Loki Challenge Winners & Wrap Up!

[*Teach*]

Finally... competition
Goddess... of Loki? Truly?
Perhaps.
However, The Lord of the Loki shall remain undefeated

a wager mayhap?

*I would even bet a bottle of rum... Pyrate even*

I was attempting to match the suggested wager. An alternative will require consideration.

I think... something near and dear to you as rum is to me...
You should have to bet a spatula!

*Zaubon's Spatula vs. Teach's Rum... sounds like a weird wrestling match...*

[Zaubon]

Okay Teach, you want something emotionally important to me.
I normally don't attach emotions to things, I save those for people, but I did make an exception at LARF last year.
To commemorate a special weekend, with a special lady that also rides, I bought a model of a motorcycle. That is what I'll put up against your rum.

[*Teach*]

I cannot take that bet...
Rum is replaceable, that model isn't
The emotional attachment to my rum is fleeting and minor and not comparable
sorry bro...
Make a bet of something cheap and replaceable and your on my friend.

*I may love my rum... but when the bottle is empty I can get another one*

[brier patch charlie]

GOOD MAN, Teach!

[Zaubon]

Okay this is the last time.


Should it be determined by an impartial jury that Teach's Loki is superior to that sample provided by the Loki Goddess, he shall recieve her box.









Should it be determined by an impartial jury that Teach's Loki is superior to that sample provided by the Empress of the North, he shall recieve her duck.









You're right, I only invest time and money in my wagers, but the amount of money is starting to cause emotions......

[*Teach*]

Duuuuuuude,
As long as there is not an emotional "can never replace this item" feeling with these items then I accept
How's that?

*that lunch box would be great for me rum!*

[Thomas Eagle]

I like the lunch box.

[Blue66669]

Hey wait!!! I didn't know I had a duckee!!! GIMME!!!

[*Teach*]

My duckie now... or it will be
muwahaha
(HEY, wait, when did I turn evil?)

*Try taking my rum and you'll see my evil side for sure...*

[Zaubon]

Hey wait!!! I didn't know I had a duckee!!! GIMME!!!

Of course you can have your duck back, so you can enjoy it while drinking the Pyrate that formerly belonged to Teach.

Okay, undecided on this.

If Andi wants me to act as a Judges-Judge this year like last year, I won't enter. If not, I have a few entries.

For information, since I judge BBQ contests in the Houston area and therefore have some training, a Judges-Judge makes sure that it is a double blind contest. The tasting judges don't see the entrants bottles (some are dead give-a-way). The Judges only score on  the plain cups that they see (which have a number attached to the bottom. Of course, in BBQ tasting, we have to remind them to only take a taste, since after 30 or 40 entries, they could get really stuffed). 2 years ago, at a VA hospital BBQ contest, a couple of judges volunteered for the beans, chicken, ribs, and brisket contests. They were really in pain after the ribs judging and the brisket tasting had them gasping. Of course, the Judges-Judge then had the honor of only eating the best entries of each group.

I'm sure Andi will be posting the rules in the next few months, including the catagories (traditional, flavored, etc.).

[mpullen]

Presently already bottled:

Traditional
Traditional, using orange blossom honey

Presently being tested (as in flavor/mixture) and adding Everclear later when the mixture is stabilized:

Root beer float (root beer extract and vanilla)
Pina colada (rum, banana, and coconut extracts)

Future experiments:

Strawberry
Blackberry
Cherry
Chocolate

Last years banana split was pretty much a flop, even though the added cherry gave a thrill. The pina colada was lame, so this year's has rum extract. But as Teach so pointed out "why rum flavored drink when there is real rum?"

[*Teach*]

Hey wait!!! I didn't know I had a duckee!!! GIMME!!!

Of course you can have your duck back, so you can enjoy it while drinking the Pyrate that formerly belonged to Teach.

Sigh... poor Blue... no duckee for you
It's gonna be mine!
And... I am soooo going to enjoy eating my lunch out of that lunchbox

*but... I may share the pyrate rum still... maybe*

[Blue66669]

Well then, guess I'm gonna have to really step it up, cause I'll be damned if I'mma lose that dem duckee to "that Rum guy". Oh, and BTW, when I win, I want the duckee, the lunchbox, AND the dem RUM!!!!

Yeah, um, this officially means war....

[*Teach*]

Declare whatever your heart desires... Do what you must but in the end, the Loki Lord shall reign once more
(already singing... Rubber Duckie your the one...)

*"That Rum Guy" doesn't take chances on rum...*
