• Lego Wins

   

  

   

  I saw this in my neighborhood on my way to the train this morning. The area didn't look like a construction zone and very well may have been someone reserving a parking spot with caution tape they bought at a party store (google/bing search was inconclusive).

  All I know is either:
  1) Someone at Lego is a genius because I immediately wanted to go buy some Legos.
  2) Someone I live near is a genius because I certainly wasn't going to park there.

  
   

• Culmination of a Paper Football Championship

   

  
  
  

  Bienvenido "Benny" Torres and Christian Kugel struck their fists to their flat hands in a rock-paper-scissor "coin toss" to see who would get the opportunity to strike first in the inaugural Denuo Paper Football Championship Game. There was tepid anticipation in the air as their various vanquished opponents from the previous three rounds surrounded them to watch. Once players, they were now witnesses to desktop sports history. Only one of them (Albert Kim) had predicted that Torres and Kugel would meet in the finals. At the end of the count of three, Torres threw two fingers into a V shape, proclaiming scissors. The tension in the cold room was only matched by that of Kugel's fingers. The maintained fist of rock signified the first victory of the day, and Kugel would receive the Torres kickoff to start the game.

  Kickoffs are routine in just about every paper football game. But whenever Torres puts the edge of the paper football off his end of the table, preparing to slide the ball across the forboding black desktop, the crowd always sits with bated breath; each of them wondering if lightening would strike a second time.
