Calling All Action Junkies

As I was flying to Austin last night, generally pondering the state of my life, I realized that I hav become an out-of-shape sluggard. But having been down this road before, I also realized that my stick-to-it-iveness can be sorely lacking when it comes to exercise. As my plane was passing over Norman OK and I was waving to Maudie at the Riverwind Casino, thinking about how long it will be before I see people in Vegas, inspiration struck.

Thus was born the Great Weight Gain Prop Bet of 2007. This is where you people come in.

The bet is simple. Even money that I can't gain 17 pounds by Thursday December 6, 2007, the day I leave to meet everyone in Vegas.

A few things to note:

1. There are 11 1/2 weeks til Vegas. I have no idea if this is a realistic goal. I intended to consult with our resident workout expert (Bad Blood) but it didn't happen.

2. I come from a thin family, though I am the thinnest.

3. The most I have ever weighed is 135. Due to some recent events, I am currently only 125. That means my target is a personal high.

4. The first baseline official weigh-in will be Monday night.

5. I am accepting ALL action in comments to this post until next Friday. Consider this your chance to busto me.

Have at it.
