:: enters from the food court carrying a nacho platter, three hot dogs, a bag of popcorn, and an Abyss Boy[sup]TM[/sup] 128-oz soda :: What’s the score? Why’d this ball land in my nachos? **DeVena** , watch where you’re throwing! Sheesh. I’ll just put this thing where it can’t land in enybody else’s food. Like over there, at the end zone. ::toss:: ---

Woohoo!! Two in a row, and a shut-out to boot! :: Runs cross-field, slides on his kness, ripping off his shirt Brandi Chastain-style :: Well, unless we get a major influx of Wallflowers, we’re either going to have to restructure the teams, or pack up the Doperball until next season. Still, it was fun. 🙂 ---

> [@harmless](#): > > ;j > Sorry, there were too many toothy guys on this page. > WooHoo! > Do we win again? Yes. Strictly speaking, I could disqualify all moves since yours, because **JimSox** didn’t quote the previous poster. However. For reasons which must remain shrouded in secrecy, and which have nothing whatsoever to do with my former allegiances, I will award the game-winning trifecta to **Fire on Pants**. Let’s be honest, there aren’t even any players from the other team here to protest. ---

Maybe we should make a new thread to attract new players or something, because I think anybody that would’ve been playing for the Wallflowers decided they were too far behind to bother with it now, and then never checked back. ---
