Moby Kicked.
I had my debut as an adult kickball player yesterday. Let me set the scene:
Time: 1:30 & 2:15 pm
Place: Washington DC National Mall, between the Washinton and WWII Monuments
Weather: A beautiful 70-something degree, sunny, blue-sky day
Result: 0-2, with the second loss coming much more smoothly than the bloodbath of the 5th inning in game one.
Overall it was a lot of fun. Team Moby Kick in the yellow shirts are definitely not there to win the kickball championship...but we will have good times in the beautiful weather. And heck, we may win the flip-cup tournament. It is just like elementary school playground kickball...except that we are all out of college and there are real rules that we must follow (some are more sticklers for those rules than others).
One of the highlights of the afternoon were the alternate team names we came up with for next season (which may not be suitable for younger readers):
-Ball Burn (as sustained by Jeff on his miraculous chin catch)
-We're here for Flip Cup or simply Team Flip Cup
-Last ones picked
-Gym Class Rejects
Note to self: Learn how to kick with your FOOT. Find way to cover lower shin bruise before the prom next week.

Your alternate names are cute. Here are a few more for fun;
Toe Jammers, Kicken Educators, For the fun of it, Toe Tappers or The Side Kicks.
Sounds like you had a great time bruises and all.
