*** The Squished Ball Broom Chop ***

Apparently a load of blokes with too much time on their hands are going to travel the globe to spend hours chasing a funny shaped ball (kinda like a squished football) . They are going to squabble and fight for it and, as soon as they get it, they kick it away or throw it to the ground. Sounds bloody daft to me, I would take the ball, give it to one team for 45 minutes, let them play catch and chase, NICELY, then let the other team have a turn. Both teams get some good playtime and there would be no 'Broccoli ears'. But it's not up to me, so we have to watch the crap on telly.

To try and make even slightly bearable I have devised an ingenious plan. I have, using all my artistic talent, created a board upon which are placed the flags and names of the nations who want to take part in the silly game. We all pay five New Zealand dollars each and our names are placed in a hat. In absence of a hat, a Tupperware device not unlike an ice-cream tub or sandwich box can be used. Then in a separate plastic storage container, the names of the teams are placed. Then one name is picked from each poly-vessel. A bit like the world cup draw itself.

The team then 'becomes' the person's who's name is drawn and their name is inscribed by the corresponding flag on my beautifully designed board. Please note, when I say 'becomes' that does not mean you own the team, because I think it would cost a lot more than $5, more likely $28

If we sell all 20 tickets there will be $100 dollars in the prize fund.

We have a choice of how the winnings will be split:

A) $10 to the world cup winners, $5 to the team they beat in the final, $85 to Adam for being completely right about the game and investing so much artistic talent into the game.
B) $70 to the world cup winners, $30 to the team they beat in the final (commonly known as 'the runner-up')

VOTE A : VOTE A : VOTE A : VOTE A : VOTE A

I know this idea is completely original so I get to name it: I've decided to call it the "The Squished Ball Broom Chop" I think it's a great name and beats the other two I thought of: Brush Joint or Sweep Stake.

Anyway, almost half the places have already gone, so pledge now by blogger and make sure you get your money to one of the Halston Road possie by Friday. One ticket per person until Friday when spare tickets are open to anyone.

In case of dispute the residents of Halston Road + Adam will be Judge & Jury (as always)

God I'm Good!
