2008 Vanista Court Neighborhood Olympics
June 4th, 2008 by Jeremy EnkeAs many of you know, and I have mentioned it on my affiliate radio show, I have some fun neighbors. Last year we
hosted the first annual Vanista Ct. Olympics. I am happy to report that the 2nd annual Olympic games are officially underway. These high profile Olympic games run for three weekends and include the following games:
Croquet, Bowling, poker, Bocce Ball, Pool, Shuffleboard, Bags, Basketball, and finally we wrap the events up with Fishing. For each event the winner is awarded a gold, second place silver and third of course gets the bronze.
The competitors are as follows:

Name: Jeremy Enke
Representing: New Dehli, India
Hobbies: Internet Porn, Long camel rides in the rain, operating a Non English speaking 1-900 fetish number. (2007 Finish - Bronze)

Name: John Bauer
Representing: Stuttgart, Germany
Hobbies: Showing wife his pimp hand is strong, collecting antique steroid needles (2007 Finish - Gold)

Name: Jay Sandine
Representing: Kaanapali, Hawaii
Hobbies: Contracting rare skin disease from Midwestern plants, nude midnight snorkeling (2007 Finish - Silver)
The shenanigans that take place over the course of the Vanista Ct. Olympics include copious consumption of alcoholic beverages, temper tantrums, and general insulting words about fellow players, families, and yes even wives. There is no limit as to what may transpire.
I am happy to announce though after 1 day of competition and 3 events I am in second place. I had a disheartening croquet showing, but pulled two silvers in bowling and poker. To be honest I was in a position to win both of those events, I just couldn’t come through in the clutch. During the croquet match I ruined my sunglasses, broke a mallet, and punched my mailbox. My wife is thinking about enrolling me in some anger management.
Competing in these games is more than just sports though. It’s about the attire you wear, as well as how bad you can mentally break down your opponent. Next week we will be competing in Bocce Ball, Pool, and Shuffleboard. I predict 1 of each medal this week for myself. This will keep me in the hunt for week 3 where I am a huge favorite in fishing and maybe bags. Here are some pics from week 1.
The winner each year gets the traveling belt, John Currently holds it:

The other neighbors are thrilled to have drunk screaming guys in the front yards all day:

This was after breaking the mallet. You got to love the attire too:

This pretty much summarizes what John’s weekend will be like for the next 3 events:

How did I silver in poker against these donkeys?

If you think all these shenanigans make me crazy, then you should really read a few other sections in this blog. Start with my crazy prop bets and then check out my section dedicated solely to pissing off women. After reading these, you will know I am nuts
Enjoy the rest of your week!

I suppose an “About Me” page is where you would expect to read a third person professional write up on myself. Hmmm…. well that’s not really my style, so I’ll just go ahead and tell you “about me” in my own words.

Where is Karl?

Karl doesn’t live on Vanista Ct., and furthermore the competition would be to stiff for him to even compete.
