For the rain it raineth every day...

Panda points for the first on who gets the reference.

The weather displeased me, so I challenged the sky gods:

Motion to play granted!

I've been remiss in posting AARs. It is the preseaon, after all. But time to get back to it.

Let's start as usual--thank you generous Riata hosts, for the beatdowns we gave, and received.

Welcome Morgan and Carson. You made the games 6 on 6, and fought the whole day. Good job getting some trigger time in early. Season starts for real on Memorial Day, so getting in some games early makes good sense. You will get targeted until you prove you can handle things. Nothing personal, just business. Same thing happens to me every time I'm on the front line facing a hitter. You're hanging in there. And all we want is the best game you've got to give, and more!

Dramtis Personae were as follows: Dub, Navy, Javie, Jess, Ford, Scully, Morgan, Carson, Dan, Drunk Steve, Attorney Scott (back in the lineup after extended IR!!), Dan, LJ, Alex, yours truly. Did I leave anyone out?

Water was fairly cold, but this crew has no fear. And it is almost always better to play than not to play.

Big leads were blown by my teams. Jethro on the opposing side overcame a 10 point deficit with his serves. I don't care for the "How many points do we have to blow" mentality. I know it's the preseason, so it's not a bad time to test out new plays or permutations. But I'm still a fan of being first, fast, and accurate, building up a big lead, and keeping it--that allows for a few mistakes down the line...

There was much good banging today, facilitated in no small part by someone who will not be named in this treatise. Let's just put it this way: the unnamed person is not LJ, whose chapped lips sank ships today. Apparently I predicted correctly that he was resting on his laurels regarding the one backset he made last time we played. C- from the professor. I expect more from someone who calls down game.

We played our asses off until sundown.

Javie conveyed some useful information to me at days end. He knows of 2 different pools which contain intelligent life, meaning they have a net, teams, and regular game. What an awesome scientific discovery!

He's invited them to the Hot Gates, but so far no takers. No problem. We are mobile, agile, and only slightly hostile, and would love to travel to someone else's home court to share our culture with them!

It is nice to have a rep. My favorite line today was before we even started playing. Some civilians were seated at King TBone's Round Table, and when the Orb was hoisted out of the fight bag, the following words were said:

"We'd better move, because ball is about to happen, and these guys get down."

Truer words were never spoken. That is what we do:

I require more information about these unnamed watervolleyball pools with teams. Spreading the Gospel is what we do. They must know about the Matrix... it's the least we can do for them.

And, just maybe, somewhere, there's a team that could hand us an honorable death. But years of searching has not made that honorable death come to fruition. What's a player to do?

Usually, the technology we run into on road trips is at this level:

And we're more like this:

Had to get it in there, because it's freaking awesome. Shock an awe. WTF was that? Before they figure it out, game over.
