Wii bowling team

This is my bowling team; from left to right, Dangerous Dolly, Deadly Dana, Loftin' Lily, and Marvelous Missy, according to the embroidered names on our fuschia retro bowling shirts.  You notice the actual small size Brunswick bowling bags in which to carry our personal controllers, shoes, flask and Wii game disc.  The bag and shoes are personalized with bling; rhinestones and studs and stuff.

We really do bowl better with all this stuff, and, even if you said we didn't, we would shout you down and humiliate you with odd names and dredging up things you thought we'd have forgotten long ago.  Not a team that loses at anything gracefully. No, no.  We will award style points, effort points and fear points and take away points for having something stuck between your teeth, taking too many bathroom breaks, or forgetting a teammate's birthday.  So, you see, this is a viciously competitive team playing a win-at-all-costs game.

The term team is probably not accurate.  We mostly compete against one another.  When our husbands play, it is more fun because we don't have to be so cutthroat to one another, but, alas, that is our fate most of the time.  All is forgiven in the end, and we award real trophies.  

And isn't that what life and friendship and teamwork is all about, anyway?  Win at all costs, look good doing it, sneer at the underdog, and go home with a big trophy?
