Lots of gymnastics bets being taken at the Celeste home right now. In a huge upset, Elizabeth “Spider Monkey” Lavin beat Tim Rogers in the main event of the evening, the crowd-pleasing, ratings-grabbing “Who Can Walk Farther On Hands” event. (In a sudden death, one-time final, she took two steps, he took one and fell onto his belly.) Afterward, he bested Lavin in the “Who Can Do More Chin-Ups” competition, 4-2. (He then lost $20 to yours truly, by stupidly betting I couldn’t do eight chin-ups. Horrible bet. Have you seen how ripped I am? Seriously.) The injury you see here was the result of his first hands walk, in which he dismounted onto my dining chairs. I know it looks like he has two knees, but that bump is in the middle of his shin. And getting bigger. Next up: uneven barstools.
