If you answered yes, no, or maybe to any of these questions then this event is for you...

We're pre-gaming on June 7th from 3:00 until gametime and then heading to Petco Park to watch the Padres take on the Mets. All the details are listed here, here, and here.

More Juicy Gossip...

It's another segment from Deep Throat! Well, I have about 2 weeks of gossip to report.

Week 6
After it was announced that Cathy, captain of GNF, was ambiguous. It seems the boys from Scissors are trying to convince her to go straight again for the second week in a row. I observed her getting sandwiched between Jose and Ryan. I don't know if they are the ones to convince her.


A little birdie told me that Mark Wang from HHHHEEEEYYYY missed the game that night because he finally has a.....GIRLFRIEND! Yep, he missed the game to be with her. However, the little birdie said that her and the rest of the team have not met her yet and wonder if she really exists. Maybe she's from Canada and it was his only night with her. Will he bring her around to meet the rest of the WAKA family? Would you bring your gf/bf around us? I know I wouldn't...

Week 7
It looks like there is another couple in the making for cutest couple from WAKA. I was told by one of my sources that Rich from Blue Ballerz was cozying up to Dana from Scissors Me Timber that night. They started to get cozy while playing flip cup. Then they knocked an innocent bar pedestrian over and making her loose her shoe, during their wild an crazy drinking episode.


Is Chris F. from Blue Ballerz getting ambiguous, too? Why I ask? Well, he was caught kissing Sal on the forehead. Was so drunk that he thought Sal was Janna?

Patrick of Scissor Me Timbers was just going crazy kissing women on the lips. He had no shame because he kissed an engaged woman, Karen of Blue Ballerz! I couldn’t believe that one. Oh wait...I can believe it!

Jose, Jose, Jose, what more can we say….he never disappoints with his appearance at Gilly’s. He really wants to win the Most Kickballish award.

Cathy from GNF was Miss Loosie, Goosie. I think the boys of Scissors are becoming successful in convincing to like hot dogs. She was seen smacking Jose's ass. However, I believe her playing a little flip cup caused her odd behavior that night.

Unfortunately, I was unable to get any juicy stuff for Week 8. Either I wasn't paying attention or the kickballers are getting afraid and were on their best behavior.

If you have anything from the Mid-Season party, please do tell. If you feel I left off stuff or I got things wrong, please do correct me. I do like to get things right. Until next time kickballers...behave or you will get mentioned next time!

A Message From Green (unedited by GMOT)

Hello Kickballers-

Since we only won 2 games last season we are quite
happy to just muddy up the playoffs picture for those
teams above us in the standings- which, you will note,
are fewer than there were last season. Down goes
yellow! Down goes red! Look out Blue! It just took us
a while to get our pitching in order is all. I am
thinking the playoffs might be a different picture
than some people have anticipated- a spoiler in the
mix?

After the last two (victorious) weeks I think we are
dangerously on the verge of feeling short lived win
induced euphoria that yellow got early in the season.
That is not to say we plan on losing, but hey who
knows, at least the season has been a great excuse to
make new friends- Adam, Mike, Steve, Birdman, Monica,
and Amber (thanks JANNA!)- laugh a lot, and run around
like a bunch of 10 year olds. What a deal!

Sincerely- the Badgers

Division Party

Hello Everyone,

We will be having our first division party this Saturday, April 26th.

12:30 - 2:00 Belmont Park, rides, bumper cars, challenging your board to feats of strength and skill.

2:00 - 4:00 The Sandbar

Pitchers will be covered at the Sandbar until we reach our budget and we'll also have a couple of platters of munchies.

Also, there will be votes for award winners from last season, as well as a likely rousing game of quarters.

I'll be looking forward to seeing all of you there.

RJ McKay
CA Pacific Division President

Red V. Black May Determine Vegas Qualifiers

So, uh. Green beat us. And then they taunted us. There were tears. A hard fought game, keeping the Red Machine to 1 run is no easy task.



We finish with a doubleheader. First against the upstart expansion team, the Yey Grr Boms, followed by a bitter game against the Black team. This game will likely determine who gets the #1 seed, and the qualification for Vegas for being the best team in the regular season. (Note, both teams in the championship game will also qualify for Vegas, so it's possible for 3 seperate teams to qualify).

