The Winner's Circle

There's a word for people like me and my friends: Winner.

No, for real. The evidence is overwhelming. We threw together a trivia team and won. Twice. We rushed to build a Family Feud family and won. Twice. We entered the Halloween costume contest at Changes and won. A cash prize.

Steve keeps trying to remind us all to be humble, not to let it get to our heads. To that I quote a Robbie Williams lyric, "It's hard to be humble when you're so fucking big."

Big meaning successful and popular, not gigantic. We're not gigantic. I mean, Marshall's really tall, but... well, ok, fine. How about an alternate line from the same Robbie song that applies just as well: "You can't argue with popularity. Well, you could, but you'd be wrong."

In all truth, we were pretty gracious with our main competition, Katy Perry. We figured she deserved to win as much or more than we did, so we'd be happy either way.

The thing is, we always just aim to have fun and enjoy each others' company, never really count on winning anything. As the Golden Girls, we stayed in character all night, and would have had a blast even if we didn't walk away with money. Being competitive isn't any fun. We lose a lot more often than we win, but do we care? Do we remember the losses? No, we just remember hanging out and having fun. 

And that, my friends, is a success story.


Plus, don't we look awesome as the Golden Girls? Thank you all for being a friend, Girls.
