The power of the Il Singapore Maetball was channeled directly into David Bowie's Package last night at Skinner's. There were many new folks playing last night, folks about to throw themselves into the Peace Corps. If possible, they were more obnoxious than us. And we were OK with that.
The Peace Corps Peeps took out many a seasoned player in the first round. Paper Tiger, The Fighting Mongooses, and our very own Baconshark, Mr. Is, and Zombie Llama all fell to folks who didn't necessarily know the rules. Tits McGee fought hard and got super far in the tournament. She beat some new person in the first round, had a bye in the 2nd, and then beat a dude from Milwaukee. At the same time, PJ Rhymeswithsausage was doing pretty well, too. After a first round bye, PJ beat some blonde girl who beat Fighting Mongooses, some other girl who beat Baconshark, and another dude from Milwaukee in the Final 4. Sadly, dreams of an All Package Final 4 were dashed as Tits McGee lost to Grim Trigger.
Grim Trigger seemed ready for an easy win, as he had defeated PJ several times in Street play earlier in the week. But alas, Grim Trigger, it was not meant to be. PJ Rhymeswithsausage served up a quick 3-0 victory, allowing Grim Trigger only one point in the entire set. It was really awesome. During the 2nd match, the guys from Milwaukee started taking pictures with a really fancy camera. The flash bulbs really threw off Grim Trigger to the point where he left the game arena to yell at the camera man. This, of course, led to PJ Rhymeswithsausage requesting more pictures. More Pictures! The Milwaukee Man took to just setting off his flash between rounds. So awesome.
And in other Awesome news, PJ Rhymeswithsausage also won the Street RPS tournament for the night. PJ had a few victories under his belt and had a pretty fat wad. Zombie Llama was also on a hot Street streak and had his own fat wad. In a totally legitimate and above-board match, PJ won Zombie Llama's wad and doubled his cash monies. All of this was witnessed by Grim Trigger, who had a small lump of money. Right before the final match began, Zombie Llama suggested a staged match with PJ to put some confusion into Grim Trigger's head. PJ threw all Paper to Zombie Llama's all Rock. Sure enough, in the first throw of the first Championship match, Grim Trigger (having witnessed the Paper-heavy match) threw Scissors as his first throw and was crushed by PJ's Rock. Good plan, Zombie Llama. The Street total was 92-59, PJ over Grim Trigger. And there was much rejoicing, as the victory paid for most of David Bowie's Package's bar tab.
Tonight at The Dive, the final match of the season will prove to be a make-or-break moment for David Bowie's Package. PJ Rhymeswithsausage is currently in 2nd place for Total Points with 78 points behind Loomer's 92. It will take a first round loss by Loomer plus a 1st or 2nd place for PJ in order to beat Loomer's total score. On the Street RPS front, PJ Rhymeswithsausage is currently in the lead with $394 on the season. But there are many folks in the high 200 point range and Billy Shears has $359. It'll be a close fight. There are rumors that the Street money will be highly inflated for tonight's match. A big money win could come from anywhere. But hopefully it will come from David Bowie's Package, because David Bowie's Package Rules!
