No, the fatty masters are giving the handsling to the pro-type racers. I
figure one fatty master ought to be able to sling a 130-lb pro about 100
yards, more if you could get them to put down their beer and donuts.
Bicycle racing would become a cross between "World's Strongest Man,"
"Rollerball," and dwarf tossing. If we could figure out a way to get some
topless chicks in there, it could be huge, and there's always a way to get
topless chicks in somewhere.
