    5. Ahhh, totally forgot to update on Sunday! Ended up with about 102 miles!!! No prizes for me, but that's okay since I got my first marathon medal instead... Thanks for the challenge. I'll do some sort of race report when I finally get my act together.

    6. Yes! Ha ha ha Kovas. I am a winner. So I won a "CR" hat? Does that stand for Chris Rocks? I hope Andrew fills that pumpkin with candy this Halloween. Oh, and Kovas, I won.

    7. Your race was lots of fun! Thanks for putting it together! I love how the whole family was involved! Even Mickey! :D

    8. Yeah, your MOM won? THAT doesn't smell like a fix. This so-called "Andrew" who's pulling the names looks kinda shady to me. I know I've seen his face before ... Didn't he do time in Sing-Sing for some Ponzi scheme fraud? Or maybe I saw his picture on this very blog before.

      In either case, it doesn't inspire confidence in his honesty. I mean he's a known associate of Kanadians! And here in America, where the Constitution guarantees you the right to freedom of association, we DO NOT hesitate to judge people based on who they associate with. Because currently, we interpret "free association" to mean word association: i.e., "bread" ... Butter! ... "up" ... Down! "Kanadian" ... Shady!

      Yeah. You're free to do that kinda association ...

      Also, compared to my abs? The abs on the chick in this SpiBelt ad look like those of an Alabama Double-Wide Trailer-Dweller who ate nothing but Deep-Fried Chocolate-Covered Bacon her whole life.

      That said, I'd still let her do me. (Offer contingent upon what her face looks like since you can't see it in the ad. She comes with the SpiBelt, right?)

      (Which reminds me: Why didn't you give away a Lifetime Supply of Deep-Fried Chocolate-Covered Bacon as one of the prizes in this contest? It wouldn't've had to've been that much because the average life-span of a Deep-Fried Chocolate-Covered Bacon-eater is two weeks.)

      In conclusion, Woo-Hoo! I won!1!

      In your faces, the rest of you, even the other winners!1!

    11. Nice video. Clearly, Elvis has NOT left the building, nor progressed much beyond sleepy time.

      So let me get this straight...

      You did not have to run 10 of anything, neither miles, nor kilometers. You did not have to do it on 10-10-10. And then there were 18 "winners." With those "winners" were not determined by any skill or competition, but by random drawing?

      Hell, I did not enter, how come I did not win?

      ;)

      Your son is adorable. I will give you that.
