Rainouts—In the case of a rainout, the website will be updated by 4:00 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 accomplish, so we don’t think this should be an issue… The Morning After… Page 3 www.happyhourkickball.com The Morning After… Page 4 www.happyhourkickball.com The Morning After… Page 5 www.happyhourkickball.com This week’s upcoming Schedule Field Time Home Away 6:30 PM B.O.O.O.M.!!!

Taste the Reign, Bro simply the best team name out there. 10) I’m making Teen Wolf 3, and I need a contribution, is this something that could be of interest to you? Sure, I'd be an extra. Are we playing hockey this time? 11) If your team were one of the 6 actors who has portrayed James Bond, which one would you be? Roger Moore, we're not the best, but you'll remember us long after we're gone. 12) My legs are on fire, what are you going to do to put them out? Cut them off.

Samuel Adams Summer Ale it's got grains of paradise. 14) Who on your team is most likely to lose it and just completely flip out at the fields, in a funny way of course? Charlie.

Follow up question, who is most likely to stab said hitchhiker for looking at them cross-eyed? More like who is most likely to BE a hitchhiker and that is Suvo Sur Sur. He lives life by his own hobo-rules. 4) If your team was an Argentinean Rugby team, and you crashed in the Andes, who on your team would suggest eating people to live, and be honest, how long would the suggestion take to come forth? Well since we are an Argentinian rugby team and Marcos Guzman is the only one who speaks Spanish, he would probably suggest it first but it would probably take at least 10-15 minutes.

The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel 6) Who on your team is most likely to cry to get out of a speeding ticket? Maxwell. She is a manipulator of minds.

He is so calculating, always knows the rules and exactly how to bend them to his advantage. 9) What team in the league would you say you most want to beat on the field, and on the tables? We really want to take down the Booty this year on the field because they are such fierce booty-pirates. On the tables, whichever team Le is on. 10) I’m making Teen Wolf 3, and I need a contribution, is this something that could be of interest to you?

Smother them in ranch dressing and have Heather McFall lick them fireless. 13) If your team were a beer, what type of beer would you be? We would be a pilsner of course, with a good head, light body and slightly nutty. 14) Who on your team is most likely to lose it and just completely flip out at the fields, in a funny way of course? Well we have plenty of people on our team who would flip out for inappropriate and seemingly minor reasons, but the best funny on-the-field flip out will probably go to Blayne “the blade” Wilson son. He is crafty out there and sometimes his enthusiasm gets the best of him. 15) Be honest, this is the most exciting part of your day isn’t it? Yes. 16) Let’s say I owned an RV, and let’s say I needed a place to park it, and let’s say I was living in it, and let’s say it’s parked in front of your house, this a problem? Not as long as you spend your whole day wearing PJs, sitting on the curb and drinking Mickeys out of a paper bag to remind me how to live right. And if you cut the grass. 17) Jeans with no pockets in the back, are you pro or con? On guys, weird, on girls, fabulous. 18) Why did you decide to join HHKB for the summer season? To come back and enact sweet revenge for our humiliating loss in the second round of the playoffs last year. This year, we’re legit with a mix of returning rising stars such as Blayne Wilson and Chris Gamboa Gamboa, salty veterans such as Chris Cunningham and Tara Terndrup and fresh rookie talent like Justin Craver and Erica Dawsey Dawsey. We also love flip cup. 19) What can we expect from your team with regard to bar participation this season? Drunk. 20) Bryant Gumbel or Greg Gumbel? Both, like in the award winning crime drama Gumbel and Gumbel. MGCWBYSSHB, MGCWBYSSHB circa, Summer 2008 The Morning After… Page 10 www.happyhourkickball.com Interview with Where My Pitches At?

Wayne Brady Some of those Looking to Score, Barking Dog, Summer 2008 Random Photo of the Party Starter to fill Space The Morning After… Page 21 www.happyhourkickball.com 2009 Summer Superlative Categories (number of votes in parentheses) In this space each week you will find out where you or your team stands in the superlative standings. Superlatives are sold on a weekly basis at the Barking Dog (unless I am in a particular mood that I just want to have some fun) for $1.00 for five votes, if you want more than five votes you can pay more and get as many votes as you want on the sheet. All proceeds raised from the Superlative voting goes to The Children’s Inn at NIH. You will notice that the categories aren’t broken down by gender, mostly because that seems unnecessary, if you’re the biggest flirt you should get the recognition you deserve! The only category that is not voted on is The Most Charitable Team which is based on how much money that your team spends on these things, and to win that award puts you in high esteem from all your league compatriots just because it shows you’re giving. So get ready for the season and come by the bar starting in Week 2 with some straight cash homies and let’s help out a good cause! Most Spirited Team Drunkest Team MVP Most Flirtatious Player The Morning After… Page 22 www.happyhourkickball.com Drunkest Player Most Charitable Team Deep Thoughts by Dan Holloman A collection of the brilliance that is Daniel Chaney Holloman In this space, Dan Holloman will share some of the knowledge and wisdom that he has acquired throughout his life. From his travels to the highest peaks, to lowest points of the mid Atlantic ridge, to the far east to the unimaginable deserts of California. Dan Holloman has lived more than most of us have or ever will in his short time on this earth so be sure to come back to his column every single week. Consider yourself lucky, LUCKY DAMN IT, to be getting to read this brilliance for free! Shamans, Soothsayers, Wise Men on Mountain Tops have nothing on this man’s man! His often consulted by Presidents, Heads of states, Multi millionaires, CEOs, CFOs, UFOs and anyone in between! So now, without further ado, here is the Best of Dan Holloman, my hero and yours: A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths. If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer? I wear my heart on my sleeve. I wear my liver on my pant leg. Smoking cures weight problems...eventually... Yesterday I saw a chicken crossing the road. I asked it why. It told me it was none of my business. Doesn't matter what you say or do; people can always find a way to call you a dick. Yeah, I know, some people are against drunk driving, and I call those people "the cops." But you know, sometimes, you've just got no choice; those kids gotta get to school! You know, men and women are a lot alike in certain situations. Like when they're both on fire - they're exactly alike. Every eight minutes, someone has sex with an animal...and you wonder why the attack you. Honesty is the key to a relationship. If you can fake that, you're in. It's all about diet. You got to eat right. What's the best thing to eat? Chicken and fish. I'm thinking, why not combine the two: penguin. A penguin's a little bit of both, isn't he? He's a bird, yet he swims, he's a buffet of good health. *thoughts from DH may or may not be from DH and should be consulted at your own risk.* The Morning After… Page 23 www.happyhourkickball.com This ThisSeason’s Week’s Awards Awards The Billy Dee Williams Smooooth Play of the Week This award goes to someone who not only does something well on the field, but in a way that would make even Billy Dee smile!

