Candy's Kickball
For my friend Candy's 29th birthday (her FIRST 29th birthday, in fact), she wanted to party through to the very end of her 20's. So she decided to bastardize kickball by turning it into a drinking game. I seriously love kickball. Drinking is not required to heighten my enjoyment of this joyful sport. But I will do anything for candy (no, that is not suppose to read "booze"). ;-)
During my second time up to bat (oops, I mean kick), my feet slipped haphazardly on the wet grass as I sped to second base. This was not a graceful slide, though at least I beat the big red bouncing ball to my destination.
I've now got a lovely purple pattern on my right thigh from sliding into the beer cooler that was holding court at second base. You see, the game required that you drink half a beer every time you reached second base. The first time, I'd run right past the cooler to third, safely avoiding the hangover potential. And this time, I somehow convinced the second-base (wo)man to let me use the beer bottle to nurse my aching thigh instead.

I definitely had fun! You shoulda been there! Our team sucked, though; we were totally creamed. I had a blast nonetheless. Our best player by far was the 9 year-old who plays kickball every week at school. She didn't get to drink at second base, so that probably helped her athletic performance as well. ;-)
i also loved playing kickball as a kid, in fact it would be my favorite thing to do i wish i could get people to play this again with me!! glad you had fun :)
