For us.
For the teams that actually win games and come through in the clutch... it is still going on.
We lost in heart-breaking fashion, in the last 2 frames of the 3rd game.... 8-7.
I personally shoulder the blame as I bowled 2 horrible games, after starting with a 178.
1st Game - 178
2nd Game - 97
3rd Game - 120
Average for the day: 133.67
Average for the season: 146.0
To adjust for potential outliers, I will find the standard deviation for the sample, and determine if any scores from the season need to be disregarded as outliers.
Mean: 146
SD: 27
Range of 2 SD: 96 - 200
As all scores fall in that range, my true average for the season was 146. Not 150, but at least I don't have caterpillars on my face, Lish.

VICTORY!!
We (Kyre, Richie, and I ) finally got over the hump, in a big way, and won our 1st IM Bowling match. By a score of 10-0, we crushed our opponent, giving us momentum going into the playoffs next week.
Because of the blowout, we only bowled 2 games, not 3... my personal scores: 128 (horrible) and 159 (acceptable).
Week 3 Average: 143.5
Total IM Average: 150.3 (Still above 150)
Diet is going well, Jen is mostly happy and healthy (about as happy and healthy as one could be during the 7th month of pregnancy), and the summer semester is finally winding down (thankfully).

Bowling Update
Tonight, Rollin' Dirty was narrowly defeated by a tally of 8-7. It's OK though... we are pretty certain we can turn it on during the playoffs.
My individual scores:
1st Game - 145
2nd Game - 164
3rd Game - 180
Avg: 163
Overall Season Average: 152
Diet Update: Back on the wagon, doing fairly well, but it's only been a few days... so it doesn't really count yet.

IM Bowling
Intramural Bowling started tonight... and in accordance with Lish's wishes (rhyme time!) I will be posting my scores, as he does not believe I bowl in the neighborhood of 15o.
I bowled 5 games, and though I'm not one to make excuses... my arm/hand were falling off the last 2 games.
1st - 182
2nd - 141
3rd - 161
4th - 110
5th - 133
That is a total average of: 145.4
I will continue to post the scores, in order to appease Lish's evil desire to see me fail.
Overall, the team of Kyre, Mark, and myself lost 11-4, after a great 4-1 start.... next time Kyre and I won't practice beforehand.... and we may have a shot.
Diet Update: I fell off the wagon... soda is too good. Send me messages of encouragement (nice ones and mean ones) to get me back to where I should be.

How to Trap a Jew
For those who do not have a sense of humor, stop reading. By sense of humor, I mean tolerance of mild, jocular intolerance. Cool? Cool.
So, if Beyond Balderdash is to be believed, the word 'Jubate' means 'fringed with long hair'... however, I was interested in a different kind of Jew-Bait.
My good buddy Lish is of Jewish descent, and happens to live down the street from us. The trapping was more due to his place of residence, not his ancestry.... so relax.
After Mark and I started a war with some other students in my program (re: we threw some water balloons at them)... I still had 5 water balloons leftover on Sunday. Jen and I were looking for some fun, our conversation went something like this:
Trevor: "Hey! Let's go throw water balloons at Lish!"
Jen: "How will we get him out of his house?"
Trevor: "We'll bait him with Candy Beans!"
Jen: "He won't eat them off the ground"
Trevor: "We can put the Candy Beans on some napkins!"
The plan in place... we trotted over to the Harris residence. (note: While one may immediately think of Gold or "Buy-One, Get-One" Sales on Yarmulkes as appropriate Jew Bait, a little known fact is that Candy Beans are more effective.)
So, in a quiet way, we placed 5 napkins leading away from his door, with a handful of Candy Beans (SweetTart JellyBeans) on each napkin. Jen then went up to the landing of the apartments above Lish's door and I knocked on the door and hid behind some bushes.
Lish opened the door, happily surprised by the Candy Beans that had been sent like Manna from Heaven. As he walked away from the door, I scurried to cut off his escape back into the house and launched a water balloon attack as Jen dropped balloons on his head from above.
We then ran away laughing. Included is a diagram of the sneak attack.
