I can still remember as if it were yesterday: the blinding,
warm sun hung low in the sky; the mild breeze carried the scent of deep fried
miscellany across the Wanderer’s Grounds, where a total of six teams prepared
to play two games (yes, WTTWD and Tuna got their times mixed up.. rookies!);
and a wonderful mix of 80s and 90s hip hop soundtracked our every move.
And then we fucking destroyed the other team. Mercilessly. It
was beautiful.
It could be argued, however, that the other team may have destroyed
themselves, or were at least complicit to some degree in their own undoing. For
one: their attendance was low (they were missing two of their stronger players).
For another: over the course of one glorious extended version of the Humpty
Hump, the red team (1) threw the disk straight into a female teammate’s face;
(2) fought over an errant disk, causing one player to injure either her
teammate’s knee and/or his testicles (depending on who you ask… personally, I
say balls); and (3) lost a fourth player to a pulled a hammy after his 3rd
consecutive deep run, each of which was interrupted by the aforementioned injuries.
It was a bloodbath…
…that we TOTALLY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF! That, and their terrible
defense.
The highlights:
- The entire game… all of it…
- Jeeves’ confident handling and choreographed man coverage dance;
- Arsmy and Chippy being everywhere, seemingly;
- We just barely missed out on an epic Honey-Bunny point – which, no exaggeration, would have broken the blog; and
- Michelle directing Greg to show everyone his “bird”.
Really, everyone played well, most notably Coach Dan’s
A-line, whom (who?) I believe scored the bulk of our DOUBLE DIGIT POINTS. Sticky
hands and strong cuts by everyone – there was someone in the open every time I
had the disk, and we advanced it very well. We may, MAY, be approaching peak
Hammer, people. I had a hard time identifying a single player more worthy than
another of the Lion’s Head Underwhelming-Yet-Free Bud Light Apple Player of the
Game, but beer-y consensus says Jeeves and Armsy are more than deserving. Good
job(s)!
On the topic of the Lion’s Head Underwhelming-Yet-Free Bud
Light Apple “Beer Drink” (it the same way the Sunny Delight is a “fruit drink”),
please see the Bag of Hammer acting skills here, wherein we pretend to enjoy
our complimentary promotional drinks, along with the professionally friendly Bud
server who requested the shot (for unknown purposes… likely a billboard thanks
to our striking good looks and demonic red eyes)…
Until next week!

yay! i can't stop giggling/smiling.
more highlights:
*Greg exclaiming, "That's my wife!!" when Michelle scored our last point.
*Me squriting water (by accident??) in my cranky toddler's face.
*Peter (Dan's doppleganger of a father) occupying the children for a time so that we could engage in some guilt-free swearing along the sidelines.
*Also, honourable mention to Nick - lots of great catches and passes!
Go team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps the eyes aren't demonic, so much as apple like?? No?
And apparently don't climb high poles in Montego Bay, you may fall and die on the rocks below. Good advice from Partner, Anne, and Jeeves! Definitely time to start planning a team get together :)
Also, I forgot to mention, on my way out I was in the CRAMPED bathroom, and ended up at the urinal next to Laurie (the guy). And boy-howdy, he was standing an uncomfortable distance from the urinal – like, two feet back.
Between that, the mullet, and his karaoke deal – he is a confident confident man.
