Okay, I would have done this anyway (I've competed in every ACSLNE event to date), but this year it was for "Cluck."


I'll fill in more detail later, once the official ACSLNE website goes live, but since we were covered by NHPR last night I think it's okay to give a bit more of a teaser (you can hear the NHPR story here, and see a video here). So, for now here are some pictures, starting with the founder of the ACSLNE, in a photo that sums up everything that the league stands for: Courage; Fire; Honor!

This was my combat suit, the Mega Robo Pyro Chicken. It was a crowd pleaser, and got me 15 minutes of fame on the front page of the Keene Sentinel. Neither the Sentinel nor NHPR mentioned the method to my madness, which was to promote "Cluck," but that's okay: 15 minutes is still 15 minutes.

This was my first of three opponents, and also the new 2008 ACSLNE champion, piloting under the team name "Wonder boy." Notice the size of that round? I constantly hear people say, "meh, I shoot bottle rockets at my friends all the time." Well, take another look, 'cuz that ain't a bottle rocket. The other thing I constantly hear people say is, "you're one crazy, stupid, suicidal son of a bitch," and well, okay, you've got me with that one.
More on the sport can be found at the ACSLNE official site (coming soon)!
