oops! here
I…
…just wanted to hand the ball over to Enterprise ? Who in turn passes it on, if he actually has it, to…
Enterprise, I’m at the goal, and barring a simulpost, I lob the ball in for the winning SCORE!
gardentraveler has tried 3 (count 'em - three)times to intercept the ball and sees she is too late. She holds back tears (adrenaline, you know) and ooooo…cake? And Mountain Dew? Well, not really my favorite, but I guess it’ll do.
And yes, Sternvogel that would be the one in UA. It’s gotten much larger, but is still much more accessible than the Columbus arts festival and always has lots of interesting vendors. Didn’t buy anything this year, but I’ve got ideas for next year…
Woohoo! A smashing victory for the nameless 2nd Team. Everybody to my place for food and drinks! And that includes the Hairy A-whatevers!
Well…I was supposed to get work done around here, but…that sounds like much more fun. Can I bring something? We apteryxs are excellent hunters. (Or so I’ve been told.)
GT
Is it over already? 
I’m beginning to think the broken desk was an unnamed conspiracy… :dubious:
gardentraveleryou actually picked up the ball and passed it to Honeydewgrrl, right? Because if so, and I catch the pass here – yup, here’s tha ball – I can scoooooooooooooooooooooooored!
Why yes, yes I did. ::Somewhat confused as she thought it was over, but maybe this is the version where the losing team keeps playing until it has 11 points?::
Psst – no – I’m thinking we should rack up points on the next game while the Nameless Doodyheads are busy partying. Subtle, eh?
Excellent plan. I promise not to tell anyone that we’re playing best 2 out of 3. That puts us ahead 1-0. Oh…and I believe that that’s the Doperball right there, next to my foot, disguised as a CPU. Ooopsie, I think I kicked it…
Just so’s someone can keep this straight:
Team 1 (Hairy A’s):
A B C F G H I M N O T U Y
Team 2 (They Who Must Not Been Named cuz otherwise they might notice that Doperball VII has started):
D E J K L P Q R S V W X Z
Well, I wondered why this thread had gone to an eighth page as I ate dinner. So I clicked on the “Last Page” bar and saw that an unannounced new game had started. I’ll take that ball before settling in to watch the season opener of Jeopardy!, a show on which twickster has some experience.
Heh. Since my VCR just died (see other thread), I can devote full attention to this … um … ball movement that’s not officially a game. So let me mosey on down the field, nudging the ball with my foot as I chatter animatedly with gardentraveler.
Well, hey twicks, I was just reading about the demise of your VCR ::surreptitiously covers ball in a babushka and places it on a box so that it looks like there are 3 in this conversation:: so sorry to hear about that, although it looks like FCM might be able to help you out…
While gardentraveler and twickster discuss the merits of working versus non-working VCRs, Snakescatlady sneaks up on her little cat feet and slips off with the ball. Whistling nonchalantly, she strolls down the field…
underestimating gardentraveler’s outstanding peripheral vision. GT tiptoes behind Snakescatlady and then swiftly captures the Doperball in her laundry basket. She sits down on the laundry basket and calmly continues her conversation with twicks, who has - of course - tiptoed along as well…
…and, distracting Snakescatlady with the ol’ “Hey! What’s that???” misdirection, retrieves the ball and paints a baby face on it before wrapping it in one of the clean towels in the laundry basket and putting it in the baby carriage…
Back from reading a recent issue of The Onion (turns out tonight’s Jeopardy! was a rerun from that Ultimate Championship Tourney), Sternvogel injects some testosterone into this game as he covers the baby face with pictures of fighter planes and bats the ball to…
gardentraveler, who was a remarkably bad softball player in high school but has greatly improved with age. She fields the line drive and throws it to…