Here's how it looks to work (forgive me if inaccurate, this is off since the standings haven't been updated in 2 weeks). Please note, from the standings page, Black has an additional loss, and a tie with orange. Orange has a win and an additional tie, and Black has won their last 2 games.

If Red beats Black, and Orange wins, Orange will qualify for Vegas based on being the #1 team from the regular season.

If Red beats Black and White and Orange loses, we have a 3 way tie, where tiebreakers would be applied.

If Black beats Red and Orange wins, Black and Orange will tie, tiebreakers would be applied.

Orange = Didn't Win

So, uh, last week was interesting. Guess what happened? Orange didn't win. Red didn't win. They played against each other. There was lots of screaming and shouting, and in the end, both sides emerged without a loss. Here's hoping the teams meet in the championship for a dreaded rematch.

This does complicate things a bit though, adding the possibility of the season title and seeding going down to tiebreakers, as Orange, Black, and Red all have 1 loss and 1 tie.

It will be an interesting road.

Oh yeah, and we want Red to win this week.

Dear Ghost Man,

Dear Ghost Man,

I'm a single kickballer, and have a huge thing for one of the players on another team. How do I approach this other team player? Are inter-team relations frowned upon in this league?

Lack of Love

Dear Lack of Love,

This is a common problem for many kickballers. I suggest you try one of these tried-and-true methods for wooing your beloved kickballer.

1. Challenge him/her to a flip cup challenge. Try 2, 5, even 10-Cup Flip Cup. A little drinky-poo doesn't hurt in the lack of inhibition department. Obviously do not attempt to hook up with anyone who is way more drunk than yourself, but if you are equal amounts drunk then no one is taking advantage of the other.

2. Try singing him/her a song via karaoke - no kickballer can resist karaoke. Extra points for wacky dance moves and songs with your beloved's name in them.

3. When all else fails pass a note during study hall or send a friend to find out if he/she likes you.

And remember ALL relationships are celebrated in kickball.

-Ghost Man


Dear Ghost Man,

Recently I've suffered a career threatening injury. I've got a huge gash on my bunting foot. Dr. Andrews is suggesting season ending surgery, but I'm not so sure. What is the best way to deal with injuries in this league?

Wincing Bunter

Dear Wincing Bunter,

Keep playing until your foot falls off. There is nothing worse that not being able to play kickball - any doctor that says things like, "you'll still lead a fulfilling life" is full of shit and should not be trusted. Pour some vodka on your foot (and in your mouth) and go bunt your little heart out.

-Ghost Man

Dear Ghost Man,

I want to know more about you. What makes you tick? How do you reply to emails if you are ethereal? Do "Ghost Mans" have to eat?

Curious Sally

Dear Curious Sally,

Obviously you do not read this blog thoroughly enough. I've already taken the liberty of describing myself and my interest in my profile, there's nothing more that you need to know than that.

I don't really HAVE to eat, but I do enjoy some tasty morsels & libations on occasion.

Deep Throat

HHHEEELLLOOO Kickballers!!!

I’m back. Sorry I’ve been out for awhile, but don’t think you were safe from me. MMMUUWWWAAHHAAAA!!!

Week 3 – The men were very, very drunk that night. Some were behaving in a very weird manner. Mark C. from GNF was so drunk that he didn’t know what was going on. I think that hindered him from getting the Monogamist Award for the season. However, there seems to be a new contender for that award. Patrick from Scissors Me Timbers was acting odd. He wouldn’t stop molesting the women. I saw him going up to women and placing his hands in areas that shouldn’t be there especially with women who had boyfriends. At one point, I saw him trying to kiss Cathy, the ambiguous captain of GNF. I think he wanted to convince her that she should be straight, but I think that made her more determined to play for the same team. Maybe there should be an award called the Fonzie award...the guy who CAN’T get the girls.

