Victory is sweet

Monday, June 23, 2008

Nick (the Masshole) and Nathan had a little bet going on the NBA Finals.  If the Lakers won, Nick would do 100 burpees for workout, if the Celtics won Nathan would wear a t-shirt of Nick's choice during class.  Here is a picture of Nick celebrating victory!  He also made sure that the shirt was two sizes too small for Nathan.  I'm not sure who got the best end of the bet, Nick received some extra special personal coaching from Nathan on Saturday!
 Hope you can walk today Nick!
