defeat snatched from the jaws of victory

attending a concert the night before the last day of the nike+ challenge proved fatal to mr. thompson's prospects of securing first place in the competition. he found himself in no condition to attempt rebuttal of mr. colburn's heroic, last-minute surge, viewed by many as akin to magglio ordoñez' walk-off home run against the oakland athletics in the final game of this year's ALCS.



mr. thompson and mr. reynolds both graciously conceded defeat in the face of strong celebratory remarks issued from the colburn camp with reference to phallic consumption, familial superiority and implied misgivings regarding mental and physical fortitude.

in related news, all involved parties agreed that mr. whitmire would best serve his own interests by acquiring the necessary tools to participate in forthcoming engagements as quickly as possible. "he needs to stop being a biatch," said mr. colburn. "yeah, word," said mr. thompson. "i'm in hong kong, nerds," said mr. reynolds.
