Stenzrob flipped his COIN into the fountain, closed his eyes and made his wish. Just give me enough gas in the tank for one more week. there weren't many that had accompolished winning this contest two consequtive weeks in a row. he wanted to be one of the few in number to do so. besides the recognition, he rather enjoyed signing all those bra straps. he was going to have to buy another pen. should he buy two more. three weeks in a row wasn't out of the question but had anyone done it before. 1st place to start the new week. he could get used to this. the young lady with her blouse pulled off to the side was asking him to initial her strap. how could he deny such a pretty young thing.
big ernie was feeling much better after losing so much ground the week before. in the final days of the preceding week he had lost alot of ground just when it was looking so promising. falling back to his initial entry point after the close last week had dashed much of his enthusiasm. 16% was looking pretty far away and with the downtrend looking strong his hopes were flickering at the opening bell as the market looked to move farther down. but he had also flipped a coin into the well and the ball had landed on his number. the markets reversed and BOOM's price along with it. he was thinking of the young ladies and a bright red felt tipped pen. should he sign it Ernie or perhaps just an EB would suffice. maybe the "HUGE ONE" would leave them wondering what he meant by that. maybe even the "HUGE HAIRY ONE" would leave them questioning even moreso. but all ernie really wanted was 16%. just a measley 16 stinkin percent.
even though he had finished the day in 3rd place peanuts was still down in the dumps. louetta had refused to leave the base camp in Katmandu to spend the week with him in the Phillipines. he had envisioned a week of bathing and soaking up the sun with her on a remote atoll just off the coast of the Phillipine mainland. for weeks he had planned his agenda and had taken the liberty of making all the logistical preparations. he just hadn't counted on her refusing his invitation. now he was going to have to find other avenues to fill this empty feeling he had. maybe he would try out one of those clubs that advertised young nubile ladies of the night. but it just wasn't the same without her. was he letting his feelings go to far? after all she was just a chick. still he couldn't take his mind off those shoulders.
in 4th place was the ICEMAN. he wasn't thinking of anything but overtaking the three in front of him and maybe a little bit about signing a bra strap or two. but he would never admit to it. after all he was supposed to be as "cold as ice" and would never admit to anything but. he could hardly contain himself at the thought of overtaking everyone by weeks end.
Billyjoe, Karel, and the NewBorn one were bunched up in 5th, 6th, and 7th within a couple of percentage points of one another and the rest of the pack was strung out behind them. each and everyone of them had their own aspirations for the week. day one was in the can and each could only hope this would be their week.
Skiracer knowing that this was going to be his last week of responsibilities rolled up a fatty, poured 4 fingers of Gran Marnier, and let his imagination run rampant as he took that first long pull on the fatty and sipped from his glass. him and ray long were going to polish off this bottle and a six pack or two or maybe three tonight and let the chips fall where they may. they weren't thinking of women or stocks or anything but that sweet glow of oblivion.
Louetta, alone in her tent, high in the mountains of Nepal was laying naked under a thick cover of snow leopard skins, reading her signed first edition of the "Tibetian Book of the Dead". her ascent on K2 would begin in the morning. outside it was snowing like there would be no tomorrow. but she knew there always was. she could see the sherpas were moving about in the blizzard making the last of the necessary preparations. she did have her eye on one of them.
and the scorecard please: btw NP = no play made:

it looks like you're right Jiesen. an oversight on my part. sorry about that and i'll try to make the adjustment this morning. if not I'll at least acknowledge the mistake on my part and correct the standings for your sake. sorry. you'll see how easy this type of thing will happen. maybe not. i'll take care of it.

As posted earlier i overlooked Jiesen's true total and finish. he should be +.15 and +6.12%. this would put him in 2nd place and back up everone else one position, except for Stenzrob who is solidly entrenched in 1st place. sorry jiesen and everyone else. get your pen out jiesen. there are several stock groupies who collect signatures and are looking for yours. i understand it is going to become a collectable in time.
ray, got you covered buddy.
