"Have some more sloppy joes. I made 'em extra sloppy for yous. I know how yous kids like 'em sloppy. "
The only pop culture reference to sloppy joes I could think of was the lunch lady in Billy Madison, which led me to imDb.com (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112508/quotes), which made me think the screenplay would actually be a great read (while watching the movie would make me dumber).
Anyway, lovely win in the wind last night vs. the Sloppy Joes, whose disorganized defence (extra sloppy?) helped us reveal our inner all-star (Awwwwww!). We're gelling as a team and things are looking up. That's not just optimism talking, look at the frigging standings: http://www.halifaxultimate.ca/teams/team_rankings.php?season_id=31&division_id=12 .
I don't think our opponents loved us. They didn't like Matt's tight defence (Whereas I did.), they didn't like Chris's accurate scorekeeping (I thought it was the shit.), they didn't like that we kept our foot on the gas despite having built up a solid lead (Din't they hear we be 2 Legit 2 Quit?). Well, fuck that shit. Winning makes Baby Jesus smile.
Propellor Honey Wheat Player of the Game to everyone! But maybe especially Bryan, for having the chutzpah to lay down some extra style points. Returning to BM:

Awesome.
While I admit to being kind of sensitive about sportsmanship and the "running up of scores", etc. - lord knows I hate seeing opponents lay out for that 12-2 point - we must be aware of our past, lest we be doomed to repeat it (or something... I think that's a Sandler quote too). I am, of course, speaking about this fateful night:

Further, I have little sympathy for the Sloppy Joes, especially after the angry chubby guy with the knee brace loudly took exception to Tim's perfect hammer to an undefended Hammer in the end zone (Bryan, maybe?). So, sportsmanship means ignoring UNDEFENDED teammates in the end zone? Pfft. Go back to SLUGG. Be a better mentor. Come to think of it, an appropriate response from Tim may have been "Mentor this, bitch!" Who has the second highest spirit score in the third tier? That's right: these guys.
Also - thumbs up to Matt's killer D; awesome cuts from Heather, Michelle and Kate; and Lynn (how do I say this) sacrificing personal safety for the score.
Yay team! Let's hope we haven't played ourselves out of our third tier comfort zone.

My fave Billy Madison quote: "Did you see that guy's balls? They
were weird."
Yes, I am 12 years old.
Also - did I wink at somebody yesterday? I have a vague recollection of doing so.
Ick.
Sorry.
