WCL 2005
The Whitaker Croquet League 2005 kicked off tonight at the Whitaker homestead. Although the number of participants was low, the competition was still challenging. Missing from play were the New Yorker, the Corbinite, and the Racer. Trash talk still abounded with the words sheninigans and Corbinite coming into play quite often. No one was present to balance the mallet on their nose. The tradition of making up new rules when one was losing was picked up by the eldest member of the league. I guessed he learned a few things from the first born child of the family.
Taking a commanding lead during the first game, yours truly held on to win game one. Of course, this did not happen without a fierce attack by the Georgetonian and the Tricumite. Game two began and yours truly prevailed again. Throughout play, the rules were changed. After game two, the Georgetonian announced that there would be a sugar game. Now I never knew you played a sugar game when someone had already won two and you were playing the best two out of three. The new rule was that whoever won game three was the champion.
Game three began and the outcome was the same. Thus, yours truly is now the reigning WCL 2005 champ. This happened even though the Georgetonian kept playing out of turn hoping to get more chances at advancing.
So, for those not present, don't worry. You're still well in the running for 2nd place in the league.
We all look forward to the next play date of the WCL 2005.

I didn't know bragging and self-promoting were characteristics of your nature, Mother. Seems you've been playing in Pace's fantasy land, allowing his cheap talk to alter your previously humble and sweet spirit. You may be the "champ" for now, but we've got a date in 2 weeks on that very field.

Mom may have won the battle, but the croquet war has just begun. You better believe that I'm doing all of the arm and foot stretching possible so that I can knock this self-proclaimed "champ's" ball into oblivion. I would also like it to be known that several people went Rover in order to experience the true joy of the game. Others did not.
