LION vs ICEMAN

[Mudpuppy]

Nooooooooooo!!!

Dang, I had him as 2nd least likely to drop out in the pool. Already losing money and I haven't even gotten to Vegas yet!!!

Well, our merry band of soldiers is now down to 4. But, since Mudpuppy agreed to the Challenge and THEN backed out...he technically finishes 5th in the stepladder finals and will forever be remembered in the Hall of Records and the absolute worst bowler of the 5 of us in the 1st Annual Aslan VS. Iceman Challenge.

Now...if I only wait long enough for the other 3 to back out...VICTORY!!!

However, with Mudpuppy out...we have an audio/visual dilemma. He was technically our video liason. I may have to try to clear some room from my memory cards and try to film as much of this as I can. Hate to miss out on the opportunity to film what is sure to be the event of our lifetime...probably the greatest event since Bethlehem if ya think about it. I shall ponder this...

Yes when it rains it pours and it's a hurricane here man. I'll explain over a beer when we plan a spring vegas trip. I should have things under control or to a slow simmer by then. Right now I have to man the fox hole and try to fight my way out of this. I was going to just do vegas anyways since I have the flight booked but it would cause me even more issues.

Not to be morbid, but you HAVE considered that this is likely Iceman's "last trip" right? Thats why I've tried SO hard to get this thing done NOW. I've seen how this goes. And I'm not talking about Rob here...because Rob is still mentally and physically at his peak. But with Iceman...that "mind" has kinda been fluttering like a flourescent light bulb for quite some time...he still keeps asking about me getting "lesions" constantly...he once had an entire post dedicated to "him vs himself" where I think he just had a constant schizophrenic episode of some kind...I'm justs saying...he's a light breeze away from the neighbors calling his wife complaining that he's out in the street in his bath robe again yelling at the cars that drive by.

But don't worry man...I'll still be alive and kicking for at least a couple more years. I won't die until I'm 42 so I got a couple more events in me.

To Mudpuppy and any board members,
I just returned from 2 weeks in Las Vegas. My trips are for pleasure and not hauling bowling equipment over 2000 miles. My next trip to Vegas, already approved by the fun governor, will be Feb 2015. I like the part about adult beverages and meeting people from this site.

The only fluttering that will be going on is your bowling! As far as your lesions,,, please,,, PLEASE see a doctor before showing up to bowl! At least put some duct tape on them!

As for my past posts, I had no idea that you were a student of my threads! You flatter me!! I can give you some of my DNA, that I sell in small containers called, "The Gift" after Rob wastes his time filling your head with stuff that,,,,,, That with your spaz-o-physiology, will never get you anywhere.

This WHOLE meeting will not be just about BOWLING,,, It will be about RESPECT,,, and ICEMAN teaching you to clean up you act!

You kid and make fun of your elders,,, I WILL PUT A STOP to that, by beating the hell out of you on the LANES!! You have NO IDEA how many private messages
Ice gets from elder bowlers, saying how upset they are with your flagrante, disregard to their feelings!! Some even are now seeing a shrink do to your
disrespect!! YOU NEED THIS lesson in humility!

Its one thing to be Evil,,, its another to not even care! All you older senior Citizens out there, ICE will,,,,, with God's help put this Evil bowler where the Sun don't
shine at Suncoast Hotel in Sin City!! ( God as my Witness) This Lion man will GO DOWN, never more to bad mouth the elderly again!

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!

I just received today the endorsement of ARRP!!! I hear you have the backing of the magazine, "Dorks that Can't Bowl, But Take Lessons."
I hear it has good circulation in the Southern California area. NEVER see that mag around here!

I am just bring 3 balls.....

Deadly Aim

Byte

??????????? secret weapon for lesion type bowlers!


NO PLASTIC, except my credit card!!

NEWS FLASH

Ben-Gay, and Preparation H, Both just sent Iceman a head's up! Preparation H, stated in not so many words, what a PAIN IN THE *** Aslan is, and to kick his butt!!. Ben Gay simply said to apply the heat Iceman,,, APPLY THE HEAT!!

[MICHAEL]

You not not hear form me for some time, after tonight, maybe never! Who knows,,, it a long and very dangerous trip on bike, hit a deer once back in 1987, in Colorado.

If all goes as planed I will land in Vegas Tuesday, the 23rd! Then give Rob a call see if he wants to go out and get drunk before bowling Aslan, and his buddy Mike White.

It should be a LOT of fun, all kidding aside, looking forward to meeting everyone, even Aslan/John!!

I have the Prize Money, Big Bucksthat will be awarded to the winners! We will take pictures, and film a bunch of the bowling, and award presentations, for individual first place, and team First Place,,, No second place,,,, WINNERS TAKE ALL!!

Time to hit the sack,,, should something happen,,, UFO,,, or even something more down to earth, deer, or black bear,,, I have Rob's and Aslan's phone numbers!

