Well....?   HOW'D THE BOY DO!!!??  Who's legs does UP have to break if Count Strike-ula didn't win?

The Creeper

That is very cool and imaginative!  I love it!  And it makes a great Halloween decoration.  Did he win?
Long live the UMA!

Nope, he didn't even place. Why?? Were the winning pins simply spectacular?? Hell no. A bunch of stickers. They just picked the pins made by the littlest kids. Total crap.  If it wasn't going to be an actual contest, then why bother?

Jordan had competition from 2 other pins. One was a cool knight, the other was a Mr Potato Head pin. Those 2 and Jordan's were head and shoulders above anything else there, but not one was a winner. I despise PC garbage like that..........."Oh, we don't want anyone to feel bad or actually COMPETE, so we'll just choose the lowest common denominator lest anyone become marred by the tragedy of losing." And we wonder why we're raising a generation of pansies.

Well, Jordan worked hard on that pin. An honest loss I could handle, and you can teach a kid something about sportsmanship and the joy of competition for its own sake from that. All we learned from this is that some contests are rigged. Jackasses.

So sorry to hear, Scatter. I don't get this stuff either. When I was a kid and we played games with my parents, they actually *gasp* won sometimes! We learned to accept failure. I think it's an essential part of growing up. But I meet a ton of kids now (I work on a college campus) who seem to think everything is owed to them. I wonder why?

Fester

May I suggest a different approach?

The folks at Castle Scatter are looking at a great opportunity, here.   
Do you live in an area that has a county fair? 
How about a community arts festival?
Any local coffee houses, indie bookstores?

Get more pins and start creating.  Make bad-pun names-- Frankpinstein; Phantom of the Pinsetter;  Bowlis Karlof;  Creature  from the black gutter; and so forth.  Create a Universal Monster Army pin collection.  Enter it in arts/craft contests.  Find a venue that will display local arts and see if they will display them.

Success is the best revenge.

Err . . . Not that i'm advocating revenge.

Ok I am-- but in a good way!

You see the kid getting the shaft--I see the work of a talented and creative kid that could go far!

Oh, have no doubt, we are still going to complete our Universal Monster Army of bowling pins. I hadn't thought of entering them anywhere else, but that's not a bad idea either.

  I think Fester had a great idea!  Let Jordan experience what a REAL contest is like.
