The AI Bowling Committee recently polled all Stans scheduled to attend AI-XXV to gauge their interest or lack thereof in resuming the iconic aspect of The AI known as Bowling For Sotweeds. This titular mashup of a once popular TV show and a John Barth novel has been a mainstay of The AI since AI-VII and has been dominated by the erstwhile Maplewood, NJ inhabitants, Edie and Reef. Imagine The Committee's surprise when not only was 'lack thereof' the clear choice of the Stans, but leading the ennui were Reef and Edie. The loudest voices in favor of BFS were Gordon, Wally and Rich. The first two just like to watch and the latter, a multiple time BFS champion, was left agog and alone.
Thus, for only the third time since AI-VII - once at AI-X due to a chemical imbalance that left the Stans unable to move and once at AI-XVI due to an experiment with Wii bowling on the pool deck where the most excitement was trying to predict who would fall into the pool - there will be NO Bowling For Sotweeds.
To fill the time The AI S&M Committee will host the first ever AI Poetry Slam
The AI Bowling Committee thanks all Stans for their years of support and ineptitude and holds out hope that an AI without bowling will cause a groundswell, or at least a tepid tickle, for the reinstatement of BFS at AI-XXVI. With that in mind, The Committee leaves you with these thoughts
