3rd (2008)

The Battle for the Brown

Unfortunately, I'm drawing a blank in trying to remember any details about the 3rd October Classic. Unlike in '07, in '08 I was way too cabbaged* to act in any sort of capacity as the official witness for the tournament. Though, I do remember that the sportsmen involved were Stuart Dunbar, Gilles Michaud, Paul McCarthy, and myself. Fortunately, I took a lot of pics that day.

A few hazy details I can still draw on, include Stu winning rather handedly, and then being surprised that he actually won something. I think his words may, or may not have been, when handed the prized brown jacket, "I won something? Huh. What's this thing?"


*I looked up euphemisms for "drunk" and got "cabbaged" off a BBC list.
