Chirp Post 2: Electric Boogaloo

Parity players braved the first snow storm of the year to make it to the dome this past Monday. Yet upon arrival the players found that the flurries were still flying. Here are some of the best from Parity Week 2.

The very first thing I witnessed as I got to the fields was Simon attempt a nifty airbounce pass to Laura for a goal but he put it way out of her reach. All I could hear from the sideline was Dan Thompson’s raspy voice yelling “Airbounce it better next time!!”

The hilarity ensued as both teams had some interesting defensive “strategies” as Morgan commented from the sideline “Neena is covering Mike Lee so that Cory Boucher can cover nobody!?”

Not to be outdone Mikey’s team had some defensive issues as well and at one point after being scored on P-Mo exasperatedly asked “What’s the force? No, I know what the force is! I want to know if you know what the force is?”

In what was a bit of longer series of events Marcus had the disc and P-Mo called for it, “Bail! Bord!” From the sideline Wing jabbed “Marcus is always bored.” Marcus must have heard that one cause he certainly amped it up after that by making one of the nicest layout grabs for a goal I have ever seen Marcus do. It was such an incredible grab that I asked Marcus where he had been keeping those layouts all summer!

Speaking of Marcus and bailing, in our game I had looked to him for a bail but he then promptly planted and cleared all the way up the sideline instead. Marcus gestured as he ran up the line as if to say sorry, but I wasn’t going to let him off that easy. Instead of making a reasonable decision, I decided to blade huck the disc to the endzone making Marcus have to work incredibly hard to keep the disc in play. After the point was done Marcus decided he could repay me with a chirp on my handling skills: “I guess I was going to bail you out one way or another.”

In an unfortunate misunderstanding Pat Mapp forgot to mention to his team that he would be in Australia on Monday and wouldn’t be able to play. An unenthused commentator from the sideline chirped up by calling Mapp the indoor, human embodiment of a disc flip on windy day, arbitrarily deciding the fate of many parity teams.

Back to Cory Boucher doing excellent things: As his game drew to a close, Cory picking up the disc asked the stats keepers “How much time is left?” Morgan interjected with “Enough time to do one more throwaway.” Spoiler Alert: He did. I think I even heard Morgan yell at some point something along the lines of “Cory just stop throwing the frisbee.”

In what was not quite a chirp but certainly hilarious, John Haig’s team played a bit of a prank on him. While he was busy doing captaining things they concocted a plot where they asked John to really pump them up and count in for their pregame cheer extra loud. As John yells as loud as he can “3! 2! 1! BURNT TOAST!!!” his entire team all silently walked away.

Pascal was in a good mood (probably cause he was well rested from sleeping through half his game) and decided to give Alyssa a little jab as she was spectating on the sideline with her injured foot. Pascal pointed to Alyssa’s cane asking “Do you also play bridge??” Alyssa probably could have smacked him with the cane for that one but she’s too nice!

In the last game slot of the night on a play that was sure to be a goal Lance got in Katie’s head with some heckling and it caused Katie to drop the disc. I was on the sideline watching and decided to share the fact that Katie doesn't always do well when people are harassing her. Tom Newman chimed in a little too quickly with “Well then how does she put up with you?”

And that Ladies and Gents is back to back weeks of a Newman being friggen savage!  Maybe they get it from all those eggs:)

With that we wrap up another fantastic week! While our salaries might inflate, we are definitely making sure that our heads do not:) Thanks to everyone who submitted a story! Keep them coming for next week!
