Turkey lurkey
UGHH I missed poeku Tuesday so let's rewind a bit and pretend it's still Tuesday so I can get my rhyme on.
Thanksgiving is fun and there's lots of food.
But one thing it didn't have was my fellow booze (rs).
I had some stuffing but I had no bud light.
I drank wine and that just ain't right.
I drank out of a real glass not sure about those.
I prefer my cups to be red as a rose. (or clear)
There was turkey...it wasn't dry.
There was cake and there was pie.
But I still felt a void when the clock struck noon.
This is when I think, "Kickball time soon."
I can't wait to drink up with you all in a day.
And I really really miss you, Faye.

Renaissance poem
Once upon a time there was a group of ladies and lords
Who loved a sport that didn't involve swords.
They loved to kick balls with their feet so high and mighty.
They kicked to their heart's desire, weather they kicked lefty or they kicked righty.
This valient group was known to lands near and far.
For they were awesome on the court but more awesome at the bar.
Word of this lot traveled from one village to the next.
So praise for this group all did bequest.
Every king, every queen, every peasant, every serf.
Knew it was glory this group did deserve.
This team of kickery is worthy of a token and we shall
Give them the gift of free chalices and free ale.
This team was brave and fought to win, fought to lose.
This team because known as Win or Lose We Still Booze.
Held in high regard they were true and fair.
And royal flowing capes they did wear.
Their locks were golden (some of them) and their heads they held high.
And time after time they held shots of tequilla to the sky.
They would cheers to chilvary and they would cheers to the merry.
They drank till their bellies were full of ale and sherry.

mammory
I had some magical moments last night..unfortunately none of them on Court B.
My favorite memory from Court A: It started to rain. It was cold. It was night. It was dark. We were ahead. We were behind. We were still behind. We did not let this get us down. We still cheered...a lot. We lose by 1....and then you all suprise me with the greatest picture book known to man. Thank you thank you thank. It means a lot and I LOVE it.
My favorite moment on the bus: singing karaoke to Hall and Oates - Rich Girl.
My favorite moments from the downstairs bar: Seeing Mandy, winning bar champs and hearing our song play!, when Zack gave a rose, plus a dozen others
My favorite moment from upstairs: when Rick came back to the bar!!!!
My favorite memory from this morning: seeing that bar champ glass shimmering like diamonds next to the sink.
my favorite memory from last night
Yea, winning bar champs WAS a-maze-ing, but my favorite memory went like this:
girl: are you on a team with Nick Demangiold
EP: yeah
girl: grrrr, hrumph, well...just tell him...kelly (i forget the name) says hi...just tell him that...hrumph, growl
girl: are you on a team with Nick Demangiold
EP: yeah
girl: grrrr, hrumph, well...just tell him...kelly (i forget the name) says hi...just tell him that...hrumph, growl
What is your favorite memory of last night?
I'm so happy you asked.
My favorite moment was when they annouced us as Bar Champs - SECOND SEASON IN A ROW!! Last season, I knew it was coming, but this time it came as a complete surprise to me. And I loved hearing Evan's song play at the bar!
Other faves:
- Tequila shots
- the free pizza lianne and I got when the bar closed and the people before us in line bought the rest of the pizza at the pizza place (seriously, what pizza place runs out of pizza at 4am??). They gave us a slice of their pie to share.
-running to first base and not having to run back to the sideline (only happened once)

