I Might Be A Rat
SURVIVING BARSTOOL SPOILERS THRU EPISODE 6 BELOW
It comes out in Episode 5, but I had orchestrated an alliance with KFC and Feitelberg going into Surviving Barstool. I figured it was the perfect match. There were 14 contestants. The final would have to be at least three people big.
So going into the game, those were my guys. It was perfect because nobody would expect it. Everybody would know that they're working together and I could protect their back while they could ensure I always had the numbers.
Early in the game, Kirk started talking to myself and Will along with KFC and Feits and we were a big happy unit at five people. But when the cutdowns had to take us down from five to four, some decisions had to be made. Unfortunately, that meant Kirk had to go as he was trying to crumple my pre-existing alliance.
Since this is not a straight forward numbers game, certainly I played into the fact I was working with Kirk and Will at that time. Kirk took exception with me after the elimination and I get it and I am now being labeled a rat.
And while being a rat isn't exactly a good thing, it's a game and I understand. Plus, there have been some cool rats throughout history: Pizza Rat, Master Splinter, Chuck E. Cheese, so it's not 100% bad!
Kirk's fans, appropriately named the Minifans have been sending photoshops of me as a rat like this:
*this one might be number one, but here are the others I like:
Great imagery. Simple and clean.
A little rough around the edges, but appreciate the effort and it's a funny looking pic.
This one is a great illustration. Customized with the Bucs jersey too!
This one is awesome. A legit awesome photoshop. Very well done. I look like an actual rat!
This one is genius. I did a jersey swap with Buccaneer great Cam Brate a few years ago, so to not only swap his head out for a rat but to also change his last name on the jersey to read rat is a chef's kiss.
