Aug. 3rd, 2008 10:32 amThis year at the annual Tai Pan BBQ The Monster Croquette game took an interesting turn.
Monster Croquette, for those who don't know, is a game of Croquette that takes place over the oddest terrain we can find and over a very large course. Rocks, trees, dry creek beds, slopes, all fair game.

chuck_melville usually wins. He's that good. The game should be subtitled "Beat Chuck". This year was different, and not because I came close to knocking Chuck out before he could become poison [arrgh! So close!]
No, it was our host, Amy. The True Dark Horse Winner.
Not only did she struggle at the back of the pack, but she also took time out to chase dogs from the field and picnic food, made sure everyone had coats when it got cold, went to the bottom of the hill to get mail, and shuffled chairs about so spectators could sit,
but she also didn't run from the poison players. She plodded through the course, and in the end, saved the youngest two players for last, letting them play for as long as they could. A game to remember among the Tai Pan BBQ history books.

Congratulations on a great game Amy.
