#10 - dodgeball is fun

I play dodgeball in an adult co-ed dodgeball league and it rocks. I just joined two teams with my friend Beth - the cheaters and ben wa balls. 30 minutes to play as many games as you can, 6-8 ppl on a side, 6 balls, all out craziness. it's a pretty intense crazy game and we play every thursday. I did well last night, did some matrix-style dodging, hit some ppl, caught some balls and made my first SCOTTY SHOT (when you are the last person on the court you can attempt a shot from half court, which brings back your whole team)! it was pretty awesome. this isn't the dodgeball from elementary school days but is way more fun. I guess cause we're adults and take the silly game seriously. I still have to see the movie but I guess it's like that...



there are skills involved (dodging, throwing, catching, jumping, and scotty shots) and it's actually a great workout if you don't get thrown out fast and wait in the out line the whole game. there is pick up every friday at friendly house in nw for 2 hours and that is really something to look forward to every week. another great thing about dodgeball is that there is a sponsor bar. so everyone (all the cool kids anyway) goes out to this bar after the games and socializes. it's really some good times. usually the winning team buys the loser a pitcher of beer. cheaters love free beer. a lot of funny things happen at the bar such as leg wrestling, petition signing, singing, dancing, and pile driving. haha, I guess you had to be there.

dodgeball is fun for many reasons, here are a few:
- the game itself
- many instant friends
- awesome bruises to show your friends
- free beer
- hot guys
- good workout
- relive athletic glory days