MVP "Monday"
Let me begin by saying Happy Birthday.
Thanks! I appreciate all the love from you guys...best birthday since I moved up here 3 years ago.
This is your first season playing with WOLWSB. We are weirdos if I do say so myself. How have you liked being on the team?
Loved it. I don't think I could've had an undefeated rookie season with a storybook ending with any other team.
What gets on your nerves more, pigeons or Hangover Friday?
PIGEONS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=yARQWwRQrRo
Do you prefer boxing or kickball? Why?
Kickball...my boxing gym doesn't serve alcohol.
Do you prefer boxes or bags? Why?
Boxes. Excess grocery bags laying around is the most annoying thing ever.
Paper or plastic? Why?
Paper, for the same reason as above.
If you could have anything for your birthday, what would it be?
The ability to do Larry's legendary running man. When "Poison" starts playing, you'll see why.
If someone offered to take you to the fanciest steakhouse NYC has to offer (Outback Steakhouse...obviously) for a birthday treat or to have Aces and Eights open up again…what would you pick?
Gotta go with my red meat. As long as WOLWSB is in the house, I don't need Aces and Eights.
I did a little facebook stalking (creeeepy) to see how old you are today, and low and behold it does not say so I am going to make the executive decision that you’re 26. I’ll just go ahead and play off that.
Haha, that's a good guess ;-)
Ok so what do 20 flip cup games + 6 beer pong games =
Enough to still make it to work on Friday
What do 20 pitchers + 7 weeks of hangovers – 1 undefeated season =
My season if I didn't join WOLWSB. 6-0 baby
What do 10 beer bongs + 20 flip cup games – 4 pieces of pizza =
Longer lasting beer goggles
What do 10 home runs + 10 beer pong games + 6 pieces of pizza – 2 down the toilet =
Me passed out on my bathroom floor (true story)
What do 13 fruit punch 4 lokos + 10 watermelon 4 lokos + 3 lemonade 4 lokos – all of your sanity =
poo poo poeku of magic
8 minutes left and I almost forgot
got to write a rhyme but I won't write a lot.
I spent my wholed ay reading texts from last night
It makes me think, "These people are living life right."
Then I went to class for three hours then home I ran.
Now I am here watching Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.
This week is huge for WOLWSB.
If we play our cards right, first place we could be.
We are bar champs weather we get the cup or not.
And we prove it every week, shot after shot.
Every week the Poppa goes fishing for some bait.
And lures us in with tequilla while at the bar he waits.
And we're dumb and fall for it time after time.
I always regret it once I bite that lime.
Last weekend I went and watched the quidditch world cup.
It was insane watching all those nerds get beat up.
I can not wait till next year. I loved it oh so much.
But it's kickball I play and that is enough.
I took many quizes and a Ravenclaw is where I be.
I have a feeling you would all be there with me.
I think Hogwarts should make a new house for us.
It would be called Boozers and in Boozers you can trust.
We would throw back butter beer at the Hog's Head Saloon.
Dumbledore might get mad if we're not back in the common room by noon.
Actually it's Filch who would get all bitchy and insane.
He and Mrs. Norris are so friggin lame.
I can not stop writing this poem...I really don't know why.
Could you imagine playing kickball while on a broom in the sky?
I would have a firebolt to take me up in the air.
I hated when Cedric Diggory died. That was so unfair!
He was the only Hufflepuff who ever did some good.
And what the hell ever happened to Oliver Wood?
Voldemort sucks. He really kills my buzz.
He also has the weirdest nose there ever was.
And what's up with that long black cape he wears.
He should really let it go and leave cape wearing to kickball players.
This poem was supposed to be short but a long poem it what I choose!
Alohamora. Wingardium Leviosa! Win or Lose We Still Booze.
*Warning: must have knowledge of Harry Potter trivia to read
MVP "Monday"
Your NICKname is Poppa Nick. What is it about you that warrants that NICKname?
It's hard to say, but if I had to guess it would have to be all the life coaching i give the team (when in doubt do a tequila shot)
You recently had a chili cook off in your apartment. Thank you. Did you feel ok the next day?
Surprisingly yes, in fact it actually help finally kill the 4 Loko hangover from Thursday night.
Chili is a mix of many things that when put together taste amazing and trick the senses. I relate this back to WOLWSB. We are many people with different qualities when brought together are....well..ridiculous. I am going to name a member of WOLWSB and I want you to write the first thing that comes to mind:
Zack- Nobel Knight
Rachel- nothing appropriate for children under 18 comes to mind
Divya- I feel this is better expressed with a visual aid (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100342286916094&set=a.10100342277340284.3100377.2315220)
Rick's shark shorts- HOT!
Uncle Larry- Gentile Lover
Kristy- Unicorns, sunshine, rainbows, and bedazzlement
Poppa Nick- Besides good looking, funny, badass, and awesome nothing comes to mind
Lianne- buffalo chicken pizza
The King- Evil Genius Mastermind
You are an amazing kickball player (don't let this go to your head). Where do you think your main strength lies? In your arms or in your legs?
Trick question it comes from the heart (and pre-drinking at Boss Tweeds with "Brooklyn")
You're WOLWSB official 3rd baseman. I think that is the hardest position to play. Ok...now you have to answer.
Are you kidding me it is the most fun! I get to look like I am doing a lot but in fact I just run around in a circle every play and toss the ball to Danny, Stephane, or Evan once a game.
When did you realize you were tall?
It was either the first time I hit my head on the ceiling when running down the stairs to my parents basement or when I passed the 6 foot mark when I was only 12.
You are a packaging engineer. Impressive. You package food! In fact...you package the greatest macaroni and cheese ever made. That is a ton of responsibility. Step by step...describe how you would package a kickball?
First I would open up Google News to see the current world news, then I would check Facebook and the WOLWSB Blog for any interesting updates. Once I had time to fully absorb all of that information I would walk down to the shipping and receiving dock and select a pre-made corrugated box and erect it by hand, then I would place the ball in the box and tape both sides. After that was complete I would head back to my cube all the while admiring my awesome package.
How would you package Danny?
With love and admiration
What is your favorite kickball accessory? Your cape? Your Burberry socks?
Definitely the Burberry socks because Jason's mother gave them to me as a gift after a romantic weekend in the Hampton's
*some people may be confussed. Rick passed on his MVP-ness (hehe) to Nick.
haikuzers for some boozers

