At the conclusion of the 2007 summer season, Rodsters Mike and Sarah decided to take a break from bocce. This opened the door for Sweet Touch. I asked him if he wanted to join our team since it had been discussed earlier back when the Terrors were deciding whether or not to stay on Saturdays or move to Mondays.
The Terrors also were up to 10 members and we only had 6 so the numbers made sense for a switch.
After a few days of contemplation, Erik decided to leave things up to fate and made a pronouncement.

Dani couldn't text the news that she was joining If You Want My Bocce?
Just because you're on track to win "best bocce website" don't think you're going to have a successful season.
marc,
true. true. just look at cobra kai. best blog according to floyd but clearly not the best team. we have our work cut for us.
wow, was that comment intentionally mean-spirited?
which comment? mine or marc's?
marc b's.
whatevs. ***yaaawwwwn***
yawn all you like, ringleader. we know the truth about your devious nature.
devious? consider the topic of this post and then ask who is devious. also consider the amount of time that went in to this production, which is simply a thinly veiled rant against our team. you could fill a trophy case with the size of the axe you have to grind.
i simply asked a friend of mine if he wanted to be on my team. if that is devious, so be it. i put out an offer and he chose to join my team. not sure how that is devious. i'm up front about wanting erik on my team.
a thinly veiled rant against your team? not really. more an answer to the name calling thrown my way and erik's way.
i suppose i do have an axe to grind on the general air of superiority emanating from you but whatevs... yawn.
now if you want to make fun of the time i spent putting that together, that is a whole different story. what can i say? i enjoy fucking around on imovie.
the amount of time you spend plotting ways to not have erik in the limo is more fascinating to me than my fascination with imovie.
let it go.
there was no plot. it was simply a tossed-off way of expressing my surprise and disappointment that we were losing two members of our team to a rival and that we learned about it in a 3am text message. never for a second did i actually consider not having them along for the limo ride, nor does this affect my opinion of Erik and Dani outside of bocce in any way.
this video is up there with trapped in the closet 1-12.
next week I call the hot rod award!
jamie,
the word plot was used as a joke. i'd be surprised and disappointed if my teammates left as well. the 3 am text message might not have been the best idea especially if it woke people up but i guess erik thought it would be funny.
my sources say that this is still a major topic of discussion amongst your squad. i assumed it was simply a joke but weeks later it is still being discussed. maybe i'm wrong but that is what informed some of my choices in what i put in the movie.
honestly, i thought the movie was silly. obviously, you didn't. i'm not saying that it was that funny or anything but i do find that you are the king of witty one-liners as long as it comes to putting down others in bocce land. but when it is directed your way, the sense of humor dries up real quick.
i'm glad that this doesn't affect your opinion of erik and dani outside of bocce and am secure in the knowledge that it does affect your opinion of me outside of bocce. i can live with that.
Hey, who is the "the Girl"? Is it Dani? Hi Dani! Or maybe it's Oda? I wonder...
"my sources say that this is still a major topic of discussion amongst your squad." considering that the basis of the formation of the rods (getting "kicked off" the terrors) is still a topic of discussion 2 years after the fact is endlessly silly.
as la chima once said,(but you already know this), the bocce loyalty role playing has gotten pretty tiresome, i think for all of us.
it is only a topic of discussion during these proceedings because i find it the model of hypocrisy to be all upset about a teammate leaving when you guys have from the beginning shown that you don't give a shit about this kind of stuff as long as you are the ones doing it.
the bocce loyalty rule? not sure what that refers to. please explain.
i knew that you guys were going to be upset and if i were you, i'd be as well. all i wanted to do was be on a team with erik and dani. sorry about that. be upset about it for the next 2 years, that is fine with me. but again, the movie and my comments are a reaction to the hypocrisy and general air of moral outrage emanating from your squad.
You know what else is tiresome? Shit talking. Sure it's easy to slap on a buffer of "Oh, it's just a joke and all in good fun," and then jaw and jaw away, but how funny can it be when the other side isn't laughing?
Everyone can all scratch heads and bitch about how Beth and I didn't root for the Terrors during the summer playoffs, but considering the comments directed at our team that have frankly just been rude, mean-spirited and at times curious, why act so surprised? I expect friends to respect each other and there is obviously no respect for us. We've never beaten the Sweet Meats and somehow they have managed to always be gracious winners while kicking our asses. Any joy from beating the Terrors gets tainted by all the reminders of how much we and other teams in the league are so much inferior.
That said, despite what people want to think, for me the content of the comments is not the real culprit here. And never mind that this "joking" has completely crossed over into asshole territory. It’s INCREDIBLY TEDIOUS to have to listen to the same bullshit OVER AND OVER. It's a fucking broken record.
at this point, both teams keep saying the same stuff over and over again. thank god erik and dani switched teams so we have new things to talk about!
yes, it's all incredibly tedious.
but at the same time, don't throw shit and then cry foul when it's thrown back at you. plain and simple.
Can this comment be the last in this thread?
Look, at the end of the day, we're all friends and we all know that. This whole "he said, she said" has gotten out of control to the point of possibly things being misconstrued or taken out of context, which has caused a little anger and little animosity.
Can all of us collectively agree to put this to an end? Shit talking is fun and I get enjoyment out of saying my team is better than everyone else's team. Let's keep the comments and shit talking spoken to those you're shit talking about. Otherwise, what's the point?
I'm glad this rivalry has heated up to a new high point, it's exciting. And I clearly expect Ezra to continue to say the Terrors are better, even after we beat them in October. That's the way it should be.
As the one that switched teams in the first place to begin all this, I'm calling death to these petty comments. If it doesn't end now, it's going to escalate to the point where someone really does get upset. I don't think any of us want that to happen.
The End
wow, just reread these comments. man, it got a bit ugly there for awhile!
one thing i noticed though is that i kept using the word foul. and now the terrors are the wildfowl! i love puns that you have to wait 2 years for the payoff!
