The Dude Abides

Bowling was just like this great movie
Bowling was just like this great movie

 

I’d like to thank all of the Camille Toes who made my birthday the special date that it deserves to be.  Those of you at the viewing party at the Banshee, which was fantastic, and those who came bowling at Lanes & Games on Sunday night, I appreciate it.  Also, you’re welcome for my gracing you with my presence.

The match on Saturday went pretty well.  If it didn’t come off the back of two miserable performances then we would have all commended the Revs for their gutsy road point.  As it is, the Revs have only scored one goal in a longer time than I can remember and the light at the end of this goalless is mostly likely Taylor Twellman who’s return is still up in the air.

The problem with this team is, there is no one to score goals.  Certainly the return of Ralston will result in some increased production but we still have the same finishers, and they’re all in a funk.  Since Dube injury last year he hasn’t been nearly as active or shown the ability to make the long run to get into a finishing position.  His good friend and counterpart, Mansally, can’t even seem to touch the ball right and found himself on the bench in favor of a player playing out of position (Joseph started of Kenny last match).

As usual, however, I’ve gotten to my post-game write-up too late into the week and you would most likely be better off checking out LE Eisenmenger or one of the other pros for that sort of article.  The reason for this is that the pros most likely spent the time immediately after the match writer their “gamer.” 

I, on the other hand, went out to “celebrate” the draw and my birthday.  Thanks to one Garrett Quinn for the gas-guzzling ride over to Our House West.  A great time was had and many Brubakers were consumed.  They live up to their reputation as one of the worst beers to date.  Absolutely horrible and the recycled bottles sticky feel do not add to the enjoyment.

Another set of thank-yous I would like to extend to all the females I convinced to buy me birthday drinks.  I will never see you again.  I would also like to bring up the small Asian girl who was hellbent on bringing me home.  You spent over $100 on drinks which was nice, but I’m accounted for in the female department and couldn’t take up your offer.  Every individual in my traveling party was willing to replace me in your planned late night rendezvous.  So in closing, your loss, Jim Duggan is an exquisite lover.  (In a related note, keep your eyes peeled for Dave Gelman’s new blog on the topic of “picking up chicks with lines involving Taco Bell.”)

This weekend

 In a quick update, Groton House FC is on a great run of form. We’ve won three straight league games to storm to second in the Division 2 of the BSSL and we won our first cup match in convincing style, 4-1.  We look to continue our run out in Lancaster, Massachusetts at Progin Park this Saturday at 12 pm.  After the match, it will be straight off to Riders Lot at Gillette Stadium where I will do my best to put off cool vibes and no go into World of Warcraft withdrawal.  Please come see me JRocc, I may need your help.

Sunday morning I’ll be brunching at the Landing and watching Liverpool even though I won’t be able to have beer and then in the afternoon I’ll be in the press box for the Breakers Game.

Expect plenty to come next week about this weekend and my recent purchase of tickets for the USA v. Honduras World Cup Qualifier in Chicago on June 6th.

    I am deeply sorry that I could not be there for your special day, I hope you enjoy the book.

    Insider, it is Oprah’s fault Maya missed the big day, I had her locked in the cargo bay of my private jet while I spoke to the twats at Duke’s commencement.

    Still impressed with your stat work last week. See you Sunday. Avoid bowling, there’s something intrinsically depressing about it. Post pix from your matches.

    I’m here to set the record straight
    about sex appeal and a woman’s weight.
    It’s nice to be neat and look petite,
    but if you wanna feel some heat, you’ve got to have some meat!

    Well, I think it’s great that Americans can choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can chose watching a new Family Guy or go bowling like a douche bag. And you know what? In my country, in my family, I believe that you should spend Sunday nights watching the exploits of Stewie and Peter Griffin instead of contracting swine flu because a 50 year old illegal Mexican pedophile teabagged the bowling bowl you are using. No offense to anyone out there, but that’s how I was raised, and that’s why I think Sunday night is a bad time for bowling.

    Rider Insider,

    You do know that when you go out in Cambridge, particularly Lanes and Games, you are under constant survilligence from the North American Union, right?

    Don’t drink that Brubaker garbage either. The corn syrup in that beer will rot your brain and ultimately make you enjoy bowling.

    Vidal,

    I will sock you in the poop deck if you keep excreting that sort of filth in the comments section of this fine football blog! Hold on a tic, the Insider writes about soccer!?! Why, that is just un-American!

    I have my bottle of lube here (menopause has made me so dry in the vage), and the batteries are charged in my industrial strength vibe, eagerly awaiting your next blog post.
