For those who regularly keep abreast of alexanderhiton.com, you will remember that I have blogged about playing psp with one of my co-workersduring our lunchbreak. The thing is, it's not something that we do onoccasion, it happens almost every day. Sure we're geeks, but we're happygeeks.
Each lunch hour consists of a game of Tiger Woods golf, followed by agame of Virtua Tennis. The winner buys the other one lunch. Over the months I have invariably won the lunch payouts between us.Today, however was a special day. Ben is being kicked out next Friday for general laziness and an inability to comprehend the simplest of ideas and I'm on a course next week, so today was our last chance to get in a competition. To make things interesting, I declared that all previous results no longer counted and that whoever was champion today should be declared Master of the universe. Little did Ben know but I was feeling a little sorry for him. You see he is mentally challenged and was repeatedly beaten with an ugly stick when a child. Actually, I think they probably threw the whole tree at him!
We set up an 18 hole course playing in Central Park New York. One of the hardest courses there is, and proceeded to play. It was a close game,until I decided that it was time to let Ben win, so got myself into an awkward situation trying to putt while standing in the water. This tough break helped propel Ben to an 8 hole lead, and just to keep him on his toes I brought it back to allow him a mere 5 hole victory.
It was now up to me to come-back for an at-best draw. All I had to do was manage to hold my mental game together and beat Ben in a game of 3 set tennis. However, again, in the interests of charity I let Ben win the tennis as well. Let's just say that whatever was left of his ego after the narrow victory in golf, just couldn't help him muster the strength, skill or talent to win every game off me.
Ben was momentarily crowned - Master of the universe. Then the real challenge began, anyone can win a round of golf - it takes real skill to score a hole in one. And it takes immense skill to score two!!
Ben may have been the Master of the Universe, but relatively this lasted less than the Planck Epoch.
I am now and forever officially - Master of the Universe.
