murderball= reminds me of that night court episode… August 28, 2005

You know, the one with the mean blind lady who everyone tries to reach out to until they find out that she was always cantankerous, and going blind had nothing to do with it. In fact, it’s uplifting, in a way, to see that these quadrapeligic men don’t change when they lose their legs; the pompous ones are still pompous, the goofy ones still goofy. They do what most people would do under the circumstances: go on living.

My favorite part was when one of the players was asked about his upcoming appearance in the Special Olympics. “It’s not the Special Olympics! I mean, what they do is great and admirable, but we’re not in this for a hug. We want the gold!”
