[QUOTE=Captain Carrot] Captain Carrot taking the ball from swampbear, scores! I posted in response to the last post on page 5, not realizing that the thread had progressed well beyond that point; I never caught it, since I didn’t take it from the right person. Sorry. [/QUOTE] Don’t go more than twenty minutes without checking the game. Don’t go more than twenty minutes without checking the game. Don’t go more than twenty minutes without checking the game. Anyway, that was a valid score, which would be game point. But hey, if you guys want to keep playing… ---

Foo and fie. With a side of foe and fum. It’s not the same as when we played Doperball years ago-they would be cramming the boards just to post-the servers would be hot enough to cook eggs on-darn kids nowadays-nobody cares-and we LIKED IT! HEY! get off my virtual lawn! ---

**Kotick** comes charging in on a yak-ox but the crowd does not go wild like teenagers in a Beatles concert. Its dead silent. With his new butterfly-net (this time reinforced with leather from a seagoing madagascarian lizard) he cries out the warcry of the Karakoram yetitribe which is the sound of an avalanche in c-major. But suddenly the yak-ox stops. Kotick with legs flailing and kicking the sides of the animal jumps down in fury and starts scolding the yak-ox, who just merrily have started munching grass. Ahah! Now he remembers, the yak-ox salesyeti said that if the model suddenly stopped, a trick was to tickle its balls. After a quick tickle the yak-ox starts moving, and they charge forward… only ten yards. The yak-ox is agin merrily munching grass. Kotick is again fondling the better parts of the yak-ox. They are again charging forward… another ten yards. Oh come ooooon! **Kotick** moans and jumps off to do some more tickling. He tickles, and tickles, and tickles some more, but nothing happens. For heavens sake, yak! he shouts but suddenly the yak-ox explodes in a rainbow of satisfaction, showering the field in yak-ox bits and suddenly he realises that the game is over. There is noone here. **Kotick** slowly walks himself off the field draging the butterfly-net after him like dead twig. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doperball-vi/390873.md?page=18)
