lens, caught in the camera eye. Catch the mist, catch the myth, catch the mystery, catch The Ship. (Click to continue...)

Can You Picture That?

Dr. Teeth: Hey, Floyd, Pick a verse!
Floyd Pepper: Let me take your picture, add it to the mixture, there it is I got you now!

This week The Ship mixed up another batch of darts goodness, but there is no way that Floyd knew what was being added to the mixture this week. So now begins the changin' and mental rearrangin' that is the weekly update. (Click to continue...)
