That's right. It's a slow day at the office, so I thought I'd share with you this little missive I just penned to the kickball team I play with on Sunday nights. Vaguely inside jokey (but isn't that what we do best here at AMDAL?), but I think the overarching themes are worth the time. Enjoy!
Okay guys, confession time. We all have skeletons in our closets, and if we're gonna make it through another grueling season of BKKB we're gonna have to stick together -- like GLUE. In order to prevent dissension among the ranks in the middle of the season when things are fer serious and all, I thought I'd air a bit of dirty laundry early on. Guys, I am obsessed with Leif Garrett.
Like.
Obsessed.
Maybe you've seen the shrine website I put together for him. I put a lot of time into it. The color scheme took aaages to perfect and getting the page sponsored was sooo tough (thank goodness Microsoft finally came through for me on THAT one.) The pictures were easy enough to come by (haha I've been collecting them since I turned 13!!!!!!!!), but you can't imagine how difficult it was choosing which ones to put on the homepage and which to leave in my scrapbooks.
Anyway, because I don't want this to become an issue later in the season, I thought I throw this out there now. So I know a name change is probably out of the question (although "Leif Garrett AWESOMENESS" would totes have those JCM fuckers quaking in their cutoffs), but I wanted to suggest maybe a secret play we can keep up our sleaves?
Coaches, this is what I'm envisioning: we're playing some sneaky ball already, but we really want to put the kibosh down on someone (Fun Club or Wyld Stallyns?). So, we throw a little Leif Garrett on the TauntBox -- probably this:
Kyle sprints from the dugout to the middle of the diamond and throws a big timeout T in the air. The umps will stop the game, and the other team will protest.
Jeff, you get really upsetting, yelling nonsense and quoting the kickball bylaws and such (do you think you can handle this part?) and then we will all kind of join in the mayhem. That's when DUSTY, in imitation of Leif Garrett (check), pops out from his camouflage spot just in front of homeplate (note: I havent figured out exactly how this part will work) and scores the backbreaking run guarantee a mercy rule and our unquestioned victory.
What do you guys think?
Please respond with lots and lots of thoughts on the subject. And if you get a chance to sign my guestbook, that'd be swell too.
Bored at work? Odds are we at AMDAL are too. Don't be selfish - share your wit with us either as comments or in email form (allmydealsarelive@gmail.com).
