LET'S GO BACK TO MO WITH THE LEADERBOARD

(post to come)

ROUND 5: PIE FACE

Fall is synonymous with the harvest. It marks the last ditched effort to reap the bounty of the land before the bleak brutal chill of winter settles in. During this period the pie makes the gastronomical parade in windowsills and upon tabletops across this country. Haunting smells of roasting pumpkin, crisp apples, and earthy cinnamon hang in kitchens. It’s the unequivocal vessel of autumn. The pie is familiar ground to the COBSE and it tread in its arena once again in the form of a pie eating competition, a staple of state fairs and Midwestern family reunions.

ROUND 4: JACKO MY LANTERN

If spring and summer are ripe with fruit then autumn is the time when humble roots and hearty gourds reign supreme. Their crooked noses, warts and stem make these gnarled vegetables seem empathetically homely. Forlorn, funny-looking, they want to be used which like the nerdy girl who sat two rows behind you in Mrs. Regan’s AP English class. The pumpkin rises above all else as the epitome of autumn’s splendor. Its seductive allure can inspire manic acts. Thus brings us to the next challenge… pumpkin carving.

How We Played
Each contestant was supplied with a pumpkin and a knife.  The rest basically explains itself.

First: Bryan
Second: Drew

ROUND 3: IN SODA WE CHUG

Oddly enough soft drinks trace their roots back in history to natural mineral springs. Bubbling forth with their rejuvenating effervescence these waters were thought by ancient societies to cure many diseases. Well the only thing these antiquated anodynes are curing is thirst and that’s brisk baby! The race for type 2 diabetes is on.

How We Played
First contestant to finish their liter of soda won.

First: Sarah

* We at COBSE realize that soda has no relation to fall but nothing is more breathtaking than chugging copious amounts of the fizzy stuff as fast as you possible can.
