More Aspelle
Contenders Weigh-in
Peer-pressure resulted in a raft of new contestants wishing to weigh-in
for what people are now calling "The Greatest Competition on Earth".
10 more contenders from Aspelle took
to the scales on a sunny, but slightly cloudy, Friday afternoon to find
their ranking in the Hall of Fat. Previous contender for
the title Alex Horan only manages a minor weight gain from last years
weigh-out weight putting him in a difficult position to challenge the title,
but if prizes are being award to most distended stomach on display they must
go to new boy Tom Parker - is he pregnant? A mention must
also go to Richard Oppong who, unhappy with his BF rating of 25%, attempted
to persuade the weigh-in adjudicator that he really is taller than 5ft
5inches - come on Rich - accept it - you're not. The 25 % stands.
And congratulations to Suzanne the one and only Aspelle Lady to brave the
rigors of Six Pack Competition - good luck !

Aspelle Contenders Weigh-in
Wednesday 1st May 2002 saw some real heavy weights in the sport of
6-pack competition weigh-in. Topping the scales at a colossal 18st
6.5 lbs, the self-proclaimed 'Italian Stallion', Tony Verdigi, proved that a
diet of pizza and pasta is sufficient for entry to serious sumo
competition. But, not to be outdone, Aspelle's 'Technology
Evangelist' Dave 'Ten-bellies' Tarrant stepped up to the scales to set a
new world record (for 6-pack competition) percentage body fat of 37% !!
Other note-worthies included Vijay Ojha with a respectable 35% body fat -
blaming the fact that he has given up smoking. Further research
discovered that he gave up 6 years ago - proving the old adage that if a
good excuse works once, keep using it .... forever. At the other end
of the scales Flower Flowers demonstrated that, being able to get very drunk
on 2 pints of weak lager means that you can't get fat, by weighing-in at 12st
3lbs and 14% BF. For all the stats have a look at the
contenders page here. (Children
please note: These men are at the top of their sport - they live to be
large just to have the opportunity to compete in weight-loss competitions
such as The Six Pack Competition 2002. Being fat seriously damages
your health - do not try to get fat at home, wait until you are old enough
to go to the pub.)

Anticipation Builds
A day of intense anticipation has not yet yielded to the excitement of the
6-pack weigh-in - the final scoffing of McDonalds, the final pints of full
strength lager await the time when the weigh-in can actually be performed.
Every amount of effort has been spent on being heavy! And what will
the outcome be - nobody knows - early indications suggest that Mr D-C may
be taking the best improver after a pre-weigh in test weight suggested a
weigh-in of 13st 3lbs - a considerable number. And the
competition is spiced this year by a new set of 'Tanita' scales that not
only test weight, but also gives an indication of body fat percentage.
Surprising figures show that out of the Hardy brothers the always assumed
'body', sprightly Edward, may actually be usurped of the vainglorious title
by the sloppy shoulder IT nerd Matthew. Who demonstrated a
pre-weigh-in fat mass of 15% compared to the younger siblings 16%!
But the big question remains will any one else actually turn up ???
