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:

We 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.

= 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.

The men of KQED and Hyphen

Last night’s game was all about UNITY and hand-holding! The Revolver dudes flaked, and KQED was down by 6 team members, so we joined forces with the Hyphy Hyphenators in a seriously dangerous game of Capture the Flag.

HYPHQED vs. FROGGERS!

GOOD TIMES!

Co-Capt Christine “Big Boss” Vilar sports our newly designed T-shirts. Which she actually designed and inked with just two no.2 pencils. INCREDIBLE!

Trying to shake the loss from our previous whiffle ball game, we tried a new pre-game routine, by drinking some Sparks.

KQED brought Elmo as their mascot, so we brought Rocket, look how vicious she looks!

As you can see there are not many pictures of us playing the game, but mostly drinking.

We conceded victory to the superior bats of KQED. They played a hard fought and clean game, mucho respect from us.

We may have the lost the battle, but we won the bar wars. Elmo* jumps ship and parties with the Hyphen crew.

*disclaimer hyphen magazine does not encourage underage monster drinking.

Elmo lost his eye in a knife fight at the bar, so we more than gladly provided an eyepatch.
