Shuffleboard, the Sport of Lunchladies and Drunks

Shuffleboard has been around since 1532, and it's been played at Bob's Tavern in Havelock, Nebraska for almost that long. This game has it all: skill, power, luck and beautiful people. There are over 1 millions shuffleboarders in the US and if you need more proof of the game's popularity look no further than HDNET, they broadcast the 4th Annual Shuffleboard Championships in Hi-Def. The real attraction of that show, and all shuffleboard is the man, nay, demi-God of Shuffleboard, Billy Mays. No, not this tool, this giant. It's been said, "Billy Mays is to shuffleboard what Michael Jordan was to basketball, what Ali was to the fight game, what Tiger is to golf. " He is a 27-time world champion! This guy is THE MAN. Joined the army at fifteen, was married and divorced four times before he was 21. To date he's been married 10 times because, "I just enjoyed married life." He's won 800 tournaments and sometimes cleared $500 K a year betting with people on shuffleboard. Anyway, if you haven't seen his trickshot act, you haven't really lived.

In summation, get in on the ground floor of shuffleboard, it's going to be the next darts.
