Time to clear up a few misperceptions. I am not the cat **danceswithcats** dances with. I did not drink any of the margaritas. I do not appreciate being tripped over while I’m on a catnip high. Now, where’s that shrimp dip? ---

Here’s the dip, and some more catnip as an apology. When does the next game start? ---

I might have to start it. **Hal** here went out of turn, as I started DoperBall II, but did I get a chance to start IV? Oh no, _somebody_ just had to get all impatient (I honestly was thinking of starting another DoperBall thread.). Maybe I’ll have to throw him for a loop and start V, then. . . ---

The next game will be in the Fall? Dang! That doesn’t give me much time to stock up. I best be gettin’ on over to the liquor store and put in my beer order now. Hey! It takes a lot of beer to get through a game of doper ball. ---

I don’t know, **danceswithcats** … I’m a pretty bad dancer in either form. ~sometime later, after much catnip~ YAAAAAAAAAAAOoooooooooooo! Curtain slides! ~swoosh~ Wha? I don’t know how to dance, but I could sit on your head. CURTAINS! ~swoosh~ ---

We have both kinds? Oh boy! Pass the hamburgers, please. I want to build my coleslaw, Russian dressing, and potato chip double decker. ---

Ooo! I’ll trade you my shrimp dip for some of that… looks like the catnip is all gone, though. ---

Brings in more shrimp dip, a pitcher of margaritas, a salt bowl, and potato salad. Warning: potato salad contains mustard. (I’ve heard some people don’t like it that way) ---

Aw, heck, if it’s going to be this much fun after we lose, maybe I don’t feel bad about it anymore. Though I’m finally starting to feel a draft. . .maybe some boxers and a shower (but probably not in that order) would be nice, as well as making the sport slightly more marketable to TV. [sub]Yes, that is what all other major sports are missing. . .there just aren’t enough naked players.[/sub] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doperball-iv-the-subtitling/309064.md?page=12) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doperball-iv-the-subtitling/309064.md?page=14)
