Breaking News!


Aides close to Lubbock Urban Achiever Capitan EL REY DE PEZ have announced the formation of a Presidential Exploratory Committee. Rumors of his candidacy have been swirling for weeks in the wake of a plummet in Strike it Rich President Cookman's approval ratings. EL REY DE PEZ, a lifelong member of the minority Lebowski Party, has been President Cookman's harshest critics concerning the War on Handicaps.
In a statement obtained by Lifestyles of the Poor and Pathetic, the PEZ had this quote.

"If I may again state a prominent plank in our platform.'This isn't Nam, this is bowling, and their are rules! This aggression will not stand, man. Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one who pays attention to the rules any more? Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism; at least it's an ethos!.' President Cookman, we know how you think, 'Oh, here's a loser. A deadbeat, someone the square community won't give a shit about.' We shall explore and find out if the rest of league wants to abide."


In response to the Pez statement, the Nihilist Party had just this to say.

"We believe in nothing, Lebowski. Nothing. And tomorrow we come back and we cut off your chonson."


Many Strike it Rich league political pundits have speculated in the past, that PEZ would not seek the Lebowski nomination in March. Today's news sent ripples through the Classic Lanes offices, wondering if such a political shift is indeed in the offing.

Bowling originated in German monasteries around 300 AD. The monks had churchgoers knock down a bottle-shaped object called a kegel from a distance to prove their devotion to God. The kegel represented the devil, and upsetting it meant complete absolution from sin.
Gradually, more kegels (pins) were added and it turned into a secular game. By the 1600s, a version called "nine-pin" had become popular throughout Europe.
Ninepins was popular in the U.S. in the early 1800s, but because many lanes were located in saloons, the game became associated with drinking. Many states banned it, but bowlers got around the laws by adding a tenth pin to the set. Eventually ten-pins became more popular than Ninepins.
