wow! what a great first poeku tuesday we're having! kristy and danny were kind enough to lend their poetic prose to our beloved WOLWSB blog. all day i've been thinking about the contribution i could make to poeku tuesday and i've found the answer!
below is a joint piece from myself and rachel, my roomie and fellow kickballaz
kickball makes my week go faster, cuz when i'm there i feel like i'm the master
busy planning in my head, how we'll look on thursday's stead
danielle:whats that? stead?
rachel:i'm using my poetic license. didn't you get one in 3rd grade?
ok, so maybe this roomie poem isn't going to work. instead, we'll leave you with this:

haikuzers for some boozers
we love to kick balls
better than balls kicking us
balls don't have no legs
i'm eating lunch now (chicken salad sandwich, FYI)
will play kickball on thursday
damn (yo), i'm really pumped!
i love beer in cups
i love to flip cups over
i love to dance, too
aces and eights rocks
sometimes (poppa) nick wears long plaid socks
and lots of sweatbands
boogers are so weird
really, what is the point of them?
they are fun to pick
Yoda plays kickball
against Vader, he does play
galactic showdown

Happy poeku day!
This week our other favorite blog, Action Weekly featured alot of posts about fashion. There was a lovely picture of Matt's tangerine shirt that was rather snug and left little to the imagination. There was even a post about our capes! In honor of Action Weekly's fashion week, my poem is about WOLWSB kickball fashion advice!
Kickball is unlike any other game.
You gotta look good or suffer shame.
You better impress while you play.
WOLWSB will show you the way.
The first step to lookin good on the court
Is to wear a pair of shorts that are really rather short.
Long pants or shorts just get in your way.
Lots of leg showing is the way to play.
But please girls please, do not appeal.
You can be a lady in the street but a freak on the field.
Another thing that your team can try
Is wearing black lines under your eye
This looks good and can be kind of scary
And will make your opponent feel very unwary.
Glow sticks really sparkle and shine.
And light up the bar while you’re flippin in line!
And last but not least and the best advice to speak.
Is to wear a cape, a different color each week.
They look so lovely and make you feel like you’re flying.
You can run and catch balls without really trying.
A cape is how you razzle dazzle and impress.
It is the most important item to put on when you dress.
You must treat the kickball court like it's a runway.
And strut your stuff while you play!
As you put all your kickball fashions to the test.
Remember this one last request.
It’s not just vital to look fly when you run the bases.
You gotta be able to have fun at aces!

WOLWSB vs LORD OF THE FLY BALLS
That's right team... the sun was shining, the capes were flowing, the Nike eye patches were itching, and WE WON! We proved that we are Lords of Lord of the Fly Balls, 20-19! Now, that score may have been a little close for comfort, but they put up quite a fight, especially one Asian chick with a leg like a donkey on steroids. But we prevailed, and it was spectacular. Two - count 'em two! - innings that we mercy ruled them, a little help in the outfield in the form of Lenny from Frank and Faye's old team and some amazing plays in the field. Way to go team! And of course, true to our name, we brought our A-game to the bar too. Aided by two ringers from the land of Divya's Friends from College, we dominated on the flip cup table (even though we were sometimes on opposite teams). There was dancing, too, although no Walking It Out without our beloved Danielle. And I also realized how crucial the collective ipods of Kristy, Danny, Danielle, and Evan are because we definitely heard Up in Here by DMX FOUR TIMES... a little too much for my taste.
I'm so proud of our team for pulling this one out (that's what she said), and a special shout-out from me to Kristy for giving me the strength and inspiration to be acting captain. We missed you all, and I know we will get one more W in the W column (that's not how that phrase goes, is it) next week!
Now for the MVPs...
The first MVP award goes to Faye! She played as well as I've ever seen, with some great outs at second base, and she even pegged a runner! Which I'm sure is really hard to do because I've never even done it. Faye also deserves the award for handling with grace and dignity the worst tragedy in our digital age... the loss of her phone in the bar. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Faye.
The runner-up MVP award goes to Rachel! Rachel proved herself to be pitcher extroardinaire, handling the in-field very well and covering home base like a pro! Good job Rachel!
So even though a lot of people couldn't make it last night, that doesn't mean those who weren't there can't share in our win. WOLWSB is the most fun group of people I've ever been around, and our passion on the court comes from our love of the team! So in my book, we were all winners last night! Watch and be inspired!

