Today's Action: Day 9 Results!

Game 1:

Beaver Patrol (Jonny Tal/Dovi) vs. No Time Toulouse (JParm5000/Jance)

"Hey, Midnight Swinger!
How's the world's greatest lover tonight?
Emancipated woman's own special delight?
So how can the world's last living Casanova be alone?

They don't appreciate
The fine kind of lovin' you make
On a scale of 7
You would get an 8!

But you're home by your lonesome most every night
You watch Johnny Carson 'til you turn out the light
He's pretty funny and it looks like you are, too

Irresistable you!

Hey, Midnight Swinger!
Who's got the heart that you're breakin' tonight?
A centerfold playmate or a movie-star type?
So, how can the world's new Marcello Mastroianni be so blue?

My what a long, long wait
Your geisha girls seem to be late
Who's gonna fan ya?
Who's gonna peel your grape?

Well it looks like another boring evening at home
No lovin' tonight, just instant breakfast alone
If loser's had contests, there's no doubt how you'd do

Undefeatable you!"

- Mel Torme, "Midnight Swinger!"

I could say something here, but you know what you're up against.

Pong Trophy Unveiled!

FYI: We are all unworthy!

Tippett Studio's own Andy Trickel has gone way above and beyond all expectations and created a brilliant pong trophy. The plate you may recall from previous years, but it never shined like it does now. It may never have been that clean! As for the mini pong paddles, the ball, and the pong-loving trooper figure, all I can say is: Wow.

I'd like you all to thank Andy for his terrific work when you see him. His creation captures the essence of the pong tournament and will be a treasured spoil for the victors for many years to come.

The trophy will be hung in its permanent place at some point today, on the left-hand wall inside the Grayson courtyard door.
