Game on

This past Sunday marked the start of the Potomac Wiffleball League's spring 2008 season. Because the federal government hates wiffleball, we've been forced to move our games to Fort Reno Park near Tenleytown. The location itself isn't too bad, but I miss Gravelly Point and the planes that fly overhead (not to mention it was a short drive from where I live in Arlington).
In addition to new fields, we've also changed our team name to the Crazed Mud Puppies. I had no idea what a mud puppy was until I googled the phrase. I imagined a deranged puppy (dachshund, most likely) rolling around in a puddle of mud. In reality, a mud puppy is some sort of salamander and looks like this:

WTF?
So far we are 1-1 this season. Granted, our win was due to the other team forfeiting, but whatev.

'Crazed Mud Puppies'.... not too shabby, but it invokes the mud wrestling scene from the movie 'Stripes.' I'm shocked your Gravelly Point protests didn't pan out. I always assumed the US Gov cave under the pressure from the Wiffleball union. Oh well, FIGHT THE POWER, and have a great season.
