The Points Chicken




Well, I did watch Maryland beat Hofstra. Only I did it while wearing a chicken costume. This is a shot of a pilot called "Pointless" that, if it gets picked up for series, I will play "The Points Chicken" a chicken who steals the points of the contestants...a la the "Whammy" on Press Your Luck. I'll send video if it becomes available.

Paradise....Lost.

For a measly $5 on Mullet Bay in St Maarten, you can pick a hermit crab for a daily hermit crab race. We picked #17, "The Rocket," and prayed. Well, we must have prayed too slowly because we finished in 5th, missed out on the 1st prize of cash, the 2nd prize of rum, and a 3rd place prize of wine. You can here me yelling throughout. I wanted the rum and the honor of winning a race that was completely based on skill, only skill, and not at all based on the luck of picking which crab sought freedom the most. There's an important lesson learned in this video: Even if you lose, as long as you aren't the guy pictured above, you've won.
