Rockybowl partiers,
Well the chef has pondered for 364 days before coming up with even a greater menu then last year. Prior to dinner his first course he will prepare tender, juicy barbecue wings from an enchanted species of bird along with scrumptious seafood spreads imported from waters never heard of before.
By the time the salad is prepared you will wonder what other wonders you have missed in your life, as you will taste the most delicious Caesar salad ever created, lightly touched with a dressing unknown to the western world. The toasted crumbles of breading will highlight the imported seeds releasing the taste that you will marvel about. Now on to the meat of the evening, so delicate, tender and succulent I will not even try to describe these different types but you will never again in your life experience the taste, which will be matched by the garden items to accompany this entrée.
So much to imagine I sincerely hope you’re able to participate in this feast.

I hope everyone is on a diet so I can have their share as well.
Coach
In other words, delicious hamburgers and hotdogs will be served. Enjoy!
Cousin Gary is trying the "Three-Peat" by using the same one-trick pony routine... that being, *front-loading*. Here is the weighting he gave to the games before the party... [29, 20, 31, 28, 23, 32, 30, 25, 21, 26, 24]... Clearly this is gaming of the rules so Gary can take home another Yellow Shirt... the only other person close is Underworked Erikson who, after watching the last two years of C.G.'s work, has decided the following rankings... [29, 26, 30, 27,28, 32, 31, 25, 11, 13, 12]. What the Noobie Erikson didn't realize is that there are three games on the 28th... so he broke down and started ranking lower (11, 13, 12) one day TOO EARLY. End result, it's likely that Cousin Gary's "different words, same old song" style of pickin' is likely to yield the Golden Fruit-of-the-Womb trophy that he so greatly covets (or as Gary calls it, "my precious.")
But hey, Gary's use of the numbers to make chumps of us all is completely within the rules. Aristotle may have a few things to say to him, but in our free-thinking Western Civilization, we need to applause the Capitalist maneuverings of those smarter weasels in our open society. You Go Gary! Wear that Badge of Shame like it were a mark of honor! All the Girls will Love You! Your wildest dreams are come true.
Statistically, though, this is a long-term losing strategy... though I can't fault him. Start Strong-Finish Weak... kind of like the Viagra you buy off the internet... works for a while... sort of. Like a high school mustache, you're the only one who thinks it's working. But hey... there is only 1 winner and 77 losers... so if you can't go for the big brass ring, settle for a lesser prize... that grandest of all Bobby Breeze award.
What kind of sad, twisted childhood you must have had. Social Scientists could probably write a thesis on the contents of your bedroom closet...
Then again... I could be misreading this whole thing. The weaker bowl games come first and may be easier to predict. Gary may be on to something.
So I take back all I said (most of it was whispered into my ear by Wino anyway) and wish Cousin & Underworked a great Christmas and New Year.
ROCKY ON!
I'm having egg nog with spiced rum along with smoked oysters for starters. Then comes the succulent, beef tenderloin; roasted potatos; crispy green salad with blue cheese; a deviled egg; and for desert, a yummy, moist lemon cake. No joke. I may not be with you in person, but I shall enjoy my party.
By the way, Numbers, I am hurt that you wished Cousin Gary and Underworked good luck and left me out. Maybe you need to check out the "numbers" again----or maybe you just don't want to wish me good luck. Time will tell.
Sis
Sis,
Didn't mean to single you "out" in this Chain of Fools... Here are the top 10 "Front Loaders" in this years' contest:
297 Coach Goodman
289 Cousin Gary
276 "Wrong Way" Wright
264 Underworked Ericksen
252 Nira "Sis" Smith
249 CJ "Can't Tackle Me" Stafford
244 "Call Him Out" Max Henderson
241 Jim 'TopCoug' Stafford
241 Mel "Trim my Hedge" Blackstone
237 My Gal Schlicker
The Number is the total number of points wagered on the games through today. In contrast, the 3yr old "A Later" Schlicker wagered only 234 points in the Pre-Breeze time frame. Myself, I wagered 179. The biggest "Back Loaders" are:
066 Jim 'Almost Never Late' Clarahan
066 Alaina "Belle of the Bowls" Potts
This Back Loading isn't the result of anything special... but the Magical Thinking of Amateurs. If you look at each of these Back Loaders, you'll see they ranked the games 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Completely missing the concept of *weighted* picks. But the Rocky Bowl doesn't have those kind of standards... nor do I suggest that they should. We need a wide variety of suckers, um.. players to participate. Who cares if they have to order in a restaurant by actually pointing at the pictures of the food?
"Almost Never Late" is more of a tribute to his Mom who gets him where he needs to be on time.
America is a great country full of all kinds of surprising people... Gotta go... 10 minutes to Judge Wapner...
