Hello, hello!
Saskatoon is throwing down the gauntlet and challenging Montana to a Word War. We have several unique awards that will be given out at the end of November, but I will allow James to do the honours for that, later on in this thread. (That's your cue, James!)
In addition to the regions going up against each other, I am hereby challenging the MLs of Montana, Kay Erickson and Julie., to individual word wars. We can watch the regional progress in our regional headers; we can watch me kick the other MLs' butts in this post. ;)
Let the taunting begin!
Current Status:
**This thread is posted in both the Saskatoon forum and the Montana forum. Through the magic of this post, people from one region may easily taunt people from the other region without needing to affiliate with the enemy. How's that for snazzy?**

Hi! I’m James, Saskatchewan’s (self-appointed) International Ambassador. Welcome to the 2009 Incredible International Challenge. Thanks for throwing down the gauntlet, Karalianne.
In keeping with ancient traditions from times long forgotten (2003), participating regions contend for five awards.*
Bonus awards! (introduced in 2008)*
Have a fun, productive November!
Sincerely,
James
The fine print:
* Award winners will be announced in early December. Bonus awards will be awarded unless I don’t feel like it, or procrastinate, or can’t find all the numbers necessary to complete the calculations**.
** The results are not audited. Therefore, I can cheat*** with impunity when calculating them.
*** Don't worry. I won`t cheat****.
**** But I could if I wanted to. Mwa ha ha ha.

I don't know about that, you guys. We may be small, but we are mighty here in Saskatoon!
I have every confidence in my writers!

We're sending guinea pig commandos to Melbourne. What should we send to Montana?

I think they're threatening our democracy by sending the Tudors! :) There's a very good reason for the American Revolution...

Illiterate?? At what point did a British commonwealth forget their heritage?

"Tutors" are very different from the "Tudors." Hence my concern for your inability to read...!

Oh I can READ! I was just making sure you could. ;) And y'all didn't win the War of 1812; it ended in a treaty. Neither side won.

That's the point of taunting: to be as immature as possible.
Speaking of immaturity... I notice you also cannot spell worth beans.
Saskatoon, Montana is sorely in need of people who can spell AND read!

Try carrying on a verbal conversation and a text conversation at the same time. It tends to cut into the self-editing. But you're right, I do have a spelling handicap.

Which I guess just helps to level the playing field. Lucky for you all.

If they don't cramp up while swimming, I don't think writer's cramp will be a problem.
