Quote: LJ made history with this roll against the unfortunate Rich Washofsky. He is the first person to roll a Double Jowler in a Madness event and is the first non-Master to roll a documented Double Jowler. Amazing.
It has been written by many great authors that no one man can change the world. They obviously didn't realize LJ was a pig passer.
During the 2007 Pig Madness event, while people were enjoying the party and rolling the pigs as they please, one man was setting a new standard. One man raised the bar. One man gave yet one more reason for the hippies of the world to dance naked!
LJ is, in case you haven't met, an unassuming guy with a great heart and a huge smile. And apparently a deadly hand because boy oh boy did he let those pigs fly. He rolled the leagues first Double Leaning Jowler in a Pig Madness Event...ever. He's also the first non-Master to roll the difficult to reach Double Jowler. And lets take a look at the roll for a moment shall we?
You'll notice in this photograph to the above that these pigs covered some distance. This was no simple pig toss, this was a roll. So powerful was the throw that one of the little rubber buddies almost went overboard but managed to hang on with just inches to spare.
"He was ecstatic. He couldn't believe it. It was awesome." Perry Day said in an instant phone interview.
L.J. Vierra - The only man on Earth to go to Woodstock AND Pig Madness...and then roll a double-jowler. As opposed to his experience at Woodstock, let's hope he remembers this one. Congratulations L.J.!
The third player in the league with a Double Leaning Jowler.

Quote: The first of the San Diego clan to roll the most elusive combo, Walsh had little emotion as if he expected to roll it on this day. Amazingly, this was the 4th Leaning Double Jowler in 4 days! "Simply fucking awesome!!" quote: Matt Breen.

Additional facts: Although one of the Pigs landed on a notebook being used to keep score, inventor of the game of "Pass the Pigs" David Moffat, validated the roll and awarded John 60 points. Unfortunatly he was losing 81 -5 before making the incredible roll and wound up losing 100-65 after passing his pigs. A sad occurance...
***NPPL TOURNAMENT ROLLS***
THE FIRST with 2 DLJ's in NPPL tournaments - A Master's tournament AND a Madness tournament!!

Additional facts: Rolling his pigs against Gary Williams in his first match of the 2010 Master's tournament, Cosh rolled his 2nd DLJ in his last 3 tournaments. He rolled a DLJ in the 2009 Madness, won the 2009 Invitational championship, and then rolled this DLJ at the 2010 Masters. Quite a feat and pardon the pun, he's on quite a roll!!! Said Williams regarding the accomplishment, "I always said that people throw their best pigs against me - i rest my case!"
