Yet another phrase I never thought I'd hear.

[yendi]

The Microsoft of Kickball.

I'm amused at the nastiness and pettiness of the drama. Amused, but not amazed. When the stakes are this small, things tend to get really nasty.

wtf is kickball?

Apropos of precisely nothing, what was that paperback-exchange website you mentioned recently? If, in fact, it was you who mentioned it?

The schoolyard variation of baseball, played with a dodgeball, and no bat. I had no idea any adults played it.

I've gotten six books from them already (including the latest Bentley Little and Shadows over Baker Street). I've only managed to get rid of three of mine, which probably means that no one gets my taste. Philistines.

wow, such retardation is just... bizarre.

I've seen adult kickball around Austin for a while, and duelisthouston
played at one point...  I thought it'd be fun to play, but when you've got
idiots like WAKA running around suing everyone else...
talk about taking all the fun out of fun.

Amazing the things one digs up when one plugs one's moniker into a search engine and sifts through the results.

The reason I haven't played in a couple years is we don't have a freaking division anymore. WAKA basically did a crap job of running the Republic division, and an attempt to start the Rodeo division in the Spring/Woodlands area didn't succeed.

An example of why I've always been a tad bit leery of WAKA: you have to sign a non-compete agreement to be on a division board of directors, I think it's for three years.

I'm going to try and find out what became of this lawsuit.
