Well we have survived another season of adult kickball. While I was on sabbatical for half of the season I am attempting to write a closing recap piece. This third season was novel for us in that we took control--well specifically Harold and Peppermint Patty--and brought Nancy Drew and the Pardy Boyz to the recreational sports arena. While our nobles co-captains took all the responsibility of running the team, the rest of us (Maniac, Superfudge, Mr. Pooh, and yours truly) just showed up and kicked some balls. However, I must say that I got a warm fuzzy feeling everytime someone said, "What's your team name? [NDPB] Oh that's so cool, I love it."
This was fun season, Superfudge would say it was fun because we actually won a few games, but me being the inept athlete that I am need not to win to have fun. We learned that Patty works with some CRAZY people, although the crazies are usually our people. I gotta say that I am glad that I saw no unsolicited ass/balls/penis. I do have a grievance that our team members seemed to make the douche bag of the week more than any other team members and for that I say, "If it wasn't for the assholes, you wouldn't have anything to laugh at, so don't hate, appreciate."
The culmination of this first team run season was our showing in the Final Four of the kickball tourney!! Kudos to Superfudge for winning the first game on a very stressful bated breath RPS game--you'll see him soon on the pro circuit. Oh, and did I mention I scored my first run of the season during our second game? One run, mark it down! Everyone brought their A-game in their pockets. Very respectable showing. The winners have to go on to a region tournament and who wants to do that? When the season is over the season is over and my friends, the season is over. But don't get too sad...the end of kickball season just means the beginning of football season!!! Sunday ticket biyaches!!
