Fans Rush to Bandwagon as Donuncrums Foncound Fismits....Run Record to 3-2

Lakewood, CO (TP) – Fans turned out in droves on Monday night at Lakewood Park to watch the Conundrums manhandle the perpetually mediocre Fismits Softball Club of West Denver. The Puzzler’s didn’t disappoint, as a total of 6 people/animals packed the south stands in anticipation that the home-town team would inch their way back into Leisure League title consideration.

David “What’s New is Old Again” Brubaker, and Eric “Part-Time Waterboy” Swanson, started the game off with a bang as the lead-off duo coupled for an in-the-parker followed by a Swanny solo. All told, the Conundrum’s five first inning runs proved to be enough, as Dale “Frenchy” St. Aubin produced another gem on the mound, limiting the Fismits to 2 runs on 8’ish hits (or so…who’s counting?).

Not Quite Random: Coach Tomey rolls out new/improved defensive line-up, leaving team scratching heads, and reaching for collective graphing calculators and/or abacuses. When queried about queer line-up, Tomey admitted that, “this penny thing has me a bit preoccupied”.

Great Organ Hits: Inspired by recording done 35 years prior, team Catcher Eddie “Insurance” Layton continues hot streak at the plate. Said Ed, “My organ masterpiece “The Dipsy Doodle” is the perfect hitting tune. Everyone should pick up a copy, and maybe you too can be “Mr. Lucky” at the plate. Literally…the album is Out of this World”.


A Penny for your Thoughts: Coach Bob provided post-game “entertainment” as he attempted to set a Colorado State record (Seniors Division) by catching 50 pennies stacked on his elbow. Tomey blames windy weather, and increased weight of non-wheat pennies for failed attempts. Tune in next week, as new guy Brandon shows off blindfolded unicycling skills.

Internationally Known: The Conundrums web site continues to spread the Crunchchocolaty word across the globe. This site has viewed by people in 4 Countries and 10 US States. The Upper Midwest is HOT, while the Pacific NW and the North Eastern States remain cool to the ‘drums. In an attempt to drive additional viewership from those areas, the Conundrums are pleased to seed the following keywords into this week’s blog entry: Boston Red Sox Suck, New York is for D-Bags, Seattle Sounders blow, Portland beer is weak piss, Vermont = West New Hampshire. Thank you…TWICS Pubs.

Next Week: Come watch your Conundrums take on Wing Man, and their Left Fielder who sports yellow boxer shorts and knee high socks.
