Whirlyball

So last night we headed out for a fun-filled evening of Whirlyball. This was only our second time partaking in this particular activity, but it is SO MUCH FUN! Once again I walked away with a few battle wounds and I seem to be getting more sore as the day goes on, but it was so worth it.

We started out at Ken's house (the birthday boy) and was picked up by a limo bus. The Whirlyball venue is almost an hour away and since everyone was going to be drinking, it made sense...plus limos are just fun! We played Whirlyball for about 3 hours (which FLEW by).



There's me waving my scoop in the air!


Once we were done there, we headed over to Bar Louie for some drinks and food. I had their loaded tots, SO GOOD, and we hung out for a few more hours.

Jim and Ken...Jim was feeling pretty good by this point in the evening



Then the limo picked us all back up and took us back to Ken's house. I then had to drive us home...don't worry, I was totally fine by then. Apparently Jim had a little more to drink than I thought he did, because he wasn't feeling so hot this morning. Sucks for him! We had a good night though.

Whirlyball = so much fun!

So last night Jim and I joined a bunch of other people for a thrilling night of Whirlyball. According to the website,

"Whirlyball, dubbed “the world’s only totally mechanized team sport”, is best described as a combination of Basketball, Hockey and Jai-Alai played while riding an electrically powered machine, similar to a bumper car, called a WhirlyBug. Although the WhirlyBug resembles a bumper car, it is a far superior machine. Quicker, stronger and far more maneuverable, the WhirlyBug powers you and your team down court in a five on five game".

It was so much fun! I even scored a goal which is SO not easy! I do have a few battle wounds from the seat belt digging into me during one of the multiple head-on collisions, and the steering rod being jammed into my leg from another collision, but I would totally do it again.

Here's a few pics - not the best, but you get the idea.

One of my faves as you can see the #27 car occupant get thrown forward during a collision.
