While I was sipping my morning Metaxas and trying not to step in the possum poo I was looking at the events on the Tavern noticeboard, quite a lot of activities I see. I don't think the strip croquet league or underwater synchronised scrabble is quite my scene and the waiting lists for the jello wrestling and velcro jumping are way too long, but the All-comers Gutbarging looks just the thing that nature and over half a century of overindulgence has equipped me for. The Mudcat picture gallery seems to suggest stiff competition though, good job there are weight categories. Will it take place in the jello pool? What is the Cleigh O'Possum trophy that the winner gets? Not a gold plated possum chip I hope. Well I'll put my name down for the eliminators and see how I get on.