MVP "Monday"
So you’re the MVP of an undefeated kickball team. You must be really good. What would you say your strongest kickball skill is?
Well, my most common field position is pitcher. It's where I feel I can contribute the most, and I've learned that if I beg enough times, that's where I'll get placed. People expect me to pitch really fast based on my looks, so when it's a slow ball, they're always thrown off. Probably why WOLWSTB is in the playoffs this season.
I've also tried my hand in reffing this season... needless to say, I'll leave that position to the pros.

I you could kick balls in any shirt color, what color would you pick?
Is this even a question? Heliconia...
Speaking of clothing you have quite an eye for fashion. If you could raid anyone on our team’s closet, who’s would it be and why?
Evan's. If you've seen Evan's wardrobe, this does not require an explanation.
You were the Morton Salt girl for Halloween (it was so cute). Salt really does add a little extra...I don’t know what to food. What is your favorite spice?
I've actually recently joined the mayor's campaign against salt - it should only be used on the roads, or tequila shots with Papa Nick.
My favorite spice is cinnamon. I'm sensitive.
What about your favorite condiment?
SALSAAAA! I finish a jar in one sitting.
You are quite the poet. You especially have a knack for alliteration and playing on words. In the next segment of this interview I will give you an acronym that you must complete (ex: LGW would be Lianne goes where?) Got it? Good!
SHPD: Should have played drunk
NRFW: Never Run for Wackballs
KPBM: Kentucky: Panic BEFORE Manic ... OR... Kickball Players Bust Moves
DCGT: Drink, Cups get thrown
In the next segment of this interview I will begin a sentence, and you must finish it.
I was riding a unicorn and then… it tripped on a cloud and injured me with its horn. That's how I got a belly button.
I prefer flip cup when… the cups aren't glued to the table.
Sometimes, when I put my kickball shirt on I think… Jason's right. I DO look good in Texas Orange!
I really don’t like post its. They… cause people to kick me.
When I’m on Court B with my team I feel… that the stars have aligned.
Living with Danielle is… a lot like living with a lizard.
I am going to learn to speak Spanish because… I want to have secret conversations with Rick. And I once got stuck at a McDonalds in Barcelona for 4 hours. True story.

Almost time to bust out of work
My favorite memory from last night would have to be dancing with the shirtless ninja....and David's body roll! Also...I love love LOVED when I looked at my phone at 7:50 in class and had 5 text messages saying we won.
My least favorite memory from the night was when David told me he hasn't read our blog in a long time...look I know you're busy winning dodge ball medals and what not, but come on!

fgavorite mgemory ogf lgast ngight frgiday
I just remembered being really excited that David wanted to talk to me at the bar last night... and then he told me Lianne made him talk to me so that I could be convinced to leave the bar. MEAN.
But, I think my favorite memory is winning, and my faves almost never include the time on the kickball field. Awesome home run Papa Nick (I thought it was a grand slam...). We really proved ourselves last night!
Also, comparing pizza reactions... when that other team at the flip cup table next to us had pizza, I REALLY wanted some. But they said no. And it took them an hour to eat it! AND THEN ZACK BROUGHT SOME FOR US! And it was gone in 20 seconds.
That's all.
Oh, and the four loko?? Pretty sure I'm still feeling the effects of that...
Hm, and did you know there's a limit to how many tags you can put on a post? I just learned that the hard way.
Is this even a blog post?

