Well, the ONLY thing I personally know, is I am willing to put up the money TODAY.....
The ONLY single reason that this race wont happen is if John Irving backs out of a gauntlet HE has thrown down....PERIOD. Make no mistake he was the one that came up with the Idea , I simply added participation for others and set terms of a check made out in advance so there was no "funny business", I have heard NOTHING back on Format of the wager, NOTHING. IF, and I am not saying he is backing down, its entirley possible he is busy with day to day items that need his attention, so Im not going to assume I know why he hasnt replied, and contrary to my personal feelings I will as I do with everyone give him the benefit of the doubt. IF though IF he does fail to follow through the gauntlet he has thrown, its on HIS Head, his alone. Not on mine, and I am willing and ready to continue it without him. Cash talks bull**** walks....I am willing to 100% BACKUP What I say 100% Right NOW ! If he isnt well then I am sure he will come up with some self justification excuse that I wasnt serious, or this that or the other. Not my problem, I am putting this out for anyone to participate in that would like, seems like a good thing to do. The more I think about it, the more I think that OTHERS who wish to participate should NOT be held to the $1000 that John suggested and I agreed to IF he would make the Terms clear. Instead, why not this ? John Irving and I put up $1000 Each, ANYONE else who would like to run puts up a Minimum contribution of $100 , They can put up MORE if they choose, BUT it will be kept under wraps for privacy. Only the "Stake Holder" will know who put up how much money. And he will then return as I said in the prior post the amount to the winner that they put in, or they can choose to simply donate it as well. $1000 seems way too steep for some others, But I think others would be game for a lesser amount, they shouldnt be chased away from a $ perspective even though their intents are pure. Childrens Cancer at a Non-Profit Hospital ? Where all the money goes direct ? No overhead ? I know of a couple orgizations in that arena. Or better yet, a list where the Winner can choose from, I think thats reasonable. Well put some education on the list, some health, some humaintarian charities. Seem reasonsable to me.... Quote:
