Untouchable Greatness!

Only once in a lifetime, there comes an athlete of such character, such fortitude, so much strength, so much humility, and just plain greatness. Well ladies and gentlemen...we have one of those "once in a lifetime" moments upon us this day. Today a man so great, reached a plateau so unreachable, that it may never be sniffed by mere mortals again. Yes folks, without further adieu, I bring you this phenomenal athlete, Michael Phelps.

And on another note...today, on his one year anniversary as a resident of Powersoccerland, Master Assistant Sipwell has achieved the largest goal in PS, he is now a level 99!!! CONGRATS MATE!!! It has been a long road...you lose some, you draw some, but to reach 99, you must win some as well. With their long friendship, and despite losing their race to 99, Airfix gladly played the patsy in Sipwell's historic game. AF9 put up a fight (uncharacteristically), in a 1-1 draw, but lost this match in the LVL 99 cup 6-4 on PKs. Yes Sip went on to win the cup with a 3-0 victory over Soroe, but who cares...

So, on to the party...we will start with a nice rousing rendition of "99 Bottles of Beer",?
featuring Belgian beer galore. It is a bit less than manly rendition, so I found it only fitting to open a celebration of Sipwell. We will continue by all buying him a gift from the famous “99 Only” store. C’mon, you think we’re being cheap? Does anyone really think Sip is worth more than a buck?


Yes, Sipwell has achieved this level by maintaining his greatest quality, a very high level of mediocrity.
So, CONGRATULATIONS Sipwell, on an achievement well earned, through sweat and blistered fingers.

Thanks very much for this very nice and laughable thread. Although I wished you focussed on the Belgiam soccer team which trashed Italy yesterday in the quarter final instead of that SwimBoy (nationalist), but thanks for a very great thread. I am sure going to enjoy those 99 bottles of beer. Especially since they are all belgians. Thanks, thanks a lot.
