- The only problem is that the local Moose Lodge has sent over
- the 50 man tag-drinking team right after an important match.
- They've stolen all the chalk and are eating the erasers.

- have wandered off in search of the beer, and the undergrads
- left in the room are filling out applications to join the Lodge.
