Well It Sure Is Monday Isn’t It Now

Well, color The Ship happy, because this week we played at Bailey's, and there's a sofa for two there, along with a bowling game and bar video games. Of course, some dart dreams come true, and some don't. This week ours didn't, but at least, in case I forget to tell you later, The Ship had a really good time on Monday night.

48 Hours Til Monday

ROXANNE! In a special twist this week, each round of the match was played at a different bar. So hop in your POS sky blue Cadillac and come along for another ride with The Ship. (Click to continue...)

Home on a Monday

Can you guess where I'm writing from? Well, it's not the Las Vegas Hilton, unfortunately, and I'm not spinning The Wheel. This week was over the top, as we were playing to win and looking to make lonesome losers of the top ranked team. So quiet down, drop the bullhorn and use your "inside voice" as you read along with this week's update. (Click to continue...)

And the Truth is Just Beginning

Here's Monday, and here comes The Ship. Slowly but surely, it looks like we are emerging from our hive and taking control if this "B" thing. We came this far without once hurting others, but now we've changed our minds and we are stinging like a bee. (Click to continue...)

A Monday Night Party

Are you ready for some darts? Come on down to the big stage, where you can compete for cash and superstar prizes! This week, with the darts
Commish in the house, The Ship played the bully and won the showcase showdown by posting its first B league victory. (Click to continue...)

Come Monday It'll Be Alright

OK, before we start I just want to let you know that those sandwiches over there, yeah those sandwiches on that table over there, umm... they are not for you. I just wanted to clarify that before we go any further. Now that that's out of the way, let's get our hush-puppies on and get down to the recap. (Click to continue...)

They Call It Stormy...

Another week, and another stormy Monday for The Ship. It was an outing that left us banging our heads against the wall, somewhat frustrated by tough losses. But, we'll keep on trying each week, and if nothing else works, let's go to church on Sunday, to kneel down and pray. (Click to continue...)

It's Just Another...

It was just another manic week for The Ship and its crew. Dave was out mingling with athletes, and Mindy was back from her trip to Peru, and The Ship was camped out at Biddy's for the evening. Time it goes so fast, when you're having fun. And all of the other craziness was just prologue to the fun we were about to have this week. (Click to continue...)

Tell Me Why

Sometimes teams get very excited over darts. I don't understand it, if they think they are as good as gold. I can see no reasons, 'cause there are no reasons to put on a show. So it is, as on into boomtown we go. (Click to continue...)

But Whenever Monday Comes

If we are going to compete in B, we need every advantage we can get. This week, at least one of us was bulked up on some BALCO supplements, but there is no asterisk attached to these results. (Click to continue...)

Oh Yes It's Monday Night

It's Monday night, and the feeling's (pretty much) right as The Ship set sail on it's maiden Monday voyage. Mmmm, oh yeah, it was also Ladies Night at Flannery's, and despite some early hesitation, The Ship showed it is more than capable of competing in Division B. (Click to continue...)

Champions!

Pucker up, Shipmates! Full of Ship is the C1 Subdivision Champion of the 2007 Spring NYDO Tuesday Night season. Yes, after 13 seasons, The Ship has won its first subdivision championship!

Like the 2006 Minnesota Twins, The Ship never held first place in the subdivision until the final week. But of course, that's the only time that counts.

So, clear a space on the mantle for a trophy and clear a space on your calendars for Awards Night, where we will triumphantly claim our rightful awards.

Of course, per NYDO Rules Section 3(12):

• If a team wins it's subdivision or division, at the minimum, it will be moved up to the next division. The teams from C move up to B, and the teams from B move up to A.

But that's another issue for another day. Today, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we prepare for the playoffs, where we will hold home-bar advantage throughout. (Click to continue...)

His Flu Flop

Paging Dr. Ship! Paging Dr. Ship! This week, the Ship rolled its gurney to the UES to look in on another patient and administer some bad medicine. So stay out of the rain to avoid the flu, and take two aspirin and call The Ship in the morning. Stat! (Click to continue...)

Flip Of Lush

Some nights, sailing The Ship is just a breeze. We were all happy to have Michael back from France this week. As an added bonus, our opponents only had four players (and only three after Cricket), ensuring a good score for The Ship. But apparently the coup de grâce was the fact that John had a few drinks early in the evening, which appears to provide him with Superman-like darts skills. With everything going our way, The Ship had the wind at its back and coasted through a breezy Tuesday night. (Click to continue...)

Ill Puff Hos
