Thursday, July 27, 2006 What happens at Skateland
We lost the last bout, again, to the Mobtown Mods, 82-87. Even though we lost, that puts us in third place on points (for those of you following along at home). Something was in the air that time around. There were so many fights between the Junkyard Dolls and the Speed regime that 5 skaters ended up being ejected from the game.
The Night Terrors and Mods have reps for playing cleaner, more technical bouts, so no one got too out of hand.
I did get my first "insubordination" penalty. I'm not too proud of it, but a ref pulled something so ridiculous that I was possessed by a demon, and the demon had a fine pair of lungs and an evocative vocabulary with lots of strong verbs. If you're going to really lose your temper to the point of incoherence, I recomend you arrange to do it in front of a really big audience. Next time I yell like that, I hope it's at the Hollywood Bowl and will be accompanied by acrobats and a pyrotechnics display. The band will play "The Stars and Stripes Forever," then the 1812 Overture. When they are done, that ref will still dead-ass wrong.
In completely unrelated news, I recently re-quit smoking. It's probably dumb to try it before my big trip to Las Vegas tomorrow, but it's probably dumber not to try. It's been about a week and a half since I've had a cigarette at all. I'm already getting all self-righteous about it. It's kind of great. I love being self-righteous. posted by Frenz | 7/27/2006 05:15:00 PM
