huntedbyafreak Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Quick question. People were getting marked with crosses on their hands when they entered. Why was I the only person with a question mark on their hand!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 The results were:1 Liell - Mr Moorings 20082 John Black (bouncer) and Spiderman tied4 me5 Farmer Joe6 Vampire Dave7 TeabagsNext year I think we should multiply everyone's score by their age. Would be much fairer that way Teabags acquitted himself very well for someone that does no exercise. He was totally game for the physical challenge. He averaged 5 pull ups per set for 5 sets. The only thing that let him down was the 2.5" variation between chest and beer gut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Quick question. People were getting marked with crosses on their hands when they entered. Why was I the only person with a question mark on their hand!?I think Hugh Kartta had a question mark as well. You weren't the only one anyway.Apparently there was a girl there who was quite a devout christian. She objected to having a cross put on her hand and then left in disgust during our set as she thought our last song had been announced as "Christian Song Of Death" as opposed to Chris' Song Of Death.

Teabags Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I think it was Hannah and Lauren working the door. If so, then you're lucky you just got a question mark. I've seen people get half of War and Peace written on their arm by them two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost Of Fudge Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 "Christian Song Of Death" i thought that's what you said too. i;m disappointed to find i;m wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 i thought that's what you said too. i;m disappointed to find i;m wrong.Blame Jim's accent.It has been pointed out to me that Christian song of death is a better title than Chris' song of death. But as the song is instrumental I don't suppose it matters, I didn't name it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look nae furtherthan Edinburghs The Fire And I, a brilliant two-piece bass/drum combo whove played T In The Park, Mexico City and theBarras, while supporting a number of notable bands.Ded Rabbit are a collection of funky musicians from the depthsof Tomintoul, Glenlivet and Aberdeen, complete with sax solos.Think Hendrix.
