> [@racer72](#): > > **racer72** , who promptly tosses the ball to… **Wrenchslinger** who, tired of watching all the action from up above has left his spotlight nest atop glorious Cecil Field (NICE luxury boxes still available) and rappels onto the bloodsoaked turf. Freeing himself from his lines, he adriotly sidesteps the unconsious form of a now lukewarm toddie and unleashes a perfect spiral 40 yards downfield to ---

(APPEAL) Hey **Hal**. if you’re going to allow **Keapon Laffin** ’s interception of off me in post #159 despite his failure to identify the previous poster, you should also allow **swampbear** ’s post #170 kick of the ball after **JimSox5** had left it lying around for an hour and a half. If my protest is too late or otherwise falling on deaf ears, and **Draelin** is credited with the score, I’ll place the ball in a Federal Express package and expedite shipment of it to… ---

I was wondering why I got a call from the loading dock. I’ll take the package from **Sternvogel** wander over to the clean room at the plant and run it through the ultrasonic cleaner. Now that it’s all shiney again I’ll launch it out of the 90,000 CFM air duct system back towards… ---

**Sternvogel** , your appeal is duly noted and accepted. We’ll give the FHT a point to make up the difference. In addition, sorry **Draelin** , that last score of yours didn’t count. The last legal touch was by **CandidGamera** in post #179. We’re currently at Chickens of Bristol: 6, Flamin’ Hot Toddies: 2 **CandidGamera** has the ball. \ Game on! ---

**CandidGamera** stop lookin’ at me! I don’t want the ball. Awww… dangit! She aimed it right at me and almost made me drop my beer and it’s only my tenth one of the day! _Sigh_ Ok, I’ll toss the ball out to… HMMM… **Hal** is standing close by and looks like he doesn’t see me so I think I’ll sneak over and **PANTS HAL BRISTON HA!

Sorry, **swampy** …If you would have taken the time to read the _Official Doperball Rulebook_, Chapter 4, Section 9, Rule 19, Subsection vii, you’d know that Doperball refs are specifically prohibited from wearing pants. ---

No one is currently ineligible, **Mr. Goob**. You’re a FHT who took the ball from a CoB. Remember, anyone can touch the ball after a change in possession. ---
