UTABL Top Ten Fun

The UTABL, a league based in Lancaster, had a little fun on their blog in anticipation of their upcoming weekend get-together held presumably at a cabin . 

They posted a “Top Ten Cabin Predictions”.  Take number 1 for example:

 

1)  Someone will attempt to destroy a set of dice.  (Dice take the most abuse at the cabin, although most of it is verbal.  But a few dice have been thrown, batted, or mutilated in some form.  We still hope to find a previously lost pair of dice on the bank heading down to the creek.)

 

Reminds me of a convention the IAL had at our commissioner’s house probably 25 years ago.  He lived near a creek.  I don’t remember the exact game situation but he got REALLY mad at his team and his dice. 

So mad that he took his dice and went outside (yeah, you can see where this is going).  He went over to creek and threw his dice into the water. 

Those dice were never seen again.
