| THE LAST KNOWN PIC OF "MR. BIG", IN SITU |
A few words about Mr. Big, our prize rutabaga. First, he is a quitter. For weeks he added an inch of circumference every seven days, until he reached a corpulent 21" plus. And then he just gave up. Shame, Mr. Big! Shame!
Second, Mr. Big is a fraud! Almost all of his bulk was above ground. What is up with that, Mr. Big? Perhaps we will call you "Biggy Smalls" henceforth.
But still, it might be interesting to guess his weight (already recorded). Here, such as they are, are the rules.

Okay, Mac, now I never would have guessed the right weight of Mr.Big without seeing him in sunglasses, so I'll stick with my original guess of 7 lbs. 7 oz.
ReplyDeleteIf that's not correct, or if my early guess was disqualified because 'no rules is good rules', and because he's been sitting on a cement block eating yellow boules, , I bet he now weighs 10 lbs 6 oz. (With sunglasses) bwahhaahahaha!
He informs me that since he's been sportin' "sunglasses" he has become a "chick magnet".
ReplyDeleteI think he is a lyin' sack of compost, myself.
WOW, he's a big one as was Justin at birth- although not as big as Brandon at 11 lbs, 9 oz. So I think Mr. Big is closer to Justin. My guess then is 9 lbs, 7oz.
ReplyDelete11,9??? Bigger than you, almost!
ReplyDeleteI am going with 8 pounds 13 ounces ... that is what my son weighed at birth lol
ReplyDeleteLovin' these guesses!
ReplyDeleteGotta think about it some more...I'll be back :)
ReplyDeleteI think 4 pounds an 5 ounces.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with 3 lbs. Just 3. No oozes.
ReplyDeleteIs Biden's brain the white squiggly stuff poopin' out the bottom?
I'm glad we were spared the oozes!
ReplyDeleteWell you had me going every which way with this - even pulled out my tape measure and put a potato on the bathroom scale...I'm going with 3 lbs 1 oz...Biden's brain threw me a bit - so much fluff, so little substance...
ReplyDelete2 lbs, 6 ounces which is twice the size of my own brain.
ReplyDeleteWow, Dan, we expect you to become at least a Senator!
ReplyDeleteGloria McCloud guesses 5 pounds on the noserooski.
W. Diane Van Zwol guesses 25 lbs!
ReplyDeleteSharon Rusk says 3 lbs. 8 oz.
ReplyDeleteI'll guess 6 lbs 7 oz
ReplyDeleteMac, my gardener better half, the one and only smart wendyleetoo@gmail.com guesses it's 9 lbs 8 oz, with the skin and greens..hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteVery nice Raymond most illuminating and I'm sure useful for something, not however, for this contest. Please consult the potentate of the potato and inquire as what she thinks the greenless 'baga as pictured (skin on, greens off) might weigh?
ReplyDeleteMac,our Wendyleetoo, my model gardener better half still suggests Mr.Big is 9 lbs. 8 oz. exactly as pictured, which although sporting chick magnet sunglasses and knowing how to perch upon cement blocks, does not have enough green hair left to alter the weight submitted. ":)
ReplyDelete9 lb. 8 oz. it is, as the excitement knows no bounds!
ReplyDeleteMac... I've hardly ever been good with guessing weights, but I'll go with 6 lbs and 6 ounces. And you HAVE to tell me I'm right, or I'd be VERY disappointed. :(
ReplyDelete(puppy dog eyes) - Mac, please tell me I won, pretty please.
LOL
Linda Basile dsays 8 lbs, no more, no less.
