A Chance At Glory Part 2

...this interview is continued from A Chance at Glory Part 1


-Alfred Hopps: How was your nap?

-E.L.L.I.S.3000: I've had a few unwanted interruptions throughout the afternoon making my current napping experience less than desirable. I'm no Casey Curbow, Professional Napper, this just doesn't come easy to me.

-Alfred Hopps: Casey is renowned for his napping abilities.

-Alfred Hopps: Now, before you fell asleep I was asking you if you had anyone you drew upon for inspiration. Could you revisit that question for me?

-E.L.L.I.S.3000: Yes, of course. I apologize for my abrupt exit earlier. Throughout my youth, I always looked to the Legendary Jesse Knight for inspiration. That man can drink like a pro. However, after witnessing Mr Knight vomit as a result of binge drinking earlier this spring, I came to learn that he is a mere mortal like you and me. This gives me hope that I can overcome this and find my true form. I am, with out a doubt, also inspired by my teammate Jungle Death. It is very heartwarming to see one of your teammates recognize when he has to pick up a little bit of slack for his injured teammates. I wish him the best and hope he can maintain such a high form in the week to come.

-Alfred Hopps: Speaking of your team, how do you think Team Going for Gold will respond to your absence?

-E.L.L.I.S.3000: I have yet to see the weekend results of T.U.R.D. but I feel like Team Going for Gold has already come out of the gates with cups a blazin! We have the right mindset to pull out a W in this long battle and I have a lot of faith in my team that they will do just fine with me cheering from the sidelines for this next week.

-Alfred Hopps: Now, if you could, take me back to that moment, that moment when your tonsils exploded. Can you tell me the emotions, the thoughts that were going through your mind.

-E.L.L.I.S.3000: I immediately broke down in tears, thinking I would be the cause of my team's downfall. I was nervous, scared, and disappointed in myself for being so foolish. I went to see Doctor "English Ales Only" Ellis for his expert opinion. After no signs of improvement Sunday, he scheduled an emergency tonsillectomy for Monday morning to remove any excess tissue and to promote a speedy recovery. The Doctor expects a full recovery as long as I have a lot of rest in the upcoming days. In the meantime I have had multiple meetings with my Coach to create detailed plans on when, where, and how much I will be able to drink again. All appears well and I have high hopes for the days to come.

-E.L.L.I.S.3000: wow i have the hiccups and it does not feel fun.

the conclusion of this in depth interview will be posted at a later date...
