Fall Big Turkey Bowling at Imperial Wednesdays 7pm

After weeks and weeks of nail-biting anticipation, the championship night finally arrived at Fall Big Turkey Bowling at Imperial Lanes this past Wednesday night. Even though there was beer, fat Tuesday masks and beads, and even chocolate cake being passed around the lanes, there were four teams that came to play and win. But only one team could walk away as the victorious champs.

Poppycocks and Set ‘Em Up, Knock ‘Em Down went head to head while Clown Balls took on Misfit Toys in the first round of the championship games. Clown Balls got off to a rocky start, and their shiny Mardi Gras beads seemed to be more of a hindrance than a help. Abbey (also known as Count Chocula) with Misfit Toys bowled an impressive 141 to lead her team to the championship game (along with Tony Tiger/Annie’s 104, Frankenberry/David’s 118 and Magically Delicious/Jon’s 115…why am I craving Fruit Loops all of a sudden?) while the Clown Balls hung their heads in defeat and ordered another round of pitchers to ease the pain. SEUKED went in with high hopes against the infamous Poppycocks; they knew it would be a tough match-up! But SEUKED brought their A-game! The fabulous Mike emerged as the team leader with a score of 168; Brian was right behind him at 156. Combined with 116 from both Lauren AND Robin, Set ‘Em Up upset the Poppycocks to make it to the final round!

Tension was high between SEUKED and Misfit Toys; we would have cut the tension with a knife except that we needed it to cut Daniel’s (from There’s No I In Bowling) birthday cake. Abbey (Count Chocula) again pulled through for her team with a score of 160 (seven spares and a strike! Incredible!); John (Toucan Sam) tried to keep up at 139 by nailing five spares in a row to start the game off; but the sugar-high from their cereal just wasn’t enough. SEUKED at a team managed to grab 15 strikes and 21 spares!! They were on fire, with Anna scoring 113, Lauren pulling off 148, Brian coming in strong with 183, and the Fabulous Mike carrying the team with a score of 196! They’ve deemed themselves ready for the PGA as they walked away the League Champions! Congratulations Set ‘Em Up, Knock ‘Em Down!!
