Pre-Beetle Battle

As some of you will know tomorrow is the annual church Beetle night. You might be wondering what a beetle night is. Is it where everyone brings in their pet beetles? No it is not!!! It is the most-important church function of the year...behind maybe Easter (and perhaps Christmas). It is a chance for everyone to come and show off their speed-rolling skills and take home the glory of being crowned Canberra Baptist Church Beetle Champion (CBCBC for short). This is pretty important stuff.

For those who have been for the last few years will know that the winner is surprisingly almost always a member of the Jackson/Joyce clan. This isn't coincidence and someone in the family was heard saying once, "it is embarrasing how good we are"! In fact Penny and Al have both won quite a few times, and didn't fail to point out to me that I have never won...thanks. But we had a pre-beetle battle tonight and guess what. I won (no real surprises here). So when Penny or Al win tomorrow night I can claim to be the best by transitivity.

Speaking of winning, I might take this chance to set a few misconceptions about the Jackson cook-off in order. Firstly, I was not told of the judges criteria until after my meal had been eaten. Secondly, Mish was biased and I think she felt sorry for Penny after her "oh everyone thinks I am the worst cook (because you are) and I want to prove them wrong" drivel. And just to prove she is still the worst cook, tonight for her first meal since her victory, she decided she wouldn't make anything. That is until Al and I complained at 6pm and she eventually went to the shops and with Al's help, made tacos. I was making tacos when I was 14...thats my meal. Anyway I demand a re-cook-off!
