Last Second Loss (thanks to Brick)

Tough loss this week. The game started off with some low female attendance and some of the new rules, known as "Lefty's Wrath", had to be enacted. According to witnesses the reason 2 of our ladies could not make it on time was they were being held hostage by allegedly the "best sandwich ever" despite the fact that it did not contain any meat, and most likely was full of grass and pine cones.

Once the game began we played great with excellent defense that limited their questionably-enhanced kickball skills for most of the game. Trailing 3-0 toward the end of the game our illustrious co-captain came to the plate. With 2 runners on base JJoy blasted a homerun the likes of which haven't been seen since. With the game tied 3-3 and XME playing well we headed to the bottom of the 6th. A kick toward right field for what seemed like a routine play turned out to be a triple when Brick decided he should just watch the ball bounce by him. A walk-off single came next and we lost 4-3. JJoy gets the game ball for his homerun that tied the game, Brick is the douche of the match for his display of "defense".

Having lost by a single run to the defending champs, we felt pretty good about our performance and headed to the bar. Typical XME dominance ensued making all who witnessed the flip cup skills bow in reverence. The XME showing at the bar was great and most of us stayed fairly late, which will come in handy based on 19th's newest challenge, he Last Man Standing Challenge. Every week at 10pm (subject to change) there will be a headcount for all those still standing at the bar. 19th will put up a leaderboard to keep track and will be awarding a keg for the team that finishes with the most at the end of the season. This is a challenge that XME will definitely accept. So be sure to check out the bar and hang around until 10pm if you can!

Post-bar happenings are also a good time, so to that end, here is Drunk Thoughts by Jeremy Joy.

Drunk Thoyughts Sorry!!! (editors note: this was the subject of the email)

I hate everything about the royal wedding. It sucks. Also last time i heard an organ was when i sung chorir with all ythose aother catholotics. I am not anit-ctahtoholic. I am the we have the good of all people down in my heart, down in my heart, down in my heart.

Also, the queen is super old.

Also, I hate Dana for giving a shit about this and making watch thish. I mean I love Dana and everything she stands for but tyhe Royal Wedding. This is almost torture. If i had to watch this or listen to zamir sing in the the shower i would pick zamir.

Terrorist love spicy.

The QUEEN!!!

­­­­­­­­­­Redhead have rabies.

,k'askdfs'erkgjae
The last thing i yoed was not a sense.

GUYS NIGHT!!!!

Elena and Sarah Shut up.

Cat this is a shout out. Talk as mucha s you want. Just say great thin

MORTAL COMBAT!!!!!

Horrible tastsees. I wrote that and read it. Kinda could ba a great cereal. Horrible tasteese, its what n utroricsious preplle eat. !!!!!?!


Peaqple tyhoguht i should wr4ite about closudes that soudns funny.

Letys define hoodkingf up. Hooking up is what you do with a persone that you like. Some people think its making otu. But then we need to get into what is making out and tyhat is way more complicated then phillip and the othe middle girl. Hey my thoughts stoped. What are we talking bout.

World food gestibval. Sound made up. Carspon dauly and the athe Voice, Cee-lo is in they had me at hello. Me, and Carson of the daily Variety.

Queation 1: What is your definition fo hooking up.????

Answer: that is a great question! You people are great!

Question 2: Ohhhh, no one had one. Hooking up is anything that zamir says he does but the oppposite. Hooking up is defintely not making out. It is more but not neccesarrily sex. Its in between. Its not quite second base but it is third. And by is, who TF knows what third is beside oral. Hooking up is what it is. Get it? Me neither! Get a definition that makes snese. Here is one. Hooking up has to involve a partner getting off. Someone needs to get there rocks off. That is hooking up.

Cat breaks rules!!!

I really want a rice (my mouse on my keyboard bounced back here when i was backspacing and i kept it going now idk what we were saying) treat. But one with a K. is it spelled with a K or a Ch. Both these things mean the same thing but who know what thye both say.


I ran out of time this week sorry. I love your all and DKP is a great team to play even though Keehner sucks at the captainship. JK JK.

Jeremy

PS did i just say Just Kiding Jen Keehner or Jen Keehner Jen Keehner or Jen Keehner Just Kicks or any other thing like Jeniffer Keehner Jennifer Keehner FACE!


Thanks to all for another good week, sadly, there will be no kickball this weekend due to Mother's Day. Make sure to thank all your mothers for giving you what you needed to become part of the greatest kickball team ever, or to at least become a loyal fan. Though there isn't kickball Sunday, there are a few other fun happenings this weekend. Friday night we have to say goodbye to 2 former XME-ers in Jeremy James and John Cloutier. There will be missed, so we will need to send them out in XME/XW3 style. Saturday there is a tailgate for the DC United game. There will be free beer and snacks and who cares about the rest. So come join us for some cornhole, free drinking, and then watch the game. Tickets are pretty cheap and definitely worth it. I hope you all enjoy your weekends and I'm sure I'll run into more than a few of you. As always...

Go Balls Deep,
T Rock

XME in the #WINNING Column!

