**FilmGeek** sees the shrimp dip and wanders off to eat. I’ll be back tomorrow, fellow ballers. ---

The ball is still sitting in the middle, with the score now 5-3 in favor of The Rage Machine (Sorry, **FaerieBeth** , it’s just easier for me to remember this way.) The Naked Mole Rats aren’t out of it though! Let’s go, Team 1! Oh, and **featherlou** , **FaerieBeth** didn’t grab the ball, she just congratulated her teammates. Simply posting doesn’t necessarily mean a touch, the post has to say that they’re touching the ball in some fashion, where it came from, and that they’re sending it off. ---

She sees the unattended ball sitting all by its lonesome and feeling sorry for it, she scoops it up. Unfortunately, no one’s paying attention, due to the…hey, naked guy! Is this yours? You are still naked, right, JimSox5? ---

So, that makes it 5-4 in favor of the Rage Machine. Tight game. One of the better ones so far. It’s about time, Team 1. 😉 (It’s okay, **Harimad** , I don’t need proof 😉 ) ---

Well, I’m long overdue for some sleep, so if something happens, be sure to make it very clear for when **Hal** gets back, unless somebody else wants to ref for awhile. As for me, I’ll be dabbling in the body paints so that my teammates can find my nekkid self when I rejoin them in the morning. ---
