Double Points week begins!

Double points week started off with a poof and a bang yesterday. 2008 PBRPRPSCLCS Champion Mr. Is was joined by her father, Mr. Isn’t, for his RPS debut. He faced an unnerved Billy Shears in a match that came down to the last throw. Mr. Isn’t was felled by his foe, but all appreciated the appearance and support by the Champ’s dad.

A generous donation of cupcakes were brought by Squidling, in the hopes that David Bowie’s Package might benefit from a solid chocolate fix. It would seem to backfire as all male members of the Package were beaten in Round one, leaving only the 4 lady Package teammates to contend for the prize.

Long story short, nobody won. Mr. Is was out in the round of 16, Leggy Blonde lost in the final eight, and the final four saw both Squidling and Tits McGee defeated. We were hoping for an all-Package, all-lady final, but it was not to be. Madam Silly Putty took the victory, taking Biggs Darklighter ftw.

In street competition, Baconshark took the evening prize, whooping second place finisher Madam Silly Putty 78-44. Baconshark did not lose a single street match, including a final “fight for honor” match at the very end in which he defeated Package rival Fighting Mongooses in a lightning fast half hustle. Hopes remain that Baconshark can build momentum through the week, much like he did on his way to RPS glory in 2007.

Stay tuned as things “get real” at Double Points Week, finishing on Saturday at famous/infamous Connies Ric Rac.

News of our brethren

David Bowie's Package honorary member Windhammer, 2008 Philly Air Guitar Champ, was interviewed over at one of the Philly Weekly blogs. Check it out, the photos alone are worth it.



He was in town this weekend to defend his title, and I heard from sources that he was robbed in a second-place finish. We salute you, Windhammer.

Return Of The Son Of The Extended Package

The Extended David Bowie's Package made another appearance at The Dive this past Thursday night for some smokey PBRPRPSCLCS action! Squidling smashed her way through Round 1 by defeating Travial Pursuit. dOGulas continued his quest for Rookie Of The Year by beating Package Nemesis: The Fighting Mongooses. Seriously- who likes that guy? David Bowie's Package restates the position that The Fighting Mongooses looks like white trash comic Bill Engvall.

Round 2 brought things back to reality as Squidling lost to Slanted Scissors and dOGulas lost to Smashley. All in all, a good showing by the Package newbies.

The Memorial Day holiday gave everyone a rest from RPS at The Raven Lounge. Up next: Tuesday at Dirty Frank's, and the eagerly awaited return of The Champ!!!

Progress Is Slow, Spirits Are High

It was another average night for Team David Bowie's Package this past Tuesday at Dirty Frank's. PJ Rhymeswithsausage fell quickly to Feed The Pony team member Captain Obvious. Baconshark defeated Sexy L but then was eliminated by the night's Package Killer, Captain Obvious. Everyone should have seen that coming. Squidling rounded things off by losing in the first round to Friend Of The Package: Pete The Beat.

PJ Rhymeswithsausage displayed some Street RPS kung-fu/Jedi mind tricks and earned a good stack of cash. It was an all or nothing situation to win, so PJ Rhymeswithsausage put his $44 Street Bucks against The Fighting Mongooses' $42 Street Bucks in a winner-take-all Full Hustle. At that point PJ Rhymeswithsausage totally lost all momentum and lost big time.

The members of David Bowie's Package have decided to consult one of many spiritual advisers to see what should be done to ensure victory. The answer may surprise you.

Week 5 Starts With A Meh

David Bowie's Package is not firing on all cylinders. Other than last week's near-victory by Legg E. Blonde, lately we all loose by Round 2. Ah well. We are consistent.

Last night's adventure at The Raven Lounge was hopping. Package Member Squidling was celebrating her birthday, as was Friend Of The Package El Toro Papaya. Following tradition, El Toro brought a big ol' cake to share with the RPS athletes- a snack to console you after a loss. That El Toro is a real stand-up fella.

Following her own tradition, Squidling lost in the first round. She went against fellow birthday person El Toro Papaya. It's hard to face a loss on your birthday, but at least there was cake to soften the blow. El Toro went on to the finals, but sadly was left with the sweet taste of Loosing Cake and not the sweet taste of Victory Cake.

In other first round loss news, Baconshark almost put up a good fight against new player Hildegard Von Birgen. Baconshark won the first round but then lost 4 throws in a row against his greatest nemesis: a girl. Zero also went down early, losing to Mr. 2nd Place himself, Mr. Strawberry.

The rest of David Bowie's Package did a bit better. PJ Rhymeswithsausge won by disqualification against a person who has a name that no one wrote down. The dude threw an illegal throw. Bad form, but an easy win for PJ Rhymeswithsausage. That was followed by an easy loss to B-Pac. Zombie Llama defeated Senorita Carambolla but then lost to Nubs. Legg E. Blonde did a great job of embarrassing The Fighting Mongooses. (Seriously, who likes that guy?) Sadly, her streak ended in Round 2 with a loss to Dr. Hambone. dOGulas defeated Friend Of The Package Posthumyn in Round 1 but fell to Enemy Of the Package Loomer in Round 2.

All of the package members then enjoyed some $2 pounders of Pabst, some Loosing Cake, and the loss of all of our Street money. How can we top this performance? Come on out to Dirty Frank's tonight to find out!

Week 4 Recap

There have been a few matches since our last update here at David Bowie's Package Blog. Some folks have won a few matches, some folks have lost a few matches. Mostly we've lost. But returning member Legg E. Blonde had a great night last week. In her first match of the 2009 PBRPRPSCLCS Season she made it all the way to the final match. Then she lost. But she did great right up until the last throw in the last match. Good job, Legg E. Blonde!

This week marks Week 5 in the PBRPRPSCLCS, and David Bowie's Package will hit the Monday & Tuesday night tournaments because we just can't get enough Awesome in our blood. Will the Package rise to the occasion?


(A: Maybe!)

Losers never quit, they just drink more beer.

Team David Bowie’s Package had a somewhat uneventful week. Monday night found us floundering to stay afloat as Loomer (aka Magnus Magnus) made short work of the field for the night. First year players continue to fawn over his nonchalant successes, but can take some refuge in knowing that this may be his last year in PBRPRPSCLCS play, as he may be moving to Japan next year.

The Foes of Strawbanus rolled mad deep on Monday, with appearances by the guys who beat Baconshark a lot, and Mr. Strawberry, who could not when it counted. Count to that bunch a girl who beat Baconshark, as I was felled in the second round by Sexual Chutney just after after I retrieved a $36 parking ticket four minutes after my meter expired. Ms. Chutney also made short work of Package newbie Zero in the next round.

Our other new peeps did okay, as both Squidling and Dogulas made it to the final four before losing to Loomer and Paper Princess, respectively. Zombie Llama lost in the first round. No surprise.

Reports of Tuesday are sketchy, but apparently Dogulas was automatically advanced after a player was forced to leave by her boyfriend because she was making out with some girl at the bar. Also, he beat Paper Tiger and El Toro Papaya, two RPS stalwarts. Nice job. Zero lost to someone named Hand Turkey. Also nice job.

Next week’s goal: All Package final! (We like to set ourselves up for disappointment. Doesn’t our name give it away?)
