2015 Recap – Year 8, Flowertown

IT’S OVER!

2015 PUB LEAGUE CHAMPION IAN S

An enthusiastic group of 18 Pub Leaguers came out for our 2015 single event season at the Flowertown Pub, but only one would rise to become champion and winner of The MacKinnon Challenge Cup – Ian S !!! Congrats to Ian on his slam dunk victory score of 34 points – nobody else even managed to get in the 30’s. Well done Ian.


A group of beautiful Pub Leaguers!


In other Ian news, Ian C managed to win the trivia contest, and in non-Ian news, Jeff L came in 2nd place, although frankly Dear Leader (also named Ian) did the trivia questions on Monday and would have came in 2nd depending on how much he thinks he remembers from Saturday but I don’t think he ‘remembered’ anything because the questions looked brandnew to him but there could be that subconscious retention thing I don’t know? I think he might almost have been 2nd. But if anyone deserves it, it’s Jeff L. Just saying, Dear Leader was really, really, close.


Newcomer James M fist-pumps Teeter Award winner AND 50/50 winner Jessica T.


In other news, Jessica T finally won the prize named in her honour, The Teeter Best Spirit Award, for those that try everything and come in dead last. Jessica got her entry fee back, AND, managed to scoop the 50/50! Also of note, 8 years in, Dear Leader discovered the 50/50 can be quite the cash-cow if you open it up outside of Pub League & start selling tickets to the rummies in the bar!

Sample conversation, with a random rummie:

“Would you like to buy 50/50 tickets? It’s for a good cause.”
(slurred) “Shure, how much?”
“Just two dollars for one. Or, three for five dollars.”
“Shure, I’ll take one.”
“Great. That’s two dollars, please.”
“Yeah, go three fur five.”
“Great, three – okay, thank you.”
“Yeah, ten bucks wurth.”
“T – Ten? Sure, I -”
“Juss make it twenty.”

And so on.

Are Kevin W and James M out of sync?
Or are they… *NSYNC! Boom!

Time’s ticking boys, make your move. Make your move.


I tried, but I can’t come up with anything funny about this photo with Michelle D & Dave L.
Nothing. It’s just a nice photo of two people.
Oh well.
Hang on, what’s that sign…


Might be time for the barkeep to cut-off Tara M.

Jeff L contemplates how to spend his runner-up winnings.
Meanwhile, Jeff B & Casey W…

(a) discuss where / how violently to relieve Jeff L of said winnings
(b) discuss opening an orphanage
(c) wonder aloud if Dear Leader will actually have a higher
score than Jeff L when Dear Leader completes the trivia two days later
(d) contemplate if Jeff L drank himself blind and is reading the bills by hand
