Your latest NSCC scores have been affixed to the scoreboard and are now sacrosanct. The Rocket Powered Tsunami A.K.A. A.J. has left no doubt in the outcome of the season, but there are still some small cogent trees and rocks with which we can cling to, such as: With 4 games left in the '09 season can Mikey L. overcome John Pimpkins and claim second place? And......well, will Eric bring more beer that's imported from Canada?!?

We've played Gates Crescent many times before, but this park still feels uncharted to me, maybe it's the sight of a giant roller-coaster rising out of the trees or the volleyball sand pit or the trolley tracks, whatever the reason I always get a sense of something strange and abstruse just behind a tree or beyond hill;
There is something, grim, in the tulgey wood.
Something, abandoned.


I had problems going in to our game's poison battle between me and Mikey Lyons, it seems I drank so much I could no longer see, but Marika assured me I wasn't blind and the darkness was actually due to the sun dropping below the horizon as a result of the earth's rotation. Otherwise known as NIGHT. Whew!
Anyhoo, that's about it - all other games came to the conclusions that you can read above.

Highlights!

- Savannah hit a shot that ricocheted off a tree (tree trunk?) and thru her wicket. This went along nicely with her Poison Wicket Kill for her first point of the season.

-Not a highlight, but Mikey's shot that blasted off of Ricky's chest is worth mentioning here. He wasn't hurt at all and it's not funny but pretty damn fascinating if you got to see it live.


Here's your NSCC '09 Postcard - Wish you were here!

Love that picture of Mikey, and the lovely use of the word "sacrosanct!"
(I'm not going to lie, I had to look it up in the dictionary. I will now use it in my writing!)
