Vball Guest Blogger - HARDCORE

In my absence from the vball game yesterday, hardcore wrote her own blog. she rocks.

1. Door emails me that she's ill and isn't coming, kind of pissed then a little relieved
2. I met Mel to head to the game
3. Mel informs me that champion won't be attending via fb book she's injured from the last game???? WTF we are in the casual division, what did she do? We assume her and DoucheDan are a package deal and he won't be attending either.
4. We get are getting sad bc we can only count 5 people who will be attending which means we will probably forfeit.
5. 45 minutes after walking around in the cold trying to find this f'in gym, going in and asking doormen to point us in the right direction- Mel does the only practical thing and hails a cab. We give the driver the exact address and tell him to immediately drop us off in front of the building
6. We don't even bother changing, I'm still in my sweats assuming that we will forfeit and this trip was worth nothing. We enter the gym: TW! It pops into our head, we forgot about the new guy. Perfect we have 6- then we realize that ZogSports only allows 4 guys on the court bc they are sexist sooo Mel and I will be in the ENTIRE game. Yippee.
7. The guys are getting pretty cocky. Brace Face looks over at the grey team warming up, turns to us and says, "If we loose this game I will kill myself."
8. Game 1- Winning by alot... DoucheDan shows up when it's 13- 4. WHAT!?? Ohhh they must be one of those couples. We WIN!
Game 2- WIN!
Game 3- We loose. Not really trying at this point. After the game TW realizes that the 3rd game actually counts! Idiot. But then while changing, congregating about what we are going to do, he gets a volleyball slammed in his balls. He hits the floor. I laugh...for a long time.
9. On our way out "E" the lady ref that watched our performance of Karaoke says to the Creep that ref-ed our game, "That team is crazzzzy." I smile w/ pride.
10. Mel and I come to the conclusion that we have no idea where we are at since a cab dropped us off and we have no idea how in the hell to get to the subway. The "gentlemen" on our team say they will walk us to to train if we have one drink. I still say, no. We walk out the front door of the gym, and what is starring me in the face... The BAR. In all its glory, the only bar right in that area is right in front of me directly across the high schoool, interesting.
11. DoucheDan bails of course. We enter and immediately notice the bar is only packed with Zoggers. We grab a table in the dining room, order a round of pitchers. Norm.
12. Mel- out of no where, yells "We should challenge the grey team to play flip cup." TW flies up out of his chair and is on a mission. He comes back with 11 cups. (That's the only amount of plastic cups the bar could find to give us.) We put tables together and get it going.
13. Our waiter gets pissed that the dining area has turned into college flip cup tourney and no one is ordering food. We notice 2 guys from the grey team casually slip him a wad of cash. Less then 5 minutes later the waiter comes back with 10 more cups! No we are adding more tables to the tourney. We are so happy they guys even get the waiter to join in on a round. Which then follows up by the waiter brining us a free pitcher of beer. Amazing.
14. E comes over, she wants to play! Who's team does she want to be on? ORANGE, obvi. Then she reveals that she already gave us the Spirit Award! :) And she also wants her shirt cut up like ours and she wants Mel to do it for her.
15. Mel and her opponent are awfully flirty at the end of the table. They even go by the fireplace to start off the round. Then she sees a sign at the bar, "Karaoke Every Friday Night." I think she's going back tonight.
16. We decide after this round, game over and time to go home. It's tie! What do we do? We each thumb wrestle someone from the other team, that's a first.
17. Trying to wrap things up, getting on our coats.. Mel decides it would be a good idea to start flirting with the ref we had to gain advantage for the future. He's very into the idea. He said he is always the ref at this location, great. Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of him. He then tells us, not sure why... that he's going to switch the schedule around so he can ref us next week. Sweet??? And its a 7:15 game we tell him, I thought he was going to burst into tears. He cries out like a pussy, "ooh no you guys probably won't still be here drinking by the time I'm done reffing all the other games." Mel tries to calm him down and informs him that you never know with our team and that we stayed at WateringHole for 5 hours before. He gets it together. Can't wait to see him Tuesday!
18. Brace Face secretly goes over and picks up the entire flip cup tab. We yelled at him but also love him at the same time.
19. Get ready Ladies. Game on.
