the bachelor party

oh man. i got back yesterday from quite possibly the greatest roadtrip i have ever taken. amelia and i went back to good old washington to relax and see some of what that glorious state has to offer. the trip itself will be shown in 3 different posts, so to start it off, i'll tell you about the main reason for the trip: rob got married. good for you, rob. i wish you and your wife all the best.

so the night before the wedding is, of course, the bachelor party. and what better way is there to celebrate your last night of bachelorhood than whirlyball? its probably the best game ever invented. if im not mistaken it was started by the ancient meso american civilizations. then, when the popularity of the sport spread to edmonds, they added whiffle balls, scoops, and bumper cars. they also did away with the ritualistic sacrificing of the losing team. thank goodness. my team lost every round. but even without the human sacrifices, we still had one guy who took the game just as seriously as if his life depended on it.


enjoy the picture show.

This is the first I have seen of Whirly Ball, but I don't doubt that it is the greatest game in the history of the earth.
