“The second game of the new Slurperssz around the old Washssz and gossz was played in front of a rather small audience that still payed the overprized tickets the Human team asked for. But then that Human team was one strange thing - they had strange plastic devices with a glass that displayed green signs as heads. "Szey szmell funny. An' bee' all sze 'ime. Sz'a'y.", Fresh soy commented on the first sight of these extraordinary beings.

The Slurperssz received and started to do what they always do, hugging, tickling and strocking any player within reach, while moving down the pitch a bit. Meanwhile the skinks started a little fight over the ball in the backfield. Ssszoap Bubblesssz picked up the ball and moved into the crowd of skinks. "Szief, Szief, Ssszalon Sszelectivessz 'iesz 'o sz'eal sze ball" he screamed, and tossed the ball in the opposite direction. The dumbheaded plastic human moved around a bit.

The fight over the ball between the skinks continued in the second turn as well - Organicssz picked it up only to have Ssszalon Sszelectivessz snatch it, who in turn lost it to Ssszoap Bubblesssz: "Mine i'zs mine now. I will szo'e!" with that Ssszoap Bubblesssz ran forward towards the enemy Endzone.

Free BSD put an end to that dream though, smashing the skink down: "Beep, Brzt", he explained, and displayed a hughe "!" on his face. Head and shouldersszs saved the day though by catching the now lose ball, while smilling innocently at the two Humans that stood next to him. Those weren't all that happy about a Saurus catching a ball though. The Saurus continued to tickle the human players, two of which had to leave the pitch for the bathroom due to that. Seeing that Head and shouldersszs was stuck though, Organicssz took the initiative - and the ball - and passed it over to Ssszalon Sszelectivessz who walked the ball in for the 3rd touchdown of his yet young career.

The sun was warming up scales and brains, and due to that the Saurus showed a unusual amount of readiness, that surprised the plastic head Humans, who stared in wonder at the saurus running in after the ball one of the skinks just had kicked. Washssz and gossz gave FreeBSD a bearhug, who collapsed, needing to be rebooted for the next match. MacOS followed NetBSD and OpenBSD to the toilet - leaving the human team with only 5 players on the pitch.

But then the humans recovered and PC-DOS escaped the tickle frenzied saurus running towards the Slurperssz endzone. Ausssszie pushed him towards the border of the pitch, positioning himself next to him. PC-DOS seemed to have swallowed some elven pills though, showing a surprising amount of agility in escaping that bad position and scoring a touchdown - 1-1. MacOS returned from the bathroom, only to notice he forgot his keys there, leaving again, at once. Fresh Sszoy caught the ball the humans had kicked and ran forward, alongside with some sauri, to what looked like an easy touchdown, until MS-DOS managed to trip over Ssszalon Sszelectivessz while the skink tried to dodge - Ssszalon Sszelectivessz looked at the human catcher, and, still pouting over losing the ball fight earlier left the pitch.

MS-DOS, being his true evil self, managed to blitz and knockover Fresh Sszoy as well, leaving the skink stunned on the pitch. IRIX dodged and picked up the ball, happilly presenting a green ":)" on his face. Massztey tripped over in the skinks attempt to reclaim the ball and the half ended 1-1.

The humans had 7 players for the second half, receiving. The Sauri being distracted by a particularly interesting spot of grass, didn't notice that the humans stepped forwards a bit, each, until it was too late. Tipping over two of the Sauri the Humans presented their attempt at a five player cage. that was quickly surrounded and broken down by the Sauri. PC-DOS presenting his superior agility once more managed to escape the grip again though ... only to be surrounded and pushed towards, and on the next turn into, the crowd. Fresh Sszoy ran after the ball that had been thrown back in, picking it up with some slight problems, and was beginning to move forward in a pulk of sauri and skinks while the rest of the team guarded the remaining human players. The Human Ogre, Linux, proved to be a real annoyance to the Sauri though, trying to chase them (falling over once in the process). Scharzkopf Osiss made an end to that by executing a well aimed shot on Linux's hard drive, killing the OS propper - the human main technician had to replace the hard drive with a backup right on the pitch!

Massztey, Ssszoap Bubblesssz and Fresh Sszoy (who was carrying the ball) moved to the Human endzone where a heated discussion began between the three skinks, lasting one turn, regarding who should score the touchdown. Fresh Sszoy finally was awarded the honour.

The Fans rioted at the end of the match making the almost impossible task of scoring a tie, entirely impossible for the humans. "We won, sze sze'on' 'ame an' we won al'ea'y! I'm szo ha'y I' li'e' 'o hu' sze wo'l'!", Wasshsz and gossz told the reporters after the match with tears in the eyes.
