I know this is off topic but will probably interest our members in the
Philadelphia area. Tonight on Comcast Sportsnet, between 10 and
11PM, I will be on a segment called "I Beat Pete". Pete Christy,
one of their sportscasters, has an event where people challenge
him to their favorite sport. I would love to say this was a chile
eating contest but some of you already knoe that I make
boomerangs.
Pete actually called me and asked to do the challenge. He traveled
to Allentown two weeks ago, I taught him to throw and catch and
we did a challenge in two events. I won both and get to say on
camera "I Beat Pete". Some of you in the area may want to watch
a overweight, 50 year old guy with bad knees, beat a younger more
agile guy. Pete has 15 wins and 14 losses this year so winning
was a big deal. He went on to beat a guy in the Viking game Kubb,
right after our challenge and onnly need 8 minutes to do it.
To make this a little more chile related: My wife and I are having a
50-50 Bday party (we both turn 50) and decided to uses hot sauce
for party favors. We bought some hot sauce, stripped off the labels
and applied our own. My wife's says: "Barb's 50th Birthday Hot
Flashes Hot Sauce, It's not just me, It is hot in here!". Our friends
who really know us will get a kick out of it.