MVP Mondays (on a Wednesday) - Zack Shopsin
he's courageous, he's a champion, he loves pizza, he's everything you want from one of our newest recruits on WOLWSB - i would like to present to you, the male MVP of the week, Zack Shopsin! Zack pulled through with an epic pie of pizza last week, right when we started to feel a little too buzzed and needed to take a cheesy break. perfect. thanks for the za Zack, it was super good!
what time is it?
2:09 pm
when is snack time?
When we are the bar all you can drink snacks
when is pizza time?
2-3 hours after we have started drinking
here's an idea i want to ponder with you -- cutting a pie of pizza into 24 slices, eating one slice every hour, on the hour, and calling it "the all-day pizza". it would be for all-stars only, like yourself. thoughts?
I think that a pie stands no chance in a 24 hours with this body
if WOLWSB were turned into a meal - what would it be like? please describe.
I think we would be stake and potatoes a real American classic just like wolwsb
you bought us some pizza last week at the bar - that was pretty fucking clutch if i do have to say so myself. why don't they call you zack "clutch" shopsin? do you have any other nicknames we should know about?
In the bar I'm more then happy to be called Zack the clutch Shopsin
But when I'm on the mound I'm Zrod don't mess with me or I will beat up your dad
if you weren't a chef, what would you be?
if I wasn't a chef I think I would be a farmer plowing the fields living of the land
have you ever considered joining the professional kickball association?
Yea I once tried to join PKA but they do heavy drug testing and I do heavy drugs so it didn't work out
MVP - the way to be. would you like to give a shout out, or dedicate your MVPdom to anybody? parents? pizza dude? kristy? me?
I wanna thank all of my teammates for welcoming me in to Wolwsb I think we can go all the way
sent from my iBorg

almost missed poeku tuesday..dislike.
It' nearly midnight and I am sitting here thinking...there is something not right. I do not feel balanced. What's going on....I need to get my stanza on!!!!
There things I like and there are things I love.
This week I will list all of the above.
I like red wine but I love white.
I like left but I love right.
I like haikus but I love poems.
I LOVE unicorns and don't like gnomes.
I like summer but I love the spring.
I've never seen Star Wars or Lord of the Ring(s).
Weekend at Bernie's..Love that I do.
And I love love love Home Alone 2.
I like texas orange but I love princess pink
I refuse to call it heleconia because that name does stink!
I like Texas but I love N Jay.
I like...no wait..I love Faye!
I like gloves but I love mittens.
I loooove puppies...not really kittens.
In fact I want a dog oh so bad.
Ok now it's time for bed.
This poem is awful.

Four Loko Dreams
At the bodega, looking for some booze
$12 for 6-pack, $3 for a Loko,
Why would anyone buy beer,
When the cost of Loko is so poco,
Danny's place is awesome,
On the roof we drank,
All your roomies and friends,
I'd really like to thank.
I got a little woozy,
From drinking the orange blend,
Thank god you had some chili,
It really deserves a TEN.
Jason ran a marathon,
Damn, that's impressive!
Went from ice bath to party,
Cause he was feeling festive.
Wrapped around his neck,
Was a shiny golden medal,
We all swooned over it,
As if it were precious metal.
We tried to play some games,
But everyone was too tired,
They all passed out,
Watching Boardwalk Empire.

