The St. Patty's day recap.


Top of the morning to ya Laddy’s,
Any one who did not make it, and there are lots of you……BOLLOCKS TO YA’S, and you’re as useful as a lighter on a motorbike, or a chocolate tea pot. So that’s to say as useful as Professor Lucky trying to wind the clock to hit that 7 pin, Lets just say his clock never reads 7:00, and actually laughs at you when asked to find it. With only 5 Norris’s making their way to the bowling lanes this week, disappointment was in the air, as the 2 new Irish brothers were not able to make it out for St. Patty’s Day Bowling. But the air was quickly blown away as we finally got proof, that Prof X and Pool Boy are, in fact, not the same person. and had a head to head battle that so close the Professor had to stop our 3rd game to fix a 1 pin scoring error way to Jew the Jew….and all I can say to that is TOO HIGH…TOO HIGH.
So with this being one of the GREAT Drinking holiday’s of the year, you can count on the Lunch Money empting out his bowling “suitcase“ of all bowling materials, and filling it with enough Arthur’s and Irish Whiskey make a Leprechaun’s face turn as red as his hair. The inventory was as follows: 12 Arthur Guiness’s, 1 750 ml bottle of Jameson, 1 750 ml bottle of Bailey’s, 9 Lbs of ice, plastic pint glasses, and shot glasses, all in the bowling suitcase, that has been transformed into a mobile bar. It might be the most archaic, old school bowling bag bowlers have seen in 40 years, but when it’s filled like that, it gets nothin’ but love! We were able to grab the far side lanes so we had a little more privacy and a table to pour drinks on. So we did. First round of Irish Car Bombs goes off during the first game, which didn’t affect anybody’s game since our right lane, was so oily that even the slow moving but high curving Blue Tortise seemed to be throwing a straight ball. We could have done a commercial for “Soul Glow” with all the oil we had dripping from the lanes last night. Hell, we could have invited the G.L.O.W (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) Girls over for an oil cage match and still been able to bowl afterwards. But even with the booze flowing and the lanes dripping with Soul Glow, we were all able to walk away without a single Munson. Although the Tortise tried his hardest to get one, and used his typical anti-hype, hype to get Karma working for him, it was his true desire to see the Lunch Money get a 600 series that actually won him a 10th frame Munson saving Strike. So even though Lunch Money fell short of the 600 by 6 pins, Cosmic justice was served. We were able to continue our “Green” theme for the night and take a quick smoke break. Although we didn’t roll a “bifter”, like our fellow mates in Ireland do, but we did enjoy a walk out to the parking lot California style and came back in laughing our cacks off, and ready to get “serious” for the Money Game. But how can you take down Patrick Starfish on St. Patrick’s Day? Not sure if you can…..Lunch Money wins the money game.
Classic night men!
Thanks!!

Close to Perfect I think...

It was a cold night…The sea was angry that day my friends……like an old man screaming for the manager at the local donut shop that ran out of bear claws. But the Norris’s kept their spirits high, and their heads higher, because after all , hard work good, and hard work fine……but as we all know…1st take care of head. So the night begins. With a well rounded 6 Norris’s ready to bowl for glory, we had our team game in place, all we needed now was an explosion of drinking to wait…ahhhhh……what-da-ya know…… the 3 Finger Ringer makes the first move, and BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE Irish Car-bombs are down the hatch like a bolt of lightning, bright and impressive, and gone before you could blink. Now we’re ready to hurl a 16 pound object as hard as we can. And we do. And do it well. Pins are easily negotiated with this night, as the frames are getting closed at an amazing rate. Even the red box wasn’t slowing down our group, as the 150 mark seemed to be as easy as 1..2..3. High Five are flyin’ and the only thing falling faster than the pins…were the beers. After our 1st 2 games were over and we are ready for the climax of our night to begin, The 3 Finger Ringer once again leads the charge to the bar, where a second round of Irish Car Bombs goes off, even the L.A. Bomb Squad would have been impressed with how fast these bombs were defused. And so the Lunch Money game begins…..no wait…..just Money game. HAHA. In this game, production falls, so now all we need is a HERO to step up and claim the prize. Enter Pool Boy The Pool Boy, makes an amazing effort to get his name changed from Boy to Man. In true firefighter fashion, The Pool Boy miraculously picks up BOTH teammates, throws them on his back and carries them all the way to the end. Although Pool Boy was able to keep the casualties to 0, Lunch Money was able to put together a near 200 game to steal the Thunder of an impressive performance, and walk home again with the cash and squeak out a team game win. Usually this ends our night. But as we were leaving with bowling scores in hand, a classic scene develops….Mr. Rent-A–Cop, who is usually a VERY quiet, VERY chill guy who stands outside all night, had the eye of the tiger, and the intensity of an Olympic hopeful in China…..win or die….as he held his plastic light gun towards the newest edition of Time Crisis and was straight cappin’ fools in a unfulfilled desire to be John Rambo. He had the heart of Rambo stuck in a flashlight toting Rent-A-Cop body. Absolute comedy.
Great night men.
All we need is an official name for Alfie, and we are getting close I think.

