8/14 3:00 a.m. update coming. Sorry. Here's a Snape video to keep you entertained!

Boromir rushes in.

August 8, 2004

ISENGARD, Middle Earth—It's not even the finals, but the Dom-Land Caribou have already lost one title – hardest partying team in the league. Apparently, the Fighting Uruk-Hai spent most of the week "fraternizing" with their new-found groupies, which resulted in half the team missing the game. The Caribou won 4-0. The Uruk-Hai didn't seem to mind, and left halfway through the post-game press conference.

"Ew," said Legolas covering his ears again. "I don't want to know. I can't hear you, lalalalalalalalalalalalalala."

Merry made a face.

Then Pippin made a face.

Merry made another face.

Pippin made another face.

This continued for the remainder of the press conference.

With only half the Uruks to condtend with, and a rather distracted, bemused half at that, the Caribou went to work in the first period. Legolas scored a neat goal off a Gimli feed. The normally explosively-tempered Uruk-Hai didn't respond as explosively as usual.

"They seemed really...calm," said Boromir. "Usually at least one of them tries to dismember someone or something."

"Have you finished talking about the groupies?" said Legolas. "Bad mental image. Bad. Bad."

Boromir and Aragorn also scored in the first. Sam scored in the second period to represent the shorter members of the team.

It wasn't until the third period did the Uruks' natural aggression surfaced, although not very aggressively. They made a few attempts to throw a hobbit or two at the Caribou bench, but the halflings just bounced off the boards without much damage.

"Didn't even leave a dent," said Sam. "Us hobbits have a toughness, that we do."

Merry and Pippin continued to make faces.

It was an unusually quiet night for Gandalf who made 13 saves in the shutout. The Grey Pilgrim continued his easy night by skipping the press conference and taking a soak in the hot tub.

The Uruk-Hai and their entourage could be heard from their locker room, even over "Welcome to the Jungle" which blasted over the stereo system.

"I'm sure Saruman will have something to say about that," said Aragorn.

"Unless he's got groupies too," said Merry.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaah!" said Legolas.

With this win, the Caribou are one game away from their second appearence in the finals where they would face the Eldar. The all-elf expansion team swept the Ithilien Rangers to earn their first trip to the championship round.

"Yay," said Haldir, in a rather bored tone.

**Sorry this update was late. I've decided to put the silly filler links on before the late update. But if you missed them, Another Squirrel Poem and Bubble Wrap.

Playoff Primer

1) Each round is a seven-game series. Basically, two teams play each other until one team wins four games. That team wins the series.

2) There are no ties. If a match is tied at the end of three periods, the teams will play 20-minute overtimes until one of them wins or they both drop dead. In the case of dropping dead, all members of both teams have to be completely dead. The game will then be temporarily postponed.

3) The teams who have qualified for this year's playoffs are:
The Dom-Land Caribou
The Fighting Uruk-Hai
The Ithilien Rangers
The Eldar
Whoever wins the Caribou/Uruk-Hai series will go on to play the winner of the Rangers/Eldar series for The Precious.

4) Although there are traditions of throwing things onto the ice in the NHL during the playoffs, (i.e. the octopus in Detroit) the MEHA has strictly forbidden the throwing of cephalopods. This measure was taken to prevent the injury and/or death of anyone trying to capture The Watcher in the Water.

NOTES: For some reason, it's been rather difficult for Bubbles to update on Fridays, so from now on, DL updates will take place on Saturdays, Bubbles' Standard Time, which is Sunday for most of the rest of the world. Sorry about that.
