Notable quotes
“They get another week to contemplate their fate”
“This is not just the first time I've lost on this game this season. It's the first time I've scored less than 1.2 billion points on this game this season.”
“I have to tell you I'm sorry it is 21 plus we have family days the first Sunday of every month but also our Fidei location has a family day every Sunday”
“this was repaired a few days ago. Both comments below were caused by the same ball trough issue. Balls flat spotting the trough's rails caused them to stick in place”
“Hand Grenades beat Horses... It isn't just in the real world where Hand Grenades beat Horses, but it is true that Hand Grenades got their first win in the last week of the season”
“we were cute”
“Nope we can't... even though he hasn't got you yet he's about to in a couple of shots”
“I have my initials in it three times with scores of over that but it's not just what i score every time i step up and play the fucking game right”
“what we talked about in Fall 3 last week was disturbing to me to know that our community and the sanctioning body of our community were at some kind of – we weren't seeing eye to eye”
