Hi, it's Lainie and Janie back to bring you the results of the Scrubber-Town Easter colouring and art competitions. There were tons of entries as you might imagine; some of which couldn't be displayed in the admin office and that's saying something for Scrubber-Town, where just about anything goes. The under-tens colouring-in competition was won by a kid called Dwayne Duncan, who lives in Dark Park, but who'd been holidaying with his parents and sister at the Around The World Resort, a few weeks before Easter. However, it rained all week and the kids couldn't go outside, so were totally out of control with fighting, pinching and punching. Parents as usual consoled themselves at the bar. Jimbo and Dr Ina gave the kids each a competition picture to colour in, which Janie and I think was a bit lame, but the results were an eye-opener. Most of the kids added drawings of their own to the Easter-Bunny-with-Eggs picture. 

There were flying saucers, werewolves, aliens, zombies, rockets and fighter jets dropping missiles onto exploding eggs. Anyway, Dwayne drew all over his too, cos Dr Ina saw him, as she was helping to supervise. However, when the winner was announced as D.Duncan, it was for a much tidier, prettier picture and yet Dwayne came to pick up the prize with his mum. His mum apparently was over the moon with pride and said: 

   'I can't believe you did that all on your own, Dwayne. What a clever boy. Of course Dianne will be disappointed that she didn't win, but we'll share the prize with her, won't we?'

'Yeah', said Dwayne, looking at the ground and scuffing his shoes. Skye Frye told us his face went red. She's pretty sure he entered his sister's picture and took credit for it. We wonder what happened when his mum found out the truth?  We think he's a cheeky little shit, cos back at school, he was overheard bragging about the basket of Easter-eggs he'd won and that he only gave his sister one and that was a mini. Janie and I reckon he'll turn into a scammer when he grows up.

The award for the over-tens was given to Shelley Shaw, one of the Spite-Club members and Shane Shaw's sister. Shane Shaw is a sign-writer, but he's dyslexic and keeps writing the wrong words, cos he gets confused with letters. He works for the Dark Park Council, but councillor Rob Hobbs can't fire him, because of his disability. Rob Hobbs usually has to get someone to go over Shane's work afterwards and nearly tears his hair out. Shane has a real do-gooder social worker Corinne, who's always calling in to the Dark Park council to make sure they're doing the right thing by him. She often butts heads with Rob, who hates her. He says she's on another planet. Corinne was the one who organised the job for him in the first place. Even we can't figure what why she thought he could do that job. Hello! He muddles his letters!

Anyway, Shelley's entry this year was titled Psycho Bunnies Janie and I think it's too much like her entry from last year, which you might or might not remember, portrayed a Multiple Personality Bunny and was presented on a big sheet of cardboard, with the various Bunny personalities drawn in a circle. There was: Bully Bunny- Easter-Bunny was shown towering menacingly over a much smaller bunny.

Boxing-Bunny-EB was wearing boxing gloves and punching another unfortunate bunny into oblivion.

Blonde-Beauty Bunny- EB was looking very girly with long eyelashes, blonde wig and admiring him/herself in a mirror.

Brainy-Bunny-Here EB was shown wearing glasses and a professor's cap and poring over a book.

Bad-Dream Bunny- the EB from hell, complete with bared teeth and glowing eyes.

Burglar-Bunny-This EB was wearing a balaclava and carried a torch and a large bag.

Boozy-Bunny-EB was well and truly out of it and surrounded by empty bottles. Shelley won last year too, which sucks. We think it should have been someone different this time.

The judges again were Skye Frye, our glamorous blonde resident manager, and Dr Ray Beams and they thought Shelley's 2017 entry was most original, which it was: but this year she just did more of the same.The judges are most likely lazy. They gave Shelley fifty dollars cash again which she splurged on make-up at War Paint. We know, cos she bought stuff from her friends, Whitney and Britney. There was lots of giggling and chatting, until our boss Marissa got fed up and told Whit and Brit to for heaven's sake, just make a sale and get on with their work. There was no art class prize this time, cos last year Shelley sort of went berserk and ruined everyone else's work, just because someone made a rude comment about her painting. She went around pushing over easels and spattering paint on the other students and their pictures. Of course she was asked to leave. Dr Una supervised anger-management rehab for her. We don't know whether she still is though. We mean, we don't know whether Shelley still goes to the anger management group. Lots of people from ST go, but no-one really sticks it out.

Here's the winning picture; just thought you might like to see it: Psycho Bunnies  by Shelley Shaw.

See youse and luv youse and Happy Easter from us, Lainie and Janie. xxxx

OK, so Easter was a few days ago, but so what? Youse can still buy Easter Eggs at Nutters and Rotters; the lollies and nuts shop at Scrubber-Town. They're selling big bags of broken ones, complete with torn wrappers, for an exorbitant price. Janie's Mum helped us with that word: Impressive, isn't it?

PS: Rumour has it that Noel and Noeline Nutter, the managers of 'Nutters and Rotters,' stole some Easter Eggs from other shops at S.T, including Nick's Nirvana and Eric's Emporium. Those last two are so busy accusing the other ( they really hate each other), that no-one's taking it very seriously. Second part of the rumour is that the Nutters worked overtime over Good Friday and the Saturday stamping on these eggs, so as they could sell them afterwards at a hiked up price.

NB: If you think that the Multiple Easter Bunny looks sort of familiar, you're right. It was the first chapter last year in Reely, Trooly Ridiculous; but it fit right into this Scrubber-Town story, so I've re-cycled it.
