We are all ten years old at heart...

At least that's what members of team Angry Pirates are proving at our Wednesday night bowling league. You'd think this would be a post about strikes, spares, and gutter balls but, no, we like to spend our time at Imperial Lanes focused on this guy....


Yep, that's a claw machine. The one where you waste money trying to get an unwilling claw to pick up cheap, very cheap, stuffed animals. The team received the "player of the week" honor of the first week not for our prowess on the lanes, but because the AP's robbed the claw of 6 really weird toys. John and I were unable to make that first round, so you can bet I showed up the next week with a few extra $1's in my wallet. The result? A measly two toys from our group. But don't worry, we came back strong with ten, yes 10, nice pulls last night. All stuffed animals...no Elvis license plates this time. Player of the week goes to tall guy Brian for his incredible skill....6 of the pulls were his. Robbie, John and I did our best to contribute. Nicole and Nicki spent the whole time laughing at us. Oh...and I managed to bowl a 128 last night...which isn't bad considering my concentration was definitely elsewhere.
