'stache cross is on

The honorary race director.


In the confusion created by Tomek's absence, Ian stepped up to the plate last night and grabbed the mustache by the horns. Previous attempts to dissociate himself from this event are a distant memory, and he's now clearly the boss. A few declarations were uttered. No one was willing to challenge his authority. So it appears these are the rules. There will be no weekly payments. The race is about pride--or lack thereof. The finish line is the Bourkvale Community Centre at the kickoff to the RedAss 300 0n June 8. In the event of multiple finishers, a celebrity judge will be brought in to determine the winner. Fred Penner will be given the first opportunity to fill this post. Given that nobody actually ante'd up, it's not entirely clear who is participating in the race. But hopefully by next week there will some evidence of who's in and who's out. As for me, it may well be a couple of weeks before evidence is discernible. But I'm in.

Way too early, Jonny. I don't know what Tom was thinking in talking about 9pm. Show up next Tuesday no earlier than 10pm and someone will be there. Post-hockey crowd shows up at 11 or so. Sorry about the confusion.
