The Final Match of The Benaaron Cup Does Not Disappoint
An epic battle for the ages lived up to the hype as Vinnie croons his way to the championship
Two titans of the staring world squared off late Friday afternoon in a battle that most people are calling "a thing that I watched at my work."
Time stood still as Vinoth "Vinnie" Sabanadesan and Kevin "Eye of The Storm" Kelly stared each other down in front of the coveted Benaaron Cup, riveted co-workers and, indeed, the entire world.
With odds arguably stacked against him, the soft spoken Web Communications Advisor seemed to be the underdog as he prepared for his duel with arguably the most feared Graphic Designer in the OPS. But Vin came prepared and shocked the world as he fired up his iPod not just to hone his focus, but in order to sing to Kelly.
Undaunted by a voice that spectators called both "angelic" and "haunting" Kelly held his ground for an earth-shattering 4:37, finally succumbing to watering eyes, rumoured to be damaged from years of staring at a monitor.
Vin's victory was a popular one given that those who weren't routing for him prior to the match couldn't help but be seduced by the sounds of the Backstreet Boys sung A Capella and mostly in key.
Vin has already begun touring the Benaaron cup around Ontario and looks forward to defending his title at next year's tournament.
The founders of the Benaaron Cup would like to thank everyone who participated in the CMB staring contest; both the contestants for making the events so exciting and for the spectators and managers for your donations and intense [bordering on ridiculous] enthusiasm for the matches.
We look forward to doing it all over again next year!
And now, without further ado, I present...your 2009 Benaaron Cup Champion:
Vinnie is truly an inspiration for all of us who have struggled for years to learn the words and the music to I Want It That (A) Way. In another life, perhaps, Vinnie would have been a Backstreet Boy, and the world would be a very different place...slightly off-key and disproportionately out of sync...and the peasants would rejoice. In the words of my brothers in arms, (God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You...Vinnie. Bless us all, especially me.
