They also said BC finished his part weeks ago but now I think it was just a casual mention and they actually didn't know. Well, of course he’s finished, b/c he’s in training now for dodgeball. He’s going to hit FLOTUS in the face. 😬😳
No, no, no!
He won't actually be throwing any dodgeballs.
He and Allison Janney are going to have a cheekbone-off AKA "The Throw-Down of the Zygoma Bones" and that will settle the whole thing.
Also, if they actually DO play dodgeball? The UK is totally going to lose: Kate Hudson? Melissa McCarthy? Lena Waithe? Mila Kunis? Allison Janney? Michelle! Obama?
Sorry UK guys, if you had been somehow been able to recruit Olivia Coleman or Jodie Whittaker you *might* have stood a chance in head to head volleyball competition. But if you were to step aside and let BC's cheekbones stand-in for battle with AJ's cheekbones, you could have won this thing. Then again, Allison might have deployed her "Mom" themesong, aka the "Cabin Pressure" themesong and somehow morphed Benedict into his Cabin Pressure alter-ego Martin Crieff who, as you might guess, could NEVER have beaten ANYONE at dodgeball at least not without Douglas's assistance, so therefore he would have been rendered hopeless.

Lol Hannah Lee! You make some very good points, and I agree the US ladies have the edge, but the UK team is down a player. Suppose they bring in David Beckham? That could be a problem, no matter how sharp anyone’s cheekbones are, especially if all he wears are his Calvin Kleins. Distracting! 😬

What is Dodgball? Do you literally have to dodge the ball - ie it’s just two teams throwing balls at each other and the losers are those who get hit the most? Sounds like a violent version of volleyball. 😄 P.S. Please let Melissa McCarthy play in character as Sean Spicer. He’d play dirty.

Yes, there’s a line down the middle of the court and you can’t cross into the other territory. Everyone has a ball, and you chuck it as hard as you can at an opponent. If you hit them, they go stand on the sidelines. If they catch it, you’re out and one of their members comes in off the sidelines. Continue until there’s only one person left and everyone is covered with bruises and crying. In primary school, we had to use those horrible hard balls which really sting when they hit you. It’s an awful game.
If you like Ben Stiller, check out his movie “Dodgeball.” It’s really quite funny. Vince Vaughn runs a gym for average Joes, and gets into a dodgeball tournament to win prize money so that Ben Stiller, who runs a posh, snobby gym, wont buy him out. Justin Long, Rip Torn, and a *very* short Ben Stiller are all stellar. It really gets at the humiliation that is dodgeball.

Ha! Yes, I remember it well! I think we used rubber balls that the teacher called “utility” balls, but they were still painful. We loved playing dodgeball, though, because it just involved a lot of running around, screaming and laughing. As I mentioned before, it was eventually banned from our gym classes for being unsafe - along with floor hockey and shot put.

Sounds like a mad game. But who am I to talk. We have a game called Hurling in Ireland which is kind of like a lawless version of hockey where the players frequently beat the bejasus out of each other with their Hurleys (kind of like hockey sticks) to get possession of the ball. There’s an equally frightening female version called Camogie. Fortunately I have terrible hand eye coordination so never got into playing it.

Hurling is insane! It’s like baseball, but everyone’s got a bat and standing within five feet of each other, just swinging away. 😳

I taught my classes (Grades 1 and 2) dodgeball when I was a teacher. It was loads of fun for the children. Strict rule: No hitting above the waist made sure there were no injuries. Also we played by the rule that if you got "hit" you joined the opposite team. That meant no one was ever sidelined. Of course this will be very different I suppose. BTW, how come the UK team has only 5 players and the USA team has 6?
