'sokay. I’m not quite ready yet, either. But I probably will be by the end of Day 1, at the latest. ---

**Rule Clarification:** So in the above post: which did I vote for? \*\*JSexton \*\*(because Idle is not in the game) or did I vote for the Mod **Idle**? Or did I automatically unvote by casting a 2nd vote and thus vote for \*\*JSexton \*\*for a different reason? ---

Well, it’s a beautiful nonday for a ballgame here at Mamma Mafia Matriculoricum and Hot Dog Stand. sinjin tossed a line drive to EnderW, who bounced it all the way to the 50 yard line before MHaye tagged him with the penalty mallet. HookerChemical swooped in with a 72-point Bingo play, causing crys75 and Red Skeezix to throw him over the ramparts, where he was supposed to have been caught by Meeko, who was actually checking out the submarine races where Suburban Plankton rammed into Inner Stickler, probably by accident. This resulting fracas gave Thing Fish the break he’d been waiting for, doing a double bogey on hole #29 and allowing him to kick Winston Smith’s ball all the way to brewha’s secondary goal. ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies then bought the ball, tripped Dante G in a regulation foul, but stumbled over LightFoot’s right foot, which made a fumble. After Nesta arrived with the jai alai sticks, and Plumpudding rolled a keg of Bavarian Finest onto the field, Pleonast nearly attained Second Ascension, but the blinding lights from scathach’s bagpipe-mirror distracted him, allowing Sunny Daze to score. AngeloftheNorth then roundhoused Hoopy Frood, cascading him over raventhief’s wheelbarrow, barreled into Normal Phase, which pingponged Normal into Hockey Monkey, who had just shown Chronos a red flag. While bufftabby attemped a Statue of Liberty play, septimus had the actual ball hidden in the back of jsgoddess’s catapult. When Drain Bead systematically fired it at Captain Klutz, it entered No Man’s Land, giving sachertorte an extra base and deducting all of Total Lost’s three primary markers. Nanook of the North Shore then rolled a gutter ball, hitting Hal Briston’s twin pins into Khameleon, who raised his dark sword and charged. At this pre-arranged signal Sario fired six warning shots into Prof. Pepperwinkle’s head, prompting guiri and BillMc to simultaneously lynch the lurkers and call for a No Lynch, resulting in the arrival of Idle Thoughts in a gondola, dropping grenades and flowers on the field. hawkeyeop, previously unnoticed as he was disguised as Askthepizzaguy, grabbed the ball from DiggitCamara, who outran Precambrianmollusc, then jumped over Koldanar, who disputed the logic of TexCat’s vote on Toejam due to the fact that it was Zeriel’s previous vote, and not Boozahol Squid’s that prompted Colby11 to release the mechanical AutoChef in ginsu mode on an unsuspecting Lakai. DaphneBlack turned for a moment, but was forcibly ejected from the game by Johnny Bravo. As the evening came to a close, it was left, as usual, to Biotop and snfaulkner to provide color commentary long into the wee, wee hours, and to try to determine, who, if anyone, had been to the last to have seen Peeker’s scorecard. ---

**Prof. Periwinkle** , you do, of course, realize that that entitles me to move to Paddington Station? Well, I mean, you obviously didn’t realize it when you posted that, or you wouldn’t have made such a blunder, but the rules are quite clear. ---
