Big Donut pinged out of Table Tennis semi final!

Not surprising but for a brief moment there, hope sparkled in Big Donut. Maybe, just maybe, they could make it to the final...

What with?

Sheer dumb luck, of course! =P

Well, and skill where it counts.

Obviously the skill thing doesn't apply to secret weapon no. 9, whose part relies totally on luck. His job was to be the sacrificial lamb, and all that's needed was sheer dumb luck in draw to pair up with opponent's best team.

Big Donut's secret weapon no. 9 has this to say when we caught up with him after the game,

"I am delighted to announce that I have completed my mission. We were indeed pitched against the opponent's best team, which of course, totally annihilated us."

The so called "sacrificial lamb" team from Big Donut didn't get big o'donut for both the matches against their opponent, they managed to get, by sheer dumb luck of course, at least 3 points.

"Woot!" was the response from secret weapon no. 9.

Big Donut wanted to pair their best team against opponent's second best team, and their second best team against the opponent's weakest team so they can get the necessary 2 wins to proceed to the final.

Too bad Big Donut's luck ran out on the draw, they ended up with their best team versus opponent's weakest team and second best against second best.

Captain Horny Lee and his partner 'The Defender' gave all they got, scores were close but the opponent was just a tad better. That's the second best team pairing and losing that deciding game marked the end of Big Donut's journey for the table tennis event.

The best team for Big Donut was their ping pong coach and secret weapon number 1, which won their game saving Big Donut from a whitewash. They didn't face the opponent's weakest team after all, since Big Donut already lost two games and the opponent's weakest team didn't show up, the opponent recycled their players and the audience got to watch a furious game instead!

So, what will happen when the merciless meets the merciful? Who will end up begging for mercy and will any mercy be given at all?

Departmental Olympic Games 2009 table tennis final next week will see the clash of team No Mercy with team The Merciful 9.

Remember to grab the front seat! =)
