The OC is Coming With You

Hello all. Do you like how that title can be read in a couple ways? I do.

Many of you know me as Jack from Off Constantly, and many of you know me personally as J.W. I've played 5 seasons of Bayshore Division kickball and dominated the only season of Big Guava kickball. I love kickball. Some folks think it's an ironic thing: adults playing a child's game. I think it's my favorite day of the week, where I get to hang out with dozens of friends, hundreds of acquaintences and well-wishers (in that they don't wish me any specific harm), run around a little bit, have a couple (or several) beers, and get the competitive juices flowing.

In my time as a loyal WAKA customer, I've recruited, directly or indirectly, at least 20 folks to sign up, and many of them have in turn become loyal WAKA customers. If this was Amway, I'd be doing pretty well for myself. I was a part of building what is now everyone's favorite team, Off Constantly. I loved WAKA, the division, everything. Ty and Jaime, WAKA associates, are amongst my friends and have each played on Off Constantly at least one season.

And then WAKA went and dumped on my friends.

Now I'm not going to play with WAKA anymore.*

I met MLoop and I met Kegger, the two folks WAKA sent down to run the captain's meeting this last season. Why the hell Kegger was there other than to act like a dickhead, be obnoxious, and drink free beer, I don't know. I'd never met the guy and the first thing he does is insult my team. Thanks, guy, go smoke another bowl.

MLoop seemed like a decent enough guy, but his answers to our concerns left more than a little to be desired. Lightning? Apathy? Just let us play 10 games, or just tell us the real reason (insurance costs and need for more money for the national office to fund Keggers' free beer and all the levels of management and top notch customer service they have, I presume).

Now they're banning people for blog posts that are mostly jokes? Give me a break.

So, thanks Jaime and Ty for being good WAKA reps (to myself and the OC at least). Sorry you guys work for such a sorry entity. The OC is out.**

*Except maybe taking the summer team to Vegas, assuming they don't hit me with the ban hammer for this post.

**Can't say for sure whether or not the entire roster is out, but the majority and the official team are.
