The Look of Humiliation

I made a discovery yesterday. It turns out that some coworkers from across campus were at the basketball game in which I competed in a halftime event. Well, I knew someone was there, as shouts "Yeah! CIS!" rung from the crowd, I just didn't know who exactly it was as I couldn't find their faces in the crowd. I'd been trying to figure it out over the past couple of weeks. And finally, the payoff. I found out today that it was some people over in Cain (SIMS) and they shared with me some pictures that they took that night. Let me set the scene for you. I was called from the crowd and asked to be in a bike race. Well, they brought out my competition (a 7 year old) and his bike (small tricycle). They decided to pair me up with an even smaller bicycle (if I can even call it that, it would be better compared to a roller skate.) Whatever. I was beaten handily, barely able to stay on and almost falling on my face numerous times. Once I reached the finish line, some of his little friends were waiting to heckle me. I got back to my seats and sent Penny a text message to let her know that her boyfriend had been "embarassed by a 7 year old." All the spectators agreed that it was a ridiculous request of them to ask me to ride that thing... But what could I do. And now the discovered pictures:


















This bike is approximately the size of my shoe...lace.


















Me struggling, the kid firmly planted on a seat thinking he's a
stud. Let's see him get in the Sumo Soccer Ring with me...


















Humiliating College Students. That's what Halftime is all about....
