Ultimate Team Cardboard Fortress Battle
« on: March 10, 2009, 03:28:39 pm »

Gimpson posted this on Twitter earlier today. I sounds like more fun than should be allowed by law. If I were to try I would lose in a comically rapid fashion.

Plus there's a GOF shout-out. http://automatedredemption.com/flavorcountry/utcfb.html

That is from the blog of ferocious j. It is too bad he doesn't come round here any more.

Apropos of nothing, Wombat, I'm surprised you never covered the Stamford Chimp uprising in Animals Behaving Badly.  Perhaps because the regular media worked themselves into a lather over it?  Jeff Corwin had a rather evenhanded take.

I felt had nothing even mildly amusing or insightful to add to the discussion of that incident. (Um, yeah, I do try to be at least mildly amusing and insightful, if it is too subtle for anyone to notice...) The thing is that that's really a story for another really depressing blog that I could easily start, about people behaving badly towards animals. Expecting a chimp to live like a person is bound to end badly for everyone.

Sounds awesome enough, but it's described as "A New Game I've Invented."  It must be verified as awesome.  Someone needs to organize this, and post videos.

I am pretty sure that the inventor has already organized this.
But he doesn't index his posts or anything so someone has to read the whole blog to prove this.

At the bottom of the page he says that the 2nd match was held in May '06, but presumably there's no video.

Yeah, I am not good at organizing groups, but I have found some faint interest in the office in putting together a South Florida match.  (I think this could be awesome at the beach if I could locate a suitably unoccupied stretch.)  From what I understand, there is FJ's Bay Area group, and another group in Vegas that has staged a match. 

A little more video can be found at MySpace here.

Do the 'quote' thing to a post that does that, like Ash's, and you'll see what it looks like.

That does look pretty fun, but I'd imagine clean-up is a bear.  I suppose you could always say the losing team has to pick everything up.
