Extended hypothetical question:
If you see a commuter going along slowly on a bicycle, and think you can catch up, do you catch up and try to get them to race you?
Most of the time, I live in a city, and some days, I'll race anything that moves, including people on bicycles, city buses, and leafs blowing in the wind. |

Sounds like fun! I'd say do it.
Now this has me thinking, hypothetical-like and all - If that hot guy running at the park last night would have asked me to join him, would I have been able to keep up with his fast (yet appearing effortless) pace?  |

| My instinct would be to race, but hopefully sanity would take over. I'm sure I'd pull something trying a stunt like that. |

My guess is you'd reach DumpCON 1 (btw, shouldn't it really be DumpCON 2? Just sayin') well before the race was deturdmined, er, determined.
And yeah, run 'til someone pukes is the correct answer here. |

Good question. I had assumed that DumpCON-1 meant that defecation was imminent and urgent, but perhaps it makes more sense for it to mean that defecation is actually occurring, and have DumpCON-2 mean imminent and unavoidable.
OK, back after a little Wikipaedia research:
DEFCON-1: This refers to maximum readiness. It is not certain whether this has ever been used, but it is reserved for imminent or ongoing attack on US military forces or US territory by a foreign military power.
So you can be at DEFCON-1 without launching ICBM's. Based on this, I reserve DUMPCON-1 for an imminent or ongoing bout of defecation. I'll get back to you on the rest of the scale. |

Excellent research, kind sir! BTW, I now use DumpCON terminology every day, which amuses me greatly.
My wife? Not so much. |

I play race the bus all the time. I even try to make eye contact with the driver (or with passengers if the driver won't play) so that they know we're racing.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
And yes, racing, especially against inanimate objects that don't stand a chance against me, is always good for sparking up a run.

Yes, and assuming she was young, had a nice butt and was wearing lycra she would win by a short distance. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be so I'd have to keep fairly close. |
