First Quarter 2021 -- Lair No. 3

Lair No. 3 of the Rascals, Rogues, and Rapscallions held its first quarter 2021 meeting on Saturday, March 13, 2021 under the hood of the Huntingdon Valley Presbyterian Church barn.  That space was surrounded by tarps and heated by two propane heaters.  Tables were set up, dinner brought in from Iron Hill Brewery.   The meeting was the delayed 2020 Mass Challenge, which was to produce a chain of an unusual substance.  The winner of the 33th Rascal Mass Challenge competition was Michael Moscherosch.  This was his second win, his first acquired 17 years ago in the 2003 competition.  Michael's chain contained the following links:

• Three links carved out of one piece of mammoth ivory
• One link from water buffalo horn
• One link from mammoth ivory (tusk bark)
• One link from white-tailed deer antler
• One link from Steller’s sea cow rib bone
• One link from pearl oyster mother of pearl
• One link from cow shin bone
• One link from snapping turtle upper shell

All loose links in Michael Moscherosch's chain were connected with elephant tail hair, using a Zeppelin bend, fixed with super glue.

1. Dan Bramer – Spaghetti chain