Week 4 – Flicup that night could have been a scene on Girls Gone Wild. There were a few midriffs that appeared during flipcup. Unfortunately, these midriffs didn’t belong to the gorgeous ladies of kickball. They belonged to Justin and Rico Suave of Blue Ballerz and Chazz of GNF. At first, Justin tied his shirt to show off his “manly” abs. I think I saw a huge pack. If he didn’t drink so much that night, I’m sure you will find a 6-pack somewhere. THEN Rico Suave decided to join in on the action. Could Justin and Rico Suave be the next cutest couple for WAKA CA Pacific Division? They seemed so cozy rubbing stomachs and hugging each other. I’m telling you, it should be on Girls Gone Wild! In the words of Paris Hilton...THATS HOT!!! I believe Chazz got jealous and decided to take part in it and it became a threesome. Rosemary of HHHHEEEEYYYY decided to show her love for Rico Suave and went down on him and kissed it. If you are thinking something else, then kickball has done their job and you are officially corrupted. She kissed his tummy silly! I think she was trying to convince him that he should leave Justin and stay straight. You would think beer would hinder her judgment and caused her to kiss him; however, a little bird told me that she was only having water for her shots that night. So you make the call...

After seeing all that, I had to go home and celebrate the madness. I just didn’t know it would take me weeks to recover and write this.

Week 5 – Sorry guys, I wasn’t there that night. DON’T think you are safe. I will find out what happened that night on the field and at Gilly’s. Thanks Leppykhan! I will look into RJ’s rendition of Material Girl!

See you on the field...
you still can’t see me!

The More You Know

After an exciting ride at the top for the first few weeks, the yellow team now sits semi-contently at #4 .

Now we've never been one of those ultra-competitive jackass teams (ahem, Slow and Bouncy) but I have to be honest...it felt good to win. REEAAAL GOOD. Each week we found ourselves needing more and more wins to fuel the rush we felt before. And when the winning was over we felt low, lonely, and depressed. So that we found our selves itching for our next fix.

Winning began to affect our social lives. Friends began noticing a negative change in our attitudes, we were suddenly more focused on scoring and beginning to drink less - one of the first signs of an addiction to winning. At work we spoke incessantly of kickball, words like undefeated, and we won AGAIN became regular fixtures in our vocabulary. A couple of us even lost our jobs because of our obsession with winning.

Winning began to take over other parts of our lives as well - which became especially difficult for the three couples on our team (man, we do have a lot of couples on our team) since both parties have to win every single disagreement, everything becomes a huge fight. Hell, Steph and Biff almost divorced over their shared winning addiction. Luckily for their marriage, and for all of us - we were soon forced to face a loss, the only cure for a winning addiction.

They say you can't pull yourself up till you've hit rock bottom - well we hit it, hard. We lost not once, not twice, but three times in a row. To teams that we've beaten before! The detox from winning was hard on all of us, but we pulled through - and came out stronger for it in the end.

Looking back it's easy to see how we fell into a winning addiction, and we want to stop other teams from getting addicted to winning too. Here are some simple changes to look for within your own team that might indicate a winning addiciton:
  1. You've stopped drinking during the game
  2. You leave early from the bar - cause you gotta hit the gym tomorrow.
  3. You've begun ironing your waka tshirt
  4. You won't leave the house on thursday unless your wristbands match your headband that matches your socks that match your shorts that match your waka tshirt.
  5. Your friends look away in shame when you start a sentence with, "My kickball team..." or "On Thursday..."
Remember the first step to recovery is admiting that you have a problem.

One day at a time,
Team HHHHEEEEEYYYYYY

RJ, A Man Of His Word, Word (Warning, Not Turkey Sammich Compatible).

So, apparently there was some buzz at the bar about a song that our very own CA Pacific President sung...

I was told by a little bird that he had told one of the girls on his team that his birthday present to her was for her to pick out any song her little heart desired, and he would sing it. Yo.
This is stull further proof that public humiliation is still the best present someone could give.

For those that missed it, consider this (less disturbing) artists rendition of the "crimescene", and understand why we can't discuss further details. And no, that's not a nipple.
Due to the original objection of the horrible picture... The picture was a bit disturbing (Note by disturbing, I mean hilarious). You can still see it here, if you aren't a sissy pansy crybaby. Still, you should finish your lunch first, just sayin.

