AMPC solid

It has been a while between blogs and a number of things have happened. Nic has rediscovered to keyboard and is actually blogging. Ben has reinvented the blog as the forum for classic comedic novellas. Nice. Tim has gone into hiding. Or perhaps since his thesis to a large extent defined his place in the space-time continuum, he no longer exists. Damn hippy. And Si saw Gomez. Am jealous and am secretly hoping that all the American twinkies he's been secretly eating have made him bigger than Michael Moore.

The Aqua Marine Plastic Cups have stormed into the semi finals of the Wednesday indoor soccer lead. Ha. Take that, Putteridge High. Our mixture of rugged good looks, skill, talent and Corey have combined into a largely unstoppable force for self-interested good. We each have our own unique role as outlined below.

DS (me): striker. Combines a large mass with deceptive acceleration and a complete disregard for the laws of gravity and/or physics to be one of the leading goalscorers of the team and (because it is my blog and I'll say what I want) of the competition.

Corey: Captain and Midfield. Utilizes insane level of fitness to run around a lot and generally arrives in the right place at right time to score goals or piss off the shorter members of the opposition.

Tim: Defense and Goal. Uses the 'weasel' method of defense. That is, acts like an epilectic weasel in front of the bunny with the ball. Bunny confused, weasel swoops in for the ball/knee of bunny. Has famously lead to short old gnomish man picking fight with 6'6" Tim.

Mike: Defense and Goal. The disaffected youth pin up of the team, Mike often uses his natural soccer skills with contact lenses to frustrate and block the oppositions offensive offense. Then again, sometimes he neglects to wear contacts and runs at anything that moves.

Nic: Midfield. One of the most effective attacking options of AMPC, Nic has not been utilized often enough. Sadly this is because he is soft and often breaks. Hopefully he will be fit to play in the Semi's on Wednesday with his new and shiny red shoes.

Hamish. Midfield and Goal. The enforcer of the team, Hamish's famed aggression and refusal to back down has lead to several incidents with opposition players and the ref. Voted most likely to interfere with someone's ability to breathe, Hamish often combines well up front with DS or Corey.

Dave M. Goal and right flank. Gets the ball out of the goal faster than the opposition ever expects, this old man can run circles around most of the even older men who play on a Wednesday. His skills in soccer are sadly offset by his fanatical support of Everton FC.

Amanda. Cheerleader. Unsure if Amanda comes to support the team play soccer, or encourage an English style football hooliganism. Might explain Hamish. Has stated that AMPC isn't as bad as she thought we would be.

The semi is at 6.30, Action Indoor Sports, Wednesday. We are playing at Old Trafford, which is the big stadium in the outside building. Awesome. We want and need supporters and if you don't come I know some people who know some people who slit some tires.
