On March 25 we played our sixth league night of Season 22, wrapping up the bank rotation between Bank 5, “Argo Navis,” and Bank 6, “Cetus.” As I arrived, Devon told me he had been waiting for a recap of March Hare Madness and was disappointed not to see one. I actually felt really bad about this. I had just barely had enough time to write the previous league night’s recap but had not been able to pound out the MHM recap yet. I reassured him that I was still planning to write it. When I gave the night’s announcements, I thanked everyone for coming to March Hare Madness and commented that Devon was disappointed I hadn’t written the recap yet but that I hoped to get to it soon. Later, Devon came up to me and gave me a hard time for busting his chops about asking for a recap. I explained that I legitimately had not intended to come off as saying “Well Devon here complained about not getting a recap, what a whiner,” but instead was trying to be apologetic as I legitimately felt bad about it! Anyway, that’s the kind of misunderstanding that happens when your relationship is mostly built on trash talking. More on that later. As of this writing I still have not recapped MHM.
In Bank 6, we had to substitute John Wick for Stranger Things, the latest in an unfortunate series of mid-rotation substitutions we have had to make this season. It’s been unlucky that way and while we have a way to deal with it in the league scoring, it’s not ideal. Bank 5 fortunately stayed intact and we will play both John Wick and Stranger Things in Bank 8 so everyone will still get to play them at least once (fingers crossed).
Danny took the top score on both Bank 6 and 7, and is also number one in the overall standings. In second place is Tim, and in third is Josh, as we head into the final bank rotation.
Our Smackdown game was the new addition Pulp Fiction, and Peter streamed it for us as he has been doing lately. During the finals, Devon commented that it was a “D heavy finals” since Dan, Derik, and Devon were all playing. I said, “Well, that’s only three people” and he said “three out of four!” I gestured at the B division game on Getaway that I was part of and said, “Excuse me, eight.” He replied, “Oh, well, I’m sure your little B division is very fun…” in the most condescending voice he could summon and I replied with something I will not write in this blog as Joseph would disapprove.
Tonight we will be starting the final rotation of the season, with games that have either not made it into play yet or that have been switched out for backups earlier in the season. See you all soon!
