Doug Townsend suffered defeat at the hands of the Slinko Games batting cage on Tuesday, making contact only four times and solid contact just once. This was just the latest in a series of setbacks for Townsend’s feelings of manhood and self-worth:
May: Attempts to throw a football spiral so poorly that even his wife bursts out laughing.
June: Hit in face with frisbee; takes four hours to completely stop bloody nose.
July: Stared at bicycle in garage for long moment before realizing he could not do it and deciding to make four minute drive to work yet again.
August: Though EMT’s were able to resuscitate him, Townsend technically drowns in his own above ground swimming pool.
September: Soundly defeated by treadmill, five falls to zero.
October: Is forced to switch from top to bottom in sex with wife record 15 seconds into intercourse.
November: Attempted four times to throw a football back over a tall fence to a group of kids playing; eventually had to walk ball around fence.
December: Loses to 9-year old son at Horse, HORSE to HOR.
January: Refers to Steelers quarterback as “Ben Hasselbeck or whatever.”
February: Falls down for absolutely no reason at all.
