Try-outs and applications
A record attendance as thousands of lucky onlookers turn up to watch the annual Scotland's Got Nessie competition this morning at Loch Ness. Every year on this day hundreds of hopeful competitors turn up hoping to be selected as the famous Nessie to represent Scotland for the upcoming tourist season. As competitors showcased their neck lengths and strength of their roar, before being whittled down to a handful of hopefuls by judges, finalists then competed in a final hide and seek competition. One lucky winner has been selected to be Nessie and now all unlucky competitors will make their way through River Ness, Moray Firth and out to the North Sea, then travelling to compete in the upcoming Canada's Got Ogopogo competition in Okanagan Lake or Vermont's Got Champ competition in Lake Champlain.

I swear, every single time I head to Loch Ness as a drunken muskrat, I always forget about going there today. I'm thinking one of these days, Nessie and I are going to enjoy a single malt. Perhaps a little sump'n from Ardnamurchan.

The last time I journeyed through the Okanagan region, I thought I saw Ogopogo one evening. But it might have been the Caribou Crossing helping.

I'm a novice in the Nessie spotting competition, as the best I've managed is five.
Among the experts and pros' the trick, I believe, is to tick off the Nessies' in numerical order, despite their random appearance. Those feeling competitive can join in the Nessie bingo, with big prizes for a 'full-house'.
What a hoot..!
