Congrats AW on Best Worst X-Mas Story!

IMG_0446We had to go to a run off because we had such a close contest, and in overtime AW was able to pull it off. Congrats to AW, who wins a $20 gift certificate to Sidecar Bar and Grille, a t-shirt from phillyphaithful.com, and a large bottle of Sly Fox Christmas Ale. Dating Survival, who finished 2nd, wins a $25 gift certificate to the Swift Half. Want to thank everyone for participating and voting, and our sponsors for supplying the great prizes. Here is the winning entry for worst opening to a Christmas novel. 

Santa glanced from the List as Mrs. Claus entered, ensconced in an aura of steaming cinnamon-sugar cookies. Their eyes locked. After so many millenia, the ache still crept up his core whenever he spied her dowdy silver ‘do, her horn-rimmed bifocals, and the plump, fleshy rolls bursting from her frumpy gingham jumper. He stood and slid his fuzzy gloves seductively along her ample midriff …

Christmas Story Runoff Vote

Ok, so I checked yesterday to determine a winner of the Worst Christmas Story idea, and when I checked, we had a tie. So now we are going to have a runoff. Here are the final two contestants. Voting ends at 3 p.m. today.

#3 Dating Survival: The sirens closed in on the St. Nicholas estate. Inside, Santa hadn’t eaten in days. Candycane colored gun in hand, watching tv from his desk with a red velvet bullet proof vest on, he watched as five children’s hospitals burned to the ground in some kind of a coincidental terrorist act. The recession had really hit home this year, and Santa had to make his cuts too.

#6 AW Santa glanced from the List as Mrs. Claus entered, ensconced in an aura of steaming cinnamon-sugar cookies. Their eyes locked. After so many millenia, the ache still crept up his core whenever he spied her dowdy silver ‘do, her horn-rimmed bifocals, and the plump, fleshy rolls bursting from her frumpy gingham jumper. He stood and slid his fuzzy gloves seductively along her ample midriff …

Bounty Bowl Tonight

bounty3Ivan the Trivial has won 7 straight, meaning that the Bounty at O’Neals (8 p.m.) is now up to $30. And tonight could be the perfect night to win it, as I think only a couple of their players can make it. Assuming any of their players show up, tonight at O’Neals could be a great shot for your team to win big bucks. Just sayin’.

We then move to the Bards at 10:15. There will be a fair amount of Year in Review questions tonight, and the return of an old favorite for the 50-50 round. Hope to see ya tonight!
