17th December Shout Box



Stars & Stripes
Hoisted by WorldB

1. WorldB#1 USA Ripped down the Union Jack
2. midgetmark#5 UK. Has it in safekeeping...but
3. mike32768#2 USA The horde came trampling home
4. nakarinna#10 USA Yes....in vast numbers!
5. ryanknight USA No messing...this was serious stuff

4 out of 5. Yeh....did you get that? 4 out of 5! Oh well done america. I was getting worried...thought maybe....naw....not you...well truthfully now...thought you'd lost your nerve but the battle fever is back...the adrenalin rushed...and boy did you all swarm over the UK defence like a rash.
I'm chuffed.
Must have been that fab inspiring poem from julieanne123. Might have been cat brat's high calorie treats but they're dished out on the Mogul...though come to think of it I did the odd unexplained UFO winging over the parapet...must have been fruitcake and whatnots. And there was me getting kinda smug imagining that we'd attracted some alien spectators.
Right...what I wanna know...is was it a one off? Can the hungry horde (USA) do a repeat performance? Will the UK & Co let them? These are big questions...and I suspect as answerable as the Meaning of Life.
My favourite Challenge player...well....I could be biased and say...4. I have 4. Them there top nifty americans. But that would be too easy though they deserve some adulation...even diefication for their Deed. I wanna mention Little Heaven...why? Because Little Heaven is one of my Top Mops...actually the Top Mop...and romped home with a PB. Shared 25 seconds with burnsbaron. So many good players. Hmm..that's 6 favourite players...it's getting outta hand but I don't care. ...cos it's fun.
I'm munching warm gingerbread (thanks cat brat63 for letting me swipe some) and refereeing these private duels....nearly choked on the crumbs too when tihata decked Stuhern and shot straight into the Top 20 Toughies with magijoh1 in hot pursuit for the UK. leaving Stu and poolosopher in deadly combat.
Cyprus1 took a tumble as Marsalinator and ryaman charged past....I was busy earlier on...reviving exhausted players stretched out like limp kippers.
Blame StinkyPudden and Ewemama...nobbled OldSpotPig....but are still trying to defeat judetheobvious. ...who I reckon is a bit of upcoming talent so I'll cheer for him.
And the trench warfare stand-off....4 USA versus 3 UK...in chain mail and helm... This is promising to get tricky and dangerous.
Well kjc and lg549 split off into a private USA V UK duel...with kjc winning the edge...but only just. And cat brat63 and Silvertop.....USA V UK can't get a crowbar between them.
Now adumbledore40 and ncb1gdog are playing tactical...I think...holding back...waiting to see who's gonna tackle Roly...except while they're deploying cheeky little Roly has targeted bluetwo. Is that courageous or what? There is an old adage....the best method of defence is attack. I reckon this one's snowballing into a mammoth close encounter....soon Dr Gas and bhs63 are going to jump in...and Qmel....you've been dragged into the thick of it . Trapped. Ambushed.
This is a scrap par excellence in my book. Super players, all with nerves of steel.

And the Mogul?
Yesterdays Magnifico Movie Mogul was jules44#1 UK

No,...you read right. I know jules44 usually dominates the Challenge. It's called versatility. Natural Champs are born with it, it's in their genes. But 4 out of top 5 yesterday were americans again.....mos623 ...WorldB ...shadowzep and poolosopher . UK they mean business. So need I say more? These four are my fab fave Moguls. Well done.

Now time for me to nip over to spectate/referee/filch edible treats...and Hi there to biscuit1956 who I see's come back to play after going AWOL. Biscuit...dangerous name to have when there'e a peckish penguin on the prowl!
