Pain in places I didn't know I had.

Football is fun. Even if I found out AFTER scoring that the elaborate celebration dance Jamie insisted on showing me was NOT in fact a required part of the game. And that after about thirty minutes, the concept of *FLAG* football becomes lost in the desire to dogpile the smallest guy on the field (guess who THAT was!) for which I am thankful that at least Mr. Marko didn't participate. My ribs are turning a nice shade of purple and yellow right about now.

And then I come back and one of my suitemates is a bit more hairy and quadripedal than when I saw him last. And somehow bruises seem a lot more fun.

Good game.

Great game...although I think I hit some people a little too hard there.

By "some people" you mean "me" and by "hit too hard" you mean "threw your shoulder right into my knee", right?

Welll, if you'd moved out of the way. Dude, you so gotta learn to move faster, yo.

Well, Glad to here you had fun! That was the point afterall, the bruise are just a side benefit!

but the celebration dance was the best part!

it was even better than watching you get dog-piled!

Yes, and now my knee is making all sorts of whirr-clicky sounds that are totally not like the whirr-clicky sounds it normally makes, and I've had to dial down my tactile feedback by about seventy percent. On the upside, I now have a baseline of data to use for making a sports-capable prosthetic should I ever suffer another lapse of sanity and decide to indulge.

I sense a snowball fight in your near future...

Wait. Dial down your tacticle feedback? Does that mean we can stick things on you in places you can't see again? Because that was a hoot.

Bring it on, Guthrie. I used to spend winter holidays at my uncle's ranch up in the Colorado Rockies. I know from snow fights.

And no, that does not mean you can stick refrigerator magnets to my leg again. Do you have any idea what a charley horse that gives me after a while?

What is it with boys addressing me by my last name when they know I can whoop them sideways?

That was in the name of science! I only know engines that make cars (and tractors, I suppose) go vroom, how was I supposed to know?

There's a...wobble? I don't know it's hard to explain but it feels strange right near your ankle.

you should indulge. do it. be a joiner.

and the whirr-clicky noise is kinda entertaining.
