I couldn’t be more confusing if I tried… Mr. Goob, of course, called it. I was referring to swampbear’s catch. Maybe I should sit out for a while, at least until the spots before my eyes clear up. 😛 I just get too darned excited. ---

\ _kssh_ After review, the official determination of the play is **Sternvogel** to **Mr. Goob** to **harmless** for the score. _kssh_ Ok folks, it’s CoB over Team 1, 3-to-1. And **harmless** , naming rights for Team 1 are yours! What say you? Oh, and \…Game on! ---

You know…I was actually sitting in front of the monitor, rubbing my hands together with my tongue sticking halfway out, with an evil grin on my face after I read that. _Mwahahaha_ wasn’t far behind, either. I hereby dub us… **The Flamin’ Hot Toddies**. 😛 Don’t like, _you_ score the first point next time! 😃 ---

Very good, FHT it is. And incidentally, there were just consecutive posts by **swampbear** , **Mr. Goob** , and **harmless**. All of whom are on the same team, and none of whom touched the ball. No wonder the FHT is getting pounded. 😛 ---
