THE 2010 GRABBY AWARDS

The Graboid is a regular fearture of CHUD, a game played between us and the Chewers, where we “grab” a still from a movie and invite the readers to try to guess from which film it came.  It has both its regular (i.e. rabid) and its casual players as well.  We keep track of who has amassed the most successful guesses and we compile them for this year-end tally below.  Yesterday, we completed the year-long competition with a massive grabfest called Armagrabbon.  It was a Christmas filled with triumph, heartache, and giant worms adorning Chewers’ trophy cases.  The results from the year of Graboid are below.   

THE ONCE AND FUTURE GRAND POOBAH:
Walter proved once again why he is the undisputed king of killing giant worms with 52 total.  Last year’s champion as well, he had some serious competition from an upstart, some new cat from Arizona who goes by the handle, Teitr Styrr.  Teitr ruled the competition for most of the year.  In fact, going into Armagrabbon, Teitr was looking at snatching the title for himself.  But when the chips were down, the Poobah came on like a force of nature and bagged a ridiculous 22 worm carcasses.  This Brit kept not only a stiff upper lip, but other things stiff we don’t even want to think about. 

In the midst of such a dominant and reaffirming victory, only the words of Churchill seem sufficient: “Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, ‘This was their finest hour’.” 

Sir Walter, we salute you.
