Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests! You all may not know me, but my name is Master Bimmins and I need your help. My cousin, the legendary shirtless and 20-time Olympic runner Master Higgins, was napping on a tropical island under a palm tree when he got conked on the coconut by...well...a coconut. At first I thought he was okay, but now I think that whack to the ol' melon has made him go rather insane. He started off by wanting to alphabetize his silverware and then he started scrubbing his stainless steel sink like there was no tomorrow, muttering something like "how did this get so silver. I need to scrub the silver out of the sink." The next thing I know, he pulled all the shoelaces out of his shoes, pulled all the bookmarks out of his books, dressed up like a woman and danced to "Goodbye Horses" for a couple hours, set the time on all his clocks to random times, and then played Action 52 on the NES for like three days straight! I mean, who plays Action 52 on the NES for three days straight, let alone for more than five minutes? Anyway, I wake up the next day and Master Higgins is nowhere to be found. Oddly enough, there was a note taped to my forehead. This is what it said:
"Cousin Bimmins,
Dinosaurs have invaded Earth and they said my beloved Tina has been kidnapped by the evil monsters dwelling on the islands further down the atoll. They want to help me get her back, and by any means necessary. First of all, I'm going to eat tons of fruit and get big and strong, because if I don't, I'll wither away to nothing and DIE! Second, I'm going to hang ten and ride my skateboard all over those islands like a badass! Third, I'm going to throw a stone ax at each and every last monster I find and I'm not going to stop until they're all dead! And last but not least, I'm going to fulfill my childhood wish...I'm going to ride a dinosaur! Be very jealous of me! Oh, and please don't try to come after me and stop me. My revenge must be complete!
Ta-Ta for now,
Master Higgins"
Holy crap, he really has gone insane! Dinosaurs don't even exist anymore! Plus, those islands down there are a nature preserve! Those are some of the rarest animals and exotic fruits in the world and they're not to be touched! Here's where I'll need your help. I need you all to find Master Higgins and help guide him back home before he gets himself into some serious trouble. I really hope these are just the ravings of a madman and that he's not actually serious about this delusional mission of his. Here's what you need to do to get Master Higgins back home so I can take him to a shrink:
