Drawing Straws, Rolling Dice, Dominoes, Paper Rock, Scissors....
Or...just good ol' fashioned western shootout (Locke's suggestion)....(Albert said it would be more gentlemanly to have a duel)
You're probably wondering what the heck is going on in my neck of the woods? Well, Albert, Locke, Mountbatten, Flamboyant Flamingo, and the Sandhill Crane just found out that I will soon be departing for the good ol' Estados Unidos, Vereinigten Staaten, US of A, land without kimchi...land of the the free and chewing gum, home of the brave and bravest! I am about to return to my fatherland or homeland or motherland! Quite frankly, I'm OUTTA HERE! So, yes, my furry friends found out about my trip. Dang it.
I refused to tell them because I knew what would happen -- a brawl. According to Mom, I only have room for one of them. Mountbatten doesn't count, but he doesn't know this. He has to go with me because he rides shotgun everywhere I go. After all, he's an elephant, and people fear ginormous, trunk swinging, tusk spearing animals.
Ugh.., but they found out. And, they know that only one of them gets to go. Who has to stay behind and guard my belongings in kimchi-world, land of the open sewers? They've decided to host a tournament, and whoever wins the tournament gets to come along. Here is a list of the games:
Drawing straws, Yahtzee, Dominoes, Paper-Rock-Scissors, Marco Polo, Apple Bobbing, Jousting, Croquet, Soccer, Sumo-Wrestling, Archery, Hide and Seek, Water Polo, Bull-Fighting, Synchronized Swimming (Flamingo insisted -- he's not going, simply because he suggested this), Knot-tying, Staring Contest, Pie-Throwing, Cricket, Slug-bug car game, and last but not least, Freeze-Tag.
They began with drawing straws. Locke drew the shortest straw, Albert the longest...
Locke said, "I won. I drew the shortest. The shortest straw always wins."
Albert insisted that Locke was mistaken.
"Locke, you're an idiot! Haven't you ever heard the expression, 'short end of the stick?' I win. You're a dadgum loser and cheater. Chalk one up for me." He did a little dance and pretending to be surfing the waves in California.
Locke pounced on Albert. Mountbatten called Locke a "Sore-Loserman." The flamingo kept insisting that they begin the synchronized swimming. The Sandhill Crane left the room to look for a snack. I decided to do the same.
But, I'll keep you apprised of the contest results. It's a little sad. I want to take all of them. Well, the flamingo made it a little easier. He's not going -- synchronized swimming??! Really? They need to vote that dude off the island.
