Bruce Clark/CTAL/CTC 01/28/2005 09:54 AM Subject Pioli Papers - January 27 - by editor in waiting Mark: Chicks with Sticks,My ass.There was a guy with a big stick.You know,couldn't bend over. Garth,Please measure yourself. Mark,I hope this note doesn't find you doing your impression of the "Terminal" and sitting in the water fountain in place of a water slide. Only 3 players for our side so all sweeping was done with one sweeper only (me or Mikey). It was just like Garth was there. Well we starting off with a bang,3 in the first end but the chicks staged an impressive comeback to take the lead after 4 ends. I think Mike started getting nervous as he stated,"look at all the stones in the house, we need to get the bitch out of there." I didn't know if he was talking about the opponents rocks,their 3rd or Mauro's testicles. I would love to have this guy do my PPR!!! Mauro made a great draw to take a further 3 and commented,"Thats the first one I made all year". Team members make note to lower draw expectations for the rest of the season. Mike had a very good game after the first end and as he said he made 2 to the button. Mikey,picking lint out of your belly button I don't think counts. Another 3 by our side made the score 9 to 4 in our favour.Running out of time made it evident that we would not be able to get the 8th end in and that victory was assured. When lo and behold somehow they ended up with 4 in house with a clean takeout of our rock could take 5 and end in a tie. The rock was delivered and all was not looking good for ourside. Thank god quadboy had saved up all his sweeping strength since the beginning of the year and with mighty sweeping strokes kept them to only 4 and a 9-8 victory for the good guys. Team members make note to lower sweeping expecations for the rest of the season Mark,hurry back.The team needs you cunning,guile and buying the 1st round. Game stats: CTFS 9 - CWS 8,Lead and 1/2 87%,3rd and 1/2 62%(mid season slump),Skip 86% As their 3rd indicated we won because of our leads great game,Please refer back to "we need to get the bitch out of there"