The Sprinkler Gods have heard our cries and answered our prayers...

...or so they say.

But I do have pretty creditable insider information that the sprinklers will no longer be an issue on our battle grounds. So we'll see how it goes.

Dearest Yellow

We wanted to show you our love in the form of runs scored against you. Looks like we love you more than you love us... and yet you are the ones wiping away the tears.

Next up, Orange. Pretty good and all from what the records show. I hereby give them a 65% chance of beating Red (somewhere between now and eternity).

It's so nice to have these top matchups right in the middle of the season. Just remember, when Red wins, we all win. When Orange wins, eh.

Tuesday, April 8, 2008

Dear red team,

The only reason you won* against yellow is because many of our players were out...good luck next time - you're going to need it.

Sincerely,

Team HHHHEEEEYYYYY

*If you're desperate enough to really call it a win.

Yellow Vs. Red, An Epic Showdown.

This game has been circled on my calendar for years! YEARS! It's time to get our vengeance after Yellow narrowly defeated us at flipcup several weeks ago.

VENGEANCE!

Seriously though, your team is sooo much better than Red.

Like, you have more wins, and like, your girls are good at flipping cups, and the way everybody just has kickball in their perverse little souls. I can't speak for my teammates, but I just want you to remember, I'll be picturing each and every one of you, regardless of gender, naked when you run the bases. You may want to cover up your "fun parts" with your hands or something. Just sayin.

News10 is feeling the WAKA love...

This is it folks, our first big Hollywood break!! Okay, not exactly but News10 IS coming out April 3rd to do a feature on WAKA Kickball in San Diego... that means YOU! This is pretty exciting and a wonderful opportunity to spread the word about WAKA (and kickball in general) to our local community.

So on Thursday, BE EARLY and together we'll kick balls!!

Almost Live From Gillys

It's 12:22 am on Friday. I'm having a little trouble typing because I'm just a little bit more than buzzed. Yes, I just arrived home from Gilly's. Fresh from a victory on the field and "I'm sorry" free beers from WAKA (which by the way, were awesome).

Tonight was a great kickball night at Gilly's. Everyone was having a good time. Several kickballers were VERRRRY intoxicated - which should make for an interesting DEEP THROAT this week.

There were many many reasons to celebrate this evening. #1 for us Yellow shirts is the fact that we are still #1 in the league....yes we beat Slow and Bouncy tonight (not to gloat, but wooohoo)! #2 we had free beer, if that's not a reason to celebrate then I don't know what is. #3...well I just don't care enough to think of other reasons to write.

All I really have to say is that I hope everyone had and continues to have as much fun as I and my friends around me did tonight.

PS- if you think the GMOT reports too much about the Yellow team - you are right, but that's all I know. If you want to see more of your team posted, then submit articles to GMOTeditor@yahoo.com. I'll post it.

Happy Kickballing!

Yellow = Awesome

Sure the season is still a toddler at only two weeks, but that doesn't mean that the Yellow team (HHHHHEEEEYYYYY) isn't going to brag about being undefeated. That's right, U-N-D-E-F-E-A-T-E-D. Put that in your mouth and chew on it.

In all seriousness, the CA Pacific teams better step it up if you plan to make a dent on Team Yellow's perfect record. They handed the first defeat of the season over to the Rabid Badgers and then blasted through the Yay Ger Bombs (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) - next in the line of futile "opponents", Slow and Bouncy.
Sure, they may have a had a preeetty good game last season, but Team HHHHHHEEEEEEEYYYYY is confident that their athletic prowess will overcome Slow and Bouncy once and for all.

May the best team win.
HHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY!

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

Red Team, Now Humbled.

So, uh, we were going to go give it to the Black team, and promptly fell on our faces.

Red has been humbled, look elsewhere for good teams.

Deep Throat

Deep Throat is sad. Where are the kickballers from yore? We had seasons filled with gossip and secrets. I need scandal and gossip people!!! You are making it very hard for me to replace Perez Hilton.

The only thing I did witness is a fight between a very cute couple from team HHHHEEEEYYYY. But no worries, I was informed their fights usually end in 5 minutes which it did. (IS THAT POSSIBLE!!! WHAT IS THEIR SECRET?) However, I do wish I was a fly on the wall near them to listen in.

