P.S. For regions or areas with considerably more or considerably fewer participants than Bellingham, Washington (we have about 230 registered Wrimos), the region with the highest average wordcount will win. If you would like your region to challenge Bellingham, just make sure you tell me which region I should add to the list."
WHAT SAY YOU, PULLMANITES!?

Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Pullman, of Palouse, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered pencils, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we WRITE! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of EASTERN WASHINGTON!
Err... in case no one got that, I say we go for it!!

................................................................. All these words are too big for me (They'd be too big for you, too, if you had nightmares about phosphofructokinase). But, seeing as the peer pressure is too great for me, I'll cave and say sure.
Because.... Bellingham? I'm sure we can whip them. Easy! What's 230 against.... 10? We can so do it.
