Actual and Factual News aka Stuff We Didn’t Make Up
Saturday, June 14: Kick Ass Party #1 to be held at the Barking Dog. Cheap drinks, specials and a hell of a time! Get wasted and see your fellow kickballers in their nicest Saturday attire. Party starts at 7:00 pm and concludes at 11:00 pm in the sky lounge (upstairs). Theme to be determined in the coming weeks.
Monday, June 23: Fall Registration is Open! That's right it was so fun last fall we're doing it again this fall. If you're interested, email us to reserve a spot for your team, or yourself as an individual. When: Sundays starting September 7 running through until the Playoff Day, Saturday November 8
Cost: Still the most economical league in the area at $46.00 a person, you can't beat that!
Game Times: 10:30am and 11:15 am so we can get done in time to head to our bar to catch each Sunday's NFL action that's going on that day.
Parties: Still having 3 parties, the Beer OH Lympics and outings during the season itself. We'll defi- nitely hit up a Nats game for sure. I sense a scavenger hunt as well as a Flip Cup tournament...stay tuned.
Monday, June 23: Happy Hour Kickball is going out to hang out with the Nats at their new digs, Nationals Park. The plan is to do a little pre-game tailgating in Lot 8 at good ole RFK starting around 4:30 pm. This will include beer, shotgunning of beer, and maybe some flip cup. Afterwards we hop on the Nats Express and head over to the game. If you’re interested sign up for the event on the Ning page, or shoot us an email at [email protected]
Saturday, July 5: Happy Hour Kickball goes Tubing! Do you feel like rolling down a river in a tube with a beer? I thought you would. This is tentative based on interest. If you’re into it, let us know at [email protected]
Saturday, August 2: Playoff day and Kick Ass End of the Season Party. Details are still being worked out, but count on it being a great way to wind down after a long day of tournament style kickball. Awards ceremony and crowning of the Summer 2008 Happy Hour Kickball League Cham- pion. Can the ‘Runz repeat?
Rainouts—In the case of a rainout, the website will be updated by 4:30 pm, the day of the game. If the rainout occurs after 4:30 pm, the division heads will contact captains, or the appointed contact persons, and it will be the captains’ responsibility to inform their respective teams. Of course our specials at the Barking Dog will still be honored.
Referees—Each must provide a referee, either for the 6:30 pm game if you are playing at 7:15 pm or for the 7:15 pm game if you are playing at 6:30 pm. Failure to provide a referee will count as a forfeit.
Forfeit Policy— Only really occur if you have less than 4 people, this will be very difficult to accom- plish, so we don’t think this should be an issue… The Morning After… Page 3 www.happyhourkickball.com

Confessions from the K Man With the sequel to Twister causing a cancellation of the games, a crucial decision had to be made regarding the bar. To lure us in Chris “I throw my sunglasses at night” Bocquet promised free booze but that also meant having to endure another hungover Thursday. Being that I still haven’t accepted the fact that I am a professional, it was a go for the bar. A good crowd of usual suspects showed up and it turned into a typical kickball night full of drunken dancing, battle of the sexes flip cup, and Partay Martay’s patented “feet falling out from under him” ma- neuver.
Wearing business attire while playing beer pong & flip cup led to questions as to what I was doing with my life, when it hit me that I may be living out a real version of the movie Big. Now I am no Tom Hanks but the similarities were too obvious to pass up. I don’t remember coming across a wish granting Zoltar machine but alcohol can make you do crazy things. All day long I spend my time fooling people at work that I am a responsible employee while having no idea what I’m actually doing but somehow managing to get the job done. I wear the same pair of Doc Martins to work that I’ve had since high school, just like Hanks’ high tops.
Most of the time I’d rather watch TV or play games rather than contribute anything to society and I’m not allowed in FAO Schwartz after an incident with a pogo stick, a trampoline, and a large stuffed giraffe. Thankfully, I don’t have bunk beds or an inflatable Godzilla in my room but I do have a skeeball machine. I made the same face he did when I first ate caviar and have hung out of a limo sunroof in an 80’s tuxedo. Also, there was the relationship with the older woman where I was clearly the immature half who instead of having serious conversations would try and joke my way out of it. You have to feel for his girlfriend in that movie. She had been dating king asshole until playful Hanks shows up and she totally falls for him. Talk about an awkward first time, a fully mature woman and a 13 year boy in a man’s body. How does that work? He hadn’t even kissed a girl yet, now he’s expected to satisfy someone in their sexual prime, talk about pressure. When all is said and done she is left alone knowing that she was banging a minor. There’s no getting back from that one. My guess is she sold that pointy 80’s Subaru and went straight to the bar, never to be heard from again. All in all I’ve pretty much accepted the fact that I may indeed be a little boy and unfortunately … That’s What She Said!
Factual Info from the Playmaker and Mayor All About Scoring - Booty Style by Playmaker

