Could've been worse, Fung...

You guys could've been "The Olympics"...

Spades Stats, Take 1

Found: The Official Seals of the Opponents!

Was perusing some old and mottled scoresheets from back in the day and found the sketches we drew up...Zak's idea of the Moshdawgs and Fung's idea of the Polish/African Remix were great!

Corporal's Idea

Transcript from an SMS war between Sarge & Fungster on 5/25/07, the day the series resumed:

Sarge: Ready 4 your beatdown? MOSHDAWGS!!!!!
Sarge: Get ready.
Sarge: Chuck Cecil looking to rumble...but where's the ace? Moshdawgs got the Ace! polish/african remix on the ropes!
Fungster: Don't u have 2 teach or something
Sarge: Teaching right now...teaching Asskickin' 101. Lesson today in Spades Whuppin'...
Fungster: Its gonna b so great when we go up 2-0. I will lick the tears off ur face with glee!
Sarge: Yeah? Im a gonna hold u 2 it! Might lose the first 2 on purpose then go on a 7-0 run 4 bedtime...
Sarge: Lick...lick the ace of spades that DEFEATS you... lick the Chuck Cecil that twists the knife... lick the nil six that despairs you. lick the Moshdawg whip.
Fungster: First Chuck gets taken out by the ace, then he twists the knife? I won't fall for your scare tactics. They're as hollow as Cubs relief pitching
Fungster: NYT - At least give Giambi some credit. ?!? That's like giving the Moshdawgs credit for anything they did in Series 1!
Sarge: Practice my boy...mere practice...
Fungster(minutes b4 Sarge's plane was due to take off): Can't turn back now - fly on & accept ur arse whoopin lika man
Sarge: U tryin' to psyche yerself up?
Fungster: just making sure you're prepared for the beatdown
Fungster: On the plane, dreaming of how we're gonna tear u limb from limb. Adam's already cowering like a puppy!
(Corporal makes whimpering noises in the background. He knows what's coming...)

Stat Issues

I'm having a hard time formatting the stats so they appear properly in a post - is there a way to have a spot to attach something that isn't an image Sarge? I suppose I could convert the stat page into an image, that may work as well.

My favorite picture of the tournament so far...

The Fungster, taking a beat-down, Memorial Day Weekend, 2006: Chicago - Moshdawg Cpl.'s apartment...

As we have seen, a will to be flexible is something undervalued, not just by

Fung, but Everybody who voted for George W. Bush, president of the United
States.

I'm down with worshipping dearest Fung on his birthday.

By WINNING 10 OF 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll give you two.  One for this year, and one for all the other years of
your life.  Because Moshdawgs, while they rip and tear and win spades-flesh
from their opponents, they sometimes leave the heart to beat it's last few
beats on some rocks somewhere on the tattered ground.

MOSHDAWGS MOSHDAWGS MOSHDAWGS MOSHDAWGS MOSHDAWGS MOSHDAWGS MOSHDAWGS

And if we want we can have some cake or something.

best,

Sarge

You'll be lucky to win 3 games.  All weekend.  If I remember I'll look up
what the score is & all that.  The Remix needs all the motivation it can
get!

Worst,

K

p.s. You know, Moshdawgs.com is available.  So you could totally be sending
email via Moshmail...
p.p.s. The President is infinitely flexible.  In who he's attacking.  Or
deciding to attack.
