DAMN it-I took the ball from anyrose! My ball MINE!! I’ll pass it to you if you’re on my team
You’ll pass it to me regardless; with any luck, anyrose or swampy will be along shortly to relieve me of my burden.
anyrose reluctantly accepts the ball from Cpt Carrot, and looks around for swampbear before toddling off to sleep for the night
OK…I’m very confused, so how about I take it from rosie and make a brave attempt to run across the goal line without tripping…
Oh, what a mess. Looks like it went from **Captain Carrot ** to anyrose to gardentraveler who made a goal.
That makes it 9 - 6
Two points to a Quetzal victory! In honor of the homeland of our mascot, I’ll place a Guatemalan stamp on the ball and put it into play by loading it into the cargo hold of a Central America-bound freighter. The ship is puttering toward the Caribbean coast when it is suddenly…
Is intercepted by my naval forces, continuing a brave Quetzal tradition…
Dude-I SO don’t want to hear about your forces, navel, or otherwise.
Regaining what tiny vestige of dignity I might have left after such a scandalous display of navel artillery, I proudly display my own big guns and launch the Doperball towards…
My reinforcement fleet, coming to back up the main navy; they seize the ball and send it flying to…
Me, who just finished editing a paper on equine endotoxemia (not that I know anything about the subject, I was mostly just checking spelling and grammar). Before I retire for the evening, I place the ball on a gunboat, which, as it steams goalward, is hailed by passing Doperballer…
…Rhythmdvl, who tries to swim for shore. Bogged down by the weight of the ball, he passes it to…
A teammate, presumably, but I swoop in for the interception and bury the ball in the sand, whence it is dug up by…
straight man, who claims it as the archaeological find of the century and puts it in the British Museum, from which it is stolen by…
danceswithcats, who deftly arranges some stale Little Debbie snack cakes and with a dab of tartar sauce creates a reasonable facsimile of the now missing doperball, previously placed in the museum by straight man. Stuffing the doperball beneath his tunic and donning a red wig, danceswithcats exits the museum while pretending to be a pregnant lady and delivers on the sidewalk to…
…Kotick who comes flying in to the great chears from the crowd in a Sopwith Camel chased by the Manfred von Richthofen in his Albatross D III, snatches up the ball with his new butterfly-net, only to be shot down and explode in festival of flames. “Damn you, Red Baron”, he shouts as he falls to the ground cluthing the ball…
but it rolls away from Kotick and over to where anyrose has just emerged from hibernation. she picks up the grass covered ball, says “this isn’t coffee” and tosses it over her shoulder and wanders off in search of caffeine as the ball flies over towards
Kotick tosses away his broken butterfly-net, walks over to anyrose and hands her a bulletridden thermos half full with coffe. He then picks up the ball, looks up to the sky, and kicks the ball hard skyward as a final curse…
but it lands in Captain Carrot’s hands, who promptly unloads it onto…
…a sopping wet Rhythmdvl, who dries himself off with it, and tosses it over to…
Me.
Yep.
That’s it.
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust me.
