Brooooooooooooooooomball!

Hi Readers!

Last night the Bonz and Toobz took on the Drumz and Dollies in a fierce game of broomball. (If you don't know what broomball is, you just won a date with Wikipedia). We played a hectic two-ball version; organizing any sort of structured game play divided into periods sounds more like something the U$C band would do. In the LSJUMB, we know that reckless abandon is the only acceptable modus operandi on a hard, low-friction surface. The game was not without injury and bloodshed though; several bandies paid dues to the ice.

The teams were the usual rag-tag hodgepodge of players. In addition to an assortment of current students and alumni, each team had its share of ringers from other sections. (Although in this case the "ringers" didn't necessarily bring dazzling skills or even an ability to avoid falling hard on the ice to their teams.) Team Low Brass scored first, but Drumz 'n' Dollies answered with a goal of their own soon after. The horn players eventually won by a wide margin, through superior athleticism and the patience to outlast the drumz' short collective attention span.

So, for the record, BONZ AND TOOBZ BEAT THE DRUMZ AND DOLLIES AT BROOMBALL ON 10/24/07.

It remains to be seen how many bandies will get out of bed for class in the morning; broomball is no joke, and we will all be sore tomorrow.
