The Saddest Moment of the Games

Remember when Team Mayo (aka Team BMI:42) won and they were all too fat to lift each other in celebration?

Highlights of the game.

Here are my top 5 highlights of the game.

1. Dane after the games. Any and everything that came out of his mouth.
2. Nate Bauer and his unprecedented ability to master something. G'hed you joust King!
3. Dan Savage injuring his wrist on a premature celebration. What an idiot.
4. Jroski having to go into the freaking play house to score Trivial Pursuit.
5. White puking behind the bushes.


Here are pictures that don't really capture any of these highlights. Enjoy.

We will fucking see


The games inch one day closer. The court is freshly mowed, there are now obstacles on the frisbee golf course and I have been meditating for 8-10 hours a day, preparing for the mind grueling times of the Games.

I am reserving a quarter keg of Reading at the Brew Thru for after the Games. Everyone will donate to the pot if that is ok? Fucking, run it.

War. Peace. Harmony. These are the Kirby Puckett Memorial Games.

Why we play the Games....

Kirby Puckett Memorial

When the going gets tough on Saturday.... When your body says I can't possibly wake up because Chop bought me too many Chongers only 3 hours ago.... When someone "sends" you only because of your fragile, pale body.... When a steady wind carries your frisbee into the Stauss' open house.... When a migraine overtakes your body, rendering you helpless and weak.... When your child and wife ask you to please stop playing lawn games so they can eat dinner with you.... When you tear your ACL... When there are nails sticking out of the bottom of your foot and you're the only one not laughing.... He shares his wisdom....

"Can you all just do me one favor? Don't take life for granted... because tomorrow isn't promised to any of us."

You're right, Kirby. Damn it, you're right.

There's Only One August




A message from Dane Cook...

"KPMG7: Puckett's Revenge. That's Kirbinald Puckett Memorial Games, the seventh. A lot's goin' down in Chiyo's backyard. You got Team Dane, with Bauer and Carl, the Italian sub. He's filled with mayonnaise. Can they reverse the curse? You got Team White Oak, headed by defending champs Moerder and White. They're hungry for a repeat sandwich. You got Brooks' team, which will probably have at least one guy who's gotten fatter since high school. Can they arrive on time this year? Then you got another team that we don't know yet. A champion will be crowned on Saturday. Boys will be made into men. Someone will bring taco salad. Cuz there's only one Puckett's Bucket. There's only one leg missing on Dane's cat. There's only one AUGUST."

Feck Youze

hey taint-ticklin zucchini munchers: stop putting otto on my fucking team.

if otto wants to play so goddamn bad get him a fucking team.

double O is gonna rip shit, and i mean way more than ass type shit.

also:
trivial pursuit should be in the games. it's the quickest event and it's worth it. feck yezall.

New Lineup

I believe Mat Malone may not be attending. This is part of the rumor mill, so Heins you could help me out with this. If he is not, then the almighty Merv will be in attendance. Here is the new lineup of competitors. McCowan is also a slight possibility.

Team 1: Me, Bauer and Carl
Team 2: Heins, Walborn and Malone or Merv
Team 3: Brooks, Hafer and probably Stamm or Otto
Team 4: Moerder, C. Beissel and White or McCowan

I think it would be better to include Otto over Stamm since he has already participated but we will see. We could also just throw Otto onto Team 4 and nix White and McCowan. McCowan recently emailed me and he is not even positive he could make the Games. His commitment disturbs me.

Games and tentative schedule:
Croquet
Jousting
Bocce combined with Badminton Doubles
Badminton Singles combined with Horseshoes
Frisbee Golf (new course design?)
Tug of War (no cleats)
Trivial Pursuit

Are we playing Trivial Pursuit? Any votes?

The Games start at 10AM, sharp. If Brooks is late he is no longer invited. I believe he will be staying at the hallowed grounds the night before, so his lateness should be impossible.
