Turkey Cup #5 was nothing short of legendary. The Potato Mashers squared off against Team Wide and Long, and let’s just say the spuds were served piping hot—mashing their way to victory with a side of gravy confidence.
Captain Kevin and the Potato Mashers came out ahead and earned the 1st place prize, “Gravy on Top”. Team Wide and Long, hit too many wide and long and claimed the “Leftovers” prize. They walked away with their feathers ruffled. Next time, Captain Tracy!!!!
In another showdown, the Best Heckler Award. Usually a coveted honor, but this year the weather sabotaged it—hecklers were too busy shivering to heckle. With only the Tournament Director braving the cold, it was a frosty 33.5°F with wind chill. Odds of recovery from that chill? Exactly 33.5%. And sure enough, the Director was MIA on night two. In spite of this, with no votes for the heckler award, bottled prizes filled with spirits that captured the Turkey Cup ambiance were given to the director (+ a bucket…let’s call it a stainless steel wine bottle cooler). Thank you, players, for your generosity.
So, while the Potato Mashers took home the trophy, the director walked away with the bucket of prizes. Wide and Long? They walked away wide, long, and wondering how mashed potatoes stole the show.
And that’s a wrap for Turkey Cup #5.
