The Set-UP

Juggling like Javad, not to be confused with Kick-Tennis, is a sport for all warm blooded Europeans to enjoy (which bodes poorly for us New World Blokes). The Set-Up was simple. Keep the ball in the air for as long as you can. Everytime it touches your foot, you get a point. Five Rounds, the one with the most total foot touches wins. First, Third, and Fifth Rounds played with a hackey-sack. Second and Fourth Rounds played with a kick ball.

Narritive by Champion Will

If its played with your feet, I have a distinct advantage over Jon. If it requires coordination, I have a distinct advantage over Jon. If it involves a ball or a disc or gaming object of any sort, I have a distinct advantage over Jon. In short, I have a distinct advantage over Jon.

Of course, the first round may not be such an indication. I hit the hack twice, Jon hit it thrice. I was frankly embarrassed. For me. For Jon. For the crowd of on-lookers cheering their favorite on (not visible in photo). And mostly for Lou, the Vegas bookie who rans odds 5-1 against me ever kicking the ball less than 6 times. It was a cold ugly day. Fortunately, only for Jon was it going to get colder.

their opening inhibitions. Rounds of 10 with the kick ball, 16 with the hack, 13 more with the kick ball, and finishing with 7 with the hack for a sound defeat over Jon. I emerged from my gaming trance, refreshed by the cool waters of victory. Jon's score, a respectible 23, disrespectfilly doubled by a two-score and eight more by a Champion of the People, fighting on some more. The Quest for Ultimate Summer Victory meets its half point, as Jon is toasted and falls back to 6-4.
