2008 ‘Events Bracket’ World Class Universal Championship of Everything
First Round Matchups
(left side)
Match 1:
(1)Rudy Day
Vs.
(16) Play In Winner (Pirate Mike’s Continued Pirating Vs. The JMU Mike Pizzone Incident)
The case for Rudy Day: Its not every day you have a holiday thrown in your honor…and definitely not one that’s sprung in secret. I was prepared for yet another summer cookout but I instead came home to insanity…complete with custom shirts with my face on them, ping pong balls also with said image, cheesy roll-ups from Taco Bell, Streamers, Balloons, Bags containing my favorite liquors in airplane shots to hand out to guests, beer olympics. You can see why this is the one that goes against the play-in game.
Play In Game: You know its going to lose…but here is the match up.
Pirate Mike’s Pirating: Its how he got his nickname…Pirate mike currently has all of the awards show copies of all of the picture of the year nominees…yeah…he’s that good…
The Pizzone Incident: Also known as the order heard round the world and the $1 that almost tore holes in friendships. JMU Mike decided that he would try to add on a Pizzone to our pizza hut order…only catch….he’ll only get the pizzone if he gets to pay $1 for it…I order a full pizza for $15 but he will only get the pizzone if he gets it with the deal for $1.
This analyst predicts: Rudy Day…All day….and Pirate Mike taking the play in.
Match 2:
(8)The Christina ‘Steve’ Saga
Vs.
(9)The Hesters
The Steve Saga:
It started when she came over and someone misheard her name…from then on…she has been known as Steve. I realized the damage my shit talk is capable…it started like any other night of my showboating shit talking sarcastic beer pong style…it ended in me launching balls from down the hall and beating her…Round 1…me. Next she came over and i bet that i could beat her with my eyes closed for a whole game and if she won i would pay her bar tab next time we went out…Well…between beating her…and conducting a post-game interview…she was not happy…the last straw was a sarcastic facebooking incident leading ultimately to a de-friending…who thought that making fun of a girl for throwing up in a hallway…making fun of beer pong skills and the such would have an adverse affect on a relationship. A few months ago the feud came to an end with a Middle East peace agreement style handshake…
The Hesters:
Key organizers of Rudy Day…Killer High Fives…Lack of driving skills…Niceness…Fluent Spanish…Sister Dating…Long-Term girlfriend…drunkness…a great round of never have i ever…the owning of an outer banks island…it runs the entire gambit..
Prediction: The Hesters….its not often for someone to loath me as much as steve did at one time…but its the Hesters we are talking about…a direct impact felt on 215 and fairfax towers as a whole.
Match 3:
(6)Club 215 opens its doors
Vs.
(11)Summer Cookouts
Club 215:
Has become an every weekend staple…known throughout fairfax towers…founding memebers Ant, Rudy, Pirate Mike….eventually has started to merge with 516 to make a super-club the likes of which have never been seen. Also worth noting..lead to the hesters.
Summer Cookouts:
Noise Violation on 4th of July…enough said really…oh throw in Ant’s diving off of a life guard chair and going to a hospital…awesome burgers and JMU Mike relations. Debut of Chris T. , Rhonda’s Birthday…
Prediction: Cookouts…so much happened.
Match 4:
(4) Obama
Vs.
(13) Bodily Injury Suffered
Bodily Injury: I almost broke my arm at work when a pallet about 7-8 feet up fell on me…Ant went to the hospital twice cementing water as his personal kryptonite…once with a broken bottle winning over flesh…the second involved the bottom of a swimming pool winning out over…well…his face.
Obama: Obama fever swept the nation and the first black president was elected.
Prediction: Bodily Harm…what the hell has Obama done in 08…nothing…just stirred the pot…shame on you Obama…get back to me when you achieve something…eh..eh…am i right or what…Bodily Harm directly effected me and my group of friends.
(Right side)
Match 1
(2)Working Overnight
Vs.
(15)Accidental Abstinence
Overnight: There would be no Rudy Day without me being overnight…no blog…no raise…big impact indeed.
Accidental Abstinence: While it is a product of being overnight my streak of 6 months is impressive non the less…
Prediction: Overnight hands down.
Match 2:
(7)Ultra bar/NOVA bear grylls/how i got my iPhone
Vs.
(10)Vegas
Ultra Bar: Involved me getting rejected 16Xs in a row by women…leading to me taking the metro back without telling anyone…cab with suspended license dropped me off and i got lost in the woods…lost my phone and entered the apartment a broken man.
Vegas: Skydiving…Much Money Made…Strip Clubs…VIP Tables….Giving beer to the homless…the trip had it all.
Vote: Vegas
Match 3
My favorite match-up of the tourney.
(5)The Beach Trip
Vs.
(12)Pirate Mike…”Little Guy” Jokes
The Beach: The real world style video was shot…ant’s life was in shambles…double digit beers consumed in about an hour and a half…Using bangarang as a war cry against high school kids…lack of women….MixedAssRaechel even makes an appearance.
Little guy: If you’ve been reading this blog you know about little guy jokes…Mike being in a sailor outfit on Navy Pier…Mike taking is Fisher Price Plastic Red and Yellow car into garages for emission tests…Hitting an unsuspected little guy in the head with a large snowball knocking off his glasses and beanie….the propeller hat.
Vote: But i’m saying though…i smell an upset.
Match 4:
(3)Wild Out 2009
Vs.
(14)Life in shambles
Wild Out 2009: Coming in as the latest possible entry despite its hard pronunciation of the ‘D’ in wild. A night of drunkenness. A night of dancing. A night of imitating bouncers. Random snap decisions leading to yet another cab ride for me. The start of a new year.
Life In Shambles: I can’t count the number of times i heard ant say that his life was in shambles…and i can’t count the number of times he picked up those scraps and came back stronger than ever. Plus he has announced the phrases retirement effective as of ’09.
Vote: We Wilded out like it was still 08
Well that’s it for the first round match-ups for the Events category….Tomorrow or Sat. after tallies of votes and after i write the next bracket i will do blow by blow commentary on each matchup…as well as post game thoughts.
Lets get the votes in!
