"In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns"

Perhaps not the most famous of the Godfather quotes.  I really did want to use "Leave the gun, take the cannoli" but just couldn't seen to make it work.  Moving on....we played the Disco Godfathers last night.  The evening and game had so much potential to be a great night of disc tossing - sunshine, cool breeze, subs for both genders, and a team that didn't look like arseholes.  Fastforward to 755pm.  We are already down 6-0 to these punks.  We aren't folding though.  We are confident.  They may be young but they aren't THAT good.    And then it all goes to hell.  The girls started as simply quiet and unassuming but then the little French one took over.  So after a couple of stupid calls and rude comments, our call up Jenn, brought in for her grit, toughness and sheer size, took matters into her own hands.  Two fouls later and those girls knew not to mess with us!  Well they still beat the pants off of us (final score was 12-4 I believe) but they were scared.  Like big time AFRAID. 

So I suggest our fierce defence and blocking can be what we take away from last night's game.  It was a good effort by all and it was a nice night for a run.  Thanks for coming out Jenn - we hope to see you again next week!!  And major big plays from Jamie, who clearly doesn't see gender and is perfectly fine with blocking girls and guys in the endzone - and speaking for all women, we appreciate your neutrality - earns him Propeller's Player of the Game.  Mostly because he made a girl cry and that made me laugh.  Joking.  She wasn't crying.  A lot. 

Finally, a return to Freeman's for postgame drinks was the icing on the cake.  That and the story our waitress told about Rocky IV, Demolition Man and Congo.  Not to be confused with our discussions about transgendered lead singers and porn.  Yep.  The Bag of Hammers are all class folks.

Enjoy the sun this weekend kids.  See you Thursday!

Let us not let this recap sink into the cache without mention of the lanky hatted shithead who spiked the disk on their ~10-3 point, nor of the blond possibly-Russian "thoroughbred" (to quote an impressed Nick) you ran circles around us and scored prolly 8-10 of their points.

On the whole, though, I had fun.

Great work Ms. Kelly, and thanks for your post-game ruminations on pornography and Boyz-II-Men.
