Dun Dun DUN! (Dramatic music)

I have signed up to participate in Sock Wars III. It's kill or be killed. Or rather, knit or be killed by knitting.

This is from the official website:

Welcome to the original and bloodiest death-by-knitting tournament.

Sock Wars III kicks off on 9th May 2008 and will run until only one blood-soaked champion remains.

If you are brave enough, sign up to do battle. You will be emailed a top secret assassination dossier on 9th May 2008. This file contains the details of your target and an exclusive, never-been-published-before knitting pattern with which to assassinate them.

To kill your target you must knit them a pair of socks in the pattern (your "weapon") and mail it to them. Once your target receives your parcel they are dead and must post their death on the website.

They must also send you details of their intended target (who becomes your next person to assassinate) along with their unfinished knitting (which becomes your new weapon).

All the while this is going on, someone has been assigned YOU as their target!

Prepare to live in fear... kill or be killed!

So there you go. I've signed up for a death-by-socks assassination game. And it's worldwide. The fee to register on the site is $2 (I'm not sure why it costs, but I did it) and you get to pick your nom de guerre.

Mwah ha haaaa! (evil laugh)
