i cant do it this sunday, taking mom out for mothers day, but most sundays i'd be down.

Sunday would actually be the best day for me by far. i should have added a poll to this thread on what day is best for people.

nice, i work in quincy, live in roslindale.

I'm down for traveling anywhere aroudn the area, i say lets see who else jumps on board and then mabey try pinning down courts for a few weeks from now.

If this works out, might be a thing we can do semi weekly or something.

This might turn into one of the best idea's ive had at 6 in the morning before work lol.  ;D

Nice, where do you work?

It's pretty funny that "HORSE" is the name that stuck, when the game could have been called any five letter word in the dictionary.  I guess it's more fun counting off the letters instead of just playing to 5.

A nice short game of "PIG" was ok too, but HORSE is the real deal.

On particularly slow days as a kid (which were abundant), we'd play "ENCYCLOPEDIA" or some other ridiculously long word.  Clever boy, I was.
Yup

I actually did wear #11 on my first team (in honor of Charlie Scott), but I was more of a young "Round Mound of Rebound" than that kid!

i tried to organize a game a year or two ago with bloggers.  i was all into it for a solid week or two trying to get players, a time, and location.  i had very few bloggers who were serious about committing to a game.  it sucked and disappointed me, since i put in a lot of effort not only creating a thread, but pm'ing people and attempting to put it all together.  wasnt worth the aggrivation. 

if your able to put a game together, i am interested, again depending on date and location.  pm me if this gets off the ground.
