A Love Story

Once upon a time...
A young lad and lass met while attending a big ivy covered school in the mountains, while residing in an International Palace.
This lad and lass were destined for each other...
She was dazzled by his charm, wit and sense of humor... he with her intelligence, beauty and grace... he shared with her his interests in comic books and video games...she introduced him to reading and dancing...
In time, a passionate love affair...began to grow...
And one day, the lad gathered enough courage to ask for the lass' heart He read a short boring love poem. (which he took from a cheesy hallmark card)
She tendered his offer...and declared, "you know what lad?"
"Wot?" he stuttered.
"You can either try that romantic blah blah blah on one knee blah blah blah gibberish, OR you may try to win my heart."
Confidently he replied,"I would do anything to win your love!"
However...there was one problem...
How was the lad to win the lass' affection?
For you see, both of them were extremely competitive...
despite their amorous affections, they were constantly at each other's throats...(in a loving way)
always trying to obtain the upper hand...
and she challenged, "Young lad, to win me you must beat me." "beat you at wot?" he dumbfoundedly replied.
"Anything you wish." she mischieveously smiled.
"Alrighty then,"he boasted,"Let's be fair now. How about a friendly game of...

  • foosball?"

    Thus, the foosball tournament began. They both were allowed to choose a partner; the competition began as a "best of 5" series, but the lads team continually tried asking that the series be "best of 7", "best of 9", "best of 10", etc. - you get the picture, quite sad eh? Well, at the end, the lass consoled the lad,"nice try - maybe next time..."
    After his defeat, the lad was incensed! The least of his worries was that his pride was hurt. For you see, the lass was the type to rub it in. Not only did she jump up and down, exclaiming, "We Win! We Win!," she declared the lad a loooooser.
    The lad screamed back - "Well let's see how much of a loser I am at basketball lassie!" Well, the lass wasn't the type of girl to turn down a challenge.

  • Basketball


    Unfortunately, the lad won easily...but he was disqualified by Aphrodite for "unfair height advantage."

    Well, after some time to lick his wounds, the lad ate his pride and said, how about...uh...computer jeopardy?? Well, I'm afraid, since it was on even ground with no physical advantages, the results coincided with the 1st match:

  • Jeopardy:

    lass: $18,000 (both daily doubles)
    lad: -$4500

    By this time the lad swallowed his pride and
    exclaimed,"I won't quit...I shall have your hand, if it's the last thing I ever do!"

    Thus the battle of the sexes waged on..through grueling matches of

  • Tetris...

    lass:	25,000	87 lines    lv 9
       
lad:	24,890  85 lines    lv 9

    So Close!

  • X-Men Children of the Atom

    "Unfair!" he screamed..."You ALWAYS use Wolverine!"

  • Bust-a-Move


    "Ha Ha,"she chuckled..."I got to level 100 before you! hee hee hee."

  • Professional Wrestling: (??!!!) 
    
       
lad vs. lass
    Oh, the lass won with her "Clothesline attack"


    Well after weeks of losing at everything... the lad's emotional frustration boiled out: he expressed his love in a cry of passion, "Ok, I can't beat you in a battle of the minds.

    But I...LOVE YOU...man!!!"

    The lass was moved by such a sophisticated declaration of love. You would be too no?
    So thus, they came to a compromise: as soon as the lad saves enough for a they're gonna get
