[And now for something completely different :] The Warren G. Harding Administraction Presents… WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO [Wheaties] ? Yes, and for that matter, what ever happened to WHEAT? “The Breakfast of Champions” is very likely on the brink of extinction; just like normal wheat, healthy wheat, wheat grown in non-genetically-mutated fields by as-yet...
[Think of me as your “fly on the wall.” I buzz around coffeehouses and breakfast nooks listening to all you amazing (and tired) ultra-long-distance runners COMPLAIN—after finishing your long runs on weekend mornings—about stuff… like flies. Think of me also as having a fly-sized tape recorder. Hmmm… do they still even make “tape recorders”? Anyway,...
[Why should men be the only “geniuses”?] Ingelhook Wineries present… REAL WOMEN OF GENIUS {Real gals of geeeeeene-yuss} Today we raise our goblets to you, Mrs. “Run to Daddy, Children, He’s Doing the Trail Ultra” Lady. {Drop ’em off and let ’em run to poppaaaaaaaaaaaa!} Sure, you think it’ll be a nice surprise.

[Having returned from Tennessee and, of course, “That Event” which took place over the past 3-day weekend, I’ve been convalescing in my shellshock ever since. I have struggled mightily to understand the phenomenon, but have ultimately given up in despair of ever unraveling the “mystery”; and so I now give you this, as follows,...
[Live from Chi-Town: “It’s BAD JOKE FRIDAY NIGHT!!!” And then there’s this: I feel I don’t owe any more grateful acknowledgements to playwright and screenwriter David Mamet. His funny-sex-dialogue shtick that “inspired me” only lasted for one scene of one play (“Sexual Perversity in Chicago”); my shtick is continuing ad infinitum. Hah. In case you...
[Our friend Stu Gibeau suggested this one.] Bud Light presents… REAL MEN OF GENIUS {Real men of geeeeeene-yuss} Today we toast you, Mr. Can’t Figure Out How To Quit The List Guy. {Mister how-do-I-find-my-way-out-of-a-wet-paper-bag guyyyyyyyyyyyyy!} If it was a barn, you could not read what’s written on it. Not on the narrow side, not...

[Wow. What Ever happened to Winter in the Midwest? It left early this year! And in its wake it left all this trash in my yard that the snow used to hide. Reminds me how ultras in the woods have changed, too–for the worse. Too many peeps, methinks, have been counting too long on snow...
[Sorry for the week off, but at this time during last week’s “Bad Joke Friday,” I was taking on some real heat along a footrace course in New Jersey. Totally uncharacteristically, NJ was HOT AS HELL last weekend, and some kind folks were wondering why I chose THAT, instead of sitting in air-conditioning and writing...
Bud Light presents… REAL MEN OF GENIUS {Real men of geeeeeene-yuss} Today we salute you, Mr. Trail-Ultra-Scouting Hunter/Tracker/Poacher Dude. {Mister grrrrrrreat old redneck fan of “The Deer Hunter” movieeeeee!!!} You have no idea why runners do this, but you’re pretty sure that two-legged idiots in not much clothing attract lots of wildlife and probably...

[Freshly, or UNfreshly, back from my special “treat to beat my feet on the Mississippi MUD,” I feel UNspired today to rap about PAVEMENT–and thank the good load for it, too! And thanks otherwise to today’s listserv chatterings on this very topic as well. ;-] The Reagan Administraction Presents… WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO [“Road Races”]...
