What type of "evil things"  have you prepared for us for this Saturday Jackalope?

Saturday's match was put together by Trapper John as a tribute to John Wayne and the movie, "El Dorado".

I don't think there is anything particularly nefarious about this match, but it would be awesome if Mongo would recite the poem by Edgar Allen Poe.

Eldorado

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old-
This knight so bold-
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"

Edgar Allen Poe, 1849

Just wondering if we are going to have a tin star with a drunk pinned on it.  :o

That would be a very appropriate poem for Saturday and I am a Poe fan.

Maybe we'll get to throw knives like James Caan.  If I remember correctly, they also gave Mississippi a "scattergun", because he couldn't hit anything with a handgun.
