Since **featherlou** didn’t actually pass the ball, I’ll just rip it from his hands.

I’ll also give **swampbear** a little show, because it’s just DoperBall tradition by now, and then put the ball on a tee, grab a golf club from the stands, and drive it downfield, off the unaware head of. . .

**featherlou** is a she AIR and she will beat you up for calling her a he when she’s done ogling you. 😃

Dammit, I knew I should have done a his/her thing because I wasn’t sure, but then decided against it for reasons I really don’t know now. Sorry, **featherlou**. But you still need to pass. 😉

Oooooh … the ball needs to be _passed_.

:: Grabs ball ::

Sorry, guys, that’s a bit too big to eat. I’ll just have to kick it over to another **TRORM** teem member.

Get it? “Teem”? … what’s with all those crickets chirping?

**Snickers** grabs it from **Swampy** and snaps off with a passable spiral to, hopefully, another Naked Mole.

Go Moles!

Did somebody say guacamole? MMM… guacamole, tortilla chips, margaritas, beer, chips and dip and shirtless sweaty doper mens. This game’s kinda fun. If the icky ball wouldn’t get in the way it’d be even more fun. Speaking of beer, I’m thirsty.

Wait, wait, wait. Does this mean that there’s a Team 1 in the lead? What’s going on here? Everybody knows Team 2 dominates! More rage, **TRORM**! More rage!

Just to further enrage the field, I am now playing naked. At least it’ll distract **swampy**.

I’ll take the ball and give it a mean-spirited kick, hopefully to another member of the Rage Machine.

Sorry, **JimSox** , but you’ve got it right… **TSNMR** lead **TRORM** , 2-1.

Hoping to reclaim the soaring molementum, I escort the dehydrated swamp to the nearest urinating cherub drinking fountain (a not-so-distant-cousin of the urinating cherub tequila dispenser they used to have at a local Atlanta mexican restaurant, “Would you like an extra shot in your margarita, or your mouth, senorita?”), where I take the ball and punt it into the stands, hoping to recruit a few more players.

Okay, trying to intercept _again_ - with lots of rage this time. And now passing the stupid ball to one of my illustrious, raging teammates…

**JimSox5** catches the pass from **featherlou** (good form!) and keeps his rage going by going all Jackie Chan on the ball. . .and if any Naked Mole Rats touch it, it may be time to channel Bruce Lee. . .
