Napoleon dodgeball

Introducing Napoleon, Kip, Lafawnduh, Deb, and Uncle Rico. These 5 signed up to play in a dodgeball tournament today and decided that their theme would be Napoleon Dynamite. We had a spaghetti dinner last night, with the movie playing in the background for inspiration, and discussed the various plays that would be used to crush the opponents. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time when I saw the team all come out, dressed up as their characters. When they initially came out onto the gym floor, they reinacted a few classic scenes- Napoleon pulling Kip into town on his rollerblades, Deb snapping Glamour shots pictures, Uncle Rico throwing the football (and basically acting like a fool), Lafawnduh meeting Kip at the bus station, and the whole team doing interpretive sign to music. They were a hit with the audience and are doing pretty well in the actual game too. As I type, they are still playing, so I'll have to get back to you with the final outcome. It's fun to be married to Napoleon Dynamite.
