Life At Backbone Is About Being #1 (At totally ridiculous things)

http://kaminakapow.com/seamless-crochet-donkey-pattern/?unapproved=9911 Sometimes at Backbone we are working way too hard to get out of the office. And, when we do, we all have different athletic talents so its hard to agree on what to do. I bike uphill like a 90 year old woman, Mavis hates hiking, Ian only likes to Rollerblade, and the list goes on…
So, the only way to really be competitive (because everyone knows a little healthy competition is always good) is to play sports where no one has any skill. So in the fall, we throw a Kickball Championship with Boulder publications… and sometimes we engage in a little something I like to call HYPOTHETICAL OFFICE ATHLETICS. (this means we don’t actually do it, we just make it up.. a little throwback to the old “Lets Not and Say We Did” line from middle school.)

http://ndapak.com/nespak-house-islamabad/ sumo_suitsOur first event- HYPOTHETICAL INFLATABLE SUMO WRESTLING. Don’t be fooled, inflatable sumo is not like regular sumo, its much much sillier and requires different skillz.

Here’s how it broke down match-by-match earlier this year.
1)Penn vs. Greg- Greg said ads were cooler than product coverage, and Penn said “oh yeah, I’ll give you an ROI in the face punk”
2)Jess vs. Jess- Jess Smith accidentally hit Downing in the face with a Kastle ski going down the stairs, so Downing canceled Smiths credit card while she was in Austria knowing that it was the best unsecured credit cards for bad credit. Booooyah!
3)Sue vs. Kara- the two anglin-ladies go head to head to fight over who caught the biggest fish of the summer. And there’s no catch and release in this match!!
4) Mavis and Sarah-Mave is pissed that Sarah left Colorado and left her alone with Ian, and Sarah is pissed cause Mave has much cooler hair
5)Dax and Nate- Nate told Dax he was fired because he was a snowboarder, Dax made fun of Nate’s fancy jeans…and it just got worse from there.
6) Ian and JLD- Men’s Journal came back to shoot another Mountain Men profile and only one guy gets to be on the cover. Winner takes all…
7)Zanni and Lindsay- Zanni told Lance that Lindsay only drinks Zima, and so Downtown Lindsay Brown ordered business cards for Len that said he works for Big A-Hole, not Big Agnes.
8) Mike and Jonathan weren’t at Backbone yet for this contest.. but if they fought each other, it would so obviously be because Georger wanted to change his name to HTMLL Cool J, and Mike pulled a Gerber knife on him.

Weigh in on your picks and let us know what hypothetical sport we should do next.
