When I’m not juggling metadata or watching the same shitty movies Derek & Eli both adore (Empire Records? Summer School? [Remind me to tell you about me and Dean Cameron one of these days.]) or having an impromptu dance party at East Village Tavern or kicking your ass on the hockey court or drinking gin while wearing freakishly awesome shoes (I do also wear some nifty dresses), I’m sharing a namesake talent.
No, I did not marry the second president of the United States and give birth to a true American family (even if I gave birth to them while living in Hawaii but brought them up in Africa… still born in America!). Nor did I stir up trouble with the Puritans (least complex, my ass). No, no… I’m talking about Abigail Van Buren (Shut yer mouth! I’m just talkin’ ’bout Abby. Awwwwwww yeah). So in the spirit of giving, I am extending my talent and assistance to some lucky BTSHers.

It occurred to me that many of the story lines in club soccer are similar to those happening in BTSH. With that, I’ll now try to give each team in our league its club soccer counterpart:
Mathematics: Valencia – A solid core surrounds one incredible talent. When playing against Valencia, you know that David Villa is going to get the ball, and he’s probably going to do some amazing things whether you like it or not. The same can be said for Mathematics, with Andy Pratt playing the hero role.
Happy Little Elves: Wigan Athletic – After arriving in the league for the first time seemingly out of nowhere, both these upstarts are carving their place in the league and look to improve on their performance from last year. It’s unlikely that either will make a title run, but achieving a .500 record would give a lot of hope for the future.
Cobra Kai: West Ham United – Despite toiling away in the lower half of the table much of the time, they were able to sign an incredible goal scoring talent in Adriano Bratta, similar to how West Ham got Carlos Tevez…only to lose him at year’s end.
What The Puck: Manchester United – Despite having an all-star lineup that’s capable of dismantling any team out there, they saw fit to poach some of the top free agents in the league. This, of course, makes them an even better team, but also raises the ire of all whom they play against.

$howT!m3 Almost Switches Teams Mid-Game
Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez was seen considering switching teams midway through the Rehabs’ loss to Filthy Gorgeous last Sunday.
In a press conference immediately following the game $howT!m3 adamantly denied the accusations.
“That is utter nonsense. I’m a Rehab and will stay a Rehab for life. Yes, I tried on a Filthy Gorgeous jersey during the first half, but that was only to see if it fit.”
Teammate “Con” Ed Lau was not surprised. “It’s his thing,” Lau stated. “The guy entered the league when? When it began, right? He’s played for every team since then, and some teams that don’t even exist. At some point last week I’m pretty sure he ran over to Corlears and played five minutes for the Happy Little Elves during our game.”
Rehabs captain Bryan “Stork” Welch was incensed over the accusations. He was seen glaring at reporters muttering, “You never leave the Rehabs. You’re a Rehab forever.”
After Bryan’s comment, $howT!m3 tried on a Denim Demons shirt.
