Downright Donkeys 2008/2009 Team Thread

[Therbs]

Here's what I posted as our list. Probably wrong but who really gives a stuff?
We might need an extra player or two.

Was kinda trying to retire without making a big deal of it like some certain other people who make a thread to say they considered changing teams but didn't.

So you'll need to find another bowler, or keep me on reluctantly.

 

[KBC]

Erm... The yacht would lose balance if you go.

 

[Therbs]

Welcome Safrican and Jakester1288 to the Donkeys!
KBC - if I'm not around do the next couple of draft picks. We need another batsman or two.

 

[KBC]

Aye, aye therbsten.

 

[KBC]

I ain't the one who's here, right? Or is it just me?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Right my minions. Where were we?

Great start to the season. I'm here to guide us to loss and disgrace, so don't fear.

I've signed on MightyPies as well. Great name.

Oh, and lets get this clear. I'm the captain. Tassie's the VC, WHM is our (reluctant) navigator, and KBC is the new deckhand for being so eager. Therbs gets to man the gate. Make sure all visitors pay the cover, or make them walk the plank.

 

[Cricketman]

Do i still get the free drinks?

 

[Therbs]

No free drinks for you. Keep an eye out for Panda if he's still lurking. He might give you some fermented bamboo juice.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Do i still get the free drinks?

Poisoned drinks. And contaminated bar nuts to go with them.

 

[MattW]

WHM is our (reluctant) navigator

Oh joy! I demand to be put at number 4 in the batting order then!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Done. I'm batting at 3 though, so don't expect to get a lot of time in the middle.

ZoraxDoom added 5 Minutes and 4 Seconds later...

Here is my suggested lineup:

KBC
Pal
Zorax
WHM
Mighty Pies
Panda
Therbs
Jakester
?????
Foxy
Tassie


Hopefully the ???? can be filled by someone decent at mixing drinks. We need a new bartender after our old one died when he had Cricketman's free drink.
As usual, this goes with the traditional Poor pitch.

 

[MattW]

Done. I'm batting at 3 though, so don't expect to get a lot of time in the middle.

Damn. I was hoping you wouldn't so I could make a fuss out of it and storm out. Too bad you couldn't use those sort of high level tactics in the PCPL.

I think you could tempt Mod Police to take that number nine spot, I've heard he's quite a handy spinner. His activity levels should suit the Donkeys too.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Mod Police should fit right in. Always nice to have some influence with the law. It's just a shame he isn't in the Draft, we would have signed him on in the heartbeat...

I guess that spot will be filled by SAfrican or whoever else we sign.

 

[MattW]

Always nice to have some influence with the law.

I've heard some weird stories about some of the Admins and handcuffs in the staff forum, I don't think that's what you meant though...
