The Grizzles have requested that this year's ceremony be held on a Saturday, so that they may attend. I would think this would be do-able. Start time maybe 3pm, such that the hosts are not stuck with late night hangers on, and everyone can disband to their own debaucheries thereafter? It's not an un...

Well sure, there's a simple answer to all of my conundrums and postulations: "Just win." But if the answer were that simple, and all encompassing, there would be no questions. Chiefing an all comers public pool, IMHO, involves a balance of competition and camaraderie, you know, the kind of...

As the title says, trash talking, stupidity, and a comedy tribute to Burt Reynolds:

Addendum: Last Saturday game to 21--4 on 4. New guy played. No mercy. He's cutting people up with his serves. Very excited to be winning. That's the proper attitude, ain't it, Savior I had a couple players on my team who are way more used to the 6s, so they don't play 4s or 5s all that often. That's...

It's a sad day for Panda Corps. Attorney Kent informs me that Tom has died. We've had players come and go, and retire, but never a death. Our friend will play no more with us on a court on this earth. He always came out with a big smile, and played his best, even after he was sick. He will be missed...

Well well well. At long last, Pandas are speaking up. To avoid TLDR, the AARs have long since stopped being a blow by blow chronicle of the games' events written from my perspective near the waterline. Nay, they have been written more as semi contemporaneous notes, made at or near the time of the ac...

In addition to the challenges of fighting, the exclusive resort community decided to poison us again. Yesterday it was skin on fire. Maybe because I had less skin today, it was the eyes. 10 minutes! after getting in, my eyes were burning, and vision was cloudy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90rCKf...

Here's a little secret I will share: I don't always know where I'm going, but I often know how to get there. Body rhythm/muscle memory more than anything else. So if you can show up and play well every once in a while and do well, more power to you. Trigger time is important. Get as much as you can.

Will strong, body weak. So I will pen this humble AAR before signing off to (hopefully) live to fight another day. We're in that part of the season where ball gets good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le3xII5yKqE And you know that that also means? You can't play well individually. You have to play ...

Why you're there to fight, there are many reasons. Tell your stories. Just want you there.

This is being talked up. It's a big's world. Getting bigger all the time. So if you're under 6ft, best fight harder:

We have 23 seconds of amazing video of Dan movement up in Dallas, and LJs assertion today that he's really fast.

I'm not sure which way to go on this:

Wow. What a great turnout today. Looks like we have many adherents to the ancient cult of watervolleyball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyxvX1N9Tdg&t=105s And it is good that it is so. I got there late, but it is clear that ballers are getting their s**t together as the season comes to an end...

Ancient history. But somebody posted it. Looks kinda like a cobbled together BBG.

Maybe someday people will talk about our engineering disputes in such fashion:

At least we've got them doing awards, and videos, and replying to trash talk on FB.

It would appear there's a sharing of cultures going on after all!

Every year we get closer. We tell our own players it takes 5 years to develop. This is Austin/Dallas challenge 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNr0WXQ3Ho4 Time is on our side. Every year, we get stronger, they get weaker, until, Ballchair willing, judgment day comes! https://www.youtube.com/watch...

With one video available of AWVP in the books... The Sith Lords seem to be a bit more lenient on our one handed slap and tickle sets. Put me back in, Coach! : ) Looks like we are improving every year. We often tell new players be ready for 5 years of disappointment before you can develop. Same story...

Saturday is already fading into memory. But we had a good crowd. Big Will showed up, and seconded the good crowd motion. He also concussed Mikey, who was out on protocol the next day. We all know the risks. I got a couple fingers jammed. Nonetheless, good fellowship was enjoyed by all. And, in true ...

Also this: Scully, the Catskill comic. I get it because I'm old. New York might, because he's from the region.

Was Scully even born when this came out?
