The state of the EHBS

Status: dying, but not dead, i.e. I'm still single, Bob's still single, Graham and Brad are still single. However, the impending loss of RyJo weighs upon our once mighty shoulders. The blueness of this winter has undoubtedly compounded my frustrations, but still I manage to exist, excel, and sleep well at night. One never knows, this may be my last Day of Valentines as a member of good standing within the EHBS*. Only time will tell, or perhaps Desmond could tell me. Hmm. Regardless, this Vday, for me, will be spent in class, running and celebrating the greatness of LOST. If you really want to be my Valentine, give me a call, I'll see what I can do.

Anyway, since I didn't post the most recent odds directly after they were established, I figured that today was such a day to do so. These were compiled on New Year's Day with the help of Bobby Ogata-Grothendick and Ryan Rockford Johnson. Do enjoy.

To become engaged
RyJo 3-2
Pranga 4-1
Bob 7-1
Travis 9-1
Graham 10-1
Nate Britcher 11-1
Zab 13-1
D. Bradley 15-1

To become pregnant (approximately, cause that'd be weird)
Gates (2nd) 3-1
Martins (3rd) 4-1
Boes 7-1
Gustines (2nd) 8-1
Grabhers 8-1
Morrisons 9-1
Overbays 11-1
Britchers 20-1
Pai's 30-1

The more astute readers of this blog will note that our last odds [Reigle engaged, Gustines with child] were dead on. Also noted, my odds remained at 9-1 while RyJo took the obvious place as favorite. But I'm going to see what I can do to pull off the come-from-behind victory. All I really need is two weeks, right? Right. you have my love.


* For the Unawares, the EHBS is the Evangelical Homiletic Bachelors Society, founded on Vday in oh-one. Of the four founding fathers, only I stand in good standing - Andrew and Matthew iVan are married, whilst RyJo is seemingly headed to the same end. Go Bears.
