The fourth annual Homebase dinner and dance was somewhat marred when a renegade band of B&Q workers, disguised as butlers, entered and attempted to assassinate the managing director by hurling a large onion at him. Despite the cunning of this fiendishness, a lackey of the managing director quick-thinkingly grabbed a rather stale baguette and was able to bat the onion away. The B&Q mob retreated in disgust. However, the following year they returned to try again, but fell to the same defence. Year after year they tried and failed, even after freezing the onion (which just led to the baguette being replaced with a table leg). Soon this annual fixture became more light-hearted as they realised they would never succeed; instead it became a sporting event associated with the annual dinner, "The Homebase Ball Game", later shortened to "baseball".
The colour most favoured by the staff of the Pontiff. Catholics referred to it as "the colour of the Pope's people," and over many years it became simply "purple."
Now, this game has been a slow-burner, and, since I created it and I've been criticising how slow games have become, it's time to practice what I preach. Scythe Time.
