BB2002 : Two Tribes Go To War

Tuesday 7th January 2020

The two tribes faced each other, tomahawks at the ready.  Dastardly Don’s BOOTboy Braves had been challenged by Tony Triumph and his Fugawi Tribe.  Fortunately we were spared their war chant about who they were.  Or was it where they were?

Before hostilities began, the tribes gathered at the Outdoor Adventure Company’s teepee. Hot Air Martin was amused to see that featured on the wall was a picture of his very own High Adventure balloon.

Some went to reconnoitre the territory but were rather alarmed to find a plane that had seemingly been brought down by a volley of arrows.

Peace didn’t last for long.  Soon we were out in the open receiving expert coaching from Ryan and Kelly about the best way to throw a tomahawk for it to stick in the body of your target.

Each brave from each tribe would throw nine tomahawks to complete a round.  The scoring system was quite simple but I will pass over the detail- we left it to the injundicators to call out the totals.  Only the best four individual scores from each round would count for the tribe’s total, which is just as well as I proved to one of the least competent.

The Fugawis won the first three rounds but the honour of the BbBs was rescued by Dead Eye Pete with an outstanding accomplishment in the fourth.  It didn’t stop the Fugawis winning but that, plus a solid performance by Green Man Martin, saved the reputation of the BOOTboy Braves from being devastated.  Let the record show that the Fugawis outscored the BbBs by 389 points to 348.

Dead Eye Pete inevitably took the prize for being the ace axeman, ahead of Hot Air Martin and Wigwam Graham.

This was followed by the individual chuck out.  One axe in the board got you through to the second round.  Two axes to the third round in which three axes in the board were required.  It was then that Killing Town John, who had been the laggard in the tribal challenge, found his throwing arm.  However, at the last gasp he was out-axed by Hot Air Martin.

Hostilities over, the tribes retreated to the Punchbowl where the law now prohibits the smoking of the pipe of peace. Nevertheless, joined by palefaces Philip, Robin and Stan, a perfectly pally pow-wow ensued.

COMMENTS

Mike:  Knowing how you love quality TV and scary movies….. see The Axe Boys.

Don: Click on the title screen on the right but be prepared to be afraid.  Very afraid.

Tony:  Brilliant!!  Just too late for the Golden Globes!!

John H:  Really good, Mike.  Incredibly professional.  Perhaps you could get a part time job as a Hollywood film director.

Don: Another scary Axe scene (not involving BOOTboys) can be found at The Axe Maiden.

Don: Just discovered in the wreckage of the plane, another video, this time featuring the BOOTboys.
