Story of the Week: Micro Man

Greetings! This week's story is about the Micro Man competition, the last and most difficult of all the events in the Balcum Triathlon!
I'll explain it right now: First to set up this event you need a working microwave. We reccomend one with a high power setting... Next you will need to bypass the door locking mechanism, or just take the whole door off. That's all for the set up of this event. Now it's time for you to bring up your contenders. They need to place their head in the open microwave, hands touching the counter. Then when they are ready to go, you turn the microwave to 5 seconds on high power. Basically the rules are, whoever can last with their head in the microwave the longest, wins! The longest recorded time for Micro Man is 3.67 seconds, and whoever can last for five seconds would be crowned the Ultimate Micro Man! However, no one has been able to beat this time in all Balcum Triathlon history! Do you think you could take on the challenge?? Well let us know! Send us an e-mail! Do you have any ideas for future Triathlon, Decathalon, or whatever-thon challenges?!?! Shoot over an e-mail to ssssss@charterinternet.com (that's 6 S's by the way) and let us know what you think!

Story of the Week: The Second Installment of 'The Man in the Washer'

Hello People of the blogging world! We are proud to give you the second installment of 'the man in the washer'.
So as you remember, this man did not give us a phone number, or any way to contact him. We later received this message from him.
"Hullo Balcums, I just wanted to let you know I finally got out of my washer, I'm a little shaken, but I'm just fine...I uh..It was pretty miraculous how I did escape I suppose I'll tell you how I got out of there. Oh and sorry I didn't leave my phone number, I was pretty scared. Anyway, I knew my washer had an air tight seal, so I didn't have much time at all to get out. I had the kids turn the washer on spin cycle first to let some air in. That didn't do anything except make me dizzy. So then I decided to locate where the water pump was, and I stuck my nose in it at first to get some air! Then ( I didn't know these pumps were so flexible)! I put my whole face in there! I thought there was no way I can get out now, my face is stuck in a pump...So I sucked my gut, pushed with all my might and POP! I was outta there! I came up the drain in the sink and wow, heh, you should have seen the look on my kid's face after that!"
Pretty spectacular, eh?
Thus concludes our second instalment about the man in the washer. Please check in next week for our third installment, or maybe even a new story! Have a Happy Monday!
