I was always a big fan of the phrase "everyone wants their shot at the champ" and thought it universally applicable and followed. So I was somewhat saddened to discover that this is not the case. I am about to lose my company champion title at foosball without ever kicking a ball for they're running the championship whilst I'm in Nepal. This reminds me of the Cold War where the United States and Soviet Union refused to participate in each others' Olympics leading to a series of gold medals being awarded which were, at best, hollow. I suppose I'll have to make do with returning to oust whichever upstart has claimed the empty championship and re-establish the natural ordering of things. Though, for the life of me, I can't see past Al and Jesse for the crown.
In other news I have abandoned Operation: Sombrero as unworkable as Google only shows me novelty items and will not allow me to purchase an authentic and useful version. Therefore it's back to the trusty old Tilley Original which, on second thought, is an entirely appropriate piece of headgear for the would-be gentleman adventurer.
