Bar Buzz: Spring 2012 Week 1



See the [rain fall]? We aint stopping.
Keep on dancing til tomorrow.



Let the Good Times Roll. When asked what he thought about the return of WAKA Wednesdays, Head league Facebook commentator Keith Morehart replied, "Last night was ridiculous. And I mean that in every good way possible...It almost had an EOS (End of Season Party) feel to it. Great night!" And how right he is. Afterall... There was a live band! And a DJ! There was (freak) dancing in the rain! And most importantly, pounders after 11:30pm! They did try to shut down our flip cup operation, however the dedicated members of this league said "NO! We will not go into that dark night of the ABC laws. We will play our flip cup and we will find ways to dance on tables and get kicked out of the bar. What's that you say? It's just the first night??? Pssssh. That's rookie talk right there." And so begins another epic season of WAKA Peninsula Division kickball (and most importantly the Bar Buzz After Party).

Although they didn't make it to the top 10,
we couldn't resist this picture of SNB actually closing up shop

16. Just Kickin'-It

15. Just For Kicks

14. Kick Ass
13. Battlestar Ballsacktica
12. Foul Balls
11. Shake N Bake

 

10. Burning Bridges - With one full season under the belt, Burning came back to Luckies like they had always been there. And surprisingly, they even stayed away from their usual spot on the leather couches {they too must have questioned the cleanliness of said couches}.

NKOTB Mingling with this week's the Bar Buzz Elite

9. New Kickheads on the Block - Leave it to captain, Amanda Hassell to tell the staff at Luckies that "it's okay if we break ABC laws", "it's' fine, we'll just play flip cup in the corner" (as if no one would see them). But we here at the Bar Buzz applaud you fo your efforts NKOTB (after all, no one likes to be able to JUST drink, right?? We have to have something else to do).

 8. Peanut Butter Jelly - Perhaps a little inflated in the rankings because of their surprise attack on the dance floor, PBJ certainly made an impression on as new comers to our social scene. They were very... umm... social; mixing and mingling like they had done it for years and making sure their presence was known. As the only team in our league who has never had a chance at the champion belt, you'd be wise to watch out for their dedication and persistence because clearly they have their eye on the prize.
7. Chubby Gangsters - One thing that's for certain when it comes to the Gangsters: When it's not a school night, they come out of the woodwork like flies to honey. And this being Spring Break, it's likely that the presence of most of our teacher friends will wane just a bit in the coming weeks until the dog days of summer are upon us {Yes, I am purposely trying to fit in every metaphor/simile I can think of right now}. However, let us not forget their captain has issued a declaration and this could very well be a changing sign of the times for our friends in CG blue.


6. Free Ballin - The Balls let themselves hang loose this week, playing flip cup, keeping up on the dance floor and making sure no one mistakenly took out Mary Katherine's bum knee. Can they continue this carefree approach and make it all the way to the top?

5. Moose Knuckles - Well, they fun loving Bulge in the Pants are backkkkkk. And although they were off site for a season, the Knucles were quick to remind us what kind of social team they really are. After all, they've got some of everyone's favorite kick ballers on their roster. Have you ever tried saying no to Jiselle OR Nick Anderson? Yes, they've got quite the Bar Buzz season ahead of them.


3. Jagernauts & 5 O'Clockers - Ahh yes, a rivalry we here at the Bar Buzz know well... theses two teams literally dance around each other at the bar. Consistently showing strength in  mingling, participation and longevity. This week was no different. Clockers' Efird and Travis were back to their old tricks and not new (but not a frequenter of the midnight photo) Jagernaut, Joe Mazzitti took the term "RumJager Dance Off" to a whole new level. But who will outlast and outplay each other this season? Certainly, it will be a battle to the very, bitter end.

2. Chicken Tetrazinni - Now, I'm not entirely certain who Paul is {that's a joke, I know exactly who he is thanks to Maury Povitch} but when the Angry Birds are ready to party, they bring their A-game and I love it! CT has always flirted with a position in the top 5. But could their debut in the 2 spot be an omen for things to come?

The Lovely Ladies in Blue... who will win it all?

1. Rumpsringa(aaaaaaahhhhhhh) - For those of you who are "new" to the peninsula, you may not remember a time when the Smurfs were hailed as our premier social group. These past two seasons have brought sort of a drought to the team, leaving them to struggle with their place in the social elite. Well my friends, it seems like times they are a-changing. This season it seems that the group may have finally found their recipe for success. Who will be able to dethrone our first champs for the year? Will they merge entirely with their partnered alliance? Only time will tell....

Until Next time -- Bottom's Up!
