Gut Check Friday

Cornholers-5
Baby Gorillas-5

Your classic see-saw battle. Gorilla's dominating at the plate and 3K is toeing the rubber like a champ. I envision Maverick and Goose on the beach volleyball court, going tit for tat with Iceman and Slider (in one of the gayest scenes in cinematic history). Every fruity spike by Maverick is dug out by a glistening and sun soaked Iceman. As I reapply my mirrored aviator sunglasses and look across the net to see 3K spinning his laptop on his finger, I know this is gonna go down to the wire. And make no mistake, I will hop on my crotch rocket and drive off to Charley's house a victor come Sunday. I just hope she'll let me take a shower when I get there.

The SwinGERS-6
Client #9-2
Tied-2

What a fun matchup to follow. The Ger, fresh from a vacation to the Magic Kingdom, comes home to a nice lead against the Fighting Spitzers. He's running on all cylinders and if he keeps this up, he may just get back to .500. And don't get me wrong, Baby Bisho is throwing up some quality numbers too. This contest is akin to the extremely suspect race on the beach between Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed in II. Both giving everything they had, pushing each other to the limits, searching for the true eye of the tiger. Let's just hope they don't hug each other incessantly and frolic in the surf afterward.

Lawndale Longhorns-8
Year 2000!-1
Tied-1

I can just picture New Linc sitting on his throne in Lincoln, Illinois, pawing a frothy can of Schlitz, bellowing out an sadistic laugh (picture Dr. Evil in Austin Powers). Where did this guy come from? What looked like a rotting carcas a month ago is now the second coming of Mickey Rourke. Just don't thank your dogs at any award shows. Meanwhile, Ed is looking like the old Mickey Rourke after one of his "professional boxing matches". Somewhere between 9 1/2 weeks and Johnny Handsome, Fenway Ed (like Mickey Rourke) is toasting to innocence lost as he watches his team go the way of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.

Clark & Addison-5
Hoosier Heat-4
Tied-1

This is as close as it can possibly get, two second place teams forced to do battle. I am reminded of Chip Douglas and Stephan Kovacs standing shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the ring of Medieval Times. As I sat on the edge of my couch, riveted by the improbable showdown, I could not begin to fathom who would merge victorious. This matchup is clearly in the same league.

Tallcorn Cobras-5
Jimmy's Daddy-3
Tied-2

The feature matchup of the week. The one we've all been waiting for. An extravaganza, of sorts. As T-Dub and Hef saunter to their laptops each morning, "You're The Best" by Joe Espisito blares in the backgrounds of their minds. This one is for all the marbles (which at this point in the season, is bragging rights). And right now, T-Dub is looking a lot like Johnny Lawrence in the beginning of the All Valley Tournament, vanquishing schlubs at will. Cut to Hef, who, like Daniel LaRusso, is holding his own too, drubbing poor man's Cobra Kai's, like the token black guy and the overweight and underappreciated fat guy. Will this end up like the movie, with Hef throwing the old crane kick on T-Dub on Sunday night? Or will it end as it should have been scripted, with Johhny tearing Daniels head clean off and beating Miyagi to death with it. Stay tuned.

CO Yankees-5
The Rockpile-4
Tied-1

Speaking of Daniel LaRusso, Yankee Mike (for those who don't know, he looks eerily like Ralph Macchio) is winning!!! And not only winning, winning decisively! It looks like The Rockpile is going the way of Wes Mantooth (cue Brian Fantana holding up two fingers). At the beginning of the week, it looked like Rocky Mike was circling the CO Yankees on his ten speed, with Yankee Mike urging his team to keep a tight perimeter. As the week has gone on, Yankee Mike has sent a message to Rocky Mike, and that message was this...let's dance dickweed. And as they head into the weekend, the CO Yankees have another message...come get a taste.

T-Dub said...

PG, this was incredible ... you outdue yourself as you continue. Well done, sir.

And I can feel myself dawning the cobra kai black. Everything going my way ... and it feels that I will end up getting a bad deal at the end of the day, I see it coming, just going to well right now.

Daddy ... keep coming, kid. I welcome the challenge! Remember, though, Daniel-son was always working on Johnny's sloppy seconds, can't take that away from him!

PG said...

Yes, Daniel did catch a fly with chopsticks...he also wore white pants with a white button down to the sherman oaks country club before taking a bath with a plate of spaghetti (after seeing Johnny french his would-be girlfriend).

Unknown said...

Wow, this was good....

What does Stiller say when he comes in, "Como esta bitches!"?

Railsplitter said...

"The blue knight rules! The red knight sucks the big one! Down, down, down. Red knight goin' down. Down, down, down. Red knight goin' down"

Guess who the red knight is, Heat?

PG said...

Hey Como, you had to have worn an all white outfit at sometime in your life....please tell me you did (with the red jacket).

And please tell me you had a girlfriend back home (back home meaning Brooklyn, of course) named Judy.

Unknown said...

I am sure I have rocked the all white outfit, but I am not sure about the red coat. I will have to dig through the old pics next time I am in AZ at my parents.

(Of course I am assuming you know about the all white suit for communion?)

I had a girl named Tina, not Judy.... I did take Karate classes in Brooklyn at some rec center, but only for a year...

PG said...

Interesting....I am familiar with the all white suit (went to Catholic school, but was not a Catholic).

Only one year at the rec center? That's weak. I achieved brown belt status at a dojo in Brooklyn and even won a tournament at West Point (New York's version of the All Valley tournament).

But I don't care what anyone says, your 6th grade picture is SPOT ON Daniel LaRusso.

Daddy said...

Speaking of look-a-likes PG....did anyone ever tell you that you look like Corey Patterson?!?!

Unknown said...

I will admit to the 6th grade photo and the recurring Daniel son nickname that went with it for about a year.

But after that first year in AZ, that went away..

I remember your karate days. Didnt your sister do karate as well?

Sulceski said...

Job well done. I think it's safe to say that this is the sort of Gut Checks the followers of this site deserve. Very well planned and executed.

Now, allow me to buzz the tower this weekend giving you the upside-down bird as I rally for some offensive categories.

Highway to the danger zone!!
