Doperball V--Man, I'm bored

…straight over to Hal. He quickly runs to the sideline, whips out a crowbar and starts opening up the massive packing crate sitting there (huh…how’d we miss that before). He pulls out the Acme[sup]TM[/sup] brand Giganto-Slingshot, loads up the Doperball, and sends it screaming into the stratosphere.

Twelve minutes later, it finally returns earthward, straight into the waiting arms of…

Double with cheese, hold the tomato, and a Biggie fries please, Ms. Ref. Thanks!

Snakescatlady grabs the ball from a distracted Candid, trips over the cat (where did the cat come from?) and falls on her face, losing possession to…

D’oh! That was an illegal touch, Snakescatlady! I had possession, not CG…hurry back in and you can tip it for the score!

Unless someone else gets there first, like me.

Okay, Ref’s back, here’s your food, let’s review …

CG to Hal, intercepted by little*bit for Team Two …

Intercepted by twicks, who wants to know why the ref didn’t bring her anything to eat. While engaged in lively discussion with the ref, another player sneaks behind her and grabs the ball. That wily athlete is …

You didn’t ask, twicks but I’ll be happy to share my fries.

Not my Frosty, though. Chocolatey fake-dairy goodness all for me.

You da woman!

wanders off, munching some fries

… Candid, apparently bucking for MVP, as he keeps the ball alive…

bouv catches the no look pass gracefully and, seeing as his team is ahead, tries for the double point and lobs the ball off to…

…twicks, who scores. Well, she heads down to the goal line, anyway, looking really, really confused. This team sport thing confuses the hell out of her.

Hal, who notes the look of confusion on twickster’s face, reminds her that once you touch the ball, you can’t touch it again until there is a score or turnover, and then lofts it into the goal for two.

Woohoo!

retreats to sidelines, grabbing some pom-poms from a passing pom-pom purveyor

Hal’s goal for two brings the score up to 4-0. Team Two’s gettin’ spanked.

But not in the good way.

This Just In …

The referee gets to go home at 4:30. Calvinball rules apply until I return. :slight_smile:

I’m no good at these things. I really should just watch from over here.

Do I have the ball?

The ball bounces off of Feydeau’s head. WhyNot nabs the ball again, and looks around frantically for someone else on Team 2 to pass it too.

Giving up, she heaves it high in the air and runs to Draelin, offering her a bottle of mead and some very fine dark chocolate to take home with her. Bribery is really Team 2’s only option at this point.

…but instead finds a Flying Apteryx waiting to block the goal.

Hal stops the Team 1 drive, and wings the ball downfield to…

…twickster, who stops in mid cartwheel – team loyalties are impossible to break – and with a flick of her pom-pom, sends the ball spiraling off to …

WhyNot, who sighs halfheartedly and starts making burgers for the Flying Apteryxes.
