Team Saucony isn’t your typical sports team. It’s a league of true Originals. It’s a place to come together and play the sort of sports that don’t require cleats, pads or helmets. It’s less about the goals you score, and more about the hang.

San Francisco: Week 4 Recap (NOT 2 MANY WORDZ EDITION)
by kip
There are some smartypants teams in our San Francisco Office League. No, not you Revolver/Midheaven SLOTH!
We’re thinking those liberal know-it-mosts over at KQED and Hyphen Magazine probably played their fare share of educational video games like Number Munchers and Oregon Trail (well, the hunting part was cool at least) and to this day, likely don’t even BOTHER with spell check.
Yeah, so… we’re going to even the playing field and do an ALL PICTURE EDITION of last week’s game of KUBB (pronounced KOOOOOOOOOOOB).
For those of you who DON’T know, KUBB is an ancient Viking game, similar to lawn bowling, only much more BRUTAL.
The goal is to knock down the other team’s pins. The winning team then gets to burn down the losing team’s village.
Here goes. If you guys INSIST on narrating events, feel free to leave some illuminating comments and/or post yer own recap.
More pics (and even less words!) below:

by kqedWe tossed and we lost, but we didn’t care — Kubb was super fun!
The Hyphen sweeties may look innocent, but their wood-tossing skills are unstoppable.
And now… two stellar Haikus from our very own Game 1 MVP, Mike:
We flung wood at wood
Elmo moons from the castle
But it’s not enough
Sharpshooter woman
She ate our kubbs for dinner
Elmo cried in beer
Once again, drunk good times were had by all!
P.S. Nick was especially excited about our NEW BAR, Cassanova, which has the classiest art collection in San Francisco.
See you at the next and LAST game of the tournament. Sad face.
Frog + Flags = Frlailure

Hyphen + KQED
by hyphen= VICTORY!
When brilliant non-profit minds combine, no flag is safe. Our combined teams made quick work of Frog Design last Wednesday, capturing their flag TWICE in 30 minutes. It was our first win, and it was sweet.
