FMW AMAZING RACE - ROUND 4 - U.S.A.

Round 4, our penultimate round, will be going up tomorrow as a birthday present from me to all of you.

Our remaining 3 teams are:

Team Slippery When Buttered
Team Procrastination
Team B.E.E.R.

From the last round Team Slippery When Buttered has nominated Team Procrastination to receive the extra puzzle to be completed.

The extra puzzle will be sent to you guys once you finish the first challenge. You will need to complete it before you get the final challenge.

That is all.

BRING. IT. ON.

PX and Eastwood are sat in an Irish pub in the United States of America (because that's where the next round is, dick'ead) having a couple of pints of the black stuff... each. On television, Abel Steele's face appears, announcing the next round. PX turns to Jack and grins.

PX: Are you ready?

Eastwood: Yeah.

PX: No. I said - ARE YOU-

Eastwood: If you complete that sentence, I'm gonna have to mutilate you.

PX: Fair enough. How did we end up in the semi-final, anyway?

Eastwood: God knows, I've been drunk for most of it, and I was in bloody Africa for the last round and yet we still got through on the skin of our teeth.

PX: I'm carrying this team, clearly.

Eastwood: Piss off, shortstack, I'm the one who kicked arse with the Aussie questions.

PX: You suck with things that you can't find on Wikipedia though.

Eastwood: True. Still, I bring the publicly-edited encyclopedia...

PX: And I bring the important bit.

Eastwood: Prick.

PX: Uh-huh. Your round, or mine?

Eastwood: Mine.

He gets up, buys four pints and brings them back to the table, setting them down.

PX: To Team B.E.E.R..

Eastwood: Indeed.

PX: So... the USA, huh?

Eastwood: You know what I don't get? Why American wrestling fans chant 'U-S-A' whenever blokes like us are in the ring. We're not thick. We don't need to be reminded we're in the fucking country.

PX: National pride, and all that, I suppose.

Eastwood: Well yeah, but you don't get English fans saying 'En-ger-land', do you?

PX: Fair point.

Eastwood: Anyway, drink up, we've got a taxi to catch.

PX: Where to?

Eastwood: Who cares, I'm pissed.

PX: Lightweight Englishman.

Eastwood: Arsehole ginger Irishman.

PX: That's my brother, man!

Eastwood: Oh yeah.

This second challenge sucks. Fuck you.

Love, everybody.

C'mon

I had to throw something a little challenging in there. All the rest were getting solved within 30 minutes.

Challenging? This is madness!

And if the next person replies with something regarding Sparta they're getting banned really fucking quickly.

MADNESS?!?!

THIS!

IS!

AMAZING RACING!

ROUND 4 is complete.

Well done to the round winners who were, once again, Slippery When Buttered. This time the dominant team of this competition only edging Team Procrastination by about 30 seconds in our closest finish yet.

As the next round will be our final round there will be no handicap. Just a straight up dash for the cash (or FMPs as it were)

Bad luck to Team B.E.E.R who perhaps spent a little too long drinking beer on their visit to the US? Well done on coming in 3rd place overall though.

Our last round will be a compilation of all the types of puzzles we have had so far:

Word puzzles
Trivia Quiz
Math puzzles
Logic Puzzles

Keep an eye out for it. Hopefully not as big a gap between rounds this time (no promises - work is nutz right now).

Beer? I blame the jetlag, by which I mean the time difference.

Also the beer.

Congrats to the two finalists though, and sorry to PX for not getting our answers in quicker.

It's alright mate. I wasn't at home to get much of a look at these, but they were pretty tough anyway. Ah well.

So are we going to make a Finale of this soon?

Yes we are. As soon as I get my promo out the way I will be running the last leg.

*Thread Bump*

Winner by Countout...

Slippery When Buttered.

Team Procrastination would protest, but we're too busy napping instead of protesting.

This.

So... since Abel hasn't posted in here in more than a month, and has posted a couple promos since he said he'd update after his promo, I have a proposition for Sleg, Nick2, and Leon.

We call this a draw, and split the prize.

Winners:
Team Would Be Slippery if We Weren't Too Busy Being Lazy To Butter It?

That team name is indeed the greatest ever seen in the world.

I don't know why but he said the winners get 4 FMPs to share...so that will be one each for all we did.

At least Survivor had 10 FMPs to the winner.

So what do we want out of this... Cause 1 FMP each is although ok, it is a small prize for a large amount of effort.

I'll take Sleg's too since he won't be using it since he's on leave.

Right Sleg?

Just thought I'd let you guys know that as far as FMP's go, I don't think Bryson is actually giving them out or accepting them for shots anymore.

In other words, FMPs don't really do anything now.

Well that sucks I guess.
