The inaugural "Court St Mugger of the Year" gets his own torch lit accompaniment as he sets off on another busy night of affirmative shopping.

[newbie on 27.10.06 at 08:04]

They said 'tread softly and carry a big stick' I'm not so sure that's going to be enough to beat Brown!

[Tiger Bay on 27.10.06 at 08:04]

Apparently Ewart snuffed Alex's torch.

[Tiger Bay on 27.10.06 at 08:06]

Note the Bermuda Regiment "bodyguard" in the background. He looked happier in the pictures when Alex played "take the bus to work" a few months ago.

[Tiger Bay on 27.10.06 at 08:07]

Here the Man runs down Court Street. Normally, people run down Court Street on those rare days when the Man of another kind shows up.

In a last ditch effort to secure PLP leadership, Alex Scott showed off his new celebrity "running mate" Isaac Hayes--Sorry Paula.

Norwich City football hooligans riot in Bermuda.

All alumni participating in yesterday's historic Berkley Institute Relay were asked to display their graduating year on their jerseys.

[Git on 27.10.06 at 09:08]

News of the pilot light snuffing out at Jamaican Grill prompted a swift and concerted relief effort by government.

Survivor: Devils Isle

Alex runs down the street shouting "Outwit. Outplay. Outlast" as Ewart becomes the first tribe member voted off the island.

[Martin on 27.10.06 at 09:21]

Alex (to himself)

This would have been easier as a younger man - but then I was when Berkley should have opened.

[Git on 27.10.06 at 09:26]

It would appear (to some) that the Premier had taken the suggestion to "fire Ewart" all too literally...

[Git on 27.10.06 at 09:29]

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.

[I.B.JMC on 27.10.06 at 09:49]

Grimmacing – not smiling, P and his strong arm man try to find the guy responsible for putting cockroaches in the $25 pokes after residents complain.

[Full Fullish on 27.10.06 at 09:58]

Alex Scott, having just beaten the crap out of Ewart Brown with a stick, turns his anger on the VSB news cameraman.

[Full Fullish on 27.10.06 at 09:58]

Run Forest, RUN!

[Denis Pitcher on 27.10.06 at 10:02]

Showcasing what will happen after Bermuda goes independent, Alex wields a whacking stick in demonstration of the Simpsons-esqe "whacking day" celebration he will host to rid the island of all white people.

[Tiger Bay on 27.10.06 at 10:10]

Showing his "common touch with the people" Alex went jogging in a custom-tailored suit and $1000 shoes.

[Tiger Bay on 27.10.06 at 10:11]

Alex Scott and his posse beat a hasty retreat when they heard that Laverne was canvassing in the neighborhood.

[SmokingGun on 27.10.06 at 10:43]

Once again leaving the rest of Bermuda completely befuddled as to how things work inside the PLP, Alex Scott was last seen leaving Alaska Hall and heading up Court Street yelling: "Hey Ewart, you think it's time to pass the torch? Yeah well, come and get it!"

[silencedogood on 27.10.06 at 10:43]

After losing the PLP leadership Alex Scott goes on a Grand Theft Auto-style rampage.

[Bdagal on 27.10.06 at 10:59]

Face to face
out in the heat
hanging tough
stayin hungry
the stack the odds still we take to the street
for the kill with the skill to survive...

Its the eye of the tiger.

[Uncle Elvis on 27.10.06 at 11:02]

Just keep smiling and, for God's sake, keep running, man! It's the only way we'll get out of here alive!

[Intrigued on 27.10.06 at 11:32]

Isaac Hayes' hat says Uptown Security. Shouldn't it say "Back a town" Secruity?

[Yet Another Limey on 27.10.06 at 11:40]

Alex looks a bit of a tit with his breast cancer awareness flag.

[SmokingGun on 27.10.06 at 11:48]

The Tortoise and The Hair.

[VB on 27.10.06 at 12:04]

"Um Ah, Um Ah, Um Ah where are all those people who love me soooo much? No matter. Monday I start using all those frequent flyer miles to commute to that dreamland I've been living in. I have plenty reason to smile."

[Casual Observor on 27.10.06 at 12:06]

I think I can, I think I can...Alex leaves the other competitors in his dust in the Special Olympics 100m relay.

[Tony B on 27.10.06 at 12:16]

I'll beat the CRAP out of Brown tonight....
I am sick and tired of listening to and taking crap from my Deputy....

I shot the sheriff
But I did not shoot no deputy

[terrycloth on 27.10.06 at 13:36]

That's the biggest crack pipe I have ever seen - yo Alex, wait up let me get a hit on that!

[Uncle Elvis on 27.10.06 at 14:07]

"We got Pro-Avtive to light this torch as a symbol that we support... DAMMIT!"

[Darkside on 27.10.06 at 14:20]

Alex goes out in a blaze of glory

[texpat on 27.10.06 at 14:35]

Having just mugged Prometheus, P made a clean get away.

[shipwreckedcanuk on 27.10.06 at 14:42]

P works at keeping his pimp hand strong for Friday's PLP convention...

[ian on 27.10.06 at 14:45]

After the 'independance bus' failed to attract a crowd, P takes to the street carrying his 'torch of independance'. Despite his face-splitting smiley optimism, the crowd again fails to get behind him on his journey.

[JJ on 27.10.06 at 14:46]

"Come in # 17. Your time is up"

[JEC on 27.10.06 at 14:46]

P had a cunning plan to get more money out of Berkley... "If we burn it down and make it look like it was an accident, we'll get all the insurance money and we can start again!"
Brown: "How do we do that?"
P: "We'll have an opening ceremony with a torch like the olympics, just trip me when I get close!"
Brown: "Oh dont worry, I will!"

[32n64w on 27.10.06 at 15:09]

After Bermuda's successful bid to host the 2014 Special Olympics is announced, the Mid-Atlantic Wellness Centre's mascot takes a victory lap around town. Of course the torch was not lit as this would clearly be a health hazard with so much hot air in the vicinity.

[SmokingGun on 27.10.06 at 15:35]

In direct response to his challenger's campaign theme of taking Bermuda to he next level, Premier Scott shows he too is capable of raising the bar.

[Darkside on 27.10.06 at 16:26]

Alex's Continuing Adventures in Wonderland

The Constituent and Alex looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Constituent took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed him in a languid, sleepy voice.

`Who are you?' said the Constituent.

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alex replied, rather shyly, "I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."

"What do you mean by that?" said the Constituent sternly. "Explain yourself!"

"I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir" said Alex and then Alex grabbed the hookah and ran off.

[SmokingGun on 27.10.06 at 16:37]

Smoking the P's Pipe.

[Darkside on 27.10.06 at 16:37]

The Happy Hookah!

[ace on 27.10.06 at 17:22]

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

CHORUS:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

CHORUS

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

CHORUS

The eye of the tiger...

[Point Finger on 27.10.06 at 17:31]

No Alex, I asked for a
Bud Lite.

[BusGuy on 27.10.06 at 22:36]

Hey BusGuy,
I lost the vote and lost my car can you give me a ride home and the guy in the army uniform behind me rides free.
