The House of Pagne Is Back!
After a lengthy (see date of last post) break, the One, The Only, The House of Pagne is open and ready for business.
With the recent launch of the "News 42 Ultimate Athlete" competition, I will be training for 4 weeks at the HOP. The challenge will consist of a bench press competition, a one rep max deadlift, a suicide sprint drill, a 100 yard dash, and finally a 2 mile run.
So far a group of people from work have said they are in. B-RAD, Weather Man, Moon Dogg, myself and possibly one or two others are in. The poster on this and other blogs who refers to himself as "Large Geet" has declined to enter, even after referring to me as a "300 pound slob". Apparently he realizes that his chubby frame would probably collapse if he entered, and he knows I would smoke him in the challenge.
Here's the email he sent out, after he said Wednesday that he was "in".
My strength is more than sufficient for my life's daily tasks and responsibilities..... and, my impressive endurance is only important in other areas of my life......... example: keeping up with the kids all day at Visionland, or simply keeping up with them at the pool on any given Summer day. However, I do feel I'd do decent in the quicker sprint-related competitions... since, of course, I always led my team in stolen bases in high school, I actually ran a 4.7 40-yard dash, and just like Goody's head-ache powder, I'm just plain fast! But, is that enough for me to spend some Saturday just to prove it?! I don't think so. Sincere and legitimate kudos to those who will train and prepare for this competition, and to those who just show up to give it a whirl with no preparation.... but, I hold no self worth in trying to prove that I'm "News 42's Ultimate Athlete".... unless, of course, there's some sort of legitimate prize or reward...... like, for instance, one monthly mortgage payment, a year's supply of gasoline, etc. In the meantime, let the derogatory e-mails begin from those who feel it necessary to challenge my decision and call me names. I will take it in stride, and lose no sleep over reading the insults. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go enjoy a delicious pile of doughnuts with a large glass of icy cold milk. Good luck to all!
My predictions:
Dortch wins all strength competitions and Waggles wins the speed and endurance challenges. Chuckle, chuckle.
P.S. I'll bet a Moon Pie and an RC Cola that some people reading this e-mail will find in necessary to hurl negative insults for my decision not to compete in this competition.... but, that's life, and I'm happy to be alive! Now, on to my doughnuts
I will be laughing, or maybe chuckling, when I win at least one of the running events...hope he has fun in the ER after slamming some fast food on his way to a third chin. One other thing, I have a feeling that when "Large Geet" lead his team in stolen bases, he was probably closer to 125 pounds than his present, post Sonic binge 185...I seriously doubt that "speed" would translate into anything better than third place in the sprint competition. He knows this and that is why he wont show up.
Anyway, I will be blogging my training regime and my progress. The House of Pagne lives, Fear The HOP!
