Well, the big showdown was last night, and in spite of a few bruises it was a whole heap of fun… And depite being heavily outnubered, the Bloggers more than held their own.
The showdown only really lasted 3 games, the first was tied 2-2 (with yours truely scoring the first point of the night), the Bloggers won the second game, handing Flickr their ass with a crushing 4-2 victory, but the Flickrites made a few changes to their lineup and came back to tie it up with a really lucky 6-2 win… As I said, the Bloggers were completely outnumbered, most of us had to play “ironman whirlyball” by playing 3 competitive games back-to-back while the Flickrites could rest up if they wanted to, so by the third game, the Bloggers reserves were completely spent. But it was still a lot of fun.
Actually, it was a damn near criminal amount of fun, and completely disorganised… It must have been hilarious for an outsider to watch as it was basically 10 bumper cars scooting in super slow motion up and down a court chasing after a glorified golf practice ball, only slightly bigger. To put it into some kind of perspective, there was another set of games going on on the court next to us, and they played like pro’s, high speed, set positions, TACTICS!!! Yes, we must have looked pretty funny indeed.
After the third game it was decided to drop all this silly posturing and have former foes on the same side and thus was born the first stages of rebuilding the burned out bridge that lies between Bloggers and Flickrites. Who knows how long it will last, but with the truce in place, and the flag of peace flying high, it can only means good times ahead folks… In fact, a peaceful meal was had afterwards with everybody having a good time, and an even small group kept the peaceful spirit going long into the night in Decatur, good times.
Anyways, my entire set is here and a gratuitous panorama is here. Enjoy…
