The decathlon was awesome, so thanks for everyone who showed up and competed for fabulous prizes. And thanks to everyone who helped out, and made it all go.
We took a few snaps. Things that are forever stuck in my mind:
- CaptainSodium‘s rendition of a song about 3 nails and crucifixion with accompanying spatula waving
- Ellen’s burger
- Fantastic bribes that shall remain secret
- People dancing in our living room
- People asking me stuff, as if I’d know the answer
- Creative cheating
- Rumours of clothing optional trig tests
- vodka drinks with cherries
- The trophies – all of them. Being flabberghasted upon seeing each one, and thinking how fantastic and creative their creators are
- Limericks being read
- Seeing people I really really like, and even getting chance to talk to them
- The interpretive dancing – team Afghanistan’s mass dance, and the fence wearing team Omega’s table topic rendition
- People being persuaded to run around the block with things on fire in broad daylight
- The barbecue wars and mooneyman‘s quest for what amounted to spiced concrete to make his entries
- Realizing that I don’t like real bratwurst
- Weighing Chris in before and after drinking to see how much fluid he’d managed to stash in himself (3 pounds)
- Cheating at late night boardgames
- Mary’s mother giving a fantastic interpretive dance 1 out of 10
- People realizing that they really could hula more than one hoop
- nationelectric‘s winning score
- Finding crockery oddly stacked in the bathroom
- Being surrounded by good peoples, and my wonderful partner
- Presents which were completely unexpected and greatfully received
