Convergence: Rescue Juicy J

Date: 2026-09-17 AO: The Knoll Q: Shakira , Juicy J PAX: Bulldog, Cherry Maguire, porcelain, DintyMoore, Shakira, sooner, Juicy J, Subway FNGs: None COUNT: 8 CONDITIONS: A bit dark for hurling a piece of plastic at each other’s faces.
WARMUP: Arm circles, karoake, jaw warmups while trashtalking atlantis
THE THANG: A WORLD RECORD SETTING GAME — most drops in 30 minutes of play. After an opening flurry of points, the game remained deadlocked at 2-2. Team Knoll suffered a brutal, yet potentially predictable blow when Juicy J ripped his hamstring halfway through the match leaving a depleted defense. At this point, the abandoned Knollians in attendance were ready to change Juicy’s F3 name to “Benedict Arnold.”
Determined to fight on, Bulldog and I (with some friendly help from DintyMoore) began to rush the frisbee up the field. With time running out, we hurled a deep desperation pass that looked to be falling to the ground when out of nowhere we saw —a bird—a plane—no! it was a one-legged Juicy rising into the sky like a majestic crane. If only The Banker had been there to record the moment in his birdwatching app.
Jumping on just one leg, he managed to gracefully snare the frisbee and keep our hopes alive! Inspired by our friend turned enemy turned friend, we rallied and scored two goals in quick succession to give the Knoll a 4-2 victory! Here’s to you Juicy and Bulldog:saluting_face:
Big thanks to the guys from Atlantis for hosting us!