Me and Icewoman will be leaving early in the morning,,, headed out across Kansas,,,, then Denver first stop for the night.

If I don't make it,,,, IT'S been fun guys and gals!!!

If I can figure out how to use that SMART phone my wife has, I will keep you all updated as to my progress crossing this beautiful Country!! Sin City,,, ICEMAN man is on his way!!

Will Rob and Ice win the doubles,,, who will win the singles? PLACE YOUR bets!!!

OVER and OUT!!

Hitting the Highways!!

[Aslan]

As for my past posts, I had no idea that you were a student of my threads!

More like how you slow down when passing a bad car accident…or when the gorillas at the zoo throw poo at each other…but, okay.

This WHOLE meeting will not be just about BOWLING,,, It will be about RESPECT,,, and ICEMAN teaching you to clean up you act!

I like to think of it as a wake-up call to Iceman. I don't want him to do so badly that he quits the sport. But in the short time he has left on this Earth, I want to do my part to inspire him to improve his game and really challenge himself. Not just bowl with his oddballs in KC and wait for Missouri to put him in the Hall of Fame. I want to see Iceman really improve his game, and really challenge himself. Stop relating on some imaginary "gift" and really get the most out of these golden years!! Maybe even join Aslan at a USBC Open as a TEAMMATE!!! Can you imagine!!!!?

Ice gets from elder bowlers, saying how upset they are with your flagrante, disregard to their feelings!! Some even are now seeing a shrink do to your
disrespect!! YOU NEED THIS lesson in humility!

All I gotta say to that (besides inserting a fart noise made with my hand/mouth)…is…and I only say this because I've heard this kinda thing a few times in the past few years and it's sort of a pet peeve…is to ANYONE that would take issue with me…for ANY reason…yet not have the stones to confront me openly or even PM me directly…thats just being a coward. Don't PM Bowl1820 or Iceman…I'm RIGHT HERE!! I promise I'll read whatever grievance you have, try to keep an open mind, and respond. There's no place in bowling for cowards is what I SAY!!!

NEWS FLASH

First…the use of the terminology; "NEWS FLASH"…saying "NEWS FLASH"…and then saying you're endorsed by the AARP isn't really a "NEWS FLASH". Wait…so IceMAN is showing up to Vegas with '3 balls'???????

And…just doing the math here…2 of them are bowling oriented….I'm gonna just leave this one alone since this is a family site and all… :roll eyes:

TWO days IceQueen!! Don't get that space ship looking tricycle of your's smashed up in any accidents. Don't want to hurt the innocent passenger Mrs. Iceman. I'm sure as your spouse, she's taken a beating already (mentally speaking of course). And I also don't want any EXCUSES!! I want Iceman in ONE PIECE to show up for the beating at Suncoast…or as I call it, "his first lesson"….or as he calls it…"his first lesion". I don't want to hear that his wrist is sore or he has arthritis or a headache or acne or a twisted ankle. I want him delivered in as peak condition as POSSIBLE so he has NO EXCUSES other than just NOT being up to snuff.


I WIIL BE THERE Mr. ICEMAN. Even if Rob gets busy and Mike decides the idea is dumb…I WILL BE THERE. The epic battle of good vs. evil is about to happen!!! The question is, "Who is 'Good' and who is 'evil'?" I had a poster made up to celebrate the occasion and told the artist to make both characters (Iceman and Aslan) as 'heroes'…not one a bad guy and one a good guy. That way, we leave it up to the audience to decide…who is the protagonist? Who is the antagonist?

ONLY 2.5 DAYS LEFT!!!!! STILL NO CALLS FROM LOCAL REPORTERS OR NATIONAL SPORTS COVERAGE!! But I imagine we can only fly under the radar for so long.

One more practice session left tomorrow after work. Then Tuesday, get home from work and try to get 6-7 hours sleep…and off to Vegas!!!

ENDORSEMENTS JUST IN!!!

Aslan is now endorsed by:

George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Jesus Christ

Just got off the phone with Jesus...he wished me luck (but told me I wouldn't need it). In return I do have to remember to pray for Iceman's safety on the trip and pray for his happiness before and after the tournament. Jimmy C. didn't call me direct...he had an aide send me a written endorsement. And me and ole Geroge HW (the good George Bush) talked for about 45 minutes about bowling and politics and just life in general. I asked him if I win could I perhaps have his blessing to marry his grand-daughter Jenna which he found quite amusing. I was sort of serious, but, whatever. Finally he said if I supported Jeb's presidential run in 2016 he'd see what he could do about the "Jenna thing". He's quite the card I tell ya!

ASLAN VS. ICEMAN CHALLENGE OFFICIAL CLOCK: 01 DAYS 20 HOURS 53 MINUTES

You and Ice crack me up. I really enjoy reading you two banter back and fourth. I hope you guys put up some video of the bowl off. Good luck to you both. Can't wait to see who comes out on top.
