Announcement of a grand caber challenge

Postby miked on Fri Mar 21, 2008 10:05 am

Hey folks,

make sure to check out the challenge that has arisen out of the posts in the "success in caber hunting" string.

Basically, Mike called me out. Then, I called him out. And now, we are having a caber showdown at Bridgeport.

Oh yeah!!! :mrgreen:

I think that whoever wins the caber at Bridgeport should be given the title "Caber King" for the rest of the year!!!!

I'll pick up a crown from Burger King. You can't be king without a coronation.
I'm not mean, you're just a sissy.

Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute. You're not going to be able to coronate any king up there. I'm not going to be able to make it to Bridgeport this year. ;)


OK, I'll go away now.

The crown will go well with the "Lord Sheafley" cape that I need to have made to pass to the sheaf winner each competition.

Are you getting him a "happy" meal too? You have to have the coronation feast.

"I'm still psched to see this caber challenge though."

What the heck is "psched"? You're not the spelling king, obviously! :lol: The word is "PSYCHED"! And to think, you are one of them college boys. ;) j/k

Yeah, this caber challenge will be really interesting to watch!

I have to go out and shovel some snow... AGAIN!!! :evil:

Adam, Adam, Adam.

Mike didn't mean "Caber King of the world". He meant "caber king of the tootsie roll" and "caber king of the kingdom of talking smack to the other guy who doesn't turn the tootsie roll".

Not all kingdoms are equal.

"Braining" Dickens might be a bit of a challenge.
