First, there was the getting over the inertia of starting the Road Trip. When we last saw our intrepid crew, play had just begun... Adam, mean while, was chilling w/ the Space Coyote on his way to the nearest beer store...

At The Liquor Store

'Find your soul mate Adam.'
Dude you sound like Johnny Cash.
'Find your soul mate Adam'
Is that all you've got to say. This is the dumbest vision quest I've ever had.
Wait a minute: Miller quart cans on sale for $1.00!
Thanks Space Coyote!
'Find your...'
Never mind...

Meanwhile, Back on the Ranch...

Good game everyone, let's rocham beer run.
4 pool round-robin elimination match?
Naah. Too complicated. Odd man out?
Odd man out. Only way to get it done w/ this kind of crowd... ready, on 3: reaux, cham, beaux.
The cold winds of fate blow, the dice are thrown, and CA, and JS are off to make the deal go down.
Huh. What were the odds.

Adam returns to the fields, beer in hand. The Rutgers Reunion team had just polished off the return of Johnny Bravo. Adam arrives as the second game begins, Rutgers vs. Eugene...

Dude, who are we playing?
Eugene.
Who are we?
Crow's nest?
What's that?
A restaurant.
Crow's nest?
I thought we were Rutgers?
I didn't go to Rutgers.
Dude you are messed up. Colgate isn't a school.
Yes they are, I played Lacrosse.
Now, La Crosse is a school.
This is messed up.

You getting all this, Adam?
Hard to tell, it's all getting a little hazy...
Why?
He's fasting.
Oh yeah, how long.
3 or 4 days now.
Why?
To free Walt Disney. (exeunt)

On the line...
Man, Disney ain't frozen.
Well, whatever works.
Everyone knows that was Stalin.
Duh.

Just throw it to me. I promise I'll get it.
We're on D.
Well watch this!
Can we get a plan going here?
Ask the Brain.
Listen up. Run the John Phillips Sousa for 3 to the 2 finger force...
Huh?
Zone. Oh, OK. 2-3-2?
3-2-2
2-3-2, see, it's point, point, 2 side middles and a middle middle.
Whatever.
Watch me get this 'D' Block...

After the Point
Man, that Doug McKenzie guy can jump. Don't feel bad, you'll get it back.

Scuse me? Whassatdudesname? Like Bob McKenzie?
I don't know. But that's his name.
Do you think he ever saw Strange Brew?
Strange brew?
Are you kidding me? Doug and Bob McKenzie? It's a retelling of Hamlet. See it's told through the eyes of Doug and Bob McKenzie. They stand in for Rosencrantz and Guilderstern. Pam, the heir to Elsinore brewery (like the setting of Hamlet), has a murdered father... she might also double as Ophelia, but it's possible that the drugged-out hockey player could be filling in there.

You have way too much time on your hands.

Who's next.
Team X.
Who?
Colgate reunion.
Colgate is a toothpaste.
I don't use it.
Toothpaste?
Colgate.
I use Uncle Tom's.
Dude, that shit doesn't have flouride in it.
Flouride is a communist plot. They're gonna unfreeze Stalin and take over Walt Disney.
Just go flip the disc.
