ROSETOWN, MB
Area man Steve Kroeker, 67, of Rosetown went home really grumpy after the annual Kroeker Kjnipsdesh tournament this weekend … and all on account of a raised staple.
“That’s the last time we use Uncle Harold’s board,” exclaimed Steve. “That thing has crooked pegs and raised staples like you wouldn’t believe! It’s as bad as curling with the Wiebe sisters and their old straw brooms leaving junk all over the ice.”
Early in the match, Steve had a perfect lane for a twenty, but saw his kjnipser go flying off the board and into the kitchen after striking the staple.
“Diewel, this kjnipsdesh board!” said Steve. “Next time I’m bringing along my hammer and making a few adjustments!”
Uncle Harold apparently seats each Kroeker in the precise spot with raised nails and staples in their path.
“He’s got the only free lane to the centre hole,” said Steve. “Somehow his chair is also closest to the buffet line. It’s uncanny.”
