I knew I should have entered as "Disagreeable Object"

"It is a terminally corrupt, commercialised gladiatorial spectacle, designed to disempower the masses by crushing the sense of participation!" we said. So there was general assent and loud 'Huzzahs!' when Evangeline van Holsterin, head barmaid at the Old Entomologist, announced an Alternative Olympics to be held in the Tagmosis Bar. "Events should be chosen as genuine contests of athletic excellence, not according to the convenience of sponsors and entertainment corporations!" we said. "I do not hold with wasabi peas as a bar snack," said Another Kiwi, "they are too easy to get stuck up the nose."

It is not clear whose idea it was to make "Modelling for a Giacometti Sculpture" into the keynote event. Suspicion turns to Evangeline's idiot boyfriend. Predictably enough, everyone chose to enter as "Holding the Void (Invisible Object)".


Invisible Puppet-Show
I'm sure I would have scored better if someone had informed me that the judges were awarding points for the costume.
