1) A BATTLE ROYAL – BATTLE of the BULGE: Currently underway is a SEA HAWKER v. MINER49’er bet. The things I do to assure the integrity of

our organization. ^_^

I have been challenged to a weight loss competition. The goal is 40 pounds. The bet – the loser must wear opposing fan’s team logo items for one

week, throughout the work area. Rest assured, I never have, nor will I EVER be placed in a position to champion the cause of the 40-whiners. That

poor person is GOING DOWN!! The competition started with a weigh-in, last Tuesday. Suffice it to say, I am “slightly” over my ideal drinking weight. I

guess a better way to say it is that I am a little over svelte and can afford to lose a couple ton. So, in the infamous words of Judge Mills Lane, “Let’s

get it on.”

Each week, we will weigh in and record the progress. Today’s weigh in went pretty much like any typical Seahawk versus 49’er match – the Niner’s

and media talk smack all week about how the Hawks will fail, and then… the Seahawks walk in and lay a beating on them. Why is this such a

surprise? It happens every time. Won’t those Niners ever learn?

Today’s weigh in results:

Tomahawker: Loss of 8 pounds – 32 pounds to go

40-Whiner: Loss of 6 pounds – 34 pounds to go

OH YEAH!!... I can see that Seahawk cheering skirt and foam Hawk Head looking very good on that 40-whiner. Weekly update to follow – GO SEA

HAWKERS!!!
