What's a good name for a dodge ball team?

as a member of the current 2nd place team in our league, I'm afraid I can't give you most of the names due to inappropriateness for a high school-ish team.

But here are some nice ones:

Don't Stop Ballieving
Incrediballs
The Dodgefathers
Not in the Face



just realized playoffs start next week. The 1st place team (and our only loss) are in the other bracket. Apparently they beat our team in the championship last year. Hmmmm.

Well good luck. It's really hard not to make a inappropriate team name...

I kinda like this version of that one, just heard it a few days ago:



you might like these ladies then.

maybe not this particular song, but a lot of theirs have that close harmony going on. You Raise Me Up and Somewhere Over the Rainbow are my favorites.

I actually watched part of that video because it came up as one of the 'you might also like' videos, but not the whole thing. Might have to come back to some of them tomorrow on home alone Thursday tomorrow.

Speaking of Christmas music...I surprised my wife by admitting that I really can't read music. I mean, I know the concepts, but if you put a piece of sheet music in front of me, I'd have no idea how to sing it. I did a few months of band in like 6th grade or something, but that's it...and even that, I just knew that X note meant press Y valves on the trumpet. She was shocked and said "but you sing along in church!" And I said, yes...some songs...the ones I know by heart from church and 8 years of catholic school. She then said that she wondered why certain songs I'd just randomly not sing along with.

Yeah, talking about bannings is probably not something we want to start in this thread right now.

I wasn't going to say he didn't deserve it, just missed what happened.

do you know the song Do-Re-Mi from Sound of Music? You could probably learn from that. If nothing else, look at the music from a song you know. Read the top line and as the notes go up, the tone goes up. That can at least give you the direction the music is going on songs you don't know well :)
 
So the wife put out this elf on the shelf thing. She got it on clearance after last christmas and put it away with the decorations. I think she probably told me the deal with it, but I probably wasn't listening, plus, that's a year ago. Girls....what I needa know?

Oh, I'm comfortable with my lack of ability to read sheet music...I get by in church, and I ain't doing any concerts any time soon. And, yes, I know that song, and I know the general concepts, I'm just saying that if you put a note on a staff, I'd be able to tell you it's low, middle, or high, but I wouldn't be able to sing the specific one...or if you gave me one note and asked me to sing the next one up, I wouldn't necessarily know how much up to go to hit the next one.

Basically the concept is this creepy elf quietly sits on the shelf during the day, watching your kids. He then reports back to Santa at night whether or not the kids behaved. The elf is supposed to move spots each night. Just a new threat to try and encourage good behavior.

Where parents went wrong is someone got the idea that maybe this elf gets into mischief when he comes back after reporting to Santa. So every night parents try to come up with ideas like have the elf zip-line from the kitchen cabinets to the sink or take a bath in the bathroom sink with marshmallows, or make snow angels in flour on the counter. Fun memories for the kiddos you know.

To be honest, I didn't need the added stress of one more thing to do during the holiday season so I never got one. Then a couple years ago our oldest decided our house needed an elf, so she drew one on paper and moved it around (she was about 9 and knew the whole Santa gig). Last year a stuffed animal became the elf, and is back this year. She is 100% in charge of it, but so far has needed some help. Which I am again not wanting to deal with.

anyway, some people love the elf. I hate him. ;) There are whole websites/blogs/Pinterest boards dedicated to ideas for the elf. Good luck, have as much fun as you want to with it. :)
