Loki Challenge Winners & Wrap Up!

[PapaGnome]

Greetings Folks,

We are writing to thank everyone who participated in this year's DG Loki Challenge!  We had lots of entries this year, a wealth of judges and many attendees to the challenge, itself!  We, the DG staff, can not tell you what a great time was had and how appreciative we are for everyone's interest!

The races for the winners were tight this year and there were many tasty bottles!  Here is a list of the final results:

Traditional Loki
1st Place - OCat
2nd Place - Teach
3rd Place - Lady Witts

"Flavored" Loki  (Drinks made with a loki base, plus additional flavoring)
1st Place - Trinn
2nd Place - Teach
3rd Place - John H

"Designer" Drinks  (Drinks made with alchohols other than a loki base)
1st Place - Lady Witts
2nd Place - Colt the Scout
3rd Place - Wiccaholly

We had MANY return entrants!!  Please, even if you didn't place this year, DO NOT hesitate to continue to enter!  Maybe 2009 will be YOUR year!!!

We'd like to send out special thanks to Mike P (DG Camp Organizer Extraordinaire) for doing SO much to make the Challenge a success this year.  We couldn't have done it without you, Mike!!!

Also, special thanks go out to Renshirts, Ren Tippers & Pyrate Prynts for donating prizes to all of our wonderful winners (as well as door prizes, too!)

There will be a few changes for next year's challenge.  (Clarification of types of drinks, submission containers, etc.)  So, if you'd like to participate in 2009 and would like stay abreast of the changes/updates/rules, please join the group at <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LokiChallenge>.

[*Teach*]

I'll help!
Of course... as the reigning Loki Lord my very presence should be help enough, but any other help you may need I'm there for ya!
It'll be fun to watch as the peasants attempt to best me

(no fun if I don't get to talk smack before hand ya know)

*Butterrum or Almond or Lokiberry or ... so many winning choices... which shall I defeat them with this year?*

[LadyJessica]

The Loki GODDESS will make her best attempt to take you crown.

[*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*

[LadyJessica]

Yes...Goddess as so dubbed by the Celtic Rogues last year.  Hmmmm...wager...let me get to the tasting time in my loki and I'll think about it.  (One month)


BTW Scol...how many can we enter and what are the catagories...for the people that have never entered (me) and for those that don't have a yahoo account and can't join the group for that reason.

GO,Jessica, Go-Jessica........!

I'll cover that bet.

Now Loki Goddess, you have to win. Teach already has too much Pyrate from me.

[*Teach*]

So... the Goddess has a cheering section?
Still, I intend to win regardless
Zaubon, your on. I could use more Pyrate from you... as always

*4th classic blunder, never bet against Teach when rum is on the line...*

I gotta stand in Teach's Corner on this on..... I think he's gonna win it again....

I have had MANY Teach Loki samples and they are GOOOOOD......

I have faith in my Goddess, we're going home with the Pyrate!

[brier patch charlie]

I feel a change in the wind says I. There be a new goddess of loki. ARRRRRR

[*Teach*]

Faith in your friends and/or Goddesses is much to be desired and admired
'Tis a shame she wont be winning

Young Thomas is correct... mine is goooood with a capital mmmmm Yummy

*Should I once more enter the butterrum.. it's already one once. Perhaps a new flavor?

If I was in your shoes, I'd would be desperate to come up with a strategy to reduce my embarassment too.

Who in camp will appreciate the Pyrate the most?....hmmm

[LadyJessica]

Boys...boys...what am I ever going to do with you!? 

Zaubon...you must understand that Teach doesn't realize that the only reason he hasn't had any REAL competition is because I've never entered my Loki...I've usually only gone in for the day and never really went out to the campgrounds when they were holding the challenge.

And Teach...like I said I'll let you know if I'll up the ante once I get my first tastings out of the way...should be at the end of the month.

[Just Randall]

Teach, Teach, he's our man,
If he can't do it... well, we'll just have to find someone else, I guess.
