Buoyed by an outstanding performance by last-minute sub Christopher "Marketing Weasel" Hunt, who bowled a a gaudy 89 pins over his average on the night, the Illuminati Bowling Team overcame a big handicap deficit to sweep the Dry Humps 7-0 in Tavern League action Monday.
Although all three games were close until the late frames, the Illuminati won them going away, by margins of 72, 87, and 55 pins. The Humps started the evening with a 61-pin handicap advantage.
The Ills improved their record to 34-15 and tightened their race with Stoned, Beaver Liquors, and The Ligers for first place in the 28-team league.
Hunt was subbing for Susan Doremus, a late scratch (upper respiratory ailment) who was herself scheduled to bowl for Mike Peitz. Peitz was in Las Vegas representing the Tavern League in talks with officials of the Caesar's Palace sports book. Carrying a 125 average into the evening's competition, Hunt rolled a 132, 156, 176: 464.
Next Monday the Illuminati face the mysteriously named MLRC, whose lineup includes, remarkably, a bowler named Christ. Christ carries a 65 handicap.
Correction
Last week The Illuminator described the Dry Humps as an all-female team. That was incorrect. We were thinking of some other Dry Humps.
The lines

It is the position of the Illuminati Bowling Team that this so-called Christ fellow is an imposter. On the other hand, the Illuminati are really not very holy at all--quite the opposite, actually--so you Sisters have a real conundrum on your hands.
