it is a pleasure to roll out another Baby Contest, in honor of the arrival of our brother, Frank's, grandson. The new addition is expected to debut by July1.

Congrats, Mentsch!

I will put together a fiver of decent cigars to the person who comes closest to guessing the total length and weight of the baby. The total will be the number of inches added to the weight, in ounces, at birth. For example, if the baby is 20 inches long and 6 lbs 2 oz at birth, the total guess is 20 + (6 x 16) + 2 = 118

for a possible tie-breaker, take a stab at the time and date of arrival.

One guess per person. All guesses must be in by midnight Thursday, 6/24, or before the birth of the bouncing baby boy, whichever is first.


May mother and child be blessed!








don't forget: tie-breaker!!!


edit: guesses accepted until the day before the baby pops out!!!

Congratulations on two, I got six. It's sure fun loading them with sweets, and then send them home. They'll always want to visit granpop.

Evan Zachary.
His Hebrew names are for his two uncles no longer with us, my son and SIL's brother.
I'm a bit of an emotional wreck about that part...

Quick glance through thread and poor numbahs skills so take this with several grains of salt. I believe Stinger and I tied with me 1 over and him 1 under, but then he went and guessed the correct due date for the bouncing baby boy, so that should make David the winner (pending confirmation by sharper brains than this one)

Congrats to Frank and his family for their new edition/addition, EZ, Ezra Zion....some great cigars coming from there...

ohh...it's Ed Zachary? of course....

uhh............Evan Zachary.....to be precise...


glad that Momma and son are healthy and happy!




confirming SOB's speculation...seems we had two guesses that were within one of the total of 139 = [(7 x16) + 6 + 21]

SOB guessed 140.... tie breaker; 6/28

stinger guessed 138....tie breaker; 6/30 <-------WINNER!!!

congrats to stinger, and to Frank and his family
