The 'Staches

Zogsports 2009 Dodgeball

Bohb's Kabobs (a.k.a. The 'Staches)

Meet Bohb's Kabobs. i.e. my dodgeball teammates and I. We like mustaches, and we like Bohb (seated, far left). Our official team name is Bohb's Kabobs, though everyone in the league knows us as The 'Staches.

I'm a big fan of Zogsports, which is a charity league (i.e. we play for a cause), although Bohb's Kabobs is not exactly the best team in it. In fact, last season we were one of the worst. 

It was in our last game of last season, as we hugged the bottom bar of the bracket, that we decided to make light of our sad ranking by wearing matching fake mustaches to the game, and we've been known as The 'Staches ever since. 

Everyone's favorite Zogsports referee is Sam, who has a great sense of humor, and is adored by the girls and respected by the guys. Sam look something like an oversized twelve year old, with his big eyes, smooth skin, and lean frame. We all love Sam.

Good humored man that he is, Sam has repeatedly offered the team terms which, when met, will result in him wearing the fake 'stache. No matter how easy his terms have been, they have always been just out of reach...

Sam: Win three of four games against the two worst seated teams in the league tonight, and I'll wear the Stache to the playoffs.

The 'Staches: got our butts kicked in three of four games.

Sam: If Melissa can make two catches in tonight's game, I'll wear the 'Stache for the rest of the teams' games tonight.

Melissa: makes one catch.

Sam: If Dave can drink his beer faster than me, I'll wear the 'Stach for the rest of the night at the bar.

Dave: barely has his cup to his lips and Sam's finished his beer. Sam clearly has no asosphogus.

No matter how hard we tried, The 'Staches just couldn't meet Sam's terms. Week after week, we went home disappointed. Week after week, that is until this week.

Because this week, after four and a half catches, the most gracefull fall in the history of dodgeball, and some otherwise slick moves on my part, Sam agreed to wear the 'stache. I believe he credited it to my "all around performance."

So my last night in the Zog dodgeball league ended on a high note, with Sam in a mustache. Zog has been great, and I'm going to miss the league and my teammates on it. As far as the ongoing MO vs. NY battle goes...

Both have dodgeball:

MO = 1, NY = 1

But MO doesn't have The 'Staches, Sam, or league manager Andy (who deserves more credit than he got in this blog).

MO = 0, NY = 1

Thanks for five great seasons, Zog, and two great seasons, 'Staches!

Meghan, Sam, and Melissa
