Last Thursday, TRx took on team Delta (formerly the Deltoids) in volleyball action. As some may recall, this is the team with the woman who fought Berardi before their previous game. B-rad was clearly looking for revenge, and was fired up for this game all week. In fact, he couldn’t even fall asleep the night before, so instead he found out the address of his nemesis, and kept ringing her doorbell and running (or prancing, like an Elf) behind a tree. That crafty Elf will do whatever it takes to win.
Similar to the softball game, where only one female showed, up, the same happened at the volleyball game, with Monika as the lone female representative. However, TRx did welcome back JR, taking a brief hiatus from his tour with the Spanish national team to grace us with his mighty Bear roar. Before the game, with the excitement surrounding the official SMQ launch, the team was unable to round up another female, as they were all instead going to the SMQ afterparty. Upon asking one unwilling candidate, they instead suggested Berardi dress up as a woman. A good idea in theory, this suggestion would not work well in practice, as Berardi would be continuously touching himself, after fully throwing himself into the role of female.
At the start of the game, after flapping it up, TRx jumped out to a quick lead. With every successive point, Berardi would let out a roar (even louder than Bear usually roars), and do the Ben Lin two handed point at his female nemesis on the other side with an evil look in his eyes. Some might even say this was the first woman that Berardi wasn’t undressing with his eyes, as he was instead shooting daggers through her with his eyes.
The five TRx players in won the first set, 15-10 and the Elf was in high spirits, although he refused to shake the hand of his nemesis. In fact, after she passed on the switching of sides, Berardi turned around, flipped her the bird, and kicked sand on her. Seemingly, no one on the other team witnessed this horrid act of unsportsmanlike conduct. However, later this move would come back to haunt TRx.
In the second set, TRx began to fall apart. However, Berardi, full of rage, kept jumping all over the place and playing his little Elf heart out. In fact, this may have been the fastest and highest he has ever jumped. Unfortunately, on many of these newfound quick moves, Berardi was busy jumping on front of his own teammates. As the deficit mounted in the second set, explatives began to fly. While the Elf was pretty good with the language, and used mostly yells, and sighs to express his displeasure, Blin was more vocal, letting the curses fly worse than Ana ever has.
For Blin, it wasn’t his best game. Even on serves, he resorted back to the book of text, bashing many directly into the net. It will be a long day when the Tripod can’t get it up (his serve). With each successive mistake, he’d yell out an expletive louder and louder. At one point, Berardi’s nemesis even covered her ears in response to the vulgarity flowing out of Blin’s mouth. Even the presence of concession sellers in the crowd selling “Hungry, Try Pod” t-shirts couldn’t get Blin back on his game.
Finally, the other team decided to crush the spirit of TRx, by any means necessary, and they purposely hit the ball out of bounds into a hidden cache of chemicals. As the particles of their chemical warfare surrounded each member of TRx, they began to cough and scream out that they were blind. As each person fell to the ground in agony, the other team quickly ran to their bags, and put on gas masks, and then began kicking sand into the already burning eyes of TRx. Even Greg’s bulbous head couldn’t act as an umbrella to prevent such a heinous attack, and Monika began to claw her eyes out. Needless to say, TRx fell in that set, 15-7.
Still reeling from the attack, TRx couldn’t muster much in the third set, except for even more explatives yelled out by Blin. As the final points scored for the other team, Remington repeated his usual line of “Not my fault!” and pointed at everyone else, claiming they were the cause of the demise. At this, the Elf had had enough, and quickly rescheduled the majority of the remained games to Monday and Wednesday, days he knows Remington has other plans, hoping the usual TRx team will come back triumphant. Next game is next week on Monday at 5:30.
