Week 5 Halloween Newsletter

Well, Halloween night didn't disappoint yet again.  Although I think everybody would agree that there was a slight drop off in costumes this year, the only losers were those that didn't get in the spirit.  Well them and the Sore Dicks (they always lose).  As always the BFBL offices spared no expense and sent Rory our intern out with a disposable camera to document the night.  So, below is our photo newsletter along with our annual Halloween awards (for those interested, all of Rory's photos can be viewed and downloaded here

The Best Costume goes to:

Gutter Done with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Nothing like bringing back a mid 90's classic that everybody is this league was too old to like when they were popular.

Second place goes to:

Anytime you can mix Mexican wrestling with anything you know you're having a good day.  I've heard that Scot has brought his Mexican alter ego into the office.  So, the next time you have an appointment with Dr. el Burro Loco, know that you are going to see "the crazy donkey".

For the annual two teams that come dressed the same award:

The Sore Dicks &

The Licketty Splits.

This marks the third year in a row that two teams have come with the same outfit (making this an annual competition).  I have to give the nod to the Sore Dicks for their interpretation.  For one the props put them over the top, but more than that you get the distinct impression that that baby was conceived using some of those very same toys.

Winner of the Peter J. Epley annual Street Thug Award goes to:

Everybody knows that the Cinqs and Crackz just went over to Jake's house one night and picked their costumes out of his closet.

The award for You Can Never Go Wrong with the Classics goes to:

The Mustachio Balls.  Let's face it, mustache's are funny.  It's hard to imagine that they were ever cool in this country.

For the best "Let's Just Blend into the Surroundings costume award:

to the Gutter Sluts.  I think the award title speaks for itself

For the best Sports Cross Dressing Award:

Goes to Glory Bowl.  Strangely enough this team also finished 2nd in the Wacky Socks award for the costume contest the league next door was running.
We have two winners of the "Two Cool for School" award:
I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter (No Photo Available)  &
Stop Looking At Our Balls (No Photo Available)

I've often wondered what type of person is cool with being in a bowling league, but isn't cool with dressing up and having their picture taken.  Now I know.

Finally we come to the two awards that aren't anything to brag about.

First, the "Minimum Amount of Effort that Still Qualifies as a Costume" winner was:

The Three Hole Enthusiasts.  Good God, I saw these same people dressed in the exact same outfit exactly one week prior.  I also know for a fact that Ben didn't take that shirt off during the week between the Buffet concert and our Halloween night.  Always nice to show up for your court date and have your lawyer come in looking like he just walked over from the bus station.

AND

The award for the worst costume of the evening goes to:

Forkin' Balls.  Nothing like coming for Halloween night dressed as 2/3 of your team.  The worst part is that I actually awarded them a beer ticket in a moment of drunken haze.  They may end up bowling for the Championship, but for Halloween night they found themselves at the bottom of the barrel.

Week 6 starts in the few minutes.  See everybody at the alley.
