Soooo... evidently our winner is a non St. Louisian! Evidently he is, at best, a postential significant other of the daughter a Principal of the Moneta group. Evidently. Congratulations to Mr. Perkins. You chose brilliantly and boxed the rest of us out before even the final tip off. I am not sure that has happened before. Kudos from KUBE Management. I am not sure, we fully publicsized this in the past but you MUST of course be in attendance at the party at The Depot on Monday in order to kollekt. I don’t know your parents Charles but KUBE takes it’s obligations to teach all kontestants important life lessons and one of those is LIFES NOT FAIR! The good news is that if Charles cannot make the final game party that the money will not go to the other Kontestants but will instead go to the Kukla-Becker Kraps and General Gambling Slush Fund. See the lesson above.
It looks like a Winstroer is in the money. Obviously we are all saddened by this. On the other hand, at least it wasn’t Steven. He paid late and under protest and durress and only when he was informed that he was likely in the money and would be shoved out if he didn’t pay.
Shapiro who also might be in the money and is a prenial KUBE Kontestant... also late pay.
Henry Buemer faught a game fight but with his father making him chose Missouri he was doomed not to win but when you consider his winner went out in early, this is a pretty impressive selektion. Henry is, I believe a first grader so when Perkins is thumping his chest he should remember that he beat a 7 year old who chose Missouri to go all the way and has a crush on my 20 year old daughter.
What can you say about the games? Wichita State really was something and the Valley (still the conference that SLU should be in) represented powerfully. Louisville could have folded but instead they defended and won the game of attrition. Michigan similarly won with defense rather than through offensive brilliance and the final game looks to this guy to be a low scoring, bodies crunching in the paint, battle! I can’t wait.
The party at The Depot this year is likely to be a star studded event. Bill Klinton and Stephen Kolbert are both staying in town at Kukla’s request (Major Political Donor) and the entire Billiken basketball team will also be there as well as Brad Pitt and the late Charlie Spoonhour. The menu looks like:
Kukla all day smoked pulled pork on sandwich or gluten free corn tortilla!
Kukla all day smoked and falling apart ribs!
Bauman’s Chicken wings (only 20 so come early)!
Chick Fil-Et Nuggets (not gluten free) hopefully brought by Kowert.
Krave Kase of White Kastles brought by Becker the Wrecker or his brother!
Some Beer
Some Gluten Free Beer
Some Bourbon being konsumed by me in the Korner.
AND MORE!
The event should not be missed! Kukla’s Home Address is:
1030 Barberry Ln
Saint Louis, MO 63122-5100
Kuklas Social Security Number is:
394-46-9877
Kukla’s Bank Routing Number is:
32-55690-11
Kukla’s First Pet’s Name was:
“Bonkers”
I am only giving you all this information because hacking his bank account and stealing the money by way of bank, mail and wire fraud is the only way any of you will ever share in any of the riches of KUBE. We stack up mountains of many every year in our kontinuing skam and I would proud to be part of it, but Don never shares with his partners. At this point I am just pleased he has not, “settled all of the families business”.
I will see you Monday. Congratulations Perkins! Please send us a picture of yourself laying in a pile of money for us to post on web site next year.
