Deep dives
Leprechauns as Mayors
Leprechauns should be elected as mayors because they are fiscally responsible with their hidden gold, are skilled entrepreneurs, and teach important life lessons. Their secret handshake involves holding up four fingers for a four-leaf clover, tapping with a fist like a hammer, and making an arc to represent the rainbow before running away.
Trolls as Mayors
Trolls would make great mayors because they would abolish bridge tolls, create safer neighborhoods with troll patrols, and prioritize the environment by getting rid of palm trees and planting leafy trees. Their secret handshake involves wiggling their big tummies, hip bumps, armpit sniffs, and air headbutts.
A Close Decision
After careful consideration, the judge awarded the victory to trolls because of their love for eating goats and their soft side. However, both debaters impressed with their storytelling skills and expanded our understanding of trolls and leprechauns.
Libby's Decision
Libby believes that video games should win the TV versus video games debate because they are more interactive.
