**JimSox5**! Still groggy from only getting about three hours of sleep last night and now smeared in neon blue body paint so as to make sure people don’t confuse him as the ref, he decides the ball would make a perfect pillow. Hopefully a member of the Rage Machine will come by and put it in for two. . . ---

::Scott is back on the field. With him is former president Reagan. Ronnie looks quite confused, and no wonder. He is dressed like a cheerleader, but not the old fashioned male kind that wears letter sweaters and pants. Oh no. He is dressed in a contemporary female cheerleaders uniform.:: P.S. How did Scott meet Reagan? Well, in another thread **Derleth** accused **TubaDiva** ) of creating a monster, since she told me how to strikethrough letters. ([del]some words[/del] For a brief period afterwards, I became zombiefied. I met Reagan at a zombie get together. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. ---

> [@danceswithcats](#): > > Where are the cheerleaders? We must have cheerleaders! 😃 Well, you get your wish. In that voice I always imaged him using in Doonesbury comic, Reagan precedes to cheer for **dances** team (Not my team. 😃 ) and: **Typical american cheerleader routine:** 1. Wave pompoms 2. Hip gyration/thrusts 3. High kick 4. Boost a cheerleader every fourth routine or so, which just ends up looking pathetic, since there are no other cheerleaders ---
