Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.

I always assumed it was a take on those motivational posters. You know, the ones with a picture of like a a mountain and then it says "CHALLENGE" underneath it, and in smaller letters under that, something about how a challenge is just another way of an opportunity showing up. Vomitously corny and unmotivational.
Of course, that's an assumption rather than anything fact-based.
