kehoe's brother was playing in an adult league hockey game in nasvhille friday night so we went to check it out. i felt like we were in some movie like fargo because it was just so culturally different from what i was used to.
the smell: it smelled like a locker room but worse. it was like they were harvesting sweat slime or something.
the crowd: redneck and proud. i haven't seen anybody but trendy folks since i moved up here, and for once i saw different types of people. there was the girl with hair to her butt who was crocheting, the girls with too much make-up smacking on their gum, and the men with trucker hats (who weren't wearing them to be cool) and beer guts.
the game: apparently pads are optional in this league because the guys on the other team were playing in their white-tees, and i don't mean the big ones the rappers wear. kehoe's brother's team had 2 girls on it, including the goalie who looked to be close to 50 years old the other girl was probably the best player on the team. the game was full of bad skating, even worse passing, and a lot of bloopers. the league doesn't allow fighting, so we were pleased to see the players ignore the rules as they fought and got kicked out one player after another. the good ol' country boys in their white tees lost badly in the end, but the game wasn't about the competition for me, it was the movie-like comedy.
