An English Question

I just had the following conversation via instant messaging with a coworker:

Coworker says:
I concede defeat. I'll start working on changing the algorithm

Nick says:
HA HA! Victory is mine!

Coworker says:
relish it while you can - I'm sure it will be short-lived.

Why would I want to relish victory? I really don't like sweet pickles at all, and like them even less chopped up and served on my victory with ketchup or mustard. Can I have fried onions on my victory instead? Actually... I think I might be in the mood for a big chili victory. That sounds pretty good right now.
