Jarman and 11 other finalists were tasked with playing a simulated game of World of Warcraft via spreadsheet

How did he manage to fit the award ceremony into his busy schedule of having sex with beautiful models? ...Probably with a spreadsheet, now I think about it.

The sheet was not the only thing being spread

I can’t even make fun. Not because he’s a fellow Canadian. Because they hand out that sick belt.

Was he legally required to appear as a stereotype?

I find it stunning that some people are so intelligent. Excel isn't merely a matter of memorizing rules and lots of practice/experience. You truly have to be sharp as hell to get on this kinda level.

Our company database is an excel sheet.

Michael Jarman, pictured between two people...

That's a funny photo caption.

"Michael Jarman, ceremonially situated between two distinguished event representatives,"

"Michael Jarman, strategically positioned in a central location with one individual stationed to his immediate left and another to his immediate right,"

The article embedded what appears to be the entire tournament… Nearly 7 1/2 hours lol.

No doubt about it, though, that intro track is absolutely lit
