Rockpile – 3-14-2018

We had a couple more 900’s thrown in our 9-Pin Tap Tournament over the weekend. Jason Maes and Mike Popowitz both rolled 900 series this past Friday night. They join three other 9’s already on the leaderboard.

Nancy Thompson and Audrey Maes each converted the 6-7-10 split last week. Good job ladies!!

Cheryl “Melby” Standaert put up her first ever “600” series last week on the Thursday night ladies league. Cheryl bowled games of 246, 242, and a 180 for a super 668 series! Congrats, Mrs. Standaert!!!!!

Evelyn Wallesverd from Wilson, bowled with a group from the Woodville area this past Sunday in the 9-pin Tournament and came within two pins of joining the “900”, needed for the $1,000 rolloffs. Evelyn bowled a 898 series!! Pretty good for 85 years young!!! Great job!!!

Irishman in a Parking Lot

An Irishman was flustered not being able to find a parking space in a large mall’s parking lot. 

“Lord,” he prayed, “I can’t stand this. If you open up a space for me, I swear I’ll give up me whiskey, and I promise to go to church every Sunday.”

Suddenly, the clouds parted and the sun shone on an empty parking spot. Without hesitation, the man said, “Never mind, Lord, I found one.”

Apple Computer Co.

The oldest computer can be traced back to Adam and Eve: It was an Apple. With extremely limited memory…just 1 byte. Then everything crashed!!!
