Hey, you kids, get out of my Fjord! The Layer Viking isn't happy. The Layer Viking is awesome, and has Shogun-Warrior-esque fist-launching capability. Beater brings it to a apoclyptic heathen end, and to be honest, the morning after the Z-Jackson-Doherty concert, you'd wake up and realize that you don't really give a crap about Z, Jackson, or Doherty, and neither do your Friendsters. In fact they're probably making fun of you on Facebook right now. You better log in, before you take a shower. The Layer Viking is a physical manifestation of your common sense. I want a Layer Viking t-shirt, typo and all. Game, set, match.
Other than the sub-par commentary, this contest was amazing, consistent, collaborative, and competitive, all in one. The best part is that the whole Flash (Aaaah-aaah!) deal actually worked out great, even though we barely tested it. I wouldn't dare pick a winner, please visit the Layer Tennis Forums and let us know who you think deserves the nod. James and Trevor are there now to answer your questions and sign autographs.
Soundtrack to this volley: Any time a Viking shows up, you gotta go with "Wunderbar" by Tenpole Tudor. It's a crime the viking-based video's not on the net, though there's a TOTP performance on YouTube.
Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Bryan Bedell.