THE RECAP....belated

We were 5 Norris’s deep to start off our seemingly 8th straight week of odd number of people to perfect upset the balance of the team game. But that’s neither here nor there. So the bowling begins, and we are pretty much as inconsistent as a group of bowlers with bowling shirts can be. We witnesses Munson games, red box pick ups, and some NASTY splits. Not even a gutter ball could keep the laws of bowling in check, as the lunch money(threw, but was the only one who didn’t see) threw a gutter ball that jumped out to pick up a red box split. Just when you think you have this game even semi figured out…….craziness. But then an explosion of people as 4 more joined the group for the second and third game. Thank you all for the contributions into the money game by the way, as 2 of them were brand new to the group and one was a controversial female, however, at least says the guy who won the money game, 2 dollars is 2 dollars! And she at least took her bowling serious, and the Norris’s lightly, nice mix Coach Chicky D.(As we called her for the night, and her date, Dude Jim) We had a terrible finish to the money game, with all contenders unable to finish strong, and it really was a game of who didn’t blow it the worst…..and the answer is…..Lunch Money. Who held onto a 174 money game victory! Great night as always, and newcomers IMO are welcome, they add a different layer of flavor to our already near perfect soup that is “The Norris 6”
Until next Monday men!

ONE LONG RUN ON SENTENCE

As another Monday rolls around for the Norris 6 with rain and flooding through out the cities the crew makes the trip to the allies. With no Purple lefty cause it is supposedly working season we had a surprise veteran of the group Pink Jelly (Aka Jelly D) make it out to the lanes. Even with two hours drive home Jelly makes it but the Purple Prof has to watch One Tree Hill at home with the lady because no one really has appointments at 10:00 for there taxes cause the State will only give you an IOU. Ringer Steve and Alfie made it out to make it an uneven 7 for the team game. With one lefty to take the place of Professor of TaXes we are ready to bowl. The early bird game starts off with some nice scores Lunch Money, Tortoise, and Red line bring the heat with Turkeys and top scores and yes and pool boy keeping it consistent with a solid 97 in the first game but did not get a munsion also the orange shoes were dry so no skid marks to distract others we on the lane. . Who got the munsion you ask who else but the Pink Jelly mark it in the stats sheet we have another person added to the munsion group. I welcome you with open arms Jelly. Then we move on to the sandwich game were lights were off and bowlers were restless. With the lights and return off for a little bit would it hurt the scores of the Norris 6? Better yet can we get another munsion added to the group? I would have to say none of these situations happened; we had some great bowling going on in the Sandwich game. Lunch Money and Toe Tapping Tortoise bring the thunder with a 5 bagger each. Tortoise started early but Lunch money finished him off with closing out the 5 final frames with a 245. Red Line, Pool boy, and the Jelly finished up the sandwich game with at least a 135 or higher. I think the arrival of the underage girls showing up next to us threw off Jelly’s game. Still raining and no bowl break for the Money Game the Bar closed to amazement of all the money game must go on. Two dollars a person makes the pot a sweet $14. The money game begins and everyone is staring down the $14 dollars it is in everyone’s reach early. Later in the game Alfie and Jelly have fallen out of contention and what do we have here another one out of the money hunt Ringer Steve. What Pool boy is not out of the money game you say to yourself as you look at the scores and Pool Boy is quiet? Quiet? Yes quiet until he blows up the pins and punches the return with a mighty bang saying “That was B’s face”. To find out Alfie tells B to throw off his game say something about his oldest daughter. The money is in the reach of the pool boy but can he hold off the winless money game of 09’ Red Line, and the multi money winners Tortoise and Lunch Money? Yes my Norris 6 friends he can yes he can!!! The final frames approach the orange shoed pool boy as he is being quiet not letting anyone know that he is ready to take his first money game of the 09’ season. Still winless in the money game Red Line falls out of the competition. Tortoise and Lunch Money make a run for it, but in the end the Pool leveling boy pulls out the 165!! What a 165 won the money game with all the 225 and 245 earlier? Yes my friends the 165 takes the $14 pot and marks one in the money game Colum for the Pool boy. Which Professor who shows up when pool boy is not there because he is tired of buying all the beer on his terrible betting schemes is still in the Money game winless club with Red Line? Well the night is long and the team is ready to go home as we ask for our printout for the Pool Boy to gloat more on his money game victory. The Dad behind the counter says you guys are cool, as he reads the names Red line, Lunch Money, Pool Boy, Pink Jelly who is pink Jelly? Then the quick witted person he is the Tortoise says we also have a blog spot would you like the address? He replies with you guys really are COOL!!! So to make this long run on sentence come to an end just remember even a Pool Boy can win the money game and yes my friends the Norris 6 is COOL. I will be printing business cards soon. If this bored you tough shit, Yours truly, Pool Boy

Chu, chu, chu, CHUCK...your lanes are ready!

It was a cold a quiet night….maybe a little too quiet. There were only 6 lanes occupied (including our 2) in the entire bowling alley as we started our first game. But by the money game, people began to trickle in and filled about half the lanes. The Norris 6 were both blessed and cursed with a one woman cheering squad in the next lane. As the 4 members of Norris 6 bowled pretty good all night long, we got drunken, slurred cheers from the completely hammered Asian girl next to us.(Who was sucking down long islands at the alley) She threw down Hi-Fives and LOUD screams as each bowler returned from their latest pin conquest. Just when we thought things couldn’t get any better, she dropped on us a pearl of wisdom that changed each bowler forever, words I will cherish and never forget. She said, “Any one can knock ALL the pins down, but when there is only 1 or 2 pins left, that’s the SH!T…..manic laughing……yea that SH!T is the SH!T……..WOOHOO.” You can’t buy memories like that, I tell you what.

With a birthday celebration going on that kept the Blue Tortoise out of bowling for the night, Lunch money was given the golden challis by the Tortoise’s better half to win the money game in his absence. And as usual the Melissa money game bestowment worked again, and although the Redline stared off the night with a beautiful 208 in the first game it was the Lunch Money who comes up BIG in the money game with a 210. Book it!

Great night even with only 4 of us!

Lots of laughs and fun!

Peace OUUUUUUUUUT
