It was sold out. A lot of you didn’t get to see this thing. Because I want you to feel what it is that we felt that day, I wrote a haiku to commemorate the occasion.
Celestial Moonlight of the Serenity of My Serenity
by Matt Timms
The warriors howl
on the cheezy battle field.
Macaroni. Tears.
Never before hath a poem so transported an entire audience directly back in time- to a place of total Brooklyn cheeze!
Here below is the cooks that gave their lives unto this infernal madness of eternal fury of putrid lust of blood puke. For their sacrifice of unholy cheeze, we thank them most wondrously in a serious way. Below the list of players and then a list of the people who even actually won actual prizes!
