Ice Kubes don their ‘silly hats’

Kiama Kubes ‘Silly Hat Day’ attracted attention from wide circles with the guest judge, noted potter Alan Binns, feeling proud to join the frivolity of this competitive event and assess who wore the most flattering or offensive head-dress.

The three categories covered the Chips, Femmes and overall Silliest Hat with chips, Knocker and Boodalish tying for first.

Manly Lisa took out the distinctive female Silly Hat just beating Mother Superior and Bron No Win.

Appropriately Benedictus painted his toenails red and won the much sort-after big one, champion Silliest Hat.

Such behaviour models for the younger chips what is important to Kubes, not only enjoying the physical aspects of Kiama but the importance of having fun in sport.

Though having completed such idiocy and then swimming in the 11.4 degree Kubedome, all competitors were suitably anaesthetised by the cold to forget their parental obligations and ran around hugging and rubbing themselves against the nearest Kube to warm up.

Thus the Chips wandered lost amongst the cliffs avoiding the strange adults phoning OOO Dave for guidance. Fortunately the heats officiated by Benedictus (of course) with Schultz, Sci Fi, 0.3Kg Frank, Pope Paul, OBF Greg and Fruitbat, distracted the Chips who returned to the warmth of the soup.

With heads out of the water as the chosen style for all heats, the following competitors Benedictus, Coloneyes, Kurt, Munchenkinder, Mother Superior (short course winner) Smurf and Rusty leapt out holding their eyebrows after finishing the race as if in a cerebral discussion.

The final heat was completed in record time when Je te Aime, Fish, Tripple O Dave, St John, Boneyard and Bron No Win stepping on the ice blocks which had formed in the pool.

The final was for all those Kubes who failed to swim in the freezing Kangaroo River last week, such is the evil malevolence deeply hiding in the Kubes memory bank.

Kubes sat in happy reflection of last week’s AGM, enjoying Schultz’s and Munchenkinder’s Bavarian with kitchen waste, trying to recall anything.

Next week is the ‘clash of the codes’, so wear your favourite historic sporting apparel.
