Winter Coed Bowling League
Bowlerina’s Report
In lieu of the regular “stats”, Bowlerina (aka Karen Lorence) has presented her first (but hopefully not her last!) colorful commentary/pep talk to her fellow bowlers. Here she has assigned team names:
Gentlefolk,
It has already been four weeks since the season started, and Bowlerina is contrite – I know I promised a newsletter after week one. I beg your forgiveness…
Anyway, I vowed to reveal the names of the teams, which this year are graduating from colors to something more, well, descriptive.
Preeeeeeee-senting:
Team #1 (erstwhile “Brown”) now known as ABAZUNGU
As we all know from high school social studies, “Abazungu” is the plural of “Muzungu”.
Here is that famous moment when Jon Wallen, the most famous Muzungu of all, greets his team (Max Sanchez, Jennifer Ringstad and Tom Harrington) on that first fateful day of the 2011-2012 season:
“Captain Muzungu, I presume?”
Team #2, previously known as “Green,” now ¡Los Hombres Del Feld!
Away on the horizon – what is that? Galloping across the verdant plains of Yonkers, the Magnificent Four ride to victory! Yes, led by that fearless ball slinger Frederico Feldman, Los Hombres (Jose Alvarado, Bill Coffey, and yours sincerely) have but one goal between them… and that is … uh… to… hmmmm. Oh yeah – win!
Team #3, nee “Red,” is now Caveat Bowleri.
Oh, put down your dictionaries, I’ll translate:
BOWLERS BEWARE!
Joe Schwarz and his team of experts (Paul Meissner, Steve Savard and Chris Canty) have formed a quorum with the sole purpose of crushing the opposition with truth, justice, and the Yonkers way. This a dream team of Park Hillians and Ludlowites - be warned, be ready, be…ware!
Team #4, at one time or another “Blue,” is S.P.Q.B.
Citizen Paulus Cecerus, with fellow citizen John Cassidy, Consul Ralph Farina, and Praetor Todd Ruben, will convene 4 Tuesdays out of five to throw the f#&k@ng ball and take what is rightfully theirs, id est First Place, or Principatus of the PHRC.
By decree of the Senatus Populusque Bowlerus.
Now for the Expansion Team #5, not previously known as anything, but currently signified “Lavender,” who are in reality:
Les Rois Du Boules
Mais, bien sur!
Monsieur Deane Prouty rules “Les Rois (et La Reine)” Ed Schmid, Cliff Hackford and La Geraldine Canty. They wave their bowling balls in your general direction! Do you presume to think they will not prevail?! Ma Foi – but they are un force to be reckoned with!
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen is the years lineup. MAY THE BEST TEAM WIN.
Actually, MAY ANY TEAM WIN.
Awww – SOMEBODY’S GOTTA WIN.
Yours very truly,
Bowlerina Resetta
