So here's what you have to do to see this final volley. Get really close to the screen, like really close, and try to relax your eyes. No, don't focus on it, just relax your eyes and slowly, slowly move back from your computer.
Wait a second. After all this, Rob has used this dynamic platform of artistic merit, viewed by an audience of millions to...say hi to his mom? Hey, Mrs. Cordiner, did you see the second volley when I reported that your son blew chunks all over his keyboard?
Also I've just conferred briefly with the clients for today's match and although we really, really liked your first Movin' On logo, it turns out the new mascot Boxy will actually be representing the evolutionary advocacy group Movin' On. He'll also be joining the cast of Sesame Street.
In the meantime, pop into the forums and let us know who you think should win this match.
Can someone get me a beer up here or what?
