Now that the racing season is over, I've been looking around at *different* types of competitions:

And I've discovered that those wacky folks in Maine have started up <u>"The North American Wife Carrying Championship".</u>

Normally, I'm not that interested in athletic events, but the winner wins his wife's weight in beer.
Obviously, the *real* qustion is: "What brand of beer?". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

Hmmm? I wonder if they have a "Senior Division"?
(Note: Sinners welcome!...you don't technically have to be "married".)

Which beer?? Westvleteren

Since they would have to go to Belgium to pick it up, I doubt that would be on their list. In that case, opt for anything made by Sierra Nevada. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thirsty.gif

Edit: So what's the stagergy?? Small, light wife, or a real hippo to maximize winnings?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
carry the skinny minni across the finnish line stumble and have the twin sister "the hippo" fall on top of you screaming "we won, we won" to maximize yield! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

How about a currently ongoing International Championship: Elephant Polo

Scotland have done quite well at it... as anyone might expect. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
 
I've seen elephant soccer, but never polo. Interesting.

OK, now if you could win the elephant's weight in beer, *then* you'd have a contest! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
I'm IN!!

...but a bit curious: How do you saddle an elephant?
 
With a long ladder.
 
WAX ONE!!!

...keyboard.

Re: For DocE and his little problem

But Alan, it says nothing about being "beerproof." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
