Average Joe Dodgeball
I played dodgeball at work today in a blatant attempt to meet people. It was the international search PMs vs. the engineers. Apparently last year the engineers lost badly in volleyball because the PMs were "eight feet tall." Well, they might not be eight feet tall, but the shortest person on their team was taller than the tallest person on our team. The other thing I noticed is that boys don't really like throwing at girls. I was the last person on the engineering team once because no one was willing to throw at me. Unfortunately, I lost when the other guy caught the ball I threw at him.

one of my favorite quotes from dodgeball:
Lance Armstrong: Hey, aren't you Peter La Fleur?
Peter La Fleur: Lance Armstrong!
Lance Armstrong: Ya, that's me. But I'm a big fan of yours.
Peter La Fleur: Really?
Lance Armstrong: Ya, I've been watching the dodgeball tournament on the Ocho. ESPN 8. I just can't get enough of it. Good luck in the tournament. I'm really pulling for you against those jerks from Globo Gym. I think you better hurry up or you're gonna be late.
Peter La Fleur: Uh, actually I decided to quit... Lance.
Lance Armstrong: Quit? You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from the finals?
Peter La Fleur: Right now it feels a little bit like... shame.
Lance Armstrong: Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life. Well good luck to you Peter. I'm sure this decision won't haunt you forever.
haha, my favorite scene when the kid got hit in the face with a wrench. "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!"
