Race For The Prize
















You're looking at the final two competitors from tonight's Scripps National Spelling Bee. It was high drama this evening as these two bright young women matched wits. I somehow found time to break away from the educational action to ask,

"Which one of these chicks is going to lose their virginity first?"

On our left, the winner, New Jerseyan Katharine "Kerry" Close. The bio on the Scripps website states:
This fall she plans to attend High Technology High School, which specializes in science, mathematics, and technology. Kerry enjoys listening to music and reading. An avid runner, she likes to run on the boardwalk near her home. She enjoys training her Maltese puppy, Danny.
On our right, the runner up in our NATIONAL spelling bee, CANADIAN Finola Hackett. Her bio says:
She plays piano, fiddle, and accordion and has studied Irish dance for 10 years. Soccer, badminton, and swimming are her athletic endeavors; and she makes and sells beaded jewelry as a hobby. Finola likes Italian and Asian cuisine, especially anything with noodles. She reads fantasy and Agatha Christie novels.
They are about the same age - both are in 8th grade.

Place your bets! Be sure to support your argument.

It's Finola without a doubt. As evidenced with her hobbies of swimming and dance, she's comfortable with her body; she likes to suck down Italian noodles; and she's prettier, and she's Canadian. Swimming + Italian noodles + Canadian = loss of virginity at age 16.

The other girl is going to a tech school. Regardless of whether she wants to get laid or not, can you imagine one of those uber-nerds even attempting a move until at least college? Not me. I hope that Kerry's patient, because she's not losing her virginity before she's legal.

I keep going back and forth on this. On one hand, Canadians are a liberal bunch. On the other hand, the Canadian reads fantasy novels. Do you know any ladies that read fantasy novels AND were a hit with the boys? Me neither. So the advantage, I think, lies with our champion, whose blond locks and newfound fame will win her this race.
