Our forum writeup for game 7:

Evidently their name is based on a song and scene from a pseudo famous musical:
Wikipedia tells us "Whilst at work repairing the car, the T-Birds fantasize about what it will look like when it has had a paint job, singing "Greased Lightning". Soon Danny gets the other T-Birds convinced that the rickety old car could actually be a "major piece of machinery" You can witness the great affront to manliness here:

I have a vague recollection from my childhood of Olivia Newton John dressed up in stilettos at the end of the movie, but the rest of the movie has been expunged from my mind due to the psychic trauma of witnessing all the Jazz Dancing and the appearance of Sha Na Na. My older sister watched nothing else for 6 months straight...
We should be able to move the ball at will because:
Our offense is systematic...hydromatic...ultramatic
Why, it could be Greased Lightnin'!
We'll get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads, oh yeah
Keep talkin', whoah keep talkin....
God damn her and her musicals!
Apologies to JCJ as I did not get his permission before posting this and thus squashing the steet cred he had built up over the past year.
