Everyone is welcome to visit 10ki (or send a puppet) and post on the RMB during 7th and 8th November, when the cross regional games start. :)

Congratulations to Drummond and Elmsley for taking the first Canadian medal in the games.

Also in second, with 26 points, we have Linda Showgood from Drummond & Elmsley. Linda's costume include such great detail that the Judges are still arguing over whether the lobsters were actually alive.

Devil Heart on the other hand did not fair so well at the Beach Fashion Show:
Bullseye Betty
 
(standing on beach with microphone) “Hey, thank you, Barry….Well, all I can say is ‘Wow!’ and ‘Wower'! It’s hard to believe it is going to get any better than what we saw today. Of course we all know how the medalists fared; but some of the outfits worn by contestants that finished lower down in the ranking where, well, just the ‘Wowest!’….For example, there was a rather…uh…interesting outfit worn by Fairlea Godmother from Canada’s famed ‘province’ of Devil Heart. Much had been expected of this contestant, especially after they arrived with the cutest mascots we have ever seen on The Isands. However, unfortunately Ms. Godmother looked more like a throw back to my Grandmother in that outfit. Her modesty earned her a rock-bottom score of ‘1’ on the Originality portion of the event.

Bullseye Betty
 
“Although she was able to rebound a bit in the ‘Detail’ and ‘Technique’ aspects of the event - achieving a mid-level ‘6’ score there - Ms. Godmother’s…uh…rather prudish attire and unwillingness to show more ‘leg’, undoubtedly led to her low score. In fact, XKI Judge Mortimer G. Hornsnapple III was overheard to sneer: ‘I’ve seen more skin than that at a Puritan Revival Meeting.’ Not good.

A few of our teams are on display in this extremely informative thread:
The Islanders Beach Championship: Beachcombers Bleachers

Almonaster
 
The Monasterian team were in high spirits, but were not about to hang around talking to the press when there was a beach without snow on it to be enjoyed. An enterprising free-lance photographer did manage to get them to stand still for one shot before they got lost in the crowd.

Devil Heart brought it’s mascots:

Hello everybody.
I have a hamper to share with everyone - given to me by Rose from Devil Heart, fresh from The House at Pooh Corner.
Here is what they said:

Queendom of Myself
"Of course!"
*Finds a large hamper and begins to fill it with muffins, mimosas and her special brownies.*
"Anyone else care to put something in here?"

Bearistotle and Hebert
"Open hamper, snag a brownie, add packets of ham, Spam, BACON!, sausages (all kinds), scrambled eggs, biscuits, pancakes, doughnuts, and waffles along with reheating directions. Add thermoses of coffee, tea, cocoa, juice and milk. Also, some fresh fruit, syrup, sprinkles and whipped cream.
Look at hamper. Add wheels to it*

Hundred Aker Wood
"Honey! They need honey in the hamper!"
*Opens hamper and puts in a jar of honey.*
"There. That's better."

Captain-Less Ship
"Bandanas! They all need athletic bandanas, to keep the sweat out of their eyes, and help spectators tell the competitors apart."
*places a bandana-bag full of bandanas in all sorts of festive colors on top of the hamper*


One of the most unusual athletic teams is presented by wop:
Sauron
 
Well it looks like some of the more sophisticated of the Mordor contingent has arrived.

I hate to laugh at the lass, but the commentary of poor Fairlea Godmother was just so cutting.. If you'll forgive the pun... :giggle:

Well, I think she is ok now.
She headed straight for the nearest pumpkin patch and has been spotted drinking pumpkin flavoured cocktails from glass slippers whilst plotting her next meddlesome family take over.




Sorry I am a little late with this report, but here are the results from the Taco Island Sand Sculpting Championship.

Doug Diggins from Randomain – Gold
Caligula from NewTexas "Big Tex" – Silver
Marcela Guerrero from studlypenguins – bronze

A so far unsubstantiated report made by Barry's Aide

Well, we have some more breaking information on that growing Judges’ scandal that we were beginning to report on after the Beach Fashion Show, before we were so rudely interrupted by that Rosemary’s Baby-Nobel Peace Prize nonsense…Here’s the deal. You’ll recall there were eyebrows raised when it was reported that Judge Frosty LaCoure had supposedly inappropriately inflated the marks for her male bikini-clad Wintreath region-mates….Well, that conduct, if proven, could certainly lead to strong sanctions against Ms. LaCoure. In fact, it appears the sanctions to be levied by the IBC Games Committee will be catastrophically harsher than previously anticipated.. Simply stated, our sources tell us that both Judge LaCoure, pictured here,

And Wintreath will be...........


The above report remains unsubstantiated because of an interruption to the broadcast with this announcement

Announcer
 

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring you this breaking inter-regional news. I’m reading this directly from the wires now:

QUICHE TORTE RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN TEXAS

We’ll have film at 11:00. We now return you to our regularly scheduled program, joined in progress.


We don’t know what was said, we do know Barry’s response:
Barry
 
….that such draconic sanctions would come from this is indeed amazing. Thank you for your report and please keep us posted, Aide.


Could it be, will Winreath and Judge Frosty LaCoure be disqualified from the game?
Hmm.....




It seems our own Canadian judge, Sandy McDougal has aroused comment from the media for her harsh and unforgiving stance towards this highly scoring entry Stella Brink, from Deep South Borland (Wysteria) into the Sand Sculpting Championship:
