Rockpile – 5-17-2017
We held the “Battle of the Sexes” roll-off a couple weeks ago. It was a “Family Affair” per say, as John Hager and his team took on his wife Jessica’s team to see who would take the bragging rights of overall champs for the 2016-2017 bowling season. John’s team dominated the event and won the match by close to 200 pins. Great job, Hager Construction!!
We will hold our 9-Pin Tap rolloff this Friday Nite, May 19th at 7:00 p.m. We will feature the four bowlers who rolled 900s in the tournament. There are two local bowlers, Jason Maes and Jordan Wink while Jeff Oseby hails from New Richmond and Brad Gregory from St. Paul. Should be an awesome shootout!!!! Come cheer on our local keglers!!!
I’ll be taking most of the summer off from “The Rockpile”. Please, if you have any jokes or stories we can use for “The Rockpile”, send them in via mail or email. Also, if you are a Rockpile Reader and would like to get your name in the Rockpile Reader of the Week, let me know. Thank you for your support!! Have a great summer!!

Irish Craic and Humour
What did our parents do when they were bored with no Internet? I asked my 18 brothers and sisters, and they didn’t know, either.
An elderly couple were sat together and the lady say, “I remember when you kissed me whenever you could.”
The man leaned over and pecked her on the cheek.
“I also remember when you held my hand all the time.”
The old man placed his hand on hers.
She continued. “I remember when you used to nibble my neck.”
The old man shuffled out of the room.
“Where are you going?” asked the old lady.
“To find my teeth,” said the old man.
Birdie with a yellow bill, hopped upon my window sill, cocked a shining eye and says, “What did you do to the witch….doctor??” Bee Boop!