now listen here
now listen here, people, i am NOT taking ANYTHING away from Jason or Mandy - running a marathon is no joke and i applaud their training and ability to cross the finish line. we all know i could not do that.
what i'm trying to say is: what's cooler than running a marathon? ....hmmm....running a marathon while JUGGLING!
Juggling Marathon Runner Leads to Discovery of 'Joggling'
Over 45,000 people huffed and puffed through the ING New York City Marathon on Sunday. The event included incredible running feats by a double-lung-transplant patient, a rescued Chilean miner and Superman.
But none of these heroes compares to one racer, one who courageously bolted through NYC's five boroughs while ... juggling. That's right: one man, three balls, 26.2 miles.
We don't know who the marathon juggler is (photo, left), but a quick search revealed something we never knew existed: the phenomenon known as "joggling."
A combination of clownery and cardio, joggling is a sport Bozo could get behind if he traded in his big, clumsy shoes for a pair of adidas.
But it's not just the red-nosed set who is involved. According to Perry Romanowski, a 44-year-old Chicago-based joggler who created the blog Just Your Average Joggler, there are at least 1,000 beanbag-tossing runners worldwide.
Keep reading to learn more about this wacky sport and watch a video of Romanowski in action.
Juggling and running happen to be a perfect combination, since the arm motion of juggling syncs up naturally with a jogger's gait. If you're already proficient in the court jester's pastime, joggling should come pretty easy -- just haul ass as you lob your orbs.
"Each time one foot hits the ground, the bean bag on opposite side should hit your hand," instructs Romanowski (photo, left). "And look through the balls, not at them. Also, the faster you run, the faster you have to juggle."
Romanowski's love of joggling was born when he ran his very first marathon in Chicago and thought it would funny to juggle during the last half-mile before he crossed the finish line.
"It was so crowded in the beginning that I wasn't able to run very fast, so I just started juggling right away." Romanowski tells Asylum. "One of the other runners asked if I was going to do it the whole way, and I wryly said I would. Without practicing, I juggled 19 of 26 miles. That inspired me to try and juggle an entire marathon, and after that, I continued to joggle and still do it today."
So far, Romanowski has joggled in close to 100 races, including 30 marathons and two ultra-marathons. He also holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest 50-mile run while juggling. (He and his beanbags clocked in at 8:23:52.)
For jogglers who prefer to race only against their own kind, the International Jugglers' Association hosts the annual Joggling World Championships, where runners are required to toss three items as they run.
For the sake of their fellow racers, we hope none of them juggles chainsaws.

MVP Monday - Danielle Abigador
safety first, kids! if there is one thing everyone appreciates, it's safe play. now i'm not going to say we wouldn't sacrifice an arm and/or a leg, i'm just sayin' that let's be smart out there and really make sure that we will live to see another base. this week's MVP, safety all-star, and thusly, the official WOLWSB Safety Officer, is danielle!
my answers are in purple cuz that's the prettiest color in the world. (sorry danielle, i don't know how to format color on this stupid thing!)
so, how does it feel to win, but not really win, MVP for the week?
it actually feels great! some might think this is a backhanded way to give an honorable mention. but i say NAY, NO, HELLZ NA. i've always wanted to be interviewed for a blog and i can't think of a better way to get my first interview! my shuffle run was smart and effective.
what does safety mean to you?
safety means happiness. if you don't fall and bust your face, you're happy. if you don't get punched in the groin, you're happy...catch my drift?
how come you're so good at kickball?
i think it's because i was so bad at running and gym class in high school...i was clearly saving all of my energy for my future kickball team.
if you were kickball court, and i was the rain, what would you say to me?
i would quote mah girl missy..."it's my window, i can't stand the rain!"
i actually LOVE the rain but playing kball in the rain clearly makes me nervous hence my shuffle run.
some people have been making fun of me, danielle. will you beat them up for me?
obvi...my 8th grade nickname wasn't buff girl for no reason...yo!
if you were really, really, hungry, and really, really drunk, how many tacos do you think you could eat in one sitting?
probably 3 or half of one...if i'm too wasted i might just vom. that's graphic but whatevz.
what is your favorite taco?
beef guaco loco with no lettuce or tomatoes from San Loco
if you had to bathe in taco ingredients, which one would you least enjoy bathing in?
hmm, great question! i don't think i would enjoy swimming in taco shells...i feel like it would give me cuts.
will you make me lunch sometime next week? if so, awesome - what would be in it. if not, wtf?
i don't think i'll make you lunch next week because i'm really trying to work on making lunch for myself. BUT if i did, i would make you a classic pb&j sandwich. i have some great chunky pb and nice jelly. ya dig?
you and the captain (finish this sentence)....
love david.
and now, check this out - danielle's two favorite things!
ps - this is our 250th post!

mem o reeee
Memories I like from last night are:
Glitterfy.com - cat Glitter Graphics
-walking into the bar and seeing all of your lovely faces...that was nice.
-everyone in their sweatshirts...that was so nice.
-that time I found the spot in the bar where my feet didn't stick to the floor...that was nice.
Glitterfy.com - cat Glitter Graphics
favorite memory from this morning
finding the towel and snuggie bed I made for myself next to the toilet
yromem
My favorite memory of last night is having the basement of the bar to ourselves for the first half hour or so and starting the party. My other fave is Zack and pizza. Yum. And at the end of the night, I was blown away by Lianne being blown away by the cheap, underpriced cost of garlic knots. Seriously, 5 for a buck!
Undefeated....still
There were alot of things going on last night. The most important of these was that one lucky NYCSSC employee got to update another win for WOLWSB bumping us up into.............wait for it......SECOND PLACE. This is closest to KFK we will ever be...in the standings anyways. I know those 6pm games are tough to make so thanks a billion to those of you (and you too Hamsterdam) who made it. And congrats to WRTL for third place!