I've got the blooze
Rain or sun, we still have fun!
Blue skies or cloudy, we still get rowdy!
Full team or forfeit, we still look more fit!
Sick or healthy, we drink like we're wealthy!
Awake or tired, we're a team to be admired!

An ode to flip cup!
Flip cup is a game of concentration and grace
And every week we practice at Aces and Eights.
The first step to flipping is yelling, “Match up”
And raising your hands to cheers cup to cup.
Then comes the feeling of tension at the table
As each player flips their cup as fast as they are able.
Beers are downed and sometimes spilled.
Some get schooled by those more skilled.
The game could be determined by the flick of wrist.
The game could be lost by one flip missed.
One team will see victory as they jump and cheer
Because it was them who downed their beer.
One team will reign supreme above the rest.
One team will fight harder. One team will win the test.
One team will win, another will fall.
There is only one team to rule them all.
You can put it any way you choose.
This one team is Win or Lose, We Still Booze!

Time for a little reflection
Another blog that praises sport, fun, and merriness, Action Weekly proposed the question of, "What is you favorite NYCSSC memory."
My answer was:
There are a few moments in my NYCSSC career that I look upon more fondly then others….they are not as pure as meeting new friends so I appologize in advance.
-Once I caught a kickball between my legs. I swear. I have been trying to do this again but I fear it may be a once in a lifetime occurance (no jokes please).
- in a moment of panic a teamate of mine pegged some guy square in the balls to get him out. I assure you it was an accident but the guy got out and limped a little on his way.
-watching Tom from WRTL rip his shirt off in sheer passion while grinding on some girl with such intensity in his eyes…it was like the dance floor at Aces and Eights was theirs and it was amazing.
Danny's answer was:
There was this one time where Kristy (above) from WOLWSB just ripped off her shirt in sheer passion. yup.
What Danny did not realize was the memory was supposed to be NYCSSC related, not personal!
Minds out of the gutter, sickos. I was JUST KIDDING. Also, thank you, Danny. I appreciate the recognition.
Anyway Boozy Boozers, what is your favorite NYCSSC memory?

tweet tweet y'all
some more twitter lovin! i didnt know pavement can talk, let alone tweet. and damn right we update about awesome.
Update: WOLWSB vs. Balls in Your Face
Hey Boozers! I am just going to start referring to Friday as National Hangover Day because that's basically what it has become (for me anyways). So Happy National Hangover Day!
Yesterday's game was probably my favorite kickball game ever. I don't know why but it was so much fun! It could have been that we played really well and would have totally kicked some ass had we had enough people. It could have been that my cape makes me feel like I'm gracefully flying through the sky (I kind of want to yell, WEEEEE when I run in it). It may be that Nick brought us delicious tropical punch (mad props for that). While I believe it was the latter of those that made me feel all warm and fluffy inside during KB yesterday I do want to let you guys know that everyone played really well and I am so very very proud. Now for the coveted awards...
The lady and overall MVP of the game is....Molly! Clap clap clap! Molly really brought her A game and for that she got to use the brand new WOLWSB beer koozy! Who will be the lucky winner next week?
The gentleman MVP of the game goes to...Nick for obvious reasons. Not only is he a baller on the field, but he kept us hydrated! Capri Sun is so nutritious and delicious and expertly sealed and packaged!
The style award goes to...Danielle. Each week Little D (was that what you told the guy you're name was last night?) finds a new and inventive way to wear and style her cape. Last night was no exception!
The best ref award goes to (and will always go to)...David.
I really liked our glow sticks. They were a big bright hit! I had an extra and some guy from the doodie brown team gave me 5 big ones for it. Cha ching cha ching.
I learned a few things between yesterday and now:
1. I love watching you all try (and succeed) at hookin up
2. Vuvuzellas are fantastic for beer bonging...once it hits your lips it goes down soooo smooth
3. I am a little proud that when I had to fill out a form at my eye doctor today and under hobbies I wrote, "Kickball Win or Lose We Still Booze, baby".
WE HAVE A COMEDIAN!
in case you didn't know, divya is hilarious - and everybody likes people who are funny. nobody likes people who aren't funny.
we were gchatting (kristy says i'm a funny gchatter) about our blog:
Divya: hahahaha
i love that the league knows about it!
how could they not
we better be in the action weekly newsletter
or heads will roll
in the meantime, this picture would be much funnier if we were still on the crazy chickens...

