7th August Shout Box

Stars & Stripes
Hoisted by Surrealist#1

1. Surrealist#1 USA..Make no mistake..he's good
2. Eebs#4 USA...Handed the flag up for hoisting
3. miffy42#2 UK..Ouch miffy, did you get biffed
4. jules44#1 UK...2 UK generals...back to back against adversity
5. WorldB#2 USA...the first in the chasing stampede

3/2 for the USA. Yep..had to use my fire extinguisher for the first time. Sparks were literally flying from their heels. Can see Health (mental) and Safety Issues are going to be a problem with so many determined snappy players running riot.
My fave Challenge player was AnneBonney....waving her cutlass she romped home in 8th...is really finding her form these last few days. Mind you...
colliewobbles made my beady eyes roll too.
So how go the private duels?
lg549 was in trouble with a posse of americans on her tail...literally, cos Eebs ran over her as a stepping stone. But she's back on her feet..OldSpotPig rashed in and extended a helping trotter and together they're back to streaky back and facing TAR_fan...Marsalinator...shadowzep and ryaman.
I'm trying not to ham this up too much. If you just winced, sorry, but this is my comfort zone. What the Dickens do you expect from a penguin...heh..heh.
Hope you don't read this with any Great Expectations.
adumbledore40 cleverly outran mfc but brave flopsy is on her scent. This leaves mfc in the sticky postion of having to fend off PDAZ USA...cat_brat63 USA and Georgia USA. Now...things could get sticky and fearsome here. There's a pile-up threatening to stampede in. Just like the misnamed broadband highway...it's getting narrow and I'm expecting some of you will go down...or just hang. Hope not.
lynn-ann is bravely taking onto 2 americans..oh go girl go...I always side with the underdog and RosaRita and chewwy together could be a toughie.
But the place where you just don't wanna be is from the 48th to the 65th trench of the battle lines.
It starts with jacky UK and dotsnoopyfan USA...trooper2196 UK...
wakazawaka UK...purelyqing UK....onebraincellUK UK... castortroy USA...skrizoo UK...martin_cube UK...solan_goose UK...milamtexan USA...
Haven't done yet ...keep scrolling
MarchHare007 UK ...Alien8 USA... argentum USA...drainman UK
Wetherby_Pond UK...glitterfairy UK and polaris UK.
It's unbelievable how close you guys are!
How many stretchers, splints and neck braces is that I'll need? Quick headcount...er, lots.
Any other scraps get dwarfed with the magnitude of this fistifight!


The Titans
Yesterdays top Titan was sparklingwine UK

Top 5 allegiances were sparklingwine UK...Deborah USA...Qmel USA
Stuhern UK...Scubascott USA

3/2 for the USA... a fine win from sparklingwine for the UK. And word leaked from HQ has it the UK are fighting back this month with Stu leading the charge. I can't divulge anymore..not until after the 10th days play when we have our customary peek at whick team is thrashing the living daylights out of who.
But on the Titans duels cat brat63 USA won her duel with purelyqing UK.
But jacky UK got the better of castortroy USA.
Sparklingwine biffed Alien8...and has to be my fave player for that, for winning and for romping into the top 10 where 4 UK & Co troopers are holding fast against the foe.

The Moguls
Yesterdays top sci-tech mogul was miffy42#2 UK

Congrats on 2 Wins for you miffy. And commiserations to jacky who got them all right and was denied glory by a measly 1 second! I always feel a pang of sympathy when that happens to anyone.
Did you know that after only 6 days running the gauntlet that a whopping 22 of have already swiped 40 bonus points or over... in easy penguin maths that's ...a 50% or over hit rate. You're all getting exceedingly clever.
I'll say that again...7 UK moguls and 15 USA moguls. Huh?
And todays treat is ....sausage. Please don't anyone use them as a cosh.


The Survivor
Yesterdays steel sheathed winner was jules44#1 UK

Yes...today is last chance to escape before KNOCKOUT day and anyone caught in the Danger Zone will be eliminated...10 of you will be captured by moi.

Get scrabbling...use whatever means you can think of to get free!
