Bar Buzz Week 3

"Video killed the radio star. In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far. Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR."

While the rain's away the kickballers will play! Although, I must admit this week's party scene was a bit slim for the pickin's. Was it the threat of rain that kept our crowd away? Or maybe some delayed Labor Day weekend recovery? Whatever it was, it didn't keep the dedicated, (practically) permanent fixtures of our social scene from living it up and partying down. And this week we'll tell the story (mostly) in video because we can and because I've got to continue to work on my in with AMAH(F)B...

#8 Rumspringa: Here's the thing about the Smurfs,either they're all in OR they're all out. Lucky for them, this week there wasn't much competition to keep them off of the write up. (Editors note: We'd really like to be able to get some new teams in the Bar Buzz SOOOO let's bring it WAKA! Don't make me go back to writing up all the teams. Seriously. Please don't make me do it. I might lose my job (and several friends).)  Maybe this will help pump them up for their performance next week:

  

#7 Chicken Tetrazzini: Also known as the Angry Birds (to our Commish and in a more inferior kickball league whose name shall never be mentioned), this week the Birds were anything but Angerer and showed up all over the place (unlike the Colt's defense, sorry DP).  Much like the  Peyton's placement on the DL, it remains to be seen if and when CT will actually bring it home. 

#6 Free Ballin': It's to be expected that the reigning champs show up in full force to receive the Golden Belt (all you newbies should take note about our cultural "norms"). However, the reining champs showing up with thongs in their hands?? (or on their heads as the case may be). Not so much. Ballin' really is trying to take the Bar Buzz to the next level. But what we really want to know is.... were they clean?

#5 Vicious and Delicious: Still standing. Still partying. Still orange. But not quite the recipe they need. How can they make it to the top? And do I smell an overthrow a-brewing? We think they could take a few pointers on intimidation from their namesake:

#4 Jagernauts: Although still consistent, they are falling in the rankings. It seems as if their apathy is getting the best of them. A rumored re-alliance with the 'Springas couldn't even come through for the 'Nauts. Perhaps they should review and carefully study the habits and skills of the serious partiers in this particular video and well...brush up.

#3 Just For Kicks: "Close but no cigar." "Close only counts in hand grenades and horse shoes." However you phrase it... JFK just coudln't make the cut. They shouldn't fret though... it's still early on and we all know Matt Barcus and new sidekick Scott Duncan have got the strength to go on. But do we think their livers do?

#2 5 O'Clockers: The Clockers were going strong this week. Will they have what it takes next week to reclaim their prized possession? Perhaps they sound invite Helen and Nita to Luckie's next week:

(to the tune of 5 O'Clock Somewhere)

#1 Jiminy Kick-It: It's been a slow rise to the top for JKI. Practically unmentioned in our last season, the Crickets have been quite persistent in their pursuit of the bar this Fall. And this week they took it to the next level: sharing shots, "tearing up" the dance floor (one team has never made a Counting Crows dance off look so good). They also happened to find new friends wherever they went... perhaps spending time with Pinocchio is rubbing off on them afterall.  (What??? does that reference even make sense. Oh well - deal with it!)

JKI: Week 3 Bar Buzz Champs!

Worth Mentioning:
New Dude on Lick It - I'll admit it...since I'm partial to the purple jerseys, I tend to notice when they are (or aren't around). I'd like to give credit this week to random dude (I haven't yet had the opportunity to meet) from Lick It who's been sighted repeatedly this season. I'm pretty certain he's the only 'baller in the place sporting this color and so for that he gets mad props.

The Bartender's Glitter... Top...Bathing Suit...oh wait, we'd say it's worth mentioning but there was nothing there to be seen.

WWUS: What would the USDA say?

It might be worthwhile for New Kickheads (who gave another good showing this week) to join forces with Foul Balls (who consistently perform) to find new ways to break up all the Orange, Red and Yellow dominating the partying field....

Until Next time - Bottom's Up!
