Brewskeeball

Jesus, Donnie, and The Dude: Big Skeebowskis - sweet...
(Not pictured: Walter)

So I've been getting a lot of questions lately about this "skeeball" I've been talking about. Just so you know, this isn't your little nephews "get tickets to win prizes" skeeball. This is balls to the walls, beer drinkin', hard rollin', high fivin', screaming at the top of your lungs, having a great time skeeball. This is Brewskeeball...

One of Scott's friends from Syracuse had been living in NYC for several years and had gotten involved with the Brewskeeball league that had actually started on Coney Island but then moved into city bars. When she moved to SF, the folks over at the league office asked if she'd be willing to help start a new league in the city by the bay. She said yes, she got the word out, told Scott about it, Scott told me, I told some friends.

Now between Scott (Donnie), myself (The Dude), Brian (Jesus), and Peter (Walter) we form the dynamic Brewskeeball foursome...the Big Skeebowskis.

We are currently fourth in the standings, but we aren't far behind the top teams and all it takes is one poor showing from another team and we'll be in playoff contention! In addition to team score, I am currently 8th in the high rollers standings - I was in 4th, but had a bit of a slip last week. I can't mess up the rest of the season, though, because I am out of town next weekend and won't be rolling.

Anyhoo, the game is pretty much the same as what you played at Chuckie Cheese's but minus the tickets/prizes and plus beer...you can probably figure out the rest.

Here are some shots from our St. Patty's Day match:

The Dude rolls a 350!

Walter had the Luck of the Irish...he rolled a 380 right after me!

Donnie...hard chargin!

Tallying the points for our first win of the season -
too bad we're both horrible at math.
