Absolute Blue Invitation 12/06/13 - 12/08/13

Absolute Blue Catches Fire

A hush fell over the audience as a hand reached into the oversized bowl filled with applicant's names. We all knew what was at stake. And when Don's name was read aloud we gasped at the horror that awaited him. He was Satellite Beach's tribute in the first annual Hungry Games and we watched as he disappeared into the holding tank fully aware of the exercise and lack of beer that awaited him. We knew that we may never see him, or at least all of him, ever again. The chant of The Odds Are Really Not That Bad rang out, but provided little solace for the tributes, who wholly realized their days of donuts and mochachino lattes were over.

We silently raised a single finger gesture to illustrate our opinion of the games and sometimes of Don himself. We would watch the proceedings religiously, whenever football wasn't on, seeing him diet beyond control, battling adversaries such as Cholesterol, Hypertension and Triglycerides. And just when he had seemingly vanquished his foes, the game keepers announced yet another twist and introduced new forces working against him: Gravity and Good Taste. Unable to continue, he inexplicably produced a Boston Cream Pie with ice cream and sprinkles. The entire stadium went silent as he cut a piece and served it up with a nice cappuccino. Suddenly a siren went off and Don was declared the winner without even consuming a single calorie.