Blogs, games, and capes!
Hey boozers! First things first. The greatest blog to hit the internet since I started my live journal in middle school ( I deleted it. Don't even try putting into your google search) is here. Danielle Abigador has launched the official Win or Lose We Still Booze blog! If you haven't checked out I strongly suggest you do! Not only does it look amazingly beertiful and bubbly, but information about games, poems, pictures of robots playing flip cup, and any other relevant information will be posted daily for your viewing pleasure. The people are already starting to talk and tweet. NYCSSC twittered about it (true). KFK did too (true). Anderson Cooper did a segment on it (false). It got more hits then that Perez Hilton site (also false). Here is the address.

Add that to your favorites. Tell all your friends. Call it a day.
Soooo...tomorrow is Thursday....KICKBALL Thursday! Tomorrow's game is pretty early...very early...too early. 6:00 on court B!!!! This is the same spot as last week (Rivington btw Suffolk and Norfolk). Right across form Schiller's for those of you who speak bar. I understand if you have to come late or can't make it. I do hope to see you at the bar though! Let me know if you are missing the game or plan on being late!
Ok if you guys didn't get a chance to look at our million e-mail long chain about this week's theme, it is black eye things that will make us look scary and make the team we're playing (Balls in Your Face) cry out of fear and think twice about putting their balls anywhere near our faces....sickos. Thanks to Nick you girls don't have to worry about wasting you eye liner, boys you can stop worrying about having to go to Duane Read to buy eye liner and Evan doesn't have to worry about having to wash sharpie off from under his eyes. Just from above his upper lip, and his stomach, and his leg, and his arm. Anyways, Nick has purchased these eye accessories for us all so again, let's clap and sing and hug him!
Also, according to the greatest blog in history....the poll tells me that this week's cape color is.......GREEN!!!!! If you don't have a green shirt let us know!
And I can not leave you guys hanging. This weeks inspiration comes in the form of the greatest movie trailer in history. It's about overcoming obstacles and giving into love.....so get inspired!

Kickball is a sport of many things
Kickball is a sport of fun.
Kickball is a sport of strategy.
Kickball is a sport of endurance.
Kickball is a sport of heart.
Above all else, kickball is a sport of style and this particular individual knows that all too well.
I would like to challenge this gentleman to a friendly game of flipcup. I wonder if he's found our blog yet.
a poem
Below is a poem by our beloved captain Kristy. Her words are beautiful and so meaningful. Kristy is great at capturing the true meaning of WOLWSB.
Thursday afternoons are a time of worry.
Then the clock strikes 6:15 (or 7, or 7:45) and we run bases in a hurry.
But the kickball score is not our concern
It’s how many pitchers through which we can burn.
Aces and Eights gets our pay checks each week.
And we grind on their dance floor ass cheek to cheek.
$10 a pitcher is a small price to pay.
Because each week we get to Party in the U.S.A.
We drink and chug and love our brews.
Because Win or Lose, We Still Booze!
