... I also knew that we could count on Doug to post something about his IIC 100 if given any opportunity

Yeah, it's not always easy to lead the pack when you've got a former track flunky trying to run in your draft. I just might have to pick a new stock, now.

Well...you and I could do a weight lifting contest...Today I did 70 curls and 50 Military presses and 60 pulls...I would use the bench but I don't have a spotter

sounds impressive Doug. alot depends on the weight you're using and did you do them all in one set each or a number of sets. at 63 i'm great physical condition. i've had a specific workout regimen with weights for 30 years or so, my wife and i walk at least 3 miles a each day, and i usually do a few sets of pushups and situps everyday during the day. i'm lucky as my time is my own and i can do what i want to do during the day so i can get away with it. I have a very small amount of body fat on my frame. i skiied all the diamonds and doulble diamonds this past friday, almost non-stop, from 9a.m. until they closed the lifts at 4 p.m. without any aerobic or muscle fatigue. i'm not up for any contests but i'm sure i would hold my own against most younger men. i'm still in favor of a peeing contest.

yes, I bet I can pee, "Doug is slow" into the snow faster than you. And spell it correctly

sorry peanuts, i've only trained for length and duration. the technical merits of pee spelling in the snow isn't my strong suit. perhaps we should have several disciplines within the contest.
i must commend you though as i believe that pee spelling in the snow requires a very distinct control and handing of your pen which also takes alot of practice and manipulation of the instrument over the course of a long time. you should be commended for sticking with it.

WOW YOU GUYS ARE REMARKABLE ! WHEN DO YOU HAVE TIME TO HAVE A DRINK OR TWO. AS FOR ALL OF THE CURLS AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF I tipped at least nine last night that means at least three wrist turns pouring the beer In to the glass thats a total of 27 Then lifting the glass probably a total of 4 times for a total of 36 maybe 6 trips to the bathroom a couple of trips to the kitchen for pepperoni and crackers walking to back of the store to pick up a couple of sub sandwichs. But I think I could win the peeing contest that Is If It means times and not distance

Sorry to interrupt such a cultured and scholarly flow of conversation, but I'd just like to say that I'll stick with GOOG long for the open on Tuesday.

p.s. And if I were not denied entry in the Scuttlebutt contest, I would probably play PBT long.

ray,
filling up the tank to capacity or more is definitely a characteristic that contestants need to address. years of wrist, elbow, and shoulder to eye cordination coupled with an enlarged bladder are the attributes that will make you a winner. i do believe that you would be a FORCE and one to be reckoned with in any peeing contest. your time and experience at it would also put you in the upper half of the draw. my hat is off to you ray and thanks for your interest and contribution to this important dialogue and event.
i think that duration, distance, and aim are a few of the catagories that all contestants will be judged on. other more technically advanced disciplines such as peanuts suggested, pee writing, should be placed in a separate catagory of their own and judged accordingly.
i also feel that age rather than youth could make a difference in the experience level, bladder enlargement, and in the more designer disciplines such as pee writing, use, control, and manipulation thru years of handling the pen will become the difference. of course some of the younger participants may standout as their continued love for and the love of handling the pen will definitely weigh in on their overall performance. it's a tough call but in the end i think age, experience, and use will be the factors that carry the most weight and will provide the winning characteristics. stick with your regimen ray.

In High School when I went on a recruiting trip I pee'd my girlfriend's name in the snow and took a picture...I have not seen her in many many years but I'm fairly certain that she framed it

Ray,
You make me proud to be a man.
