KICK THE TURKEY 1

Thursday November 27
by Djentsch

We had several show up for the first of the great Thanksgiving turkey hunts. After having the rules explained, the Hunt began - read on see the action that happened. :

Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "on your mark"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "ah, we started yet?"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "get set"
Dinger has just arrived.
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "GO"
Gwaptiva gets set
Tenabutter has left.
Dinger has left.
Gwaptiva has left.
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "and they're off with Tenabutter in the lead, followed by Dinger and Gwaptiva"
Your comm unit crackles with a message from Gwaptiva, "heeere, turkey turkey turkey"
Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "gulp"

The turkey seemed a bit worried, not sure why. Must been a hungry bunch on the hunt tonight. With a cry of pain, the Turkey announced that it'd been hit:

Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "gobble! gobble! OW!"

With Gwaptiva getting the first kicks in of the game. At the same time, he gave us his thoughts on Sumatra:

Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "oh joy! I hate this planet"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "at the 10 minute mark, we've had 1 player get on the board with 5 kicks. who will get the next one in?"

Now I'm not sure, but I think that Gwaptiva also has a problem with Catspaws as well:

Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "ooo, kick the freaky kitten!!!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "looks like the foul fowl has found a safe haven... but for how long?"

Which lasted about 5 seconds when Gwaptiva got another 5 kicks in.

Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "5 minutes left and Gwaptiva is in the lead with 13 kicks"

Just when it looked like Gwaptiva would control the first round:

Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "and Tena just got in 8 kicks"

Gwaptiva tried a Turkey Call, but I don't think he had it just right:

Your comm unit crackles with a message from Gwaptiva, "heeeere, turkey turkey turkey"

At the end of the first round, the scores were as follows: in the lead with 13, Gwaptiva, followed by Tenabutter with 8 and Dinger with 0. During the break, the players were treated to food and drink by myself, the least I could do for the hard work they were doing.

There was a slight problem with Dinger's kicks showing up, and that was hashed out:

Dinger says, "my fault"
Gwaptiva says, "aha"
Dinger says, "Tena's fault actually"
Tenabutter shakes head as usual
Gwaptiva takes of his head and wrings the sweat out into a small puddle
Dinger says, "there's always a woman to blame"
Gwaptiva says, "didn't Bob Marley sing already: No woman no blame"
Dinger grins widely
our comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "making you into drumsticks!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "quack"
Dinger says, "turkey salad"

Looks like they were planning how they would use the meat from the bird once it they caught it.

Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "ey?"
Your comm unit relays a message from Tenabutter, "dogs waiting for their legs Turkey"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "hmm, I think the turkey is trying to confuse us by speaking foreign"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "it is confused? I cannae even find it and I been everywhere"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "and Dinger just got on the board with 4 kicks"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "with 10 minutes left, Gwaptiva is still in the lead with 13, but Tena is RIGHT behind him with 12, and Dinger has 4"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "I need to get out more; I'm discovering new things"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "DOH!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "NO FAIR!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "I was trippeded up"
Your comm unit relays a message from Tenabutter, "lol"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "sounds like the Turkey is fighting back"
Your comm unit crackles with a message from Gwaptiva, "weeee, Turkey in the castle!!"

At the end of the second round the scores were, 19 Gwaptiva, 12 Tena and 6 Dinger.

At the start of the third and final round: Tena was out first followed by her hubby, with Gwaptiva left flapping in the wind as if he forgot what to do.

Gwaptiva has just arrived.
Gwaptiva kicks Turkey
Gwaptiva has left.
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "ummm, there was no Turkey here Gwaptiva"

Even though I told them that there was no bird in the Wok, they all decided to check it out anyways.

Tenabutter has just arrived.
Tenabutter has left.
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "can never be too careful"
Dinger has just arrived.
Dinger has left.
Dinger has just arrived.
Dinger has left.

Gwaptiva got confused, must be cause he's in Germany or something:

Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "eep, that's no turkey, that's a grizzle"
Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "wow, a shocking 11 kicks by the Gwap'ed one"

Then came what might have been the downfall of the bird:

Your comm unit relays a message from Djentsch, "Sorry folks, it took me a few to count all of the Kicks that Tena just got in... 32 of them."
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "WHAT!!?!?!"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "did turkey get stunned?"
Your comm unit relays a message from Turkey, "frozen turkey"
Your comm unit relays a message from Tenabutter, "shoot for the head and he froze"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "looks like it"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "there went my lead... need more lead"
Your comm unit relays a message from Tenabutter, "can certainly claim the toe hurts"
Your comm unit relays a message from Gwaptiva, "hmm that monorail hasn't become more efficient"

After getting kicked 32 times in a row, the Turkey pulled out all of the stops and found a hiding place that lasted until the end of the third round. After recalling the players and counting up the kicks, the results were as follows:

Djentsch says, "ok, Dinger is in last with 6 kicks"
Tenabutter has bought you a pint of Diesel's Old Peculiar strong dark ale.
Gwaptiva cheers in consolatoin
Turkey thanks Dinger
Djentsch says, "Gwpativa is in second with 30"
Gwaptiva exclaims, "yay!"
Gwaptiva says, "I thought for sure that was gonna be winning score"
Dinger says, "over shot the LP, singed a few turkey feathers"
Djentsch says, "and the winner of tonight's 2008 Turkey Kick is Tenabutter with an outstanding 44 kicks."
