I was thinking rain Matrix.

They’re dodgin’ in the rain – just dodgin’ in the rain …

♫ You’ve gotta run between the raindrops if you wanna see the sun…run, run, run…between the raindrops… ♫ — Pat Benatar (I figured I’d skip my “dodgeball gripe”)

“If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.” Many years ago, there was an anime about supercharged dodgeball games.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball

I suppose if you can successfully dodge raindrops in a rainstorm, you can dodge just about anything.

Today’s “Foxtrot Classics” that is missing is April 20, 2003.

There is irony to two boys who hate PE class improving their agility to survive it.

Imagine how cracked they would be in a gunfight.

Uh – nope. Dodging things from above uses a whole different set of muscles.

I was way better at dodging than throwing, so would end up standing off against hurlers, one of whom broke my finger (index, not pinky) when I tried to block his shot.

It looks like an interpretive dance. Translation: dweebs are all wet.

As a former letter carrier, a good mailman never gets wet as he walks between the raindrops.

I am thinking of Uncle Martin running between the raindrops. A favorite!

Reminds me of the story Which Witch by Eva Ibbotson. The men of a village trick a coven of witches by claiming they can “walk between the raindrops”.

Matrix time oh yeah.

Oh, they’re good…
