The Devils in the Details: Round 3 to B1 by a Beak

Round 3 was terribly exciting. Our fearless gladiators have measured up their opponents and are starting to shift strategies to try and gain the upper hand.

First out this round was VA Vegan. Still basking in his "Hoosier Daddy" powerhouse, he now faced the awesome challenge of defining the word "a" and summarizing the Old Testament. He deftly displayed his defining ability in a manner that could have easily diminished that old Clinton "is" controversy. Then he sprung forth from that tiny word and made short work of the entire Old Testament.

A lesser man would have succumbed to this kind of pressure, but B1 took a page from Vegan's playbook and fought back with a laugh out loud explanation of the Bird Flu and a tribute to the Tour de France Devil - complete with pictures!

This round was close and I may be overruled by the other judges, but I think B1 took it. The analysts and commentators will probably spend hundreds of syllables determining whether Vegan can bounce back from his own medicine. I for one am on the edge of my seat to see what round 4 will bring.

Bring it on!
