I can't believe I didn't get more comments for Viper's House of Pain. I thought that post was a shoe in the hole for your surprised comments. Hard crowd.
Anyhoohhooo, we scrimmaged the men's team at rugby last night. It was quite frightening. I got close to having my nose broken, and they were supposedly being gentle and going easy on us. Yeah right. At least there was no blood; but they obviously had something to prove. Men! And the lessons they bring...
I'm also not only flanking, but learning to be an eight-man (or woman, rather), which is the steering wheel of the scrum, or so they tell me. I also get to be lifted up in the air in line-ups, which is like the closest thing I've been to a cheerleader since the thrid-grade, when I hooted for my bros' football teams. At least I don't have to wear a skirt this time. Rugby shorts are definitely preferable. Anything else, gets ripped, as I learned in last nights practice.

oh man. i think if we looked up bravery in the dictionary, we'd find your picture. or maybe crackhead...
that's pretty awesome that your team took on a men's team. i'd die just watching--i can hardly handle junior hight football.
They were taking it easy on you, but guys do always have a little something to prove when it comes to sports or strength especially when women are around. That's the one thing we got on you gals and we can't let you forget it. I had a friend in highschool that would body slam the first person he could get his hands on when ever a cute girl came around. If you were a safe distance away it was fun to sit and watch it happen. Did you accidentally touch any male genitals during the scrum?
well, it was just a scrimmage. maybe i exaggerated the intensity of the experience just a little bit (although it was scary and they were big).
gross, joel. i'm not telling. although, you're becoming such a good blogger. i'm very proud of you:)
and really, joel, what would all the lesbian rugby players think of me? they'd think i was in it for the men, which...
Scary and big??? I hope thats not the genitalia issue. Lesbians in rugby?? I thought they all played softball. I'll say it again-Ellen pleassssse play golf!!!!
daaad! that is inappropriate on so many levels... and i'm too inconsistent for golf.
Your mother thought it was funny.
So,going on to graduate studies??
