A few days later with the paste safely dry we took out our body shapes and entered a crucial stage. Some of the women were already attaching legs. Leslie had something that was beginning to resemble a camel, but I knew that those legs would never hold. She had constructed them from rolled up newspaper. You know what I mean.
Legs are very important.
I certainly have heard the expression in sports, that the knees are the first to go. And we had lost both Keyvan Jenkins and Mervyn Fernandes to the Grey Cup with leg injuries. I guess I knew things about legs that the women didn't. Elizabeth dropped out of the contest by having her sheep lie down. No leg problem there, but no challenge either.
