Team Commando wins 3-2

Ann Smith: The Breakfast Club VS. Commando- Commando wins!!!!!

Cutter Hutton: Commando wins.

Paolo Rivera: The Breakfast Club — coffee and donuts can’t be beat… especially when pulling all-nighters.

Scott Campbell: 1st place battle winner, The Breakfast Club. I think the Breakfast Club’s combined forces would really be pretty powerful and hard to deal with. Flying donut dude would be flapping around all crazy and distracting like. But those Commandos would be able to fight well as they are hiding in the brush. All quite like in the green shrubery. Taking shots from the shrubbery.

Willie Real: Commando!

Congratulations to all!

3rd Place: The Reigning Cats and Dogs – Crazy Cat Lady, by Megan Pepin and Macaroni Dog, by Waka Tokuno

4th Place: Bear To Honey

4th Place: Bear To Honey – Queen Bee, by Mori Clark and Dead-e Thread Bear, by Laura Tarabolski

Team The Reigning Cats and Dogs wins 4-1

Ann Smith: The reigning cats and dogs win!!!

Cutter Hutton: Winners, “The Reigning Cats and Dogs”.

Paolo Rivera: Bear to Honey — they make a great team… but really, it comes down to Macaroni dog being too gross to ponder.

Scott Campbell: Winner, Reigning cats and dogs. That macaroni dog is nuts. Cheese just flowing everywhere. What is interesting though is that you would have two yellow substances all over the place with the cheese and honey. Bear looks like the thread and stuffing might be poisoned, but I feel Queen Bee would be providing all kinds of honey webs. And i love those cats of various sizes. They probably all do a lot of scheming while they are curled up in near the heater.

Willie Real: The Reigning Cats and Dogs win.

2011 King of the ILL Semi-finals Results

Commando WINS

Semi-final 1: Commando WINS 3-2

AS: Commando wins!

CH: Macaroni Dog put its talents to use in a defensive gauntlet, laying down a slime that stuck the Triceratank in its tracks, all the while passing The Ranger’s arrows through its pasta shaped gullet. Crazy Cat Lady took care of offense, using her fierce felines to claw the immobilized triceratank’s soulless eyes out. The kitty swarm then covered the Ranger’s elvish cloak in a nasty blanket of hair and hair balls, completely extinguishing the magic powers. Revolted, the ranger fled to the hills for a lint brush and a horn of grog.

PR: Commando wins —I’m dying to know what’s inside the Triceratank. Is it a tank crew of Triceratops?

WR: Commando over Reigning Cats. This one was close! I love both styles but in the end
Commando is still my personal favorite.

The Breakfast Club WINS

Semi-final 1: The Breakfast Club WINS 3-2

AS: Breakfast club wins!

CH: Bear To Honey cuddles the Breakfast Club to defeat. Proving that sticky sweet bear stuffing is hazardous to ones health, Queen Bee and Dead-e Thread Bear pulled a true tag team by immobilizing the Breakfast Club in a hail of honey covered polyester filling. Despite a caffeine fueled fist pumping, Brew Master was helplessly stuck and Devil Donuts sugary treats were disarmed by Queen Bee’s swarm of bit-o-honeys.

PR: The Breakfast Club wins —These two just go together. And I like how Brew Master is partial to one side side of his body.

WR: Bear to Honey over the Breakfast Club. I love devil donut but thought the combo between the queen bee and dead-e thread bear was stronger.
