Black Lagoon Adventures #26: The Big Game from the Black Lagoon (Black Lagoon Adventures series) Read online

  Mutt for our celebration dinner.

  We order the giant combo pizza

  with everything on it . . . except

  anchovies. While we’re waiting

  for it, we all tell our favorite stories

  about the game and we make up

  special awards for everyone on

  the team.

  Freddy gets the widest end

  award.

  Eric gets the funniest joke

  award—which was: “How’d Hubie

  make a touchdown? Because his

  nose was running.”

  Penny gets the most polite

  player award and Doris gets the

  cleanest T-shirt award.

  When the pizza comes, we

  all give our team cheer, which I

  make up between bites:

  Cool cats,

  You’re the best forever more

  Don’t even worry about the score

  As long as we arrived and tried

  Our faces we don’t have to hide

  So give yourselves a mighty

  cheer

  And look forward to more

  games next year.
