Redneck Bar & Grill

     Blue Beaver beer recently sponsored The 1st Annual Amateur Lumberjack Competition.  People came from miles around to imbibe a Blue Beaver and meet Jasmine (the newest Blue Beaver Girl) and some of them actually stayed to watch the competition.
     One of the events was the log rolling contest, where two lumberjacks stood on either end of a log and tried to dislodge each other by rolling it.  This is very very fun and exciting when performed in the traditional way, in a pond.  However for the amateur competition it was done on dry land…so it lacked a certain something.
     Another unusual contest was the dam building event.  The lumberjacks released their own trained beavers, which would head for several nearby steams and build a dam.  The first beaver done would earn a victory for it’s owner; at least this was the plan on paper.  In reality, as soon as the beavers were let out they headed straight for the steams…and then swam away. None of them seemed to be the least bit interested in building anything.
     Overall it seemed that the Amateur Lumberjack Competition was in fact planned by amateurs.  Only three things saved the day from being a total waste of time.  The ample supply of Blue Beaver Beer, the ample Jasmine and the final event of the day, chainsaw juggling.
     The first contestant took the stage and started to do his thing.  He actually seemed semi-skilled but then all of a sudden he tossed the chainsaw a little extra high and when it came down he missed the catch and the saw impaled him.  This almost ended in tragedy but luck was on his side this day.  The organizers of the competition had enough foresight to have a couple medics on hand.  As well; the juggler was only using one saw…which wasn’t running…and it had no chain on it, just the bar where the chain belongs…and he missed all his vital organs.  He got stitched up and was back at the beer gardens in no time.
     And luckily for me I got a picture.
