So How's This for Coming Outta Left Field?

New, legally appropriate measures of hazing have evolved, apparently. While certainly better than the kind of hazing that used to occur, it is nonetheless a shock to learn of the new methods. Particularly in the form of your lovely fiance coming home and announcing, with some trepidation, that he has been volun-told by his rugby team to enter an upcoming Mr. Universe contest. This contest includes, but will not be limited to, a drinking contest, a pick-up line contest, an eveningwear contest, and of course, a swimsuit competition.

Eventually, the hysterical laughter subsided. We will be prepping for this ahead of time -- I mean, how cool would it be if he won!? -- but in the meantime, I thought you might get a chuckle out of this. I know I sure did. ;-)

Good luck Dave! I hope to see you after the competition at our place for celebration, a game or two of poker, some guitar playing and lots of laughs. cheers Nat

You bet you'll see him later, but his level of sobriety might be dubious. ;-)

Hehehe, right now we're deciding about the bathing suit. Dave does have nice, new surfer shorts, which are a definite option, but does not own a speedo.

What he DOES own is a pair of stylish (opaque and Speedo-like) boxer-briefs we bought in Montreal -- bright pink with red piping -- on which I have since fabric-painted in blue and gold, "Humey". (It's a long story.)

Votes, anyone?

Can hardly wait to read all about the results of Mr. Universe. My vote just HAS to go with the surfer shorts. While not as revealing perhaps, I fear speedos or anything resembling them will no doubt lead to Dave's eternal regret. Remember Dave...you can NEVER take it back!!
