Having thoroughly searched the locker room for the box labeled ‘ **Daunt** ’ to no avail, **danceswithcats** continues undaunted towards the other end of the field, with the ball discarded by **S/K**. ---

Tean DDD **Doc** sidles up to **danceswithcats** , mainly because he’s always wanted to sidle up next to someone. I sounds like such a cool thing to do - sidle up. So much more sofisticated than a mosey. Sidling accomplished, **Doc** takes the not-so-lilaclly-smelling ball from **danceswithcats** in exchange for a sample sized daunt. Since this is ony Team DDD’s 2nd touch and scoring is not an option, **Doc** quickly loses interest, drops the ball and goes to look for some Doperball groupies. ---

**danceswithcats** , who catches boot and ball. How much to buy back your boot, **Yeti**? In search of another player from Team DDD, he skips down the field, leaving the semi-shoeless behind. ---

Team DDD Attracted by the skipping, **Doc** wanders over. Seeing that it’s not a Doperball groupie but only **danceswithcats** , **Doc** grunts, takes the ball mid-skip, and heaves it mightily skyward. There are Doperball groupie, aren’t there? ---

the ball, tainted with an illegal substance, rolls towards the Team DDD mascot Dog, who begins a scratching frenzy. Lacking proper decon equipment, **danceswithcats** grabs the team Gatorade jug and dumps it on the ball and pooch. Lucky for the dog, he’s fond of Pina Colada flavor, and the ball is clean enough to handle, albeit sticky. Victory, HO-a downfield boot towards ---

Team DDD **dwc** to **Doc** to **Hal**. Doesn’t have the same ring as **Tinkers** to **Evans** to **Chance** but, hey, if the play works… Centering pass to **Hal** - take it, baby! ---

Team DDD Over here, **harmless**!! Snagging the pass (or, more likely, the “dribbling roll”…zombies are not known for their athleticism), **Hal** charges upfield. He shucks left, executes a beautiful spin move, jukes right…and then realizes there aren’t really any defenders making a play on the ball. But, hell with it, this is game point. He continues blazing upfield, ready to stiff-arm anyone who gets in his way. Approaching the goal, he flings the ball in the air, trying to set up the game-winning alley-oop pass. And the ball goes to… ---

**Greenback** is following **harmless** around just in case he receives the ball and… There it lands right in his arms. “I think we have to talk **harmless**. You know, … about us. Sometimes I just feel that I give and I give but I still feel so alone…” ---

Team DDD **Doc** grabs the pass from **dwc** and, wasting no time lest another poster jump in and steal his glory, fires a shot at the net. Scoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore!

Okay, **Team 2** (under any incarnation) continues it’s dominance over **Team 1** with an 11-3 win. Okay, are we going to play again? I want in! I’m ready for my triumphant return! Whoever decides to ref, it might not be a bad idea to mix up the teams a little, because, like I said before, **Team 1** is sitting on a .000 winning percentage.
