“It came to pass that Skyler, a plumpish local Guinea Pig with lightning teeth, copped the championship. Tyler and Lisa faced off for the chomp-off before a crowd of incredulous onlookers Saturday at the Ocean City Senior Center, site of Quiet Festival activities,” Soifer reported.
Tyler beat Rose by 10 seconds in the chomp-off. Rose reportedly smiled, shrugged and said, “Maybe next year,” as Tyler dozed in his comforter.
