theJEDMAN NATION-A New Wave ManifestoDocumenting the JED Experience Monday, October 28, 2002Circa 1994 when I was a bigger idiot than I am now, Bon Chappell and I were playing DEATH BALL in my palatial Lawrence penthouse apartment. DEATH BALL was a sport that never caught on nationwide. It involves a hoop and a ball and is played indoors. There are no rules except that you cannot leave your knees and if you rebound off iron you have to take the ball back. Bon Chappell and I were engaged in the bloodiest DEATH BALL game ever. It was rough, violent, and no holds barred. In sudden death, we heard a knock on the door and the words, "LAWRENCE PD," We got quiet for awhile hoping they would go away, but they opened my unlocked door instead. We were DEATH BALLING in the bedroom, so I came out when they walked in. I told them that we were horsing around and they asked if anyone else was here. Bon Chappell walked out of the bedroom and explained to the officers that we were playing DEATH BALL. It looked like Bon Chappell and I were having a spat, but we were sportsmen not lovers. Somehow, the Lawrence PD believed us and left. Man, did we look like dopes. theJEDMAN .: posted by Jed 7:14 PM |
