2AWA: Best 2007 Wellington-based Event

There’s always some­thing going on in Wel­ling­ton, and we try our very best to keep you informed. Being only human, there are plenty of things that we miss, but there’s no way in Hell we would have missed any of the things below:
The event that made me get off my arse the most:

Notional Significance: Two Tides

[See all Notion­al Sig­ni­fic­ance posts] The stream is now fully can­al­ised, a tame chan­nel run­ning arrow-straight towards the har­bour, as subtle as an engineer’s ruler. It once meandered across the broad­en­ing val­ley, softly fold­ing into the estu­ar­ine flats. On its left bank, the colo­ni­al forces built Elliot’s Stock­ade to over­see the new road, but the […]

WBL Round Four Results:

Holy crap! The last game of the sea­son is tonight, and things are look­ing tight tight tight!

Last week the Purple Cobras took the Bow­l­ing­tonista 471 to 349, pick­ing up an extra point for their highest score, while Tom from the Bow­l­ing­tonista got the league point for the best flair, bowl­ing without spill­ing a drop of his mar­tini held in the oth­er hand. The Furry Fer­als took Xero 372 to 314, which means they’re tied for first place with the Cobras, although the Cobras have a by-week this week, which means in the­ory that unless the Fer­als don’t show up they can­’t win the league, but I’m going to throw things WIDE OPEN and announce that tonight there’ll be league points for fast­est bowl, slow­est bowl AND best flair, and I know the Cobras have booked their own league, so we’ll see how things go. Mean­while Bow­l­ing­tonista will be play­ing Xero for last place, and the Mighty Boost will be try­ing to move up to first or second instead of third. All bets are off, except on us hav­ing a good time. 

Bow­l­ing­tonista: 7 

Furry Fer­als: 22

Mighty Boost: 16

Purple Cobras: 22

Xero: 6

 

WBL 2008 Round Three Results

I was­n’t drink­ing last week at the bowl­ing, so con­sequently, I for­got to pick up the score sheets. Ridicu­lous, I know.

But I can tell you that while a Dom Post pho­to­graph­er snapped mer­rily away, the Mighty Boost beat the Bow­l­ing­tonista AND got the slow­est bowl, that the Purple Cobras beat Xero, and that Fer­als showed up just to drink and cheer us on, so they got a league point. That means the scores stand as:

Bow­l­ing­tonista: 4
Furry Fer­als: 16
Mighty Boost: 15
Purple Cobras: 15
Xero: 4

Things are look­ing as tight as the holes in a num­ber 8 ball right now, so tonight will no doubt be full of excite­ment and sab­ot­age. But, if you’ll just let me put on my teach­er­’s hat for a minute here, I was made aware of some rather unsports­man­like cri­ti­cism last week, and that is not cool. By all means, talk your­self up, and put down teams as a whole, but repeated call­ing out an indi­vidu­al play­er­’s tech­nique, espe­cially when you don’t actu­ally know them is for chumps. And there aren’t any chumps in our league, right?

WBL 2008 Round Two Results

Last week was Bow­l­ing­tonista’s by-week, hence why I was lazy with report­ing. But my spies tell me the scores were:

  • Xero 338 to Mighty Boost’s 378
  • Furry Fer­als on 438 to the Purple Cobra’s 378

With Jamesh from the Purple Cobras get­ting an extra league point for fast­est bowl, the scores cur­rently look like this:

Bow­l­ing­tonista: 2
Furry Fer­als: 15
Mighty Boost: 8
Purple Cobras: 9
Xero: 2

See you tonight for more excite­ment!

WBL 2008 Round One: Results and a new table

bowlingtonistaSo much love to every­one who showed up last night (and espe­cially to X who bowled for the Bow­l­ing­tonista as we were a mem­ber down).

The Furry Fer­al Black Balls of Fury from Click­suite (bid on their auc­tions!) ended up beat­ing the Bow­l­ing­tonista by just a couple of points at 462 vs. 281, and the Purple Cobras took the Mighty Boost 402 vs. 338. The league point for top score obvi­ously went to the Fer­als, and although the Purple Cobras had sashes, in the end the Fer­als won best dressed too, for their ties and one play­er­’s gold sat­in shirt. Xero were on their by-week, and as I had­n’t decided until now that you can get a league point in your by-week by some mem­ber of your team show­ing up to hang out with the oth­er bowl­ers, they’re cur­rently at the bot­tom of the league, but I’m sure they’ll pick up next week when the extra league bonus point will be for the single fast­est bowl on the night.

So this is how things stand at the moment, point­wise:
Bow­l­ing­tonista:2
Furry Fer­al Black Balls of Fury: 8
The Mighty Boost:2
Purple Cobras:6
Xero: 0

After the jump, there’s a new table of games, since Xero have joined, includ­ing by-weeks, in which you’re encour­aged to exper­i­ment with your sexu­al­ity, or come along to cheer for the oth­er teams.

WBL: Results round three

Oooh! Things are really get­ting excit­ing now.

Former league cham­pi­ons Xero took on Clem­enger last night and did­n’t come out vic­tori­ous.

Mean­while the ran­dom point awar­ded for most gut­ter balls (chosen by Sil­ver­stripe as last week’s ran­dom point win­ners) allowed the Bow­l­ing­tonista to give up last place to Click­Suite – although if I could repeat my hil­ari­ous joke about there being no ‘I’ in ‘Wellng­ton­sta Bowlng League’, Click­Suite did once again have the highest scor­ing indi­vidu­al play­er. Ryan man­aged to beat Clem­enger­’s Dr. Broad for that title even though Dr Broad got four strikes in a row, and Click­Suite are no doubt weighed down by their ridicu­lous facial hair that they’re grow­ing for May­stache.

And while Bowl­tron had prom­ised to form into one mighty lion if their score went over 500, unfor­tu­nately that just did­n’t come to pass. They still creamed us though, even des­pite our attempts at dis­trac­tion with clev­er rhym­ing chants. League table and indi­vidu­al points after the jump.

WBL Round 1: the results
