LAST EDITED ON 10-12-09 AT 11:54 AM (EST)I know you're all busy getting settled in our new Lodge locale, but it's time for some fun in the sun. This week will actually be a tribute to Tribe. You remember him, right? Well, some of you have tried to drink away those memories, but they're still there, aren't they? Since I don't have the creative genius to be original here, I'm going to use the Losers' favorite things of days gone by. Yep. Nude beach volleyball for one. So drop those drawers and get your loser self ready for combat. Two teams. Boys v. Girls. If my peach-nana radar is right, the girls team will have to sit one out. You have 10 seconds to decide. (No, there ain't no tarps.) Along with spiking, blocking and digging, you'll want to look good, strut, and talk some smack. Pics would be good. The net's already up? Seems Phil got his hard-working, make sure you have a good time, gnomes to work on it.
Then you'll want to head over to the media table and give your answers to the questions. Make sure the cam is pointed at your heads, this forum is still PG13, no matter what Tribe told you.
1. Oprah Book Club: Who will be seen reading tree mail? 25 points
2. Flag on the Play: Who will carry the Tribe flag to whatever challenge they have, whether Jeff shows up or not? 25 points
3. Jeff's Pet: Who will be asked the first question at TC by Jiffy? 25 points
4. Pushy Pushy: Who will vote first at TC? 25 points
Members of the team with the most individual points will each get an extra 25 points.
As for points last week, I have no idea. Hopefully Suzzee will show up with some kind of chart or graph or something. BUT, in honor of Tribe, you remember him, right? There will be a bonus. Sing me a song. Sing me someone else's song. Sing me your own song. Sing something that tells us what being a Loser means to you. Me? I thought of this - it reminds me of years of Tribe's hosting, a fish named Always, Kingfish, Agman, Molaholic and some ByBros, to name a few:

Everyday in lunch in high school,
And all of my senior year,
I'd drink my Coca-Cola with a touch of everclear.
I never had to study math, science or history,
I'd have a chemical flashback to jog my memory.
In my junior year I swore I loved sweet Miss Sherrie-Ann,
One night I put some everclear in her Dr. Pepper can.
I thought it'd make her easy, but she took it pretty hard,
I took her home and rang her doorbell, left her lyin' in the yard.
Tequila dries me out, and beer just makes me fat.
Whiskey makes me nauseous, tell me who the hell needs that?
If you're thinkin' about drinkin', then the answer's crystal clear,
Its the invisible intoxicant....its called everclear.
I remember my church picnic in the spring of '89,
They had 4 fresh watermelon sliced right off the vine.
When they bowed their heads giving grace for the food,
Hey, I pulled out the bottle, and I soaked them melons good.
Well they never knew what hit 'em, when the potion went to work,
They had Grandma's doin' backflips, Grandpa's lookin' up their skirts.
They were singing Hallelujah and Willie Nelson songs,
Preacher said it was the best dang picnic,
That the baptists had ever thrown.
Tequila dries me out, and beer just makes me fat.
Whiskey makes me nauseous, tell me who the hell needs that?
If you're thinkin' about drinkin', then the answer's crystal clear,
Its the invisible intoxicant....its called everclear.
When I'm drinkin' everclear, I think I'm king of this whole world,
I'm bigger and badder than John Wayne and cooler than Steve Earle.
Until I wake up and I'm face down in the hall,
Hey, I'm completely naked, for a reason I can't recall.
Well I'm kinda, sorta thinkin' that maybe I met a chick,
'Cause there's perfume in the air, and there's lipstick on my neck.
Well I hope that she was pretty and I hope that she was kind,
Enough to leave my clothes somewhere they're easy to find.
Tequila dries me out, and beer just makes me fat.
Whiskey makes me nauseous; tell me who the hell needs that?
If you're thinkin' about drinkin', then the answer's crystal clear,
It's the invisible intoxicant....its called everclear.
