You’re late.
You’re not even trying now are you?
Never mind.
Just keep up.
You’d say, “There are no sports in Wonderland.” You would, and you’d be wrong. Team W is teaming with teams. It’s really one of the most sportingist of sports places you’d ever hope to find down any given rabbit hole.
Okay, fine. Other than a crazy bunch of animals running in a circle to dry off, or that weepy Mock Turtle and his Lobster Quadrille, there ain’t much going on in the way of sports.
But, that’s not entirely true.
We’re big on cards down here, and I’m pretty sure POKER is now an Olympic Sport. And nobody, and I mean nobody, beats Team W when it comes to CROQUET.
No, not those little pieces of dry bread they put on top of your salad. Croquet! That crazy love child of golf, bocce and cans of brightly colored paint. The game that has everyone trampling on your freshly mowed lawn and breaking your garden gnomes while saying, “Oh, I didn’t mean to hit it that hard.”
They totally knew what they were doing.
DON’T SCREW WITH
THE GARDEN GNOMES!
I need a moment.
Listen to FIGHTING FOR THE HEDGEHOGS.
The red mallet is mine!

Fighting For The Hedgehogs
Music + Lyrics by Kevin Saunders Hayes
Filling up the space in between
Got the speakers in the truck playing “Peaches and Cream”
Got a ten percent off she’s trying to redeem
She gotta part-time job and a cigarette
You know what I mean
Hey now your look is irresistible
But the rule you’re trying to break
Yeah it’s really not permissible
Filling up the space in between
She gotta part-time job and a cigarette
You know what I mean
Hey now your look is irresistible
But the rule you’re trying to break
Yeah it’s really not admissible
Hey, maybe you could think it seems okay
To stay
No way
Maybe someday
Hey, maybe you could think of just one way
Okay
Just maybe
Maybe someday
Hey, hey, hey, hey
We’ll take it slower
Hey, hey, hey, hey
That’s right
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just think it over
Hey, hey, hey, hey
All right
Filling up the space in between
Got the speakers in the truck playing “Peaches and Cream”
Got a ten percent off she’s trying to redeem
She gotta part-time job and a cigarette
Hey, maybe you could think it seems okay
To stay
No way
Maybe someday
Hey, maybe you could think of just one way
Okay
Just maybe
Maybe someday
Hey, hey, hey, hey
We’ll take it slower
Hey, hey, hey, hey
That’s right
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just think it over
Hey, hey, hey, hey
All right
Hey
THE HISTORY OF CROQUET
Croquet was first played with hoops made of willow rods and mallets made of broomsticks in Ireland around 1850, and believed to originate from a French game called Pall Mall. And if you’re really having trouble sleeping check out this website.
And… there are nine (count ‘em 9) variants recognized by the World Croquet Federation (there’s a Federation!?). And believe it or not there are actually rules.
BREAKING GARDEN GNOMES IS NOT ONE OF THEM !
OKAY, THAT’S IT FOR TODAY. MEET BACK HERE TOMORROW. At the same time. DON’T BE LATE. WE GOTTA SCHEDULE.
