What a kick

Now it's Newsweek with a report on the growing popularity of adult kickball leagues, with the lead on the game as played, with liberal margaritas, in Allsopp Park, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA.

Comments

This would never be allowed North of the river...Margaritas in a public park?!! No wonder LR is becoming the murder capital of the mid-south. Can't have peacable people congregating to have some good clean fun & exercise if alcohol is involved.

Liberal margaritas?

Are they ordered from moveon.org? Do they make you want to cut and run or abort the game early?

Just how liberal are these drinks?

Very good question. These margaritas are so liberal that they do not discriminate against other drinks regardless of race, ethnicity, alcohol content, sexual orientation or age. They are also definitely in favor of opening up the borders and letting in the entire Mexican population into the United States. After all, margaritas came into this country illegally, in the first place.

"Margaritas in a public park?!! No wonder LR is becoming the murder capital of the mid-south."

Huh? I doubt seriously anyone ever begged for money on the street corner to buy a margarita. I doubt anyone ever shot another because they owed money for margaritas. I doubt anyone ever sold her body for just one more margarita.

MysteryShopper, your logic is a mystery... The drug you accuse of causing murder is not alcohol, but crack, meth and other street drugs.

WAKA (World Adult Kickball Association) has been running leagues on the National Mall in DC for years and years. They are quite fun.

And since I don't know of any kickball leagues in a certain part of the state ... LR 1, NWA 0.

Uh, I'm pretty sure that MysteryShopper was being sarcastic. Evidently it's becoming a lost (or at least unappreciated) art.

Games start this Sunday. Roll on out!!!!!!!!!!

Liberal Margaritas also come with the highest taxes. But only on those that work hard...not the lazy, slacker demolib margaritas...they are tax free....LOL Trish Monroe

Also, the liberal margaritas support death taxes since they believe that if there are any margaritas left at the end of the evening, then there should be a tax to allow for equal distribuition of the left overs to all, whether earned or not. It would only be fair.

Just so there is no confusion, Newsweek acutally got it wrong. The Little Rock Kickball Association is an independent kickball league and is in no way, shape or form affiliated with the WAKA.

This season (which is set to begin this sunday, 8-20-2006) has 78 teams in 3 leagues (competitive, intermediate, and laid back). The games are played at Interstate Park, Hindman, and Benny Craig. Come check out the fun!
