NOTE FROM BRIAN:
In Black & White: Creature Isle, your giant
creature competes in 20 events to win the heart of

would make for better television than Curling.

The Top 9 Differences if the
Olympics Were Held on Creature Isle
Olympics Were Held on Creature Isle
9> The winner gets a gold medal, the loser gets eaten by an eighty ton mandrill.
8> Giant Otter wins the single luge competition — with no sled.
7> Every damn time you’re about to cross the finish line this really big red hand picks you up and throws you back to the starting line.
6> No more of this gold/silver/bronze stuff — awards are now banana/fresh leaves/cracker.
5> Platform diving finally recognizes the “elephant cannonball” as a valid effort.
4> All concession stands in Olympic Village are owned & operated by Ralston Purina.
3> With a prize like Eve, the flags at the awards ceremony won’t be the only things raised.
2> Judges don’t deduct tenths-of-a-point; they throw flaming feces at your performance area.
and the Number 1 Difference if the Olympics Were Held on Creature
Isle…
Isle…
1> Okay, no problem with the smart-alecky cow, the kindly monkey, or the crafty tortoise, but was the hair-trigger skunk really necessary?
