Now for some reason, Praseeta refused to accept the group punishment as not to frighten his newborn baby girl. Instead he agreed to the loser sign (see note for punishment #1 above) being plastered on two side of his car for one month. Sooooo.. Between Nov 8th 2005 and Dec 7th 2005, if you see this guy on a street in the Tucson area without the "I'm a Loser" sign on his call & alert us!
! Contest Rules Violation !
AAll the guys agreed on the punishment for loosing, the bleached hair, all of us. But for unspecified reasons - Praseeta Mundayattu flat out refused to commit to this, but did say he would at least do the benign "I'm a Loser" sign on his car for a month, in fact he said "I'll do the sign on my car, no problem". Ok reluctantly we all felt if that’s all your willing to do, then ok....whatever.. So a day after the contest Jason, Nick, and Brandon completed their hair as promised. The last little thing was for Praseeta Mundayattu to put the tiny "I'm a Loser" sign on his car. The sign was put on as agreed and Praseeta removed that day! It was reapplied (by unknown folk) and again removed by Praseeta. "I'll do the sign on my car, no problem" was still ringing in our heads. We can't make him do what he promised and honor his own words but we can simulate it... and allow the world to see it! <We will remove this if you honor your agreement!> Ok let repeat his name for all you search engines..... Do quotes make a differnce?.... What about a few pictures....

Brett - His entry was very military looking. Custom machined pieces, ten foot pump welded steel levers, ballasted by the weight of a Ford F-250(great use for it) and a high speed pressure pump into an air ram cylinder spelled trouble for us. Well let’s see, recap. The machine was a clear winner but it refused to fire a second time. Two hours later, Brett got it to fire one more time but that ceased to beat Nick's best shot. 
Well eventually all good times must come to an end and the unfortunates must pony up to whatever fate had been agreed upon. For all the guys that didn’t take first place in either of the contests(distance or accuracy), they must bleach their hair as light as possible. Since we all have dark brown hair, bleach/dye/peroxide or whatever will render unpredictable & most likely undesirable results. Brandon has yet to fire so he still has a chance to not be the "Lame Horse" unless he beats Brett's monster 360yrd long shot. Oh - here is Nick with his post event, golden coif. Well done, you may keep your honor. Now Jason had a slight bleaching mishap where the beach job was barely noticeable. We are all SURE he is giving it that full college try on the second attempt..
