Pong Challenge 2012: Recess Creative vs. Melamed Riley.
In the wee hours of a dark night in the not-so-distant past, two gentlemen, who will remain anonymous, made their way to Recess Creative dressed from head-to-toe in black Shinobi shozoku. There they delivered a challenge of epic proportions on behalf of the Melamed Riley Ping-Pong Squad.
We hired these two ninjas to deliver our challenge.
The message was read loud and clear.
During the month of June, the Melamed Riley team requests Recess Creative’s participation in a tournament of Ping-Pong. It will be a civilized competition at Melamed Riley world headquarters in the Idea Center at Playhouse Square, commencing at approximately half past five on a mutually agreed upon evening. The victors of the two-on-two competition shall be determined by the best of seven 21-point games. Wagers optional. Swaggers mandatory.
We seek Recess Creative acceptance and look forward to meeting them on the field (or table) of battle. Respond at dhintz@mradvertising.com.

At the end of the night the chemistry between the two MR elites just didn’t jive. Recess wound up taking a commanding lead midway through that ultimately led to their victory in The Ultimate Pong Challenge of 2012. [...]