Social Tees shout out
Tonight we will be sporting our new flashy WOLWSB sweatshirts! During my quest to find a good deal I came upon a place called Social Tees. I had been to a few places before this on all ends of Manhattan and everywhere was going to charge me AT LEAST $45 per sweatshirt...no way, losers. I was a little weirded out when I walked into Social Tees because it was an animal shelter. I asked awkwardly, "I might be in the wrong spot. Do you do screen printing?" A man named Robert informed me that I was in the correct place. After asking a few questions about why an animal shelter does screen printing he told me they do it to help fund the shelter but make a small profit. Robert was so helpful and gave me and my teamates an amazing price. I am so happy with the end product. I only hope that other teams see our sweatshirts and get some of their own from Social Tees! Who can resist helping a little pup?

really? scantrons?
This is not going to be a fun week for me
I start class again and it's way to early
I wish I could just quit and never go back
But for that my 'rents would give me major flack
School is boring and lame and just plain sucks
I could almost put up with it but
I have class on Thursday nights this time
And this dumb class doesn't get out until 9
so from the hours of 6 to 9 pm
I will be fidgeting and wait till when
I can leap out of my seat and onto the F train
And start to party and not use my brain
All these PSAs tell me not to drop out
But I don't understand what grad school's about
I already earned a degree shouldn't that be plenty
I shouldn't have to buy a scantron at the age of 20 (+5)
I wish I could just play kickball and do nothing more
I don't think that would ever be a bore
No more essays. No more test.
No more professors in knitted holiday vests.
Just foul balls and flip cup and just letting loose!
And living my days with win or lose we still booze.

Last night I had the strangest dream
Last night I had the strangest dream
And this was the theme song
It was all about writing poetry
For our much loved blog
I dreamed I couldn't type my thoughts
They came way too fast
Everyone else was blogging away
And all I could do was sing
And all you ballers didn't know
Simon and Garfunkle
And now I know this is a lie
Because I can blog again

haikuzers for some boozers
You know what they say
Early poeku gets the worm
Worms are gross to eat
Why do birds eat worms?
Small menu in bird landville
Flying must rule, though
Well, who else can fly?
People with capes can fly too!
And kick balls so good!
What if we win it?
Bar champs and field champs, I mean
History books, yeah!
We undefeated
Wee rhymes with fee, so eat it
13th Step sliders!
Cue: I love burgers
I also like good tacos
I eat pizza too
Might grab a bagel
Bagel gives me energy
(to) Run around bases
Thursday, where art thou?
Oh, there you are, in two days
See you later, bro!

Seeing Double..or triple
Action Weekly is so nice I don't even mind seeing it twice...or thrice! Great job Danny!
California Boozin' by the Mamas and the Poppa Nicks
All our shirts are orange
And our sweatshirts black,
Capes may vary,
But our stylin' never lacks.
Last week I was gone,
Chilling out in Santa Cruz,
So sad I missed Halloween,
And Poppa Nick's Booze.
Thursdays are for kickball,
But I was at the beach,
Making fires by the shore,
And yelling out "Big Meech,
Larry Hoover" who are you?
I like our Larry more,
His name is Page,
Kickball badass to the core.
Undefeated we still are,
Making other teams fear,
The have no choice but to forfeit,
Go to the bar, and drink beer.
In first class I was a King,
Even though Rachel had my hair,
Sat next to Drake on the plane,
And he snored like a bear!
My friend's fiancée plays kickball,
With those crazies called WAKA,
We tried to organize flip-cup,
But everyone else was wack-ah!
Really bummed I missed the party,
Poppa Nick sure has fun,
I hope the tequila flowed
Cause I sure as hell had a ton.
Jason tried to call me,
But noises there were a lot,
All I heard was blah, blah, blah,
And all I said was shot, shot, shot.
Seeing all the pictures online,
Brought a tear to my eye,
My favorite part of all,
Was when Evan knocked the shoe tower from the sky.
Did I mention we're undefeated,
Even WRTL has a loss,
Since we have a better record,
We should be the BOSS!
I only missed one week,
But I'm already in withdrawal,
Can't wait for Thursday,
Cause I love all my kickballas.
From Captain Kristy, to the Wall,
Divison, and Hardcore Rick,
Token Black Man Uncle Larry
Pac-man Kenny and Poppa Nick,
Danielle, Faye, and Brittany,
Lianne, Chevan, Nanny, Zack
Mrs. Rachel David Machado
And we really want Molly back!
Let us not forget King Steph,
Yes I even love myself,
But only cause we rule,
winning more than Michael Phelps.
I know it's only Monday,
But this poem I had to write,
And now that it's done,
I bid you all goodnight!

