Buffalo So Needs This!

According to this article in the New York Times, kickball leagues have been sprouting up all over America:

I don't know if kickball is a big deal in grade schools in Buffalo, but I remember it as being great fun, requiring very little athletic ability, and maybe vaguely dangerous -- if a red rubber playground ball could possibly be dangerous. You do get to throw it at people -- sort of a combination of softball and dodgeball. You know you love it.

Anyway, it's a funny idea. I think we need to start a kickball league in Buffalo next spring. Let me know if you're into it!

Nationwide adult kickball association:

A kickball [league] grows in Brooklyn:

Oh..well I guess some of us are, but not really hip...no NO we're not, not at all. You should come out once. We're more hippies than anything else...not even. Well, ok you can't now but you should when it gets better out. Yeah! Dangit!

Of course, I'd been scooped (e:hodown), as always. Hodown, I bow down to you, you rule.

I also went through (e:hodown)'s backlog and while I didn't find the kickball reference, I am reminded how much I've missed reading my favorite blogs on e-strip during the past month. OK, that's it, I'm back, bitches. And if you haven't been reading (e:hodown)'s blog, shame on you. Who else would dedicate an entire post to skorts? Fucking A.

And a shout-out to (e:enknot) for the Buffalo Kickball action, boy am I sorry I missed that post (e:enknot,37) when it first went up on 8/13.

hodown writes at 12:57:18 09/15/06 - Comment #11425: I wrote a post about this a while ago. It's all the rage with the hipsters in Brooklyn. Really it's their excuse to dress up 70s gym style and drink.
