Doperball VI

(Wow…I’ve been contemplating starting a new DoperBall game for a few days now…neat timing. Anyway…)

Hal rebounds the ball off of SCL’s pick, showboats a bit with the fancy footwork and the snazzy dribbling, and then pulls a Grossman-esque display of ineptitude by tripping over his own shoelaces. The ball dribbles away from him, straight over to…

Sternvogel, who flips it in for the GOAL!

Wanted to make sure my post got through before I announced that Team 1 shall be henceforth known as the Jovial Quetzals.

Well awlright! This Jovial Quetzal takes the ball from the ref (assuming the ref finds no fault with that goal), ties a dozen helium balloons to it, and proceeds to set a record for distance kicking. The ball gently wafts it’s way down to…

I catch the pass from Hal and punt it directly to…

Sternvogel, who gambles on a multi-point opportunity by throwing a Peyton Manning spiral (or unreasonable facsimile thereof) to…

Rysto, who catches **Sternvogel/b]'s throw with no Quetzals in sight. He heads upfield, looking for a teammate to pass to, and tries a desperation heave across the field to…

Me. I toss the ball off the upright, and it caroms crazily into the hands of…

Ludy who in an extreme sugar/caffeine rush caused from a morning snacking on chocolate covered almonds and coffee goes into a sugar inducted tirade that leaves her slightly comatose and twitching but not before passing the ball to…

Rubystreak for the yet unnamed Team 2.

swampbear, I have asbestos hands. It’s my superpower.

Crap, simul-post, Ludy gets in first, but I’m getting it next, dammit!

::realizes Ludy is a teammate, pipes down, hopes another Team 2 member wanders by, finally::

However, I take it right back, wrap it in the Indianapolis Star’s special “COLTS WIN!!!” tribute issue, and place it in a newspaper vending box, from which it’s purchased by…

Ludy who has come too and after realizing what has happened shakes her fist sternly at Sternvoge for ruining Team 2’s chance of scoring.

During the furious fist shaking she trips on the discarded newspaper and the ball is haphazardly tossed into the hands of….

Captain Carrot fumbles Ludy’s throw, and finally manages to get it settled, before relinquishing it to…

. . .anyrose, who hugs the now-cleaned-off-formerly-icky ball close as she plows forward a few yards then notices she has a clear shot to . . .

GT, who grabs the ball super-athletically, then trips over the goal line to SCORE!!!

And, of course, because I was busy, I forgot to say I got the ball from anyrose…

Rubystreak, disgruntledly picking up the ball just spiked by gardentraveler, wondering if Team 2 will ever score a point, hurls the ball in frustration right into the face of…

WooHoo! another point for the Jovial Quetzals!

Captain Carrot, almost breaking his glasses again (which Rubystreak, as the previous poster, offers to replace), but he secures it firmly before kicking it to…
