If you haven't see our old ninja Lucas Neff in a while (aka Captain America), it's probably because he's busy acting! Check him out on Fox's new show this fall, Raising Hope. The series premieres Tuesday, September 21st at 8pm.

Interested in playing dodgeball on a court without dealing with the cold these days? As Aberdeen's season draw's to a close, there are still quite a few of us still desiring to play dodgeball over the winter. There is an indoor court southwest of the city that hosts dodgeball every Friday night from 8 pm - 10:30 pm. This is the Western Springs Rec Center, located at 1500 Walker Street, Western

Holy cow. What a long and treacherous season for the Worst. Team. Ever. The Aberdeeners that played this season can tell you that it went on much longer than it needed to since half the season was delayed by rain. Even the championship was delayed due to the mist. So the team played the championship on Saturday morning against long time rivals, Joe Perillo's Lethal Mushache Coalition. It was over

To all ninjas:Dodgeball is cancelled for tonight due to various reasons. Some of us are out of town, most of us are fighting an epic battle in another league and well, we have been deprived of our equipment. We will return on Tuesday with brand new dodgeballs (maybe even a new party ball!) and the whole crew. But if you can make it, join some of the Aberdeeners at North Ave. Beach to watch the

If you were hoping to play dodgeball tonight, we apologize. It was reported to us that someone posed as a beloved Aberdeener and picked up the dodgeballs that we were storing at Mario's. This person then proceeded to disappear into the night with them.Stealing is not cool. Should we find out who stole our dodgeballs, we will be force them to play the rest of their Aberdeen days with a sandwich

We bid farewell to 2 of our neighborhood kids, Kevin and Lucas. They start their freshmen year at Eastern Illinois University next week. They both have stated that they don't know what they will major in, but that's what freshmen year is for, right? Figuring that out? But there is one thing that they both mentioned was for sure. Baseball. We got them a cake to mark the occasion. Don't pay

It may be old news, but it was just brought to my attention that dodgeball has become a growing concern in grade schools across the country. The sport has been banned from schools in Virginia, Florida and Massachusetts. Parents in these states think that sports that involve "human targets" encourage violent behavior and also cause emotional damage. The New York Times writes that a professor from

the next generation of sam?Mockumentary aside, this Saturday the Gene Siskel Film Center (164 N. State) will be showing Johnny Dodgeball, a film that revolves around two things we all know so well -- dodgeball and using dodgeball to define our future selves.
