>>I'm actually a member of NWAACK...the Northwest Association of Adult
Competitive Kickball.
;-) Schweeeet!
Oh man! That sounds like a heck of a lot of fun! I wanna play too!
Mmmmmm. Mud. Ya know, that single word comes pretty close to
answering the question 'is it a sport?'
"Mum, is there any chance of getting a wee bit muddy?"
It may not be definitive, but if the answer is 'yes' then I think
you can be pretty sure it's a sport. And even if it ain't, its
gonna be Big Fun anyway!
(Mud - it's how a 5 yo spells 'win-win'!)
Secondly, have you ever noticed that if something is fun and even if -
Uh, I take that back - *especially* if that same something is a bit off
the beaten path, there will be someone at evolt who knows all about it
and/or is an active participant? I like that a lot!
>>I'm out drinking a beer and raking leaves and a bunch of muddy
>>20-somethings yell out at me to come play kickball, so I figure
>>why the hell not. Go quickly put on cleats and a skirt, grab a

>>along with everyone else. Great stuff.
Great stuff indeed!
>>And for the record, we don't do any wussy indoor games in the
Northwest.
>>When its 35 degrees and raining hard those rubber balls really sting.
Yeah ... and it's even tougher when you're NOT playing in July!! ;=P
>>PBR is an excellent anesthetic though, orally or topically.
+1!
>>So come on Ron, lets get you out there in the mud and taking a big
>>swing at the ball. I bet its excellent physical therapy.
;-)
Oh maaaaan! As if I didn't have enough temptations to visit the PNW!
I'm gonna have to find a way to get up there! Hey, it's cost effective
too! Have you seen the prices for mud therapy at a spa??? I could buy
a coupla cases of PBR for both teams and still save a ton of money!
A very envious RonL.
(However, being a tad older and more modest wuss,
I'd probably play in me culottes instead.)
