Rockpile – 4-25-2018
The Hometown and Town and Country leagues will have their roll-offs this week to determine the yearly champions I will update the results next week.
On the Saturday Mixed League, B.O.O.B. clinched the championship. The “B.O.O.B.”s are made up of Dave and Wendy Brandt and Bernie and Peg Obermueller. They won the first and second halves to lock-up this year’s title.
Another mixed doubles held their championship match this past Sunday afternoon. The Sunday Nite Champs turned out to be “Out 4 Fun”. “Out 4 Fun” consist of Darrin and Shannon Tuttle, Lindsay Jenson, Dylan Dikeman and Alice Tuttle.
Congrats to both teams!!
We have one more weekend remaining in our 9-Pin Tap Tournament. At this point, we have 10 “900” series who will fight it out for the $1,000 first place purse. We will feature the roll-off on Friday, May 4th at 7 p.m. Should be quite the shoot-out!!!

“Irish Diet”
An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet: “I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, then eat regularly again for two days then skip a day. And repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at least five pounds.”
When the Irishman returned, he shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 pounds!
“Why, that’s amazing!” the doctor said, “Did you follow my instructions?”
The Irishman nodded. “I’ll tell you though, be jaesuz, I t’aut I were going to drop dead on dat ‘tird day.”
“From the hunger, you mean?” asked the doctor.
“No, from the darn skippin’ !”
