Dirty Discs (Won Dirt Cheap)

Like that headline? I'm quite pleased with it myself, thanks. And that sums up all that pleases me about last night's game.

No, that's a lie. We shouldn't have lost, what with their multiple points via picks (sorry Dan!) and tipped discs, there were some good things to come out of a game played in a hidden corner of an industrial park on a sweltering evening. To wit:

• Dan the Man not only bustin' the rules but bustin' out the long runs to compliment his great short-passing game. A shoo-in for the Propeller Hefeweizen Player of the Game.
• The girls having the option to go with a 5:2 ratio at any point in the evening but playing the entire game 4:3 (meaning the guys had no excuse for any laziness whatsoever). Many thanks to Sara and Lynn for their willingness to handle again and again.
• Matt setting a shining example for all in chasing down discs and husslin' on defence.
• Bryan and Chris with the usual mix of quick, short cuts and deep runs. Many props as well to Chris for being the soccer mom with four kids to drop off at the field.
• And of course the return to the field of former captain Wiggy Von Wigglenuts. Given our success when he played (and the success of our defence once Wiggy advised to play them straight-on), he should've played a lot more.

I think it was fitting that the Ship Victory was unable to prepare Victory Burgers in our honour, given the loss. I think a win would've restored function to the grill, but instead we had to make do with Fries of Defeat. And if post-game drinks proved anything, it's that Jian Ghomeshi is a douchenozzle.

Finally, the Hammers can rest assured the Dirty Discs will not outscore us in spirit points. As much as they might've disliked me after the "last point" confusion, know that I disliked their whiny guy ten times more.

AARON EDIT: I think this picture deserves special attention.
You're welcome.
