9 men got out in the gloom and tried to catch passes defended by the darkness and the long arms of the Nantan. Bouquets were tossed. Here’s what I remember.
EH Ruck in Ricky Bobby’s neighborhood left YHC preparing for new guys. Lo and behold we got one. Full disclaimer given.

Football time. Groups of 3. 1 PAX throwing, 1 PAX as receiver, 1 PAX as defender. Sandlot football, best of 3. 2 completions, defender does an exercise. 1 or 0 completions, QB and receiver do exercises. Interception? Defender calls whatever they want.
Exercises:
- Merkins/Dying Cockroaches
- Squats/American Hammers
This was fun, but at the same time, the football faded into the darkness a lot. Especially the blue and black one. No interceptions, which was too bad. Really, as we tend to do, most everybody did all the exercises each time, regardless of whether the passes were caught.
3 minutes to kill, let’s play everyone’s favorite game… “Catch the Bouquet”! Stupid idea to kill time instead of Mary, Q throws the ball backwards over his head, and the PAX that catches it gets to call an exercise, then they get to throw next. You can guess how it went. YHC threw the ball 4 times before anyone caught it. Nobody wants to catch the bouquet, even when it’s not really flowers or has the shackles of marriage attached.
Nantan and 1st F Q came through, and we ended up with:
- Sargento – Merkins (Really?)
- Roscoe – 8-count Bodybuilders
Back to the circle with little time left. Put Urkel on the spot, and he called
- Dying Cockroaches (IC)
and time was called.

Joe Parker got the name “Bouquet” due to his eagerness to get hitched, influenced I’m sure by the stupid events of the day.
Moleskin:
Happy to have the chance to lead today. Learned a lot. Not all new guys are out of shape, as Bouquet showed. I get caught up on being aware and ready to modify things easier, that I can miss chances to make things harder on the spot.
Lots of chances to learn. Glad they keep finding me.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
