Man Out?
It seems like about once every
couple of months the minions gather and grumble
about throwing out this player or that from our game.
First it was Hank, then Dano, then Hank again, now it appears
that Lymie is ‘Bitch O’The Week.’
Having missed 4 of the last 6 games with a few dubious excuses
and having threatened to walk out now on two occasions, Lymie, an aloof
host at best, is on thin ice.
Last night’s game, (played with the alternate Doc
G in his place,) felt the chill of steely words and exclusionary
invective cast at our southern brother.
A small chorus of “Doc G in—Lymie out!” curled a humble
grin on the doctor’s face. It
was in jest, and for our guest players benefit surely, but the seditious
sentiment fostered troubled looks from a few who feared for the sanctity
of our game.
Over the phone Lymie expressed his dismay at the
players’ response to his actions.
“Ah ahpologized and set back down. Hank was the one who refused
to play,” he drawled. Hank
had walked away from the game to watch game 3 of the World Series and
was not seen again that night. “Ah
don’t like playing with six. Ah wanted to call it a night. Y’all got
all uppity and I set right back down.”
Then the beleaguered southerner switched to damage control mode.
“Well y’all can tell everyone that Ah’m hosting next week
and I’ll plan sumthin’ special.”
Koneo, once the lead Anti-Lymie proponent, later
recanted slightly from his earlier position:
“At least he sat back down after everybody got on his case…
Fucking Hank never played a hand,” intimating that there may be a
newly crowned B.O.W. shortly.
Looks like a successful hosting night from Lymie next
week could put his reputation on the mend. We should all thank our lucky stars that no matter how bad we
screw up in this game we can all count on Hank to bail us out.