Is Cathy from GNF playing on the same team? If you don’t know what I mean, then kickball hasn’t corrupted you yet. She was nuzzled nicely between Sara’s breasts, Sara & breasts belong to the Blue Ballerz. I was shocked that the sweet, adorable Cathy was behaving in such an ambiguous manner. Maybe she plays on both teams because I then saw her do that with Matt from the Blue Ballerz. He didn’t have much on his chest, but he did say that Cathy will give him a lap dance later.

Well, that’s it for now. Have a fun weekend and see you next Thursday! Oh wait, you don’t know who I am...SUCKERS!!!

Monday, March 17, 2008

Thanks For Coming Out, Blue team.

If you may have missed it, a legendary battle took place on Thursday between the Red Gods and the Blue Ballers.

Blue was up 4-2 going into the bottom of the 5th inning. That's when things got serious. Red put on a clinic for the ages, beating the ball to the gaps and running like the wind in route to the most dominant 1 run come from behind victory that the league has ever seen (at least, so far this season).

Tears were flowing, curses filled the air, and the GNF celebrated yet another victory. The more you try, the more you realize, Red is invincible. You are going to need a mighty big slingshot to beat this goliath.

We would like to thank Blue for coming out to the game. Maybe in a future season they can even have a chance to put up a W in their column. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Mingling Singles Bachelor #1

Line up ladies, our first bachelor of the season is on the prowl.

Name: RJ McKay
Age: almost 30
Occupation: Works for a local hospital, oh and is currently El Presidente of WAKA CA Pacific
Hobbies: Can roll with hard on Guitar Hero (is that some kind of code?)
In his own words: "I try to treat a woman well, very thoughtful, blah blah blah."
Skills: Extremely advanced handsomeness skills

Our first featured single, is your WAKA President. Ladies, let me tell you, he is the hunk of all hunks. In his own mind at least. He is finally single, so it's one of the rare opportunities you will have to see him do his intricate mating dance in his natural habitat.

A little background information on the guy... he was expelled from his former team and thrust upon a new team this season. Many say it's because of his extreme kickball intensity (see, roid rage). Many think it's because he's convinced that he's a vampire after a movie role he had where he won the award for "Worst Supporting Actor, in a Movie, Ever." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100856/.

He went to Evil U, where he got his B.S. in Conversation. It is rumored that he is the brother of the guy on Grey's Anatomy. He's barely two notches over a drooling idiot, but he does still drool, and leaves something to be desired in the "avoiding idiocy" department. A popular rumor is that is so obsessed with big words that he keeps a dictionary under his pillow. He's both handy AND capable. He's (mostly) house-trained. He likes to take long walks on the beach, by himself. He is an enigma wrapped up in a riddle, wrapped up in a rhyme. His rap name is Masta Urge. He's missing his left index toe due to frostbite after climbing Mount Everest. He has a fast car, some say that's because he needs one to escape the law. His weaknesses are many, but in the end, he's the sort of guy you would like to bring home to mother...so you can both make fun of him together.

His biology career has been quite luctrative, identifying several types of fish as well as a considerable amount of study on spiders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._J._McKay. He would tell you (without even consulting with a manual) that fish swim in water, whereas spiders eat things and are generally creepy crawly. His current work mostly involves making sure the sasquatch population is large enough in quantity to be taken off the endangered species list. While singlehandedly curing cancer. He's always wrong, but thinks he's always right. He's always on time - when the word "free" is involved in the event description. He grew up in a town with less people than live on the block Gilly's is on. Millions of people can't be wrong, this guy's a keeper.

Ask Ghost Man

Dear Ghost Man,

Recently I've ended up in a rather awkward situation. I've learned to read people's minds. It started out innocently, it was cool being able to tell what people's impressions of me were. That is until I realized that everyone thinks I'm a douchbag. Seriously, nobody likes me at all! But nobody will tell me to my face. I haven't told anyone that I can read their mind. Part of me wants to let them know that their thoughts are know longer private, but part of me wants them to know so they will stop thinking such mean things about me. What should I do?

