Best Blend of 2023: An Elimination Game

[AcesAndEights]

Peggy-sues minus deuce

Gotta thin the herd a bit. And Pegasus is the equivalent of a gazelle with a limp on the Serengeti at this point.

 

[Bbailey324]

Sure I'll play along. Pegasus -2.

 

[Duck]

Sure I'll play along. Pegasus -2.

Pegasus -2

By my reckoning, that kills the winged horse.

In short, Cornell & Diehl blends are performing about as well as a pack of winded fat fellas in an uphill foot race.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Whoever the idiot is running this game, he's allowed voters to cast double-positives and now we're seeing several blends crossing the 20-hit point threshold. Even still, From Beyond has been sent to meet its maker, and by that, I'm not necessarily referring to Jeremy Reeves. This is the third C&D blend to fall in battle and only two of their creations remain. Once so high and lofty, Pegasus now finds himself alarmingly at risk. If this game is an all-out drunken barroom brawl, Oriental Silk is cowering on wobbly knees beneath a table, trying not to piss himself, and praying nobody notices his presence. In short, Cornell & Diehl blends are performing about as well as a pack of winded fat fellas in an uphill foot race.

Oriental Silk +2

Not if people vote more - than +. But who cares it’s different and interesting.

From now on I'm sad-emojiing every +2 to see if it combats inflation

The Federal Reserve might do well to take a page out of your book in its own fight "against" inflation...

I can see the news headlines now: "Powell sad-emojis Fed policy critics in scathing new social media strategy!"
