Rockpile – 3-22-2017
Saturday Nite Mixed Couples completed their second half this past weekend and “The Pack” won the honors. There will be a roll-off between “The Pack” and “Kroxtrodd” to see who will be the champions. I will update that action after the showdown.
We have about 45 bowlers heading to Green Bay this weekend to participate in the Mens State Bowling Tournament. That should be a blast as the boys will get a chance to also watch the Badgers try to advance to the “Elite Eight” in the March Madness basketball tournament. The Badgers play Florida Friday night starting at 8:59. Go Badgers!!

Note From College
I remember this little tidbit from Doug Milune many years ago:
A young man sends his father a short note from college. It reads as follows:
Dad –
No Mon,
No Fun,
Your Son!!!
The dad replies:
Son –
Too Bad,
So Sad,
Your Dad!!!
You Know Your Getting Old When:
Thanks Mick Lauber of Blaine, Minnesota
• You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there!!
• “Getting Lucky” means you found your car in the parking lot!!
• You turn out the lights for economic reason rather than romantic reasons.
• Your knees buckle, but your belt won’t!!
• Your sweetie says, “Let’s go upstairs and make love.” And your answer is, “Honey, I can’t do both!!”
• You’re 17″ around the neck, 42″ around the waist and 96 around golf course!
• An “All-Nighter” means you don’t have to get up and pee!