-Perplexed Gypsy

Dear Perplexed,

Stop being such a douche.

-Ghost Man





Dear Ghost Man,

Recently I've had an outbreak of termites in my house. It's rather bad since some people have fallen from the top floor of my house to the bottom floor, breaking furniture and themselves on the way down. I don't have enough money to repair all of the termite damage. My friends are in the hospital, and my furniture is broken. I'd like to find higher durability friends, and furniture that can take an impact. Can you help?

-Termites In My Checkbook

Dear Termites,

That is quite the situation you've gotten yourself into, not as bad as that douchebag above though! I recommend that you bulk-up, grow a beard, done some flannel, and move the Pacific Northwest. There you will hopefully befriend some lumberjacks who will know exactly what to do with your woody pests. In an effort to make this transition as smooth as possible for you, I've listed some helpful tips to make friends with lumberjacks.

1. Beer or whiskey - no other drink should occupy your hand or your mouth. That includes water, milk, juice, sodas, and light beers - that [read in girly voice] hydrating crap is for hippies.

2. This one may be difficult, but it's a sure thing. If you can find yourself an extremely large (you might say giant) blue ox - they will accept you as one of their own, no questions asked.

3. Leave your car in San Diego - Lumberjacks don't drive, they log roll.

4. Do not, under any circumstances reveal the fact that you now are or every were associated with a kickball team. Not only will they kick your freaky ass - they will blacklist you from every lumberjack circle in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Canada, and Alaska....and anywhere else where lumberjacks live.

5. When in doubt challenge them to a game of flip cup - it's the universal language of fun!

-Ghost Man

Kickball QOTD (Quote Of The Day)

"Athletes need 'freedom of excess'. That is why we gave them this motto [Citius, Altius, Fortius] a motto for people who dare to try to break records."

-Pierre de Coubertin

Team HHHHEEEEEYYYYYY Dominates

Team HHHHEEEEEYYYYYY were the big winners in last nights games both on and off the field.

They came out victorious in their match-up against the Rabid Badgers (final score: 10-5). And I might add, they looked amazing in bright yellow.

But more importantly - Team HHHHEEEEEYYYYYY dominated in Flip Cup. JuMex (aka Christy Johnsin) won the first round of Survivor flip cup and promptly dazzled fellow kickballers with her tabletop worm, with little regard to her all-white ensemble - now that's a true flip-cupper!

In round two of Survivor flip cup - your very own GMOT Editor and Team HHHHEEEEEYYYYY Co-Captain, Tits (aka Tiffany Billings) reluctantly performed the worm after dominating the flip action, actually she just laid down on the table while other's pushed her across - it sucks writing in the third person!

To top the night off (and just before we were required to move the beer inside) team HHHHEEEEEYYYYY issued a Flip Cup challenge to Gone Nuckin Futz - and so the relay began. It wasn't looking good for HHHHEEEEYYY after GNF won the first two games, but in a classic Cinderalla-come-back, Team HHHHHEEEEYYYYY won the next three rounds and GNF had to bow down in reverence to the Gods of Flip Cup.

Flip Cup


Some of you kickball virgins may be wondering what all the commotion around the big table in the back of Gilly's is. IT's FLIP CUP. Yes, the same flip cup that many of us played in college, or high school for the early beer bloomers.

SURVIVOR FLIP CUP

1. Everyone buys at least one pitcher (hint: you will make more friends if you buy 2 and probably get some action if you buy 3 or more).

2. We gather around the table and fill our plastic cups with a shot of beer. Everyone fills their cup with different amounts - we do not care how much beer you have in there, only that you have some. Not drinking? Still want to play? No problem grab some water or soda to play with. Only when performing a drink-off do we measure and compare beer levels in the cups

3. Someone (usually me) yells: "Cups at the ready" then "Go, Go, GO!"

4. Chug your beer.

5. Set your cup so it hangs slightly over the edge of the counter top.

6. Flick it with your index finger.

7. If it doesn't land upside down, then grab your cup and place at the edge of the counter top again.

8. Repeat steps 6-7 until your cup lands upside down

9. If yours is the last cup flipped then you are out of the game.

10. If you win flip cup - then you will win the respect and envy of all kickballers. That is until we make you do the worm on the table and soak you with beer.

