>EXCERPT FROM THE NOTES OF CORRESPONDENT #314, AKA "RICHARD", ETC.
"The less said about the previous activity, the better. If Charlotte was truly in the audience, I trust that my attire made her avert her eyes, and therefore she escaped witness of my performance. An idiotic name for an idiotic pastime for idiots, my opponent no exception.
My streak of disadvantages was to continue: obviously I had been singled out for humiliation and destruction. 'The tall poppy gets the scythe'-- always and forever. Perhaps I would make the competition uninteresting to watch, were I dealt with fairly. No matter.
'Oil wrestling.' On the upside, this involved less jostling than the hateful 'Zumba,' and rather more endurance. Per my research, matches could last upwards of an hour, provided no competitor was successfully pinned. My opponent in this case was the small lizard, the distant relative. I had no experience with his tail, or with his diminutive stature, but I recognized his body plan-- and knew it was not impervious to a well-placed thumb or knee. Moreover, I knew his energy and good cheer was not infinite. He would squirm-- but so would I, and only one of us would tire. Additionally, he lacked the strength to flip me over-- but I did not lack the strength to flip him. It didn't matter whether it took 1 hour, or 3, or 5. I would inevitably prevail."
