Cartel - Earlier on the board as I was introducing myself, the northern california ladies were planning to get together for dinner. I commented that it sounded like they were organizing, and one of them cracked a joke about that, then I said I voted for field hockey... it sort of escalated from there. I pretended they were a sports team after that, then we were brainstorming what sport, and I suggested Full Contact Tackle Skeet. The question was then posed as to in what precise part of a skeet contest would tackling be allowed, and it was suggested that while shooting was a good option, as then onlookers could also be injured, thus sharing in the fun.
I forgot how dreadlocks and Rastalaskanauts came into play. I still think it's a good idea, though, because extra ammo could be stored in the dreadlocks, I think, except I don't know what kind of ammo is involved in skeet shooting, nor do I know really what a skeet is. I think it's a clay disc, but it might be an endangered species. We could award bonus points if members of PETA are chasing you with clubs while you're trying to shoot.
The gist is, the ladies from California are the Rastalaskanaut team sporting dreadlocks, and none of them have actually agreed to any of it-- we just made it up in jest. I think one or two people may have also become alarmed along the way while trying to follow the thread. :D
Hope that helps!