MVP Monday
Since we did not get to play a real game last week there was no MVP. That made me really sad because I love MVP Monday! The only things I look forward to at work on Mondays are lunch and the MVP interview. So I decided we should have a guest MVP and the honor went to Aaron! Check it out the hilarious interview about older women, hugging, and Edward Cullen!
So you work for the league fulltime. Any insider secrets you can divulge?
Geez, just digging right in…No buttering up, huh? Well, Brett is currently drinking water out of a Jameson bottle. Matt has an authentic Peruvian wool mask watching to make sure we’re always working. We’re known to throw bouncy balls at each other, though they must bounce of a wall first (obviously). And if you’re looking to bribe the office staff, our current list of office needs are 1) iPads, 2) Honda Motor-Butts, 3) a Crepe Chef + cookery, and 4) Hypoallergenic Perma-Kittens.
You’re MVP of the third place team in Thursday kickball and you’re not even on the team! That’s quite the accomplishment! How do you feel?
Honored and humbled. In fact, I’d like to thank my terrific modesty for getting me where I am today. But seriously, it was fun barging into your game and thanks to Faye for picking me first for the scrimmage-winning team.
WOLWSB is well on their way to possibly winning an actual medal. We already won bar champs last season. What would you rather win? First place or bar champ?
I am clearly an uber-testosterony alpha male who puts winning above all else. However, people have told me that the friendships earned while becoming Bar Champs will be around well after my body is no longer a prime example of pure athleticism.
If you could wear any NYCSSC tee shirt color for the rest of your life, what color would you choose?
I’m quite the fan of sapphire and purple. Clearly indicating my vain desire to be royalty. The new cedar and (of course) texas orange are growing on me though, perhaps harkening back to my rural upbringing.
I know you have a lot of power. Can we get rid of the name heliconia and call it what it is? Princess pink?
You’ve gotta be careful spending your favors in that way. I mean, do you really want to gain the name princess pink, just to be stuck with sapphire* shirts for the rest of your career.
*Note: the term sapphire has been used for dramatic impact and should be assumed to take the place of any horrible colors including &#*, !@^%, @$#@&, or ^*!$%
You know Microsoft word does not even recognize the word heliconia?
As a proud Mac user, I have given up acknowledging Microsoft as my intellectual standard. Although, I am writing this answer in Word and there is a red squiggly under heliconia.
WOLWSB is having a tough time deciding what sport to partake in during the cold winter months. Any suggestions? And why?
I frequent the Ultimate Frisbee field, but Inner Tube Water Polo has become one of my favorite sports. If the cold or swimming suits aren’t your thang, Bowling @ Brooklyn Bowl is an amazing experience, though big group debauchery is most likely to occur after Dodgeball & Volleyball. Don’t know if that helps or not, but I’ve been trying to decide the same thing!
What do you prefer? Boss Tweeds or Aces (RIP)?
I prefer a bar that is willing and able to treat us as the VIP party crowd that we are. One where the beer and 80’s dance music flow freely and where the cups are always placed half off the edges of the tables.
Halloween is right around the corner! What has been your best Halloween costume?
Once I dressed as a grey-haired old man. A grey-haired old woman with a walker and a colostomy bag hit on me. It was H-O-T-T.
Team Edward or team Jacob?
Happy to be part of the team that doesn’t know anything about either, but I used to have a cat named Ed. And I have a cousin named Jake. Ah, the pressure to decide is killing me!
What sport would you rather see NYCSSC do next? Roller derby or competitive karaoke?
I heart roller-skating.
Curling or laser tag?
In this time of economic and political crisis, we need to stop throwing stones and start setting down our guns. I, therefore, vote for a hugging league.
So you work for the league fulltime. Any insider secrets you can divulge?
Geez, just digging right in…No buttering up, huh? Well, Brett is currently drinking water out of a Jameson bottle. Matt has an authentic Peruvian wool mask watching to make sure we’re always working. We’re known to throw bouncy balls at each other, though they must bounce of a wall first (obviously). And if you’re looking to bribe the office staff, our current list of office needs are 1) iPads, 2) Honda Motor-Butts, 3) a Crepe Chef + cookery, and 4) Hypoallergenic Perma-Kittens.
You’re MVP of the third place team in Thursday kickball and you’re not even on the team! That’s quite the accomplishment! How do you feel?
Honored and humbled. In fact, I’d like to thank my terrific modesty for getting me where I am today. But seriously, it was fun barging into your game and thanks to Faye for picking me first for the scrimmage-winning team.
WOLWSB is well on their way to possibly winning an actual medal. We already won bar champs last season. What would you rather win? First place or bar champ?
I am clearly an uber-testosterony alpha male who puts winning above all else. However, people have told me that the friendships earned while becoming Bar Champs will be around well after my body is no longer a prime example of pure athleticism.
If you could wear any NYCSSC tee shirt color for the rest of your life, what color would you choose?
I’m quite the fan of sapphire and purple. Clearly indicating my vain desire to be royalty. The new cedar and (of course) texas orange are growing on me though, perhaps harkening back to my rural upbringing.

