Gorden of Poutine Machine has not been asked to join.<\/p>\n<h4>Behold, The Feet!<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/thefeet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2996  aligncenter\" title=\"The Feet\" src=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/thefeet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/thefeet.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/thefeet-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Caution, you are about to enter the &#8220;No Spectating Zone&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Know Your Neighbour<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/currie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2990  aligncenter\" title=\"Caroline Currie\" src=\"http:\/\/www.btsh.org\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/currie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/currie.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/currie-300x256.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Name:<\/strong> Caroline Currie<br \/>\n<strong>Team:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous<br \/>\n<strong>Suggested\u00a0Nickname:<\/strong> Spicy<br \/>\n<strong>Rejected Nicknames:<\/strong> La Femme Blonde, Canadian Strongwoman, Pickles, C.C.<br \/>\n<strong>Origin:<\/strong> Montr\u00e9al, QC<br \/>\n<strong>College:<\/strong> Georgetown University<br \/>\n<strong>Early Aspirations:<\/strong> To help Quebec achieve sovereignty from Canada<br \/>\n<strong>Current Aspirations:<\/strong> To play a game while wearing Filthy Gorgeous&#8217;
