Gagner Ces Magnifiques Médailles


Gagner ces magnifiques médailles (Win these wonderful medals).
The word has gotten back from somewhere in France that the Marjorie 2 is equipped with not one, but two sets of boules. Even better, our captain knows the rules. So you'd better start practicing since the first annual BYSAP Petanque Tournament is officially on like Donkey Kong.

And what's a tournament without prizes and bragging rights? Just like the Olympics, there will be a gold, silver and bronze medal on the line for the best and most petanquishly gifted among us.

I've also arranged for much less beautiful "loser" medals, made of zinc or tin or aluminum or some other cheap metalish material. They are for those of us whose talents lie in other arenas of endeavor. Think of these as akin to the medals given to all the participants in the Special Olympics, no matter how they do in the competition.

Win or lose, we'll all get to proudly wear our medals to dinner one night. That should make a fun picture or two.
