FORE!

Golf originated in Scotland many hundreds of years ago, but here, today, it was perfected. Today marked a rather historical change of events in history: THE TWO-THOUSAND-NINE GABBALAND MINI-PUTT-PUTT OPEN!

Players in both female and male categories pulled up their argyle socks, tucked in their collared shirts and got ready to yell "FORE" as the event wore on. The prize-purse was full of great gear from: KidRobot, The Aquabats!, Toy Machine, Of Montreal, Volcom, Nike and many others!

The ladies went first, but none were able to sink the challenging putt. Good effort, ladies, next time.

The men came in ample numbers, as over 15 players were chosen. Only a handfull were able to make the shot. We think that Jake's meticulous caddie-coaching led them to their victories on the green.

Look at these birdies:Not a pair of spikes in the bunch of them.

Monsters can be fun!*

Of course they can, that's why today was Fun Monster Day here at Yo Gabba Gabba!

Today's winner in the men's division was the ever entertaining Jurgen!Not only did his costume put the FUN in dysFUNctional, he looked like a back up dancer for GWAR! Great Job Jurgen!

Our ferociously feminine finalist for the women's division was the consistently fun Estee!Estee's costume dispelled the age old myth that skeletons don't have any fun, by shaking our bones as we cheered her to victory! Way to go!

If you're scared of monsters, we apologize greatly for terrifying you, as we inevitably must have. But let me assure you that from here on out, the only monstrous thing about our blogs will be that they are monstrously awesome!

Look at these creepy crawlers!
