1. Trivia (3 TPE)
Verification word: Grease 7. Milestones (3 TPE) Milestones +3 18. Procrastinator (2 TPE) I don't know if anyone can really say that they were surprised with the outcome of the playoffs since the President's Trophy winning Atlanta Inferno also lifted the Challenge Cup. What I was surprised about, however, and pleasantly so, was how far Seattle made it. They took down the top three teams in the West, including a sweep of the Panthers, to make the finals as the 5th place Western team, and even gave Atlanta a run for their money. Even though they beat my team, they were a very fun team to watch and easy to root for. For all my gripes with FHM 8, it's refreshing to see that upsets and Cinderella runs are now possible as it makes the league that much more fun and unpredictable. 20. Jumble (3 TPE) For the Chicago Syndicate, our new team name will be the Chicago Sad Nicety. This is a pretty accurate way to describe us, since everyone in the locker room is just a little bit subtly sad, just a little Easter egg that if you join us you'll find it brings us all together as a team. For the Quebec City Citadelles, our new team name will be the Quebec City Castle Deli. That's right, we're converting the Citadelle into a massive meat shop, so get it fresh here today. We have all the basics, and on top of that we also specialize in mutton from the finest rams in Death Valley, venison from the finest elk in Saskatchewan, and some of the largest cuts of calamari you'll ever find from the Atlantic Ocean, just off the southeastern coast of the United States. We also carried muktuk from the Pacific Ocean, just off the southern coast of British Columbia, but that has been discontinued for animal conservation reasons. 21. Treasure (3 TPE) The greatest treasure of the Chicago Syndicate has actually been hiding in plain sight this whole time. For a little backstory, we all know the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, but few know that this story is true, and even fewer know that after this giant beanstalk was cut down, one magic bean still remained. For years, this bean would pass hands for great treasures but nobody ever dared plant it in the ground out of fear that they would draw the ire of the great titans above. Eventually this bean fell into the hands of perhaps the most infamous man in Chicago's history, none other than legendary mob boss Al Capone, lesser known as the founder of the SHL's Chicago Syndicate. For years the Chicago Outfit held this bean as a threat towards the government, that if they ever interfered too much it would be planted in the heart of Chicago and the city would be overrun by giants. Eventually, as times changed and the crime family's grip on the city loosened, they decided to once and for all bury the hatchet (but thankfully not the bean). In a symbolic gesture, and to ensure that nobody could ever sneakily take it, the Outfit encased the bean in 2500 cubic metres of concrete, plated it in stainless steel, and placed it in the centre of the city that they once ran. This monument is of course now known as Cloud Gate, a tongue and cheek name inspired by the conspiracy theorists who have known all along that the titans still exist in the heavens, and we should be glad that they can't come down to earth as they nearly did once before, for it would spell the end of humanity as we know it. 23. Dreams (2 TPE) On a maybe too real note, the one thing that would solve the most problems I have in life right now would be a job that doesn't make me hate waking up in the morning. Unfortunately I've never had a job like that and I wouldn't know how to go about finding it, but I have to hold out hope that it's out there and I can figure out how to get there. Other than that, I hope that the world, especially people with power, can find more compassion in their hearts, as this would go a long way in making it a better place for all of us to live. 3+3+2+3+3+2=16 |
