Cutthroat Competition

I'm at a bit of a loss for what to write today, but in honor (solidarity? honor isn't quite right) of the Vikings heartbreaking loss last weekend and the Badger's deflating last-second loss to Purdue last night, I will share a story of a loss I suffered a month or so ago.

For a game night at my apartment, Greg and I pulled out some old classics - Candyland and Chutes and Ladders.


My character was the little dork in jeans and a green shirt. He got stuck on space 99, as you can see here:


Unfortunately, Greg got a lucky roll to win the game,


although Lucy was not impressed.


Finally (and here is where the heartbreak comes in play), my next two rolls after the game was finished were, of course, ones.
