NEWS FLASH: NO KICKBALL THIS WEEK
 
THIS WEEK was supposed to be a normal week, but the National Park Service is CLOSING THE MALL to all athletic events. So NO KICKBALL THIS WEEK. We all were planning on it, and we all are sad. But the rain-soaked grounds and the need for the Park Service to prepare the grounds for the Fourth of July mean that we will not be allowed to hold games on the Mall this week. Bummer.
 
And NEXT WEEK is a HOLIDAY week, so we won't be playing kickball next week, either. We'll be pausing to honor the birth of our nation ... and consume beer and artery-clogging foods while in the company of friends. (So it's sort of like kickball, except without all the athleticism.)
 
But the FOLLOWING WEEK (July 12-13) should finally be a NORMAL week. We'll be back on the fields. Yee-haw!
 
The WEEK AFTER THAT (July 19-20) will be our MAKE-UP week, and we WILL BE PLAYING kickball. We will be making up the games that got canceled this week due to the Park Service shutting down the Mall to athletes.
 
And then we head into the PLAYOFFS the week of July 26-27. So there's still a fair amount of kickball left to be played! The fun continues! Don't change that dial!
 
 
Ten in the pink.

"Yes, it's true. I'll be replacing Mike Piazza as the new Pert Plus guy."
 
 
Weather Report: What's the Point?
 
This week's Weather Report been compiled by Special Correspondent Shorty J, aka Yo Mama's Weather Girl. We know you don't need a weather report this week. But what the hell!
 
My favorite Fourth of July things ...
 
- Home fireworks: Who needs D.C. fireworks when you can have them in your
own backyard? Beats that terrible traffic, finding a parking spot (or taking the Metro) and then finding your picnic spot on the Mall in 90-degree weather!
 
- Tasty food: A cookout and beer will never get old. We all grew up on it, and
even our great-grandchildren will continue the Fourth of July
tradition!
 
- My third favorite thing is ... um ... um ... Hang on. I'm thinking! ... Oh
forget it! I can't think of a third reason because I'm still recovering from my
hangover from that AWESOME mid-season party last Saturday!
 
Wednesday: A low of 71 degrees and a high of 88 degrees. AM showers.
30-percent chance of rain. Maximum humidity: 69 percent. Projected

Thursday: A low of 68 degrees and a high of 87 degrees. Partly cloudy. 20-percent chance of rain. Maximum humidity: 65 percent. Projected sunset: 8:37 p.m.
 
 
 
"I am so wet." ... "Dude. Control yourself. It's just a plastic pig."
 
 
The Power Poll
 
The Power Poll means absolutely nothing. Don't take it seriously. If you take it seriously, you will be forced to hold back our hair while we puke.
 
Now that the world famous mid-season party has been and gone, we are hearing reports back from our scouts about what a good time many of our people had. Some of the stories are good. Damn good. So this week's PP is a quiz for you all: Which of the following statements are true, and which ones are false? Give it a try. The first person to email jp@ctam.com with the correct answers wins a FREE PITCHER OF BEER. Go for it!
 
Many props to mid-season scout BETH OLKOWSKI for much of these great bits of dirt.
 
1. Big Kids -- Lady player seen at the bar seen massaging blue phallus-shaped straw. Claimed she was trying to rid it of a kidney stone.
2. Lunchbox KC -- Male player observed pinching several partygoers' behinds. Got into a heated discussion with the girlfriend of one of them.
3. Thick Femur -- Female player observed passing out in lounge area of the bar, and needed to be rescued by Carlton, of all people.
4. Kick-Ass Ballers -- Female player seen standing outside in the rain, having discussion over the availability of a flip-cup table, unaware her white top was becoming translucent.
5. Your Mom's Team -- Drunken romance in the ladies room was broken up by the sounds of retching in one of the stalls.
6. Team Lush -- Became near-despondent when it was discovered that their inflatable pig might be leaking. From its nipples.
7. Yet To Be Determined -- Added to its "most mysterious team in the division" reputation by not showing up.
8. DC Detention -- Explained the absence of several key players by saying that they were attending the wedding of a former teammate who we ALL know is not the marrying kind.
9. Seconds from Disaster -- Not as easy to recognize due to the absence of afro wigs and '80s sunglasses.
10. AA-Team -- Attempted to bring guests to the party and use player names to get the discount. Had a difficult time explaining to the doorman why their IDs didn't match the name they gave.
11. Bad News Barristers -- Roundly booed in the side bar for taking over the jukebox and playing too many Nine Inch Nails songs.
12. Here for the Beer -- Recited lines from "Point Break" with several Big Kids, much to the consternation of the president of the league.
13. Afternoon Delight -- Dance-off in front bar resulted in spilled beer and many more bruised egos.
14. Red Rovers -- Lady player insists that, though she got sick, she wasn't THAT one who got sick. She has a reputation to protect.
15. Recess Appointments -- Had a sudden shocking realization that one of their players bears a striking resemblance to Taylor Hicks.
16. Got Balls -- Captain seen in AC Milan jersey. Captain also seen passed out in taxi cab.
 
 
Flipping out at the Mid-Season Bash.

This week's Everybody Scores! has been brought to you by ...
Your Capital Conference Board of Directors and other random people -- but not as random as the people you hooked up with at the mid-season party on Saturday. Don't believe anything you have read in this newsletter. It is loaded with fabrications, embellishments, and bile.
