I

1985

Rotundos

Smythe

Bol

The Inaugural McGriff - Who could have predicted the future lunacy that would result? Wooden board, wooden darts and lots of staaaaaarch. Bo'l can you play with those 14 stitches in your back? Smythe wins, gets Jizz. "One dart does not the smolder make."

II

1986

Minnesota

Bol

Klaus

The Forgotten McGriff - Nobody showed. Klaus loses the final match and is then shoved by Bol through the kitchen window. Falling glass shards damage Smythe's car...too bad! Railing left dangling from front porch. The beginning of the Bol Dynasty.

 

III

1987

Highgate

B. Hoffman

Caaaaaal

Whore and Friend-of-Whore (FOW) wreak havoc by shattering glass door on shower. Hoffman wins and never returns. Caaaal begins a long career as a bridesmaid despite his patented "quick release."

 

IV

1988

Amy's Place

Bol

Myers

The Cheese McGriff - More cheese, bring on the cheese!!! Millie the wonder dog has a sickening feast. The smelliest house in the history of McGriff. Bol wins despite trip to the emergency room and stitches in his back. The wooden darts make their final appearance.

V

1989

Amy's Place

Pitlick

Caaaaaal

The Eviction McGriff - Max Load and the Cherry Busters are in rare form. About a dozen of Buffalo's finest join the party. Slug is evicted three days later. Caaaal falls shy again because Pitlick is sober.

VI

1990

The Young Ones'

Bol

McFly

The Last Household McGriff - McFly's one and only chance to be a contender is denied. The Splint McGriff Executive Committee is formed. Basement band is terrible but results in the birth of Tom the Dancing Fetus.

VII

1991

Tommy Marriots

Bol

Lendl

The bar years commence. Slop is allowed for the women players. The longest and most pathetic final match in the history of the McGriff. Hit the f---in bullseye already!! Pitlick is far from sober. Sad Dood finds unexpected riches in the urinal. Beginning of the Sad Dood cheese pool.

 

VIII

1992

Tommy Marriots

Pitlick

Caaaaaal

Caaaaal ? No!! Bol is knocked out of the match early by a batch of homemade mead that results in projectile vomiting. Bumfuq is congratulated for his fine work. The Green Jacket makes its debut.

 

IX

1993

Abbott Square

Myers

Bol

The Wedding McGriff - Could the room be any bigger? Myers gets off the schnide for his first, and only, championship. Victory laps ensue.

X

1994

CPG's

Bol

Caaaaaal

The Marathon McGriff - How many people can you fit in the Grill? The 10th is a banner year. Mayhem abounds without Sad Dood to run the show. This McGriff lasted until 5:00 A.M. and tested even the heartiest McGriffer's stamina. Jizz is voted onto the Committee smashing the sexist barrier.

 

XI

1995

The Steer

Bol

Myers

Holy shit those wings were hot!! Shhh! Keep it quiet up there.

 

XII

1996

Buffalo Brew Pub

Bol

Myers

The Low Maintenance McGriff - Show up, swill beer, eat food, play darts. Whore and FOW make their triumphant return...no damage this time. Mighty Taco extravaganza. The Bol to Myers weight differential as applied to beer consumption may again be the determining factor.

 

XIII

1997

Buffalo Brew Pub

Bol

T. Lump

 

The Cigar McGriff - Never have so many cigars been smoked by so few. T. Lump storms through the field leaving Sadood, Pitlik, and Myers in his tremendous wake.

 

XIV

 

1998

Buffalo Brew Pub

Bol

Pitlick

Another pitcher of Old Peckerhead please. We've spent about a grand in here and still no buyback??? Saddood not only fails to cheese but finds himself in the finals. Not! Alex goes down again...

 

XV

 

1999

CPG's

Pitlick

Saddood

Return to CPG's. I can't believe we've been doing this for 15 years!!! Shots galore, split ball barrage, and Saddood eliminate Bol. Pitlick prevails, Saddood sent to the curb. Smythe burns cab to ground.

XVI

2000

Da Grill

The Other Brother Daryl

Saddood the Bride's Maid

Commence Friday at Grill. By 800,000 o'clock Toddly talking to barmaid through sweatshirt hood. Phil of CPG's provides Splint Shuttle to Anacone's (very cool). Todd hits 1,000,000 o'clock early; is sent home.

Splint has 23 entrants. Many traditional favorites become early spectators. Drew, fortified by Guinness, forges on after Bol and Col sent to bleachers. Toddly (well-rested) finishes third. Spitball mayhem. Saddood snipers Myers' eye, halts future spitballing. Saddood stealthily sipping Coke. Everyone else stealthily spiking same Coke. Dood steams to finals but falls off table due to unwitting consumption. "Outsider" Daryl, witting consumer, tromps Dood for the jacket.

XVII

2001

CPG

Pit

Gar

Sludgie Spectacular! From official welcome sign on door to scorching Jony James Band, Stevie Ray Productions comes through bigtime. Gar makes it to finals. Pit says NO to an "outsider" repeat.

Angry stripper goes Ballistic.

CPG

Pit (continues...)

Bol (declines...)

Klaus Von Grube whipped into submission by an aggressive ballet dancer. Splinty All-Drunk Choir born thanks to Bol preselected tuneage..."if you don't like the way I'm living...just leave this long haired country boy alone...." Neil Young cover band rocked the house....."What a Killer!"

Pitlick the 48th

The Astroid

News cast from 2002: A new look at an asteroid orbiting the sun shows it could possibly smash into the Earth with the explosive force of millions of tons of TNT. The analysis showed it was mathematically possible that the asteroid could hit the Earth on March 16, 2880. But experts say the potential impact is long enough away for the speeding space rock to alter its course.

If it did hit the Earth, it would have planetwide effects, setting off fires, changing the weather and perhaps creating immense tidal waves, and possibly even disrupting the Splint McGriff. But it would not be a planet killer like the asteroid thought to have snuffed out the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. That asteroid was about 16 times larger than The Lump.