11. Before you even ask - YES! everyone has to do the worm, even you.

BOAT RACES FLIP CUP

At 9:00 pm we are no longer allowed to have alcohol on the back patio at Gilly's, so we bring the game inside. Unfortunately there is not as much room in there for our favored Survivor game - so we turn to our second Flip Cup game, Boat Races.

Boat races is your traditional team, relay-style flip-cup game. You need even an even number of people on each team - or some crazy bastard willing to double (or sometimes triple) flip. You pick a side to start on and choose which direction the team will go. Everyone lines up by matching cups with the person in front of your (your enemy, not your teammate). Then the two starters touch cups and go. Your drink must remain on the table until the person before you has flipped their cup. The first team to flip all their cups wins. Celebration ensues - to celebrate we drink more beer and play more flip cup. We truly are single minded creatures.

TEN CUP FLIP CUP
For the truly bad-ass flip cup connoisseur - we offer ten cup flip cup. This is a flip off between two ballers. This event requires many spectators to cheer on the particpants - if you perform a 10 Cup Flip Cup challenge without spectators, then you are a pretty sad soul. So grab your friends and teammates - random strangers even and step up to the long table in the middle of Gilly's. Each player lines up 10 cups and fills with a shot of beer in each glass. In this game equal amounts of beer should be consumed by both players (because half the difficulty is downing 10 shots of beer). After everyone agrees that the amounts are equal pick up your first cup - cheers your opponent and start chugging and flipping. Spectators should clear the way to the bathroom for the winner who may need to quickly expell large quanities of beer from his/her system. Good luck!

The best way to learn flip cup is to watch. It should only take one game for you to get it. If it takes more than that then you should probably switch to water right away.

Kickball QOTD (Quote Of The Day)


"... I was very good at kickball ... I was wonderful at ah doing that kick and your leg goes up and your shoe went on top of the school ..."

Deep Throat - The New GMOT Gossip Section

Hello Newbies & Veterans!!!!

Welcome to another fun season of WAKA Kickball! I hope you get to enjoy this season by meeting new friends, reconnecting with old friends and of course getting a bit inebriated from playing flipcup, actually I hope you get a lot inebriated - it gives me something to write about.

I am in important person to know in this league - but nobody knows me. I am DEEP THROAT - reporting rampant gossip and tawdry scandals going on within the league. I am everywhere. So consider yourself warned. If you don't want to see mention of yourself here, then you should probably resort to acting like a boring, perfect, little angel. But if I know kickballers - the little devils will be emerging soon. You can say so long to the secret hookups of yesterseason. (You can still hook up, it just won't be so secret anymore!) Who likes who, who did what embarassing thing at the bar - all up for grabs! And oh the pictures that I will post will have Perez Hilton green with envy. You are not safe, no one is....MUWAHAHAHAHAHA.

Who is Deep Throat? That’s for me to know and you to NOT find out. To preserve the journalistic integrity of this column (and my super hero alter-ego), my identity must be kept a secret.

Please keep in mind that this column just for fun - we will use discretion in posting anything that may cause any real harm ;-)

With that said...Happy Kickball!

The Afterparty is at Gilly's!

It’s 10:00 pm on Thursday, I’m at Gilly’s, where the f**k are you?

Did you know: Only 20% of the fun happens on the field, the rest happens at the bar.

Ask yourself this question: Do I really want to miss out on 80% of the fun?

If you answer “yes” or “I don’t care”, then you should look deep within your soul to see if kickball is right for you. I suggest going to the library or donating blood, maybe (if you are feeling edgy) you could shop for car insurance.

Seriously, come to the bar…even if you don’t feel like drinking (have a coke), even if you have to work early (just stay for an hour or two), even if you can’t find a babysitter (wait, that actually is a pretty good excuse). Because Gilly’s is the place to interact with other teams, you play with your team on the field but you play with all teams at the bar, and that is what makes Gilly’s so much fun.

If you do happen to make it to Gilly’s this week, please stop by and say hi, I’m the girl kicking everyone’s ass at flip cup.
Cheers Bitches!
