Blog Vs. Snow - Day 2




At the end of day one, Snow was leading Blog by a single point. With an ace up his sleeve, Blog prepared to crush his opponent with a pair on tire chains on January 2nd. Who pulled ahead in day two? Let's take a look.

- Snow forces Blog to wake up early so he can get to work on time. 2 points.

- Blog, running late, confidently strides out to his vehicle, ready to cruise to work in record time because it's outfitted with an invincible set of snow chains. No points...yet.

- Snow laughs like Cobra Commander as one of the chains slips off a tire, bringing Blog to a standstill a block later.
2 points.

- Snow raises his arms in a V as Blog inspects the problem The chain has wrapped around an axle, forcing him to crawl under the vehicle to remove it. Despite his "waterproof" jacket and ski pants, a pool of slush soaks through to Blog's skin. 3 points.

- Blog lets out a triumphant war cry as he manages to remove the chain. 2 points.

- Blog rolls up to a nearby intersection where his vehicle is trapped on a patch of strategically-placed black ice. Evidentially, Snow stayed up late to lay this booby-trap the night before. A line of motorists screams for blood as Blog is forced to flee and call AAA. Snow is on the floor, clutching his frosty stomach and laughing hysterically. 3 points.

- A tow truck arrives in record time and hauls Blog's vehicle to safety. 2 points.

- Blog makes it to work w/o further incident. 2 points.

- Snow has caused Blog to arrive an hour late. 2 points.

- Blog zooms home and enjoys a meal consisting of chili mixed with leftover Xmas stuffing. Snow is forced to hungrily look on as the temperature drops outside. 2 points.

Whew! What a battle! Snow delivered quite the soul-crushing bitch slap to Blog in day two. Will Blog manage to keep his cool, avoid any technical fouls and close the gap in day three? Only time will tell. At the end of day two, the score is:

SNOW: 19
BLOG: 14
