A Tale of Battle

Gather around children as I tell you a tale of great bravery. There was once a group of geeks...I mean warriors, that sought out a new way to do battle. A way that would honor the bravest, the toughest, the smartest, without all the mess of blood, guts and death. Their idea...splat each other with Jello, while wearing white T-shirts of course. On 07-07-07 their vision came to a field in Oldham County, where four groups of contestants withstood the challenge...and over 80 gallons of Jello. The contenders were smart, often professionals in their fields...now they were standing in a field and the ammunition proved challenging. Do you know how hard it is to fling Jello...and keep it intact until impact with your target?

It is extremely difficult if not damn near impossible. This took intelligence, creativity, and dare I say...weapons of mass propulsion.

The day was hot. The battle was long. And the ammunition was sticky. But alas, a victor was declared. Something that is disputed to this very day! So......I give you the rematch.Today on that same field in Oldham County the warriors will step forward once more. The sun shining off brilliant white T-shirts, shields and wiggly giggly Jello...and a few smiling faces.The rules have changed, the battle field has taken on the shape of a triangle with a team gracing each point. But the object is the same....take home the glory that is Jello!!!
