I not only have lost to Gunnar but to his wife. Betsy needs inducted as well I think.

From the not-at-all dubious wikipedia entry....


"Gunnar Shogren is the East Coast's premier geriatric bicycle racer. He also founded the Gunnar Bicycle Company, but abandoned the company in a fit of pique. Additionally, he is known for his inability to tell the truth. If Shogren tells the truth Satan kills a kitten. This is part of Gunnar's deal with the devil, which has allowed him to ride like a young man well into his 80's."
