Sunday Volleyball/Dodgeball: Ode to A/C

Oh A/C, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways...

Okay, no, we won't actually bore anyone by enumerating the many reasons we love A/C at the Y on a hot, sunny, humid July day in DC, but the love is there.

We played volleyball and dodgeball (and kickball--pictures, anyone?), then drank our faces off at Sign of the Whale. There's only room for one flip cup table up there, so everyone try to take turns and be patient. Remember, you don't need to play a game to get drunk.

We missed several teams this week--we hope you'll come back next Sunday! Sure, there was more room to move around, but there were so many less people to inappropriately hit on.

Five Questions:

Chris, The Bumpits
1) What do you love about NAKID? Playing volleyball and drinking after at the bar
2) Worst shot you've ever done? Tequila
3) Given the current fiscal situation and the uncertainty of the financial system, how would you fix the economy? Implement another stimulus package (Note: this sounds vaguely dirty and we're assuming was intended that way)
4) If you could have sex with your celebrity crush but first you have to watch your grandparents have sex, would you? NO.
5) Cup size: B

They do EVERYTHING together

Team Penetration (team effort)
1) What do you love about NAKID? It's very friendly
2) Worst shot you've ever done? Four horsemen
3) Given the current fiscal situation and the uncertainty of the financial system, how would you fix the economy? Legalize marijuana; cut, cap and balance; privatize the postal service; cut spending and entitlements; cut defense spending on noncontingency operations; tax the rich (they had a LOT of ideas)
4) If you could have sex with your celebrity crush but first you have to watch your grandparents have sex, would you? Yeah, absolutely, I can watch some pretty gross shit
5) Cup size: DD

LOTW:
Kevin, Sign of the Whale bartender

In the back left corner--the pitcher's for the table, sadly

Kevin started off on two hours of sleep and what we're guessing was a leftover buzz from the night before. He chugged half a bottle of wine, took several shots of his own design, drank liquor directly from the bottle, then nursed on cider for the rest of the afternoon. The entire time he was on duty he was coherent and well-spoken, and only upon being relieved did he show even a hint of how hammered he really was. He also inspired a new NAKID rule: Never challenge a man with a beard to a drinking contest. Congrats, Kevin, you are truly an inspiration!

Unfortunately, no actual NAKID members were worthy, but keep trying--never give up on your dreams!

Here are some updates for the dodgeball and volleyball folks:

Where do we play?
The YMCA at 17th and Rhode Island, NW. It's metro accessible--closest stations are Farragut North (red) and Farragut West (orange and blue).

How long are the games?
Volleyball: Best two out of three, or 45 minutes.
Dodgeball: Best of nine, no game lasts longer than 4 minutes.

I have my cooler packed with beers. Where do I set up?
NOT AT THE Y! You are absolutely not allowed to drink nor be drunk at the Y. You will be kicked out of the Y and the league if you are caught. We don't like to kick people out of the league, so just wait until after your games to booze.

Ok, the game's over and I need beer. Where do I go?
Sign of the Whale (1825 M St. NW)! They have volunteered to let us take over their bar on Sundays and Thursdays. Try not to scare the locals.

It's raining. Are we still playing?
Really? We're indoors. Next question.

The other questions apply to volleyball/dodgeball as well, so now you should be good to go!

NAKID Dodgeball/Volleyball!

The NAKID summer season kicked off this weekend with our first love, kickball; our mistress, dodgeball; and our new chick we're hoping will be cool with this arrangement, volleyball!

What, no aviators?

Contemplating a target...

After the games we headed to NAKID's brand new sponsor bar, Sign of the Whale! They graciously allowed us to invade their space on a Sunday afternoon to play flip cup and consume copious amounts of beer. It was amazing to walk into the bar and hear the cheering coming from upstairs--NAKID was definitely in the house.

The Brew has no LOTW to report, but we're hoping you brave souls who lasted through the night will send your stories to weeklybrew@gmail.com! If you do, we'll update the blog and you'll get a bandana and bragging rights!



The Brew would like to also give a shout out to best play of the day she saw: a player who shall remain nameless getting hit in the crotch with the ball during dodgeball and getting called out when he failed to catch it. Sorry, pain does not equal a pass.

I Don't Remember Saying That:

"Oh my god, you're awful!" -- Chris, The Bumpits

"They're not even aiming for our hole." -- Unknown
