The Beavers Strike back at Regionals 2011

By Ken Burdick

Yes Folks, it’s true.

It’s back. Like the Orkin man says, Pest control ... not elimination.  What once was confined to the field of combat is beginning to spread.

The Beaver named Louie, (see Beavers and Bod Busters)http://www.flyinglines.org/bsct.dcc.rebut.html has been seen entering F2D proto Speed ... geeze, these Beavers have no limits!

The Combat Monster was pretty sure he had run off the Beavers from Combat until last year at the Bladder Grabber, when as if by magic, they showed up and won not only first, but second place as well!

To make matters worse, the Beaver named Louie entered F2D proto speed at the Regionals, a vestige of Bod Buster greatness. The first time, we thought he would be discouraged by his wing breaking off.

Disclaimer

(The BBB disavows  all knowledge of how this allegedly happened) In a press release by Freelance BBB press secretary Huevos Fritos: “The thing just snapped, like Sarah Palin in a runoff, it went broke like a Donald Trumpffff deal ... It fell off like a bad joke in a FireBalls meeting” 

  Further Humiliation

Yet somehow, the Beaver named Louie sojourned on to repair said speedy model and snatch 2nd place from The BBB’s Rein Man, by 2/100’s of a second! This somehow sounds fishy as Louie was the event director! We have once again aimed our lawyer, the Buzz Man, at this obvious miscarriage of justice. As of this morning, he was busy sharpening pencils, filing injunctions and a writ of habeas corpus (We’re not entirely sure what that is, but think it sounds cool).

Some may say this is sour grapes, but, we don’t eat grapes and I’m not sure what grapes have to do with it anyway.

If that isn’t bad enough, the Event director (recently renamed Gene Peppy, by the Rein man) won 1/2A combat snatching the victory away from our very own Buzz Man by the slimmest of margins. In a highly secret photo taken from the Bod Buster satellite, it would seem that Peppy has landed a blow to the otherwise docile Buzz Man causing him to lose the match.

What does it mean Kenny?

Is this a conspiracy? It’s possible. We have employed our Best, the head of security Dirty Dan, the Stunt Guru, to investigate all possibilities using the Internet and Wikipedia as the primary unimpeachable sources of non biased information ...

Here is what we have so far.

  1.  There has never before been an event director named Louie who has placed in F2D Proto.
  2. There has never before been an event director named Peppy who won 1/2A Combat!
  3. It might be possible, and the evidence may support this, that the Beavers have somehow been causing the rainy weather we had to endure last weekend. (It would be just like them to do that.)..

Coincidence? I think not...

Fortunately, the Rein Man single handedly invaded the Carrier event where Louie the Beaver has dominated with the Cro-Magnum carrier plane for over 20 years! Taking First and setting A WORLD RECORD, (yes, a world record). The Rein Man completely eliminated the Beaver dominance of this somewhat simplistic event. There were many Beaver supporters amongst the snarling and jeering crowd. Some were overheard to say, “That landing gear is too small.” He’ll never land with that hook.” "Why, he doesn’t even have a safety thong.”

Note:  The BBB will never wear a thong no matter what anyone says.

The Rein Man completed his stealthy high speed run, shifted into low and then nailed the ropes just like 28 years ago when he won the Nationals. As seen in this photo, while others are looking away, The Rein  Man stays focused.

The Bod Busters will settle all this Beaver hash at the Bladder Grabber in August. Bring on the Beavers and their little dog too!! ... No wait, we have the dog.

  What the future holds.

Rest assured, we will not let this aggression stand…..man.

 We will battle the Beavers high and low. We will battle them in the trenches of Snohomish, we’ll fight them in the swamps of Chehalis, we’ll tarnish their records in Eugene, we’ll rub them out in Roseburg, and pound them in Puyallup ...

So stay tuned, dear readers, right here on Flying Lines, to see whatd happens next with the Bod Busters and the Beavers at Bladder Grabber 2011.
