What?! Left out here in the Arctic?! Where's the supplies....I'm sure we're supposed to get supplies. You know....rice, blankets-would-be-nice, fire-most-definitely. Mucklucks would have been nice for mucking around, lucky enough not to freeze my toes off. And COFFEE!!! She promised coffee. <grumble, grumble> Pfft. Wait till I lay my eyes-in-the-back-of-my-head on that host of ours. Grrrr.... Scrappy Probsting on an open fire.....
Ok, ok...enough complaining, Phalon. Seems you picked an appropriate camp name....cuz you've definitely landed yourself in hell, and now you've gotta figure out how to get back.
Good thing I brought the manicure set; the nail file and indestructible box made short work out of chiseling, chopping, and scooping ice and snow, and look! I've made a nice, if not lopsided, cozy igloo. I've even sculpted a palm tree out of ice to shade myself from this hot tropical sun. (eye-roll)
Hmmm.....I wonder what the others are up to?

As promised......if you're brave enough to open it. Of course you'll have to win the challenge if you expect to be able to actually cook it.

Oh! Oh! Oh! So this is mine to keep even in the unlikely event that I'll lose the challenge? Psst...Scraprobst...you brew coffee, not cook it. Such a non-coffee drinker, you are. Can I at least wallow in its heavenly beanie aroma 'til the challenge?

Absolutely. Heck my neighbor likes to actually chew on the dang things so whatever floats your boat....or...penguin....or whatever.

WAKE UP!!!! Come on, Joxie! Katina, get your behind in that kayak and paddle on over. Never-mind that guard killer whale keeping you out there on Exile Iceberg. Look, he's friendly - he's even got a big, toothy smile for you this morning!
The hostess will never know - she's still sleeping in that soundproof-so-she-can't-hear-our-whining palace of hers.
Lookit what I made! And it only took me all weekend to do it, chiseling away with my ice-pick/nail file. It's a roller-coaster! No, it's a bobsled! Higher than a bobsled run, but no roller in the coaster because there's no wheels. It's a BOB-COASTER! (Fred was busy.) And there's loop-de-loops, and cork-screws, and a vertical drop that'll make you wish you were safely out on Exile.
Look - I even wrote your names on your crates-turned-coaster-cars in "Blood Red" nail-polish from my kit. So it ran a little when I was painting it on, and kind of looks like the real thing - no ominous warning at all. And all the crates are chained together, so we can go down together.
It's completely safe, I swear - the penguins and I tested it out already. Even the mechanical penguin cracked a....uhm....smile. (shhhhh....I duct-taped him back together. Hostess Probstess will never notice.)

Hmmm.....
I'm not sure this is entirely kosher. Where did I put that rule book.
And why is the new chrome penguin walking funny?

Hey! Didn't I hear you say upon your arrival that you had a penchant for fast cars, and fast ........ well, we won't go there. Technically, I gave you both....because if Joxie and I are careening down the slope, we'd be considered fast....well, we won't go there. Where the hell is Joxie, anyway?
Of course, it's not kosher. These are Southern Pole Baptist Penguins....I couldn't find a Rabbi in the bunch.
Sheesh....ya try to provide a little fun, and all ya get is flack. Pfft. Come on, penguins....you too, Pal, (Penguin Artificial Life, and my bud). Let's have some fun, and afterward I'll whip up a batch of freeze dried, reconstituted fish for breakfast.

That kat accuses ME of cheating, and HE ends up at Scrappy Probst's Fabulous Hotel Room!!! Well, at least I didn't end up back at his place ... his ain't much better than mine. At least this place has some furnishings. JUST NOT HEAT!!! (And me not allowed to bring my blow dryer.) I wonder what coffee beans are like after being roasted over an open fire? Or boiled in salty water? Probably not the same as chestnuts or peanuts. Lucky for Phalon, I don't drink coffee but once every few years. Although, it has been a while. I'm probably due.
To be on the safe side, I best hide these suckers.

Psst....Joxie. Meet me at your old camp at 0:Dark-Thirty tonight - we'll need your hair dyer. And bring the manicure kit.
Oh....btw, how good are you at swimming moats and scaling palace walls?
Here...I'll just leave a little mood music to put you in the right frame of mind.
AND KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY COFFEE BEANS!!!!

Does it really matter which of those misspelled words I am? I'm miffed and I'm unstable....and I have a nail file.
<scrapes coffee bean residue from grinding rocks, and rubs it on her gums>
MWAHahahahahah....
Just kidding. I never could do that evil laugh thing right.

Call in the Spell Check Repair Guy, because insperation and persperation every time I've been inspired or have perspired were spelled inspiration and perspiration. But I've hardly been either, so I could be wrong. Webster's however, is not.
Ooooo, scary. (eye-roll...page 56)

It's a good damned thing that I didn't rip the cup out and stick my mouth under the spout before the coffee had a chance to pour!
I had the penguins take care of the monkey.

bubble bubble bubble…up periscope…looks quiet enough… bubble bubble… Phalon! Is Scrappy around anywhere? No? Okay! I’ve got just what you need! I stopped by the store. And this has worked out so well! I know you’re getting snow blinded so I looked for the brightest container I could find at the grocers. They had the perfect thing too! It’s this red plastic thing and it’s called Folgers. Since you mentioned caffeine I made sure I got the right stuff – I think it’s a double dose ‘cause it says it’s THE CAFF..or decaff..something like that. He he. Don’t tell Scrappy! I’m hiding in a diving bell and I’ll come bubbling up once in a while when I can be helpful. But, I don’t want to stay up too long. Not any taking chances! See ya later. So there I was.....making my regular rounds of the camps just to check on everyone and make sure no one froze to death over night or was attacked by rouge penguins.....when on approach to Phalon's camp I discovered a rather odd thing. A normally calm section of ocean had all these little bubbles coming up and there was a long black hose snaking into the water from somewhere in the distance. Well my keen instincts told me this can't be good for the pristine environment of Antarctica. So acting swiftly I tied a knot in the hose to prevent what ever foul stuff that was in the hose from polluting the beautiful ocean. "I must remember to have some of the staff have that removed later. In the meantime I think it's safe again."

Holy Mackerel, ya realise what you've done? Better get back quick and undo that knot or we're gonna have a catastrophe on our hands ........................... hang on stepper helps on it's way. *sheesh hope he's got plenty of air in that thing*
