Week 8: After-Party

It’s not an ideal situation to use a public restroom toilet, but when **it happens, you do your business and continue with your day. All those R ickies get flushed down in the end.


Under the cool shade of an Elm tree, Sludge was forced to play 5:1 for the first point. First points tend to be, uhm, chaotic as both teams feel out each other’s strategy warm-up. The brave souls should be commended for an epic one point as the ever-lasting opener provided just enough time to gain enough for 5:2.

Down 0-3, Sludge remained determined. Jen tossed a very pretty flick bender for a score to energize a stampede to take a one-length lead (8-7) at the midpoint.

Down the stretch, Sludge D euthanized Chump’s O. The Triple Crown was achieved -- the cup was impressively stifling; the wings were super active; & the deeps were doing something while everyone’s backs were turned. Nigel showed exemplary D by running(?) swiftly to create a turn on the first throw (...behind every first throw knockdown is a great pull).

At the finish line, big brown raced off with a 15-8 victory; foreshadowing a race track victory.
