**Monstre** ’s guacamole and chocolate flavored ball is caught by **danceswithcats** who suppresses wretching at the combined flavors and boots the ball downfield to…

**Monstre** tackles the **danceswithcats** / **FaerieBeth** combo, wondering if he is the only **Naked Mole** even on the field at the moment. Stealing the ball, **Monstre** slings the ball into the air, then turns his attention back to the manage-a-trois of tangled bodies on the ground.

“How y’all doin’?” 😃

FaerieBeth zips up from the tangled mass of limbs, and wings\* her way to intercept Ghanima’s pass, then flings it in the ooposite direction to…

\*'Cause I’m a faerie, see. I have wings.

**Monstre** makes another leaping interception, snatching up **FaerieBeth** ’s pass.

Lowering his head, he charges down the field, shuddering the ground in his passing. Suddenly, **Monstre** is distracted by a passing butterfly – he wanders off to the side aimlessly, dropping the ball…

leaving **Ghanima** to leap at the ball, landing on her stomach and getting grass stains all over herself, then she blindly tosses the ball up in the air…

The e-mail! It lies! It says I there have no new posts to my subscribed threads.

Sorry to leave you all hanging. And yes, I am still at work. Surprised?

**JimSox5** takes **FaerieBeth** ’s pass and looks for another Rager. A tied score at this point in the game is unacceptable! Team 2 forever! Other propaganda-like sayings!

I’ll just load this thing into my handy, portable trebuchet and fling it downfield. . .

And with **JimSox5** ’s interception, the whistle blows…

Ok folks…my time at work is up…gotta get back to the real world, so if someone impartial would be so kind as to take over ref’ing duties until tomorrow…

Well, I can ref until 7. Since I started DoperBall II, I guess I’m designated alternate ref.

Indeed I do, but it _really_ doesn’t make me want to see her cleveage any less. 😉

It’s just for a little while. **Hal** will be back soon. Just don’t pass the ball to the naked guy. Unless somebody else has gone naked that I’m not aware of. . .on another thought, maybe I ought to cover myself after the whole cleveage incident. . .

Hokay. Knickers and cleavage aside, I think I’m #2 after your interception **JimSox5** so my pass to…could result in a score. _Hint Hint to other teammates_
