I CHALLENGE YOU!!

after the very enjoyable 1st mini golf of the year I had a idea... The Route 1 Olympics!! A day or weekend of competitively playing all the "sports" Route 1 has to offer mini golf batting cages air hockey bowling eating at Kowloon (what else is there? go karts? pool?) we can make an insanely complicated scoring system to argue about and keep hydrated with slush puppies. who's in?

Posted by jbcardinale on 2007-05-29 14:46:30 +0000
I'm in. Definitely include pool, bowling can be candlepins and 10 pin (big balls), not sure about go-karts, what about pinball and of course at Kowloon's, Scorpion Bowl drinking competition.

SO wish I could be there.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-29 16:35:29 +0000
Three types of bowling, if you count 10 pin.

I totally want to ink up for this one. (Sign up, not get tatooed I mean). Are there some proposed dates so I can start working on spousal clearance?

Is there duckpin on Route 1? I'd love to compete in the Route 1 Olympics. What a great idea.

Posted by jbcardinale on 2007-05-29 20:46:54 +0000
http://www.robinsweb.com/duckpin/duckpin-locations.html It would appear the lanes with duckpins closest to Route 1 are in Billerica. BTW: CTP was the mini-golf winner w/Glib a close second.

Of course I'm in. I can only compete competitively in scorpion bowl drinking, but I'll give all my best shot!

Posted by G lib on 2007-05-30 09:32:02 +0000
Actually, we decided that GLib came in first with CTP coming in a close second, thank you very much.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-30 10:09:35 +0000
Oh and also this competition: not calling me about putt-putt golf on Sunday!

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-30 10:28:50 +0000
Are there specific dates for this (wonderful) idea / proposal?

Posted by tendiamonds on 2007-05-30 11:30:16 +0000
I assure you that tommy and I have rolled at Collins Bowl. Albeit separately.

Posted by ConorClockwise on 2007-05-30 11:49:03 +0000
"we decided"?

Posted by tendiamonds on 2007-05-30 11:53:27 +0000
C'mon virtue, there's gotta be a strip club with an amateur night up there that you could throw down at.

Posted by virtue on 2007-05-30 11:56:01 +0000
Dude, everybody knows that those things are rigged.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-05-30 13:00:39 +0000
My best interests?

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-05-30 13:01:34 +0000
You get extra points if you get a tat that weekend.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-30 13:16:59 +0000
We could end the night with some dancing at Caruso's diplomat, and some carousing at the golden banana. Oh yeah, and we might want to eat at the place we always used drive by when going from UNH to Boston on route 1 that had all the polyurethane cows outside. (Or Kelly's Roast Beef - Im not picky)

Posted by pchippy on 2007-05-30 13:19:17 +0000
(All I wanted was a Pepsi.)

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-30 13:21:46 +0000
thats what everyone trying to wiggle out of participating at amateur night at a strip club says. Sour Stripper Grapes?

Posted by jbcardinale on 2007-05-30 13:48:29 +0000
Golden Banana is closed. CTP needs to call an Olympic Committee meeting to decide offical events and dates. 10 events = Decathalon.

Posted by tommy on 2007-05-30 13:58:16 +0000
So, when are we going together? Meatball subs beforehand at In-Na-Gadda-De-Vito's? Cruise Wilson St in my new ride afterwards?

Posted by mr. mister on 2007-05-30 18:45:52 +0000
we could always dance Brazilian Country at the Silver Fox!

Posted by pamsterdam on 2007-05-31 01:28:05 +0000
MEAT! MEAT! WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! MEAT! MEAT! WAR! MEAT!

Third attempt: Are there specific dates for this (wonderful) idea / proposal?

Posted by ConorClockwise on 2007-05-31 12:32:34 +0000
Frustrating isn't it?

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-31 12:48:24 +0000
no comment.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-31 16:35:07 +0000
I'm having a Pepsi One™ as I type this. Mike Muir would have been happier with Splenda.

Posted by Corby Trouser Press on 2007-06-05 15:23:15 +0000
no dates as yet - perhaps this can be decided on the upcoming mini golf tour - i work weekends so will have to plan at least a wife and small child length of time in advance so you should be good

Posted by MF DU on 2007-06-05 15:30:04 +0000
no idea what that is, but it sounds cool.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-06-05 15:30:25 +0000
thanks, man - I appreciates it.
