Vote for your Favorite Feat of Strength

28 12 2008

I’ve realized I can’t do this alone so I’m going to have to put it to a vote.

Here are the top four in the running:

Corvus: I walked somewhere between 700 and 980 miles in less than two months in East Africa this summer, braving man eating ants, man eating lions, armed bandits, malaria, giardia (you so don’t get a picture of that one), blisters inside blisters, equipment failures, puff adders, cobras, chameleons, really big and friendly bugs, the bus and lots and lots of small children to hand out mosquito nets.

Sandra: I am successfully homeschooling my dyslexic son with a completely logic based, secular curriculum. A feat of strength made stronger as I am a single parent (who is not on welfare).

postsimian: I just scored a 4.0 taking 12 credit hours (4 classes) while working full time, taking care of a 17-month old and taking care of an 8-months pregnant wife, and this is right after commuting an hour to work for 8 months then moving 43 miles closer to work a week before classes started. Next semester, I’m already registered for 16 credit hours (5 classes and a lab). /me flexes

Geoff: I dragged around TWO Union contractors today and actually got about 4 hours work out of them (over an 8 hour shift). Now, that is strength! *flex*

You have swapped Corvus and Sandra in the vote-list with respect to their appearance in the text. Although, swapping candidates is a typical american trait, isn’t it? :-p

Watch it or I’ll rig it so that I win even though I’m not a candidate. Now THAT’S American. :)
