Okay, the question is, do the gals trust Superbob's arithmetic? We'll see.
Anyway, here is how SB reads the first week's results in The Great Pumpkin Race:
Gals:
Losses:
Rhena: 5.8
Janie: 3
Laurie: 5
Duffey: 1
Cindy: .4
(Jan: plus-1)
Net loss for week: 14.2
Guys:
Losses:
Geckley: 2
Cooker: 1.5
Superbob: 1.4
Wise: .1
Nngbwh (just establishing his baseline)
Net loss for the week: 5
Any corrections? Additions? Subtractions? Demands for a recount?
Okay, I think the gals deserve a round of applause for their first week's efforts. They obviously are determined to kick male butt. Guys, perilous times are ahead -- college football season begins Thursday with Southern Miss playing the Gamecocks. That means beer and chips, chips and beer.
We must be strong. How about pedaling an exercise bike for at least a quarter? Or doing situps between plays? Drastic action is required.
Do not be discouraged by the first week's results, guys. We are in this for the long haul.
Okay, SB cannot be totally objective. One of the gals will have to deliver the pep talk for the "sugar and spice" side.
