[RCSE] Junkyard Wars re-re-re-cast part 2: the sequel

[robert k scott]

Well I agree with the bs-removal aspect- however I've found something to add while ALSO tacking on some extra relevance value (took some thinking believe me):   One of the other competiton game shows happening is Iron Chef- and they have the little quirk of the mystery ingredient they always throw in- the point being they dont get a full choice of materials, or a supermarketful, they get basic stuff and this odd whatever (like eel or something).   So how about this one:   Teams meet at the crackodawn at a good reliable soaring slope (I'm sure there's one- its a big planet)- and get identical sets of a few standard things- a hitec singlestick, tape, foamy foam, horns etc- and a DIABOLICAL MYSTERY ITEM that _must_ be built into the plane.   It would be like a cross between the Pink Floyd races and Iron Chef... and right off the bat someone would suggest making the mystery item be a plastic lawn flamingo head... ...sigh...     -robert is up too late again
