Amazing Race Season 2 - Checkpoint 4

Postby Godly Paladin » Mon Nov 22, 2004 3:18 pm

I should clear up exactly what happened before we move on.

1) I posted the checkpoint with the incorrect number... I said 2 instead of 3.
2) I then posted a new thread with the correct number in order to prevent confusion as to there being 2 threads with the same number.
3) Before I could, however, Mangafanatic and ZiP checked in on the old thread.
4) In a careless decision I said that they would have to check in again.
5) Mangafanatic never checked in.

Confusing? Good.

BOTTOM LINE: All racers that were active in the last round advance to this one.

*************

AND THE NEXT COUNTRY IS... *drumroll* China!!!

You know the routine. Post fast, get going, and all that. :jump:

As usual, when we fight fair, Termyt, I prevail. ;)
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Curses. Once again undone by the fact I'm mostly on in the morning and everyone else is on at night!

I must yield to fair Osaka. Ever lovely and gracious in victory.

Oh, I ain't touchin' this one. I'll let the judges sort it out. ;)

And to Termyt, you have been a formitable foe.

Thanks. I felt, that after our bid for world domination, you were in need of a worthy and honorable nemesis. I felt I was well suited to that end.
