**Sternvogel** puts the ball in play by taking it down the street to the Red Crown Auto Museum, a restored Depression-era gas station, where he deposits the sphere in the rumble seat of a Model A Ford. The driver is… ---

What is going on? What happened to the rage? **JimSox5** washes off the blue paint and this time gets the blood red out to inspire the team. He also slashes the tires of a nearby Model A because he is so enraged. That’s when he sees the ball. “Not today!” he screams as he hurls it downfield!

Aww! Look what you did to my badmitton set! Now how is a painted red naked guy gonna win over the cheerleader? _Kicks ball at **Candid** in disgust, but misses (I think)_ And let me also express my disappointment at **honeydewgrrl**. Excuses excuses. 😉 ---

Y’all don’t mind me, I’m just gettin’ the grill ready for some burgers. Did somebody remember to bring potato salad? I get hungry watchin’ doperball. Those sweaty shirtless (and sometimes nekkid) doper men make me work up an appetite. 😃 HEY! I almost tripped over the icky ball! Why is there blood (or is that red paint) on it. It might get on my white Adidas! (Dons gloves and picks up ball, dumps it onto the field) Keep this thing where it belongs. Now I’m all exhausted. I need a beer. ---

**Monstre** picks up the ball from where **Swampbear** dumped it. After dodging a few opponents, he summons up a burst of **Monstre[sup]TM[/sup]** strength, and flings the ball straight up into the air. He watches as it disappears into the upper stratosphere.
