“Championship Football Game (First Down on Nicki’s Face),” Episode 6

Nicki feels queasy as she and Gneeecey travel to work at his GAS Broadcast Network in his thirty-two-door white, fully articulated, really stretched limo. 

Driver Culvert double-parks on Perswayssick City’s main drag, Murgatroyd Avenue. Nicki and Gneeecey step out onto the sidewalk.

As they do, a tiny football bounces off the bridge of her nose and hurtles straight into her left eye, point first. Nicki stands there on the sidewalk, in pain and stunned. 

A crowd gathers around her, including many kids on their way to school. They start chanting, “Dee-fense! Dee-fense!” Referee whistles blow. 

Gneeecey warns Nicki that she must stand perfectly still and allow the birds scrimmaging on her face to continue play. “It’s stinkin’ chaaampionship mini-sparrow football,” shrills Gneeecey. “Ya gotta stand still till they complete play!” He adds, “If ya move, ya can get fined for interference—”  

As Nicki protests, Gneeecey warns, “County ordinance BS 396.3—which I wrote my stinkin’ self—clearly states that birds may use people as goalposts an’ playin’ surfaces, wit’in city confines as they determine fit, durin’ all post-season play—play-offs an’ championships.” He then threatens to make a “snitizen’s arrest” if she does not comply.  

The red team makes a first down, then with their white-uniformed rivals fly up into the skies, presumably to continue play on someone else’s nose. 

Gneeecey tells Nicki that she’s lucky—sometimes the fine-feathered footballers poop on you. 

The two arrive late, (Gneeecey’s fault, as usual), to Grandma’s office.
