R29 Shorts: Intern Wars Part 1 – The Slam Dunk Contest
Posted by Tim Damitz in R29 Fun, R29 Shorts on August 6th, 2009Looking through the R29 Film Vault™ provides us all here with fond memories of yore – many of which are never shared with the public. Looking through the archives, we came across a few pieces too good to let slip through the cracks:
What happens when you put intern v. intern in a mano-a-mano battle to determine who, for once and for all, can consider himself/herself the greatest intern of all time (relatively speaking, of course)?
We have whittled the hours and hours of footage down to its core highlights and present it to you, our loyal audience, as the epic Intern War™.
About a year ago, Craig and I had our duel at a table with funnel cakes and corndogs, and I… well, I got owned. Craig swiftly and impressively put me in my place when it came to intern eating abilities. Recently, Craig and Katrina threw down in metaphorical fisticuffs on our carpeted, miniature basketball court to see who would be the Slam Dunk King/Queen of the R29 office.
Now, keep in mind that our hoop is no stranger to magnificent displays of athleticism. But, could Katrina pull off an upset and beat Craig in this first of several Intern War™ challenges? Did Craig pull the hoop off the wall? Did Katrina go all NBA Jam style and catch ‘on fire’? Watch and see! And don’t forget to check out the next installment of Intern Wars™, coming soon!
More importantly, we are interested in hearing if any of you participated in some awesome office challenges? Do share.

I must say, Craig moves like a gazelle. Here at our office we were bored and invented Ping Ping™. It is ping pong played on a small office table and with a wall instead of a net. The 16-person tournament was riveting and engulfed an entire department. In the end, I was defeated in the championship match. Oh, the bitter taste of second place!
Craig prowls the court with animal grace. Awesome victory, Craig!
