WEEKEND ROUNDUP: More than just mojitos went down at 1-kuai mojito night at Fubar...

After the final regular season game of summer league concluded on Sunday, a bunch of people went to Fubar for its monthly 1-kuai mojito night, except this time they weren't serving mojitos -- they were serving margaritas. And it was so cold that some people who shall remain nameless, like Andy, puked on the spot due to the drink's "coldness." Later, Baby Girl stumbled home and kept saying how fucked he was, which is true -- he puked the next day, multiple times. (But way to keep it down on Sunday night, champ.)

It's good to see summer league captains representin'.

But they aren't the story. No, the real story involved a couple of people who ACTUALLY shall remain nameless. Hint though: this is the fourth consecutive post in which Jim's been tagged. (UPDATE, 8/9: Picture here.)

POSTSCRIPT: Pnut gave Ben Redden a black eye.

Ben: "I'll head-butt you."
Pnut: "If you do I'm going to punch you."
Ben: pretends to head-butt Pnut.
Pnut: socks Ben in the eye with an overhead right.

Pictures to come, I hope. I'll track down Ben and snap a photo if I have to go all paparazzi on him.

Nice to have you back, Pnut.

As we ready ourselves for a three-day weekend, we look back, per usual, on the week that was.

(A reminder that Jeju Gnarly Nines is this weekend, which not one in Beijing will attend.)

WEEKEND ROUNDUP: Hickball!

The Ultimate Frisbee team in Candice's kickball extravaganza ended up going 0-4-1 with one-near fight and lots of shenanigans. (Not as many people got drunk and lost stuff as last year, and things weren't generally so contentious.) Our team, the Super Dupers, were "superheroes that didn't quite make the cut." I was the Pink Phantom.
