Week 7: Sludge Fashion Slays

Sludge Fashion Slays "Built2Swill" on the Runway Field

by Bucci

Sludgers woke up to a most refreshing April, not "October", day. A rough week behind them, they bounded out from under the covers to rush to see their favorite brown clad friends. Underneath the bluest of blue skys with a Teletubbie-like sun giggling down upon them, they faced the lead singer of U2 and his merry band of frisbee players.

Anna Luna, clad in a "Lemon" T-shirt with a kitty on it and cargo capris, and Lucy, sporting a pink jumper, Sludge Next Gen T-shirt and fruit salad pants, laughed and played with Penelope, Lucy's grandmom, and Sludge's #1 Fan, Mark, underneath the Joshua trees surrounding the field.

As Bono pulled the frisbee, it was rumored he muttered frustratingly, "All I want is you"! Uncertainty over whether he was charmed by Gayle's green shorts and Sludgie hair ribbon, or Russell's 'guns' protruding out of his cut off brown t-shirt was quickly cleared up -- it seems he meant the Sludge Zone.

Even though Sludge didn't technically have "The Edge" on their side, David, in his magical orange hat, and layered fashion sense (brown cut off shirt, white T-shirt underneath -- no looking at those guns ladies! He's spoken for now!) led the team to a quick 5-0 lead. MJ, surfing the field in her turquoise board shorts, scored at least 4 of this first half's goals.

Sludge then showed its "Babyface" as Built to Swill shouted "Zooropa!" & scored the next two goals. Charlie, sporting his simple, yet commanding, black shorts and matching knee pads declared that Swill may have found the weak link. After a bit of Rattle and Hum on the sidelines, an Angel from Harlem, aka McLean Gardens, sporting a black baseball hat and blue shorts sans sea foam green leggings, zipped his way around the field to bring Sludge to halftime, 8-2.
Rob, sporting black shorts and a stylish brown shirt with orange trim, offered offensive advice during halftime. Christy, following the trim trend with green shorts and an orange trim, declared, "With or Without you -- we could still lose this game".

Achtung Baby! The second half began with lots of running, no one Riding Wild Horses. Matthew, with striped shorts, chose to accessorize wisely with a glowing yellow Nalgene and a killer long throw for many scores. Andrew thoughtfully wore Hokie colors as he declared he wasn't just Running to Stand Still.

Final score - 15-7ish

It wasn't a War, just a frisbee game, and it probably was more forgettable than the Unforgettable Fire, but we Still Haven't Found What We're Looking For, and Where the Streets Have No Name, aka "the Polo Fields for pickup next week since we don't have a game" we will play again!
