Yesterday I was at a cookout. The reason for the cookout (apart from the beautiful warmth of the day)? So that a group of comics could videotape an epic battle — Sally and Thibbb arm wrestling with the winner to kick sand in the face of the loser.

Here’re my pics from the bout taken with a phone cam, so pardon the low quality (I forgot to adjust the image size for better quality and I wasn’t sure what the phone memory could handle):
