Losers

Everything happens for a reason.You gotta think like that.

“Everything’s good, everything’s good,”

he says contemplatively.

Crusty firemen from New York are not typically good sources

of down-home country wisdom.

Bobby Jon has become Forrest Gump.

Jenn,

for reasons nobody understands,

whines.

Steph tells us that she is not a good loser.

Caryn is more nervous than a long-tailed cat

in a room full of rocking chairs.

She doesn’t have to dread it for long. Bam!

“I may throw up sitting there watching them eat it,”

she declares.

We would have been able

to hear their uproarious laughter.

Get me away from these losers.