The Morning After… Page 24 www.happyhourkickball.com Viva La Revolucion con Fiesta Martine! Things to remember during HHKB Scrimmages Welcome my fellow socially awkward companions, who need massive amounts of alcohol to find the courage to try to have unsatisfying sex with strangers that never quite fills that hole in their heart their unloving mother left there. It's kickball season again FUCK YEAH! Another season of running around and playing a sport usually reserved for 8 year-olds on Ritalin. As our first actual scrimmage week approaches I thought I would point out some things to remember about HHKB: 1. Practice They say every great player works all week in practice so they can play during the game. I'm not sure what the hell that means. At HHKB, practice is another chance to cluster together somewhere on the field (usually not a "traditional" position) and talk to friends you see every other day about inane things. Actually HHKB practice is a lot like live games. Important tip- During practice (or a game) when counting the blades of grass, count in bunches of five or more. Can't tell you how many times I made the mistake of counting one at a time only to lose my place and have to start over. But that's life you learn from your mistakes then repeat those mistakes over and over. Little known fact about Field 4, did you know there were 9,612 blades of grass in my eye-line from right field last season? 2. Equipment "A player is nothing without their equipment" - Me As the quote says you can have all the heart, talent and brains you want out there. In the end you’re still some weird naked dude running around the bases. • Shoes - I like the kind that go on your feet the best. Typically having them light enough to walk or run in also helps. Other than that to each their own. Clothes - These make that whole naked thing go away and believe me, the world is going to be thanking you for that. I also think there is some rule about having to wear an official HHKB t-shirt but like all the refs and players in this league I've never read the rules. 3. Have FUN Yes just like little league we're happy that you just showed up. Great part about having fun is there is no right way to do it. Some people's idea of fun is stripping down naked, laying in a bed of velvet while olive oil is rubbed on their bald head. Others like the oil rubbed elsewhere. The important part of course is the velvet! So that's it, should be a great year of kickball and debauchery. 3 years running and not one stomach pumped yet! Let's keep that streak alive! Final note: If you hadn't heard there is going to be an awesome bar crawl this Saturday. The Bethesda Back 9 Bar Crawl. Come on out I'll be there and If see you there I promise to look at you strangely in way that makes both of us uncomfortable. The Morning After… Page 25 www.happyhourkickball.com Barking Dog Power Rankings presented by Bud Light Week 2 — April 17, 2009 1 Don’t Squeeze the Juice (7) – The Juice almost had their entire team out this past Wednesday, and that is obviously gonna vault you to the top spot. 2 Taste the Reign Bro (3) – A good group was there, playing Flip Cup and Pong, and David A passed out a la T-Payne! 3 We’ve Got the Runz (10) – Team was strong in representation with both the old guard and new. 4 My Little Ponies (11) –The Ponies were out in force, this could be an omen, and they broke out some dance that could have all comers rocking and rolling this summer. 5 B.O.O.O.M.!!! (6) – A great group, and it did appear that Annie was baffled by something at one point…what I don’t know! 6 Kick in a Box (4) – A poor showing considering, but those that came out, came out strong. Chris also won Survivor, take that Kakareka! 7 Team of Bumbling Drunks (14) – Slarammee and the Shriners were holding down the left corner of the bar, but it wouldn’t hurt to venture elsewhere. 8 GOT Booty?! (9) – Chip, Miguel and a couple ladies, but participation in bar events needed a little work, you guys can most certainly do better. 9 Looking to Score (13) – While Stephen finds scrimmages useless, her certainly finds free beer to be quite useful. 10 OFF R BALLS (8) – There was Jim, doing his thing on the Flip Cup Table, hopefully the rest of the group can come out this week. 11 Where My Pitches At?

There’s Lili….wait, where did she go? 13 The Hobo Minority Report (2) – Nobody showed, oh Hobos… 13 My Girlfriend Can’t Wrestle, but you should see her box (1) – What a fall for the top two teams from last week….
