Today's Action: Day 2 Results!

Game 1:

The Dooze (Jonny/Blaise) vs. Quirk (Stephen Q/Kirk)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but was this the most ornery game of table tennis you've ever seen? Did anyone crack a smile? Did one single participant seem to be enjoying themselves in the least? Did any of the players not look like they were in horrible anguish? Jiminy crackers, people, it's a pong tournament, not the Cuban Missile Crisis! For the love of low blood pressure, lighten up! I haven't seen faces that grim since Brezhnev was in office, threatening to blow up the U.S. every other day.

Jeepers!

Ok, where was I?

Raise your hand if you felt a little bad for Kirk. My hand is up. Not in a pitying way, but Blaise just looked a little too...oh, what's the word...psychotic in his quest to not just defeat Quirk, but to actually destroy them, and unfortunately for Kirk, he had to return all of Blaise's shots. For that matter, I can't be entirely sure that Blaise didn't finish the game, hop in his truck, and hunt down Kirk's whole family tree. The kid was intense! Kirk wore his lucky pong pants today, but to no avail. He didn't take one in the pills, but the York bloodline was ended by a shot that whistled through the center of Kirk's paddle.

Someone please ask Andy to show up to the next Dooze game with the studio tranquilizer gun...

The Dooze over Quirk
21-9


Game 2:

Weenie Beenie (Jess/Nate) vs. Junkiebone (Joel/Doug)

Ever seen a man dislocate his elbow...again and again and again? Watch Nate Reid serve and you can answer that question in the affirmative. He's one of the few players on the tour who does a full-body serve. I'm guessing that even his toes curl up in some sort of odd configuration before he unfurls that service. Holy!

And while we're here asking all sorts of questions, has any one seen this model Joel since he won the tournament back in 2003? Dude, the guy was smoking hot and laser-accurate. Seriously, he hasn't been this sharp in a while, and Doug, who hasn't been seen on the court at all since 2003, is certainly the beneficiary of Joel's refocus.

Junkiebone took this one, but only a fool counts out Weenie Beenie. Once Jess bScrews his game back up to rat 1, it's going to get nutty.

Junkiebone over Weenie Beenie
21-16