Pappa Nick's Learning Corner Part III
Hi kids it is time for this week’s installment of Pappa Nick's Learning corner, this week’s article is brought to you by poor decisions and incomplete memories. While nursing my hangover today I tried to piece together the events of last night and that's when I remember all the random Whiskey I drank so I felt it fitting to dedicate this week’s learning session to the drink that Ireland and White Trash made famous.
Whiskey like most alcohols started its life as a method for people to cure ailments that affected their daily lives. Some of these ailments include; a cure for colic (leave it to the Irish to get babies drunk to shut them up), small pox, and most importantly ugliness in the opposite sex. The distillation process was brought to Ireland by Missionaries (yep not just a position) in the 6th century and the drink spread like wildfire through the monasteries as a medicinal beverage because of its uncanny ability to cure sobriety. Once the Irish peasantry discovered Whiskey had the ability to get one completely shit faced with minimal effort its popularity grew even more. After King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries the newly independent monks needed to get paid so they moved their distilling process into their private homes and began the first privatized Whiskey production.
Here are some random facts that you may not know about Whiskey
- During Prohibition it was legal for pharmacists to sell Whiskey if prescribed by a doctor, and because of this the Walgreen's Pharmacy grew from 20 stores to almost 400 during this time
- During the American Revolutionary War Whiskey was used as a currency

mem to the ory
My favorite memory from last night was watching David be Rachel.
My favorite memory from last night was returning to the magical land of court B!!!
My favorite memory from last night was seeing Marty McFly, Luigi, Scuba Steve, a valient knight, David, Pippi Long Stocking, the guy from that TV show, Rick's shark shorts, a Cuban Miner, a kitty, Ken in a wig, Evan, a token black guy, twitter, Action Weekly, and Mandy all in the same place.
My favorite memory from last night was winning (albeit a cheap win...I'll take it).
I will also tell you my least favorite memory from last night...not going to the bar. Never again.....never again.

From your favorite Ref
My favorite memory of last night is everything David, specifically learning his sweet dance moves. I'm not sure I did them justice. I learned it's not always easy being a ref. Sometimes you have to make tough calls. And there are so many motions to remember. I don't know how he keeps them all straight. I guess that's why he's the real David, and I'm just posing. And yes, this is in present tense because I'm still wearing the wig. I got so many compliments on it last night, I just couldn't take it off. My boss said "hey David" when I got into the office this morning. So I took the bobby pins out and let down my curls for the world. Now I'm Davida.

I'm not here to talk about the past, I'm here to play flip cup like a champ.
2)How does it feel to be the best?

Oh Danny Danny Danny, when I think of you the following comes to mind: Can I compare thee to a warm summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate than a red rose with no thorns. I am so happy I finally got a chance to express it (profess it) - especially in front of all of these people who are reading it.
8)In 140 characters, how much do you love WOLWSB?
I have to say that my answer to this question is not a simple one. It goes way back for me. The symbolism of this name particulary resonates close to my heart in many ways.
