The Judges Have Been Selected
An important part of the trip will be the “Klepto Challenge”. This involves a series of items being stolen and photographed for admission to the judges to decide upon later which is the best.
I’d be lying if I didn’t admit it was a fairly easy process to pick judges.
Kallie has impressed James and I on more than one occasion by blowing big numbers on the Sharper Image Breathalyzer. Her ability to drink to the point that most people would die and her demanding to be a judge made it an easy selection.
Brandon was selected in lieu of Heather. Sorry Heather, it’s nothing against you we just had too many girls. It was important to select judges that we both knew even though the judges will not know who captured what. Brandon is also excellent at making fun of Heather and bad football players. We both also both enjoy teasing Heather so an agreement was made to pick Brandon after a text message conversation confirming his dedication.
Diane of course was another one of those who demanded to be a judge. Really I have zero faith in her judging abilities but she’s cute and was around when we originally formulated this plan. Diane’s bad taste in college sports teams really brings her judgement into serious question.
Judging will be done upon returning, if we do, from the trip. Winner receives the title of Awesome.
