Week 8 BOC: The Adventure



I, Phileus Fogg, arrived in the shady country of Argentina when my hot air balloon broke over the frigid rocks of the Andes Mountains and I landed in the outskirts of the range next to a river.  My luck fell me upon the most beautiful seƱorita…legs as long as Argentina, skin as soft as a pillow made of clouds, and a voice that made my heart voluntarily contract.  She came to my aid and fed me water, but she had three brothers…more like giants!  Now these brothers didn’t find any man good enough for their sister, especially a white man!  They attacked me with a claymore, a tree log, and a modified recliner with a large wood attached to it!  Luckily, I got a few cheap shots in before they could break my knees.  I ran…for hours!  The injuries had done their damage – two broken fingers, concussed, a bruised quadricep, and minor blindness from when they tried to burn my eyes.  I ran to the first hiding spot I saw – a cargo ship. I quickly piled a bunch of old bus tires around me to hide.  Exhausted, I fell asleep.

The aroma of the richest, sizzling beef struck my nostrils awake.  The seamen were barbequing the most delicious and rich smell I have ever had massage my nasal senses…but it should have been to no surprise, as the Argentinians are some of the world’s prominent and considerable beef consumers.  After the seamen passed out from eating and drinking, I had to have a sample of their barbeque.  I sneaked over to the barbeque holding my breath and shoeless so I would make no noise, grabbed a bag of genuine steak rub and canister of aji molido, a premier Argentinian spice before diving into the frozen water and swimming to safety to the sound of gun shots from the seamen.
