[contest] Why should you be a character in Tourbillon?
I have decided to name a slightly dim-witted British Army lieutenant in Goa after one of my blog readers. Here in comments, leave a brief explanation of why you should be immortalized in Tourbillon. Around Tuesday I’ll make a poll out of the answers, and we’ll vote in the winner of this fabulous Tuckerization.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your comment engines.

Justin
October 11th, 2008 at 6:53 amMy name is Justin Andrew Jack and I should be immortalized in Tourbillon because of my history of slightly dim-witted decisions in Goa, which led to (among other things) my friend contracting Dengue Fever and to the both of us passing up a chance to head deep into the jungle to find a mystic who would “teach us the ways of the elephants.” I mean really. I had the chance to learn the ways of the elephants, and I didn’t go (plus my friend almost died)! That sounds exactly like the sort of thing that would happen to a dim-witted British Army officer.
