Today is PayDay!
Yes. Finally. This is the day all Groundhog's have been waiting for: The 4th Annual Groundhog Day Big Ass Chili Cookoff!
I've had to do a little research and a bit of investigating reporting to round out the field of contestants. At our inaugural GDBACC, we had the honour of having two of Brockville's most visible "personalities" amongst our judging panel: Steve and Deanna Clark. Ever since that day, they have begged and pleaded, bribed and blackmailed, and most recently - just plain put up a great big 'huff' whenever I saw them. So - along with the rest of you who were invited to join us, they received special invitations as well as several follow up phone calls and emails.
Yesterday's 9am phone call:
Mark: Put me through to "Deeny Clark"
Reception: Deanna?
Mark: Whoever.
sfx: ring
Deanna: Sports.
Mark: Are you coming or not?
Deanna: I replied to your message. I'm coming. I've very busy right now. I'm on DEADLINE!!!
Mark: Cool. I'll put you down for coming. And I'll name your chili for you. See ya.
Deanna: I'm on DEADLINE!!!
Mark: I got that. Good bye.
So. With that. We have our fifth entry into the race.
Deanna Clark with her very busy concoction: "Deadline Chili". I look forward to smelling it soon.
In the wait-and-see category: First Edition Cookoff Winner, Mr. Pete Atkinson - He no sure. After suffering back to back loses since his narrow and contested victory (he used liquid smoke, now a banned substance) he's pretty much a chili cripple now. If he does show up (and we hope that he does) I'll have a special spot for his "Gimp Chili". Kent Swirsky, three time contestant and fellow looser, has failed to even acknowledge this contest's existence. I suspect that he's now anti-chili and is staging a silent protest to bring focus on the cruelty of this ritualistic barbarianism that is basically boiling HUMAN KIDNEY BEANS!!! Hey, word to Kent - they aren't from humans. They aren't even kidneys. They are simply a bean. They are meant to be eaten! Deal with it ding-dong!
Well - I've just put the finishing touches on this year's masterpiece and I've named it: "Chili From the Gonk". Sing along to it to the tune of "Jenny from the Block". Have a bowl or two and you'll get what I'm talking about.
See you all and your smelly chilis soon!

Okay - finally - you are asking yourself, "What about you, Mark Oliver, what are you doing this year that is going to blow our minds?!"
Well - I've just put the finishing touches on this year's masterpiece and I've named it: "Chili From the Gonk". Sing along to it to the tune of "Jenny from the Block". Have a bowl or two and you'll get what I'm talking about.
