I Kill Me

Please forgive me. I normally wouldn't do this, but I so rarely do anything semi-worthy of the refrigerator door that I feel compelled to share this headline I wrote last night.



For Teenagers in Rockville, Dodgeball Hits the Spot


Did you groan? I won't be offended. The story gave me all kinds of flashbacks to gym class when I felt just like that guy on the right in the picture: "Please don't hit me please don't hit me please don't OW!"

I also enjoyed that this story inspired a mini-debate: "dodgeball": one word or two? Believe it or not, "dodgeball" isn't in The Post's official dictionary. But heck, "kickball" is -- and solid. So my new boss overruled Webster's -- one word, it is.

Yes, this is my job. Someone has to care about this stuff!

Your new boss kicks ass, I must say. I would not want to play dodge-ball (heh) against her.
