Bubes: Obtuse, Arcane, Yet Fun!

That was Smashing Squash's assessment of tonight's show. Part of the fun was the return, ever so briefly, of Helen and Dale of the Crabby Dicks. Geography and education have prevented the C.D.s from attending, and Dale wanted to play the show one more time before moving to Fort Lauderdale. Helen of Ship has vowed to return once her Tuesday classes are over.

Tonight was round two of our Take Me Out to the Ballgame Tourney. Our new top seven teams eligible for the drawing are (once again, in no particular order):

El Rey del Helado Frito
The Jon Shober Gang (new to top 7)
Team Discovery Channel (new to top 7)
The Nutsacks
The Jelly Roll Mortons
The Chubby Stubbies
The Tesla Death Rays

Two of the above seven teams (4 tickets per team) will be joining me at the Barnstormers game on May 21st, as long as they all show up next week.

Tonight's action saw a rousing come-from-behind victory for the Is It Against the Law for a Nutsack to Be Seen In Public team. Both the Nutsacks and the Chubby Stubbies surged ahead of the faltering Toxic Olives in the last round, but the 'sacks bested the Chubs by two points to take the crown. The Olives had to settle with a tie for third with the Tesla Death Rays, and then were defeated by Captain Jack. So they chose skateboarding as their theme. In fifth was team Discovery Channel, who combined two of their favorite topics into one theme choice: Star Trek Tribonds.
