Theorizing

Brent Mackintosh, future Italian citizen, deftly organized a Thursday Theory at Tanks this week. Seven folks showed up, including the likes of Matt, Peter, Tim, Glen, Republican Dave and Nurse Chris. Kurt, who was taken ill, missed maybe his second theory of the year.

(After a general round of well wishing on Kurt's behalf, the assembled wifflers preceded to make him the butt of many jokes and laughs. We never toasted his beloved Cardinals, either.)

There were multiple pitchers of Yuengling shared by all (except for.. Chris, who insisted on Sam Adams). May I say at this point, I do not understand how you folks can take in that much beer? My half mug had my stomach in knots the rest of the night.



And there was good discussion of ways to make the stats reflect one's Theory attendance. The stats should measure the things we value, and The Oakwood Wiffle and Ale Club values Theory attendance. Can't we find a way to factor that into your batting average? There were also good suggestions from Peter and Glen, who insisted it was his idea in the first place.


Note that Brent is not fully in the picture, here. This is because he was intermittently dealing with the Tank's crack staff scheduling....

The Wiffies!!!! 

Yes, mark your calendars for the 4th Annual Wiffie Banquet: January 13, 2012.  
Special guests scheduled to appear... don't miss it!!!

  1. Missed a good one, Kurt. What was the illness, gout? The sweating sickness? Perhaps a recurrence of malaria from your years in the "bush."

  3. Matt, perhaps your discomfort was caused by the onions dipped in instant batter and deep fried in Crisco? Just a thought.

  4. Onion rings? Oh, you mean the fried yarmulkes I ate. Yes, that may have been it.
