500 Spin
Balance of Power
by the Freak
I guess there's something wrong with me but I don't think I
ever will have any desire to spin around 500 times. Hell, I don't want to
spin around 50 time. I guess that is why I am reporting on the Pill Bug
Olympics though instead of participating in them. People who do like to
spin around that many times are Mike of Marylando and Cory of Campbella.
These two professional spinners dominated the 200 Spin and now have
dominated to 500 Spin as well. The other participates, Megan and Kelly
of Butenia, Emily of Otros, Marc of Marylando, Janelle of Campbella,
and Pill Bug of Buggland, never were really in the race.
The 500 Spin is a mixture of stamina and speed. You also need to know
how to pace yourself. If you starting spinning too fast you are pretty much
guaranteed you will be puking before spin number 300. Mike and Cory have
perfectly mastered that art. Speaking of puking, we had a little bit of that
this time around.
The spin started and Marc of Marylando jumped out to what seemed to
be a pretty big lead. However he was going a little too fast and after about
350 spins he fell to the ground and began puking like mad. His puke traveled
down to where Janelle of Campbella was spinning and she slipped on it. The puke
smell must have triggered something and Emily of Otros fell and began to puke
as well. All through this Mike and Cory quietly just kept spinning away. Then
before you knew what happened, Cory was awarded the gold medal and Mike came in
ten spins behind to win the silver. Kelly of Butenia was the only other
contestant to finish and was awarded the bronze.
