twickster, who’s just taking a break from cleaning the kitchen, really…
Well EarthStone777 is headed to the kitchen to make himself some lunch, so he carefully sets the ball on the counter while he opens the fridge to see what’s there. Unnoticed the ball rolls off the counter and bounces down the hall to…
(Yes, I was the third even to touch it. No I did not score with it, I’m hungry damnit! Food first, score later.)
The delay costs the Evens a score because it gives gardentraveler just enough time to swoop by and get possession of the ball for the Odds…
TEAM CONFIGURATION REMINDER
It’s Odds vs. Evens based on the number of syllables in your screen name.
If you’re just joining in, please say which team you’re on…
And our current score is:
Evens: 9
Odds: 3
…but it’s stolen back by twickster, who’s taking another break because it’s really important to pace yourself while housecleaning. She sticks it over by the sweatshirt, the spool of ribbon, and the stack of books at the foot of the stairs awaiting her next trip up, and …
gardentraveler stops by and removes it on her way to pick up in her own living room, when…
danceswithcats decides to pick up something much less weighty than a living room, instead loading the doperball into an environmentally friendly hydrogen powered ball-shooter, and having pulled the trigger cord, a pleasant BOOM verifies the doper ball to be somewhere near Venus where it is found by…
twickster, who’s actually looking for the cup hooks she bought a few days ago, so she tosses the ball away to keep looking…
apparently pretty extensively, since Venus seems like a kind of long way to go for cup hooks… 
Having hitched a ride on a local spacebus, gardentraveler stops by, hands twicks her lost cup hooks and takes the ball back onto the bus. They scoot on to…
Feydeau, who, in a muffled voice, yells “GET OFFA ME!!”
They jump off, startled, and Feydeau grabs the ball and jumps onto the roof of the spacebus, headed for Jupiter, where…
twickster, having safely stowed the cup hooks in her purse (thanks, gardentraveler – where the hell did I put them?), grabs the ball and hops back on the probe…
And, looping around the curve, comes Lum’s spaceship. If I have read the names right, this sends the ball into the goal.
If not, well…
gardentraveler gives it the ol’ college try and hopes that the Odds can come up with at least one more goal before game end as the score is now 10-3, Evens. She lobs the ball to…
danceswithcats who hasn’t decided on a comic segue just yet, and so will merely staple the doperball to the mane of a passing yak, with a warning to stay upwind of what the yak is passing…
Priceguy catches the yak, shaves it, and grabs the ball as the yak is hiding its shame from the eyes of the Lord.
Feydeau grabs the ball, mounts the yak and rides off into the goal and the sunset!
I think we won.
joins in dance of joy (and yak BBQ)
danceswithcats urges the children to look at some watercolors, lest they see yak mounting. Let them wait until they’re at least 14 for such doings. :eek:
Sternvogel was threatening to try to change the premise of the teams for the next game – but hell, he’s not here, and that odds/evens thing seems to be working really well …