We kicked off our week last week with a brunch at the Mighty Pint with the fun-loving members of Suprise Bitches (XW3) for a delicious brunch of steak, eggs, mimosas, a bartender who obviously had had a good night the night before, and a bear hat. Yes, a bear hat. The bartender was rockin’ a cowboy hat and shades and was clearly down with the XME/XW3 lifestyle as he gave us pitchers of orange juice and kept the bottles of champagne coming almost as fast as we could drink them. Though the drinking skill and overall likeability of the group was apparently too much for other people. A few groups of outsiders dared to venture into Mighty Pint expecting a calm, quiet, boring atmosphere and were so shocked that we dared to have a good time they left after a few minutes of awkward staring and contemplating when their life descended into utter lameness. Basically, brunch was a success…so much of a success that XW3 might have set a record in their kickball game.


3pm rolled around and it was time to get our kickball on. After taking a cab that basically went in the exact opposite direction claiming to be avoiding traffic we arrived at the game a few min early, thankfully avoiding the wrath of Lefty’s Late Rules. Playing the athletically-gifted Interrobang squad, we put up a good all-around showing and pulled out a 9-6 victory and we were off to the bar.


At the bar, the normal display of flipcup awesomeness was out in full force. Week after week we will continue to slowly crush the will of all opposing teams and complete our domination at the flipcup tournament. As we continue to succeed and impress at the bar, I knew it would only be a matter of time before the rumors started flying around about performance enhancers. It’s only natural to claim someone is cheating when you have no shot at beating them. I want to go on record as saying no we have not been receiving any illegal blood transfusions or other cyclist-style procedures to increase our stamina. It’s a ridiculous claim, and frankly, other than Floyd Landis and half of France, I wouldn’t even know where to begin. XME has been working hard our entire adult lives, tirelessly training our minds, fingers, and livers to be able to perform at the level we can and would never ruin it with anything senseless like that.


While in his exceptional form, Jeremy has decided to bring the blog to a whole new level with a new section: Drunk Thoughts by Jeremy Joy. This piece will be written each week when he gets home after the bar, and the legible portions will be presented, unedited for your enjoyment. He will also answer any of your questions, so feel free to send him a text message or tape a note to his arm with your question. With that, I present Drunk Thoughts by Jeremy Joy.

At the presonet I am cooking Ramen Noodles on a stove the I severely deamaged. Lets hope tyhis goes well.

Sorry I cant comment on much at the bar bu is was drunk.. wait a second my romane might be boiling. ....................The best part is that i Just ran into the kitche thinking my Ramen was boiling but i started the wrong burner on the cook top. Oh shit. My ramen wasnt even able to cook,

Now to qeuesstions. Which i realise is spelt really wrong along with the words after that.

Keehner: My favorite gal who is sick at the moment (This is wednesday night, I really hope she feels better) asks how many times I have been in love.

Answer: Does this seem like that type of thoughts but if you must know 2.

That is all the questions I got for today. I will leave you with something I found funny at wednesday kickabll. It had to do with two wow pink teams meeeing togehtere and two brwon dudees meeeting togehtere. They were talking togehter. So the traditional us all say Social brown out including Kevin!. Except Zamir heard the word social and yelled Black Out shortely there after and piointed at Kevin! cause he thought there was a typical black out going on when someone yellled social. Too funny. Maybe too hard to understand too...

Oh, I forgot to ask the rest of the questions by the rest of the quastrionas I am talking about. Oh there is no mas.

I just took a break and Zmair does t ftrust my Ramne noodle cookingk. I say I don;t like Ramen noodle soup but prefer Ramen noodle Pasta. When it is in pasta form you all should eat it.

Closing thoughts: XME is awesome and you all should come to the birthday party this weekend and come to the games the rest of the week. I know SRB is awesome and they are awesome. But they are from us and morphed into one drunk, fun mess. Just embrace them. We are all one big family some fo us drunk (SRB, definitely myself and whomever else wants too) and the rest of us. Kick ass like we know how too.

Also fuck that new york deli isn;t around this seaons at least we have baja fresh and chipoltle. Ridiculousness. Wear flare everyweek all of you and enjoy kickball for what it is! A shit show and a codependent relationship that makes life worth living.


I hope you are all enjoying your week, and even though there is no kickball to look forward to on Sunday, there is a party for the birthdays of 2 XME-ers (Zamir and Dana) and a Suprise Bitch (Kevin) on Saturday. I expect all of you to get in the requisite number of drinks and flips this week and be ready to continue rolling next week and as always…

Kickball is Back!

Its been a long, harsh, outdoor kickball-free winter but thankfully it's over. Spring is here and that means kickball and more importantly flip cup. Heading out of a successful Fall season XME is the reigning flip cup champions and we are ready to continue our bar domination! There are a lot of new things this season and I'm more excited than Kobe Bryant in a Colorado Hotel

The first big change: part of XME has split off to form Suprise Bitches? and though they are a separate team, they are like our sister team and we will do a lot of joint functions/drinking. It's going to be a great season of awesome times for both teams.

This year we have a new captain. Craig has moved on to bigger and better things, and so I, T Rock, will be taking over as Captain, and J Joy has been promoted from Team Drunk to Co-Captain. Be prepared for great things, we plan to improve on every aspect of the team, our performance on the field, our performance at the bar, but especially our record at the flip cup tournament (last year we went 32-3 and won the title).

Finally, we have a good amount of new people on the team. Welcome! Based on last week, I am confident you all will fit in nicely with the XME way of life. We are happy to have you all on the team and can't wait to usher in a new era of domination on the field and at the table.

Last week we had a good showing on the field and a better showing at the bar and I know that was the only beginning. Here's to a good season and until next time...

Go Balls Deep,
T Rock
