Team Poop

The 2003 Endurance Race Debriefing
(Our drinking team has a racing problem.)

Following up on a real team effort at Brainerd International Raceway—our heroes took second in lightweight grand prix—the gang unwound in an unseasonably warm October sun in a less-structured competition.
The troupe—Tex, Karl, Sheldon, John, (Birch couldn't make it), Pat, Nikki, Luc (not pictured) and two youngsters (Zack and Matt also not pictured here) hauled a set of bocces down to Lake Nokomis for an afternoon of d-ball.

Tex’s brainchild was an icy cooler bungeed to a two-wheeled dolly. We all plunged our refreshments of choice into the ice and decreed that whomever was the farthest away from the jack was in charge pulling the cooler. Fortunately, two of the players were of smaller stature and often couldn’t throw the ball far enough to keep from pulling the cooler. They were not, however, the only ones that day to pull pack-mule duty.

While there was no screaming-at-pedestrians rule (which could be said to be “typical” of a D-ball game of Tex’s), we managed to play the ball where it lied, stand on one foot while throwing, and if any part of your body has been permanently altered, whether on purpose or accident, you’re required to throw the ball between your legs. The lovely Nikki arrived too late to play a proper game, but dressed in such a way as to distract one or two players from the task at hand.
Look for Team Poop to have another winning season in 2004, both on track and off. For a closer look at Team Poop, try it at www.teampoop.org.
Sheldon has a real purty mouth.
Tex giggles a lot for a bald guy with tattoos.
For a guy who drinks Zima, Karl can really sling a bocce.
Luc's wondering just where the hell he left his beer. Sheldon's in the background drinking it.
John’s ponytail wasn’t the only thing hangin’ that day. Nice throwin', html-boy.
