Yeah Gorillaz is my favorite band and this video was the beginning of the journey. Remember watching it and being blown away by the music and the video itself

Honestly this. I never understood the point of mowing a lawn until now. Taking care of my yard (while failing miserable in some places), gets me away from my computer/phone/tv/whatever, and in touch with the outside world, even if its just me and my yard.

As paradoxical as it sounds, serendipity does not happen on its own. You have to foster an environment to let it bloom. Exactly what you did here.

To their eyes is bragging rights that you were able to get last. It wasn't long before medals for places below 1,2 & 3 were removed.

Kids are pretty smart (way smarter than some people/parents think they are) and they know how far they can go, and what they can get away with.

The best part is when kids compete for that last place ribbon. Makes for some ridiculous races where everyone is barely running.

This is a thing with professional athletes as well.

See for example the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanterne_rouge .

I was thinking the same. Most likely: "You don't have facebook? What are you trying to hide?" xD
