WGC '04

		Friday
Not exactly the WGC, Halloween.	Yes, I am a ham sandwich.	Before actual competetion, I was warming up with Shannon in the gammon closet and after he whupped my ass, I Yahtzeed him with quad box cars.
A true thing of beauty, and a harbringer of things to come?	Sho'Nuf team member, Shannon Wilkinson, examining his 1st 40 of the night. Does he look scared?	The WGC Cup and it's altar in NYC.
Of course, the Sho'Nuf team jersey.	Team "Fuck Yeah." Bouman contemplating gammon.	The game works. We had 3 simultaneous boards in action. Mooney couldn't not roll doubles, so Sho'Nuf took first. Up Yours claimed 2nd place, mostly thanks to Giles' not winning 1 game.
Billiards. This event was actually a 3 way tie at the end of regualtion so we had to "lag" to see who got the 1st round bye in the playoffs.	As you can see here, it wasn't Shannon. Neil got it in there so Up Yours got the bye and went on to win the whole thing, despite none of the players being able to see straight.	Team Sho'Nuf, morphing into "Team Tuck"
Sho'Nuf love.	Shannon, doing what he does best. I've never seen so many middle fingers in my life, as this weekend.	Team Tuck.
Much love.	Shannon cooking dinner circa 4am.	We all had to have reminders of who not to listen to.
It must be happy hour!	Neil sure can make a stiffy at 4am.	Fuck Yeah, showing their colors, drinking water.
Cookie.	"The Beach is That Way!"	Fuck Yeah, fired up, after 2 last place finishes the first night.
Shannon pitched a tent (the legendary smoke dome) on the deck for Neil and I. Of course, Shannon and I ended up sleeping it in all weekend.	Is that a middle finger?!? Why yes it is!	More love.
Genest, these next 3 pictures are for you!	Giambi, getting the finger.	The Lyin' King.
Who's nuts? It must be me. (Pictured here with 3 FLB Championship T-Shirts.	All the FLB Champs, and their shirts.	Squid.
Saturday
Next day, on about 5 hours of sleep, we had to get to Nancy's Irish Whiskey Pub for some shuffleboard. This was my favorite stop on the gaming tour.	The board was a shorty, meant for bank shots, but we made our own rules despite heckling from the general populace. Up Yours took 1st, Sho'Nuf 2nd and another last for Fuck Yeah.	The Port Authority Bowling Alley. Waiting for our lane.
Shannon winning jewlery for his future wife.	Bowling was tight. Fuck Yeah 1st, Sho'Nuf 2nd, Up Yours 3rd.	Shannon's future wife.
Sho'Nuf and WGC founding member, Mike Mooney.	Blacked Out, circa 8pm Saturday night.	Walking around towards time square, or the bar where (supposedly) the naked girls dance, or the Zombie House. It took us 6 hours to get from the Port Authority back to Shannon's place where we were supposed to play Euchre. We should've looked at our hands.
Bouman passed out in the power squat.	Looks comfortable, doesn't it?	Euchre was painful, because we were all stupid. Eventually Euchre was halted around 2am for two reasons: 1) Bouman was passed out; and 2) We needed to get to another bar.
Happy Giles.	Sober guys playing Euchre.	More passed out, squattin' Bouman.
Shannon examining Bouman.	This pretty much sums up Euchre after 14 hours of drinking.	Neil, eyeing the competetion, getting ready to renege.
Now, Giles has the camera and we're getting ready to start the "artsy" program for the night.	Permant marker, bad idea.	This picture made a lot of sense at the time.
Old Time Binge.	Old Time Mooney.	Bouman, still passed out squatting.
Shannon, wishing he were sober so he could cheat.	Picture omitted for family viewing.	Oh yeah, Miller was there, too.
I don't want to get listed on porn web sites, so this picture omitted, too.	Angry Binge. "Let's go to the bar!"	See, I'm all right!
Bar, after 14 hours of drinking. More drinking. Miller talking to Lester, I believe.	Thank God that's not real.	I believe right before I took this shot Shannon said, "Get a picture of what we're best at!"
The 12,456th time we saw Shannon's middle finger that weekend.	Ms. PacMan junkie on the left.	"Hey, what are you guys doing here?"
	Sunday
Amen.	The next morning we finished Euchre about 3am. Fuck Yeah ended up winning Euchre, which brought Up Yours and Sho'Nuf into a 2 way tie for 1st. In the event of tie break we were going to go to bar where the had indoor Bocce and play that, but it was 10am and the bar wasn't open. Plus Shannon was already on his way to an acute case of alcohol poisoining, so we probably didn't need to go the bar.	So the defending champs elected to play Euchre, which turned out to be very exciting. Up Yours down 8-9 (barn) Mooney ordered up Hearts on my deal, and Neil and I Euched 'em for the win and the championship. Here, the cup is being passed on. It currently sits on my mantle. See you all in Big Sky next year!!!
