The sense of Defeat.

I sense that I have been defeated by the puzzle.

I pulled out all the stops, cranking through Technorati, IceRocket, Google Blog Search, Google Search, AltaVista, Yahoo, and anything else I could think of to pull this off, but I cannot locate the last piece.

The $1,000 post opportunity is already up, which means all the pieces are in the wild, in at least three locations.

It hurts to lose, but it hurts more to lose big.
