    1) OlympicSports Contextual Story
    We were TRIUMPHANT and thrilled with winning the interleague rugby match.

    We thumped and VANQUISHED the opposition. My associates and PARTNERS in the firm were thrilled. In fact, I had never seen Chuck so EBULLIENT. He must have made a bet with his arch RIVAL (and coach of the OPPONENTS team), Hawthorne. I am guessing that Chuck bet that we would so soundly crush their team that they would spend a very unhappy weekend.

    The oposition did not enjoy being both SULLEN and MOROSE. That is no way to feel while being around their most cherished COLLEAGUES! On the other hand, our guys, having DEFEATED, humiliated and out-classed them, were EXULTANT all weekend.