1)Player most likely to score in the hospital? Kate “Superstar”Everngam 2)Player most likely to score with two ladies? Jason “Styles” Bellini 3)Player most likely to score at the bar? Miguel “Notorious” Carillo

FLONG: The Newest Beer Game So, with the storm battering the Bethesda area last Wednesday, all kickball games were can- celled, however this did not cancel the fun to be had at the Barking Dog.
And with the assistance of a keg of Yuengling provided by Happy Hour Kickball, the newest drinking game was brought forth.
From the brain of Aryan Rodriguez (captain of RedBullsHit) the game of Flong was born. Flong basically combines two of our favorite games, Flip Cup and Beer Pong. Initially, the game was called Flip Cup Beer Pong, but was shortened to Flong by Budweiser Mike.
But what are the rules of this newest game and how is it played? Luckily, Aryan was available to give us the lowdown after last Wednesday night’s inaugural game.
The Equipment Needed:
5 solo cups lined up in Flip Cup Fashion on each side of the long side of the table(5 - 6 de- pendent on team size). Cups filled to the lower line as in any Flip Cup game.
10 mini cups (or 5 solo cups) set up in the typical triangle that one would set up if they were playing Beer Pong. The cups are filled to the lower line as you would while playing beer pong.
2 teams of ready and willing drinkers.
The Rules:
Each player stands along the long side of the table in their normal flip cup stance. The game begins much like a normal flip cup game with the two beginning flippers facing off and heading down in the normal order as one would in a normal game of flip cup.
Once one team has gone through all their cups and flipped them the winning team will get to- gether to decide which member of the opposing team who must drink a cup (or two if mini cups are in play) from the beer pong pyramid.
The game continues in this fashion until one team has had all their beer pong cups drank by their opposing team. With the cups that are remaining on the table they are then handed out on an even basis to all of the losing players.
And that’s how the game goes. Do you think you’ve got the skills necessary to step up to the Flong table?!

The Lawman Ledger - June 10, 2008
Who is your Fantasy Woman/Man? by Cory “Big C” Lawson
Ok- so I was cruising the internet about 3:30am a few days ago, no I wasn’t looking for porn; I do that during my morning coffee... nothing gets the day off to a great start like watching DP in the morning! Anyway….. back to the story. I was trying to find something to discuss in this week’s Ledger… when low and behold I stumble across the Entertainment tab of foxnews.com. It turns out that Angelina Jolie is the number one fantasy woman for outspoken lesbian, Rosie O’Donnell. I was kind of surprised to read this in the news, particularly because she doesn’t really do it for me, Rosie that is… Angelina is smokin’!
By the way- little known fact. Back in ’93, my old man made a passing comment to me that he thought Rosie was gay. This was a full decade before she came out- I mean the old man called his shot. My dad is like the Babe Ruth of spotting lesbians! Kudos to you, old man. Ku- dos!)
Anyway, this fantasy girl thing got me thinking. Who would be my fantasy girl or guy- not that there anything wrong with that? For the past few years my friends and I wait for the Maxim Top 100 List to be published- then spend a month debating the selections. The discussion has gotten so heated in recent years that we created our own Top lists- but we limited it to 10 peo- ple. We are such nerds that we combine all of our lists, and through the power of some super- ridiculous excel algorithm we create an overall Top 10 list for just us.
I am about to reveal MY own personal Top 4 to you all. In return, I want each and everyone one of you to send me your Top List, please limit your list to 4. It is helpful to supply photo- graphic evidence. Be creative and let the debating begin.
1) Jessica Biel 2) Scarlett Johansson 3)Stacy Keibler 4) Lacey Chabert
