The Wheel of Fur-tune Has Spoken.....

End of Week 3 and I think i've finally caught a bit of a break.  For my more sadistic blog-watchers, this one may not have the prolonged agony you were hoping for - but I'm sure the time for Bollywood will come....  

First, to explain the Selection Procedure for tonight.  Tonight sees the debut of the soon-to-be incredibly famous (and Patent Pending) Wheel of Fur-tune.  This ingenious invention operates on the simple (and usually incontrovertible) assumption that any item placed close enough to any ledge will prompt a Pavlovian feline impulse to bat said item off the table onto the floor.  Usually said items are either breakable, edible or tiny enough to become instantly invisible the moment it hits the floor, but in this case, the forfeits written on yellow Post-Its would form the substrate for their furry fumblings.  The first one to hit the floor would thus become my selected forfeit for my Week 3 failings.  

However, as all Eddie Izzard fans know - Pavlov's cat experiments were radically less successful than his canine endeavours.....

Here's how events unfolded (v....e.....r....y.....s....l.....o....w......l......y....) tonight.....

Mr & Mrs Potato Head give the Potato of Destiny and
 Despair a thorough mixing

Forfeits spill like evil confetti  on to the table

The PH's carefully arrange the forfeits to form the Wheel of Fur-tune
 (Patent Pending)

The Feline Forfeit Selection Engine is Introduced into the
Wheel of Fur-tune as the PH's watch anxiously in the background

Back-up Battery arrives.... 

But the selection process appears stalled before its even begun...

Nope.  Nothing but crickets going on between those ears....
....time for Plan B 

The Wheel of Fur-tune is quickly reconfigured into The Great Paw Draw 

Which finally sparks interest from the Feline Forfeit Selection Engine...

..until the temptation to knock one off the table
 proves too great and a forfeit is chosen... 

...and chased down and secured before it
 has a chance to escape

And is opened up to reveal....

SSTTPOI!  The forfeit that was (finally) selected by Izzie is*......

"Put Duck Tape on Your Arm and Rip It Off".  

This one comes courtesy of my evil genius 14 (soon to be 15) yr-old nephew, Thomas.   So...umm....yeah.... thanks for that.  That's going to be real fun to look forward too - especially sober!  But I need a leg wax, so just in the nick of time, I guess.  Perhaps to make it a bit more fun I should do the Duck Tape on the Duck Boat with the Duck Quack wearing a Donald Duck hat?  As painful as its going to be, its probably still less damaging to my overall physical well-being than an hour of BollocksWood.

Onwards and upwards to next week's Challenge.....  tomorrow will see some Very Important Rule Amendments to the Terms and Conditions of the Get Lean and Loopyliscous Challenge ..... stay tuned.....

* ps - there was a second forfeit that was very close behind this one to getting knocked off the table...  I couldn't resist peeking to "See What I Could Have Won".....

....and Ashley, I'm afraid your apartment will just have to wait its turn for another week!!
