AND IT HAS HAPPENED!
unfortunately/sadly/madly, the pretty amazing/amazingly pretty banner (see previous posts) didn't have enough wind-gaps/gave up/whatever.

the victim was discovered early this evening by our roving reporter who happened to be passing by. the victim was hanging limply on one pole, wrinkled and creased. in a bid to find out exactly what happened, our reporter scoured the crime scene for bits of evidence that would prove useful in finding out the cause of its premature death.

my observations were that...
#1: the victim was found bundled neatly in a heap to one side of the fence
#2: the victim could still be resuscitated (i.e. time of death = not long ago)
#3: the victim was hanging on one pole instead of two BUT pole was thick.
#4: pole was snapped! (i.e. sumo wrestler came along and broke it in an act of rebellion.)
#5: there was no sign of bleeding or wounds from physical attacks (apart from the stick)

and so, i think...
the sumo wrestler was passing church today and decided he'd like to come for camp as the victim was too attractive. he ran up the slope to get a closer look and realized that there were NO DETAILS of how to register! he was so angry accidentally snapped one of the poles (yes the pole is thick but he IS a sumo wrestler!) the victim was hanging on. when the victim flopped to the floor, the guilt-ridden sumo wrestler decided to honour his unintentional victim with a proper sumo burial, by bundling the victim neatly in a heap to the side of the fence.

and there we have it.

so if your friends ask you WHY THE BANNER IS NOT AROUND you know what to do (:
