I always get a kick out of people asking "How long is THIS marathon?" when you say you're in training, but now it's becoming more clear why they might be confused. Check out this race in Chicago:
The most hilarious line is "Feel the excitement of 13.1 miles in just 3!" If only I'd known about this, I could have experienced the highs and lows of 26.2 on a 2 mile walk and saved myself that 4 hour run! Plus, you get a medal when you finish and that means you're a winner.
Don't get me wrong, I think 5Ks are freaking hard, but it's not the same as running 13 or 26 miles. It's not supposed to be the same! At least those 5K marathons don't take all day, right?

In my constant quest of putting toys away, it's almost impossible to not set off every single one that makes noise as you go, but I've never had anything this hilarious happen. I do keep Elmo and Cookie Monster in the same bin though...

It makes me wish that I could text with Peanut.
This picture of our attempt to have Faith get her face painted. You can't fake a look of disgust like that:
 |
| Stop choking me Mommy! |
Faith's favorite activity is making me read aloud every single book she owns on a daily basis and no matter how many times I do it, I can't read this page without giggling.

| Creepy story about an overbearing mother |

| Hehehe |
Lastly, my newest source of amusement is Betty White's new show of old people pranking young people. The latest episode had a skit with cursing old lady nuns and I almost fell off the couch laughing.
Because I'm so nice, here's the link to the Hulu page so you can check out the first 3 episodes if you missed them. You're welcome.
What has been amusing you lately?
You cannot put "marathon" in the title if it's only 3 miles! That should be illegal. I forgot to start recording Off their Rockers. It looks pretty funny so thanks for the Hulu link :).
ReplyDeleteIf you feel you haven't given competitor enough money, they also host an overpriced RnR 10k in NYC.
ReplyDeleteCookie Monster is dirty. I don't blame Faith...doesn't the face paint brush sort of tickle? It's been a long time since I've had my face painted though. Your bunny-blow-me page reminds me of Arrested Development's Tobias Funke: "I think I just blue myself." (yes I spelled it that way on purpose).
My uncle today put up a FB status that he and my aunt walked a 5k marathon. It makes me want to choke someone. A marathon and a 5k are two TOTALLY different things!
ReplyDeleteAlso "if you blow me". You KNOW that author knew what they were doing.
I'm pretty sure "easily amused" is my middle name. That's probably why we're friends.
that video is great! i'm easily amused by any type of bathroom humor, just like a 5th grade boy.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what wind is a euphemism for?
ReplyDeleteI've seen a different "mini marathon" and it drives me crazy. I think the only exception to that rule would be a kid's run called a mini marathon on the same day as, you know, an ACTUAL marathon.
ReplyDeleteOMG! That video is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI have a co-worker that kept going about one day walking a "5k marathon." I politely corrected her and she continued to call it that. I went off on her and it wasn't pretty.
I love that video! That has got to be the funniest thing I've seen all day! Yup, easily amused!
ReplyDeleteI did a kinda sorta similar post today :) There is this youtube video that's gone viral that absolutely kills me. I've been watching it a lot, just to make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, blow me.
ReplyDeleteA 5K is not a marathon. UGH.
ReplyDeleteFaith's expression is priceless!
the dog text blog is KILLING me
ReplyDelete5Ks are great, but are pretty much nothing like a half and I assume a marathon - just call it a 5K!
ReplyDeletegoing to go check out that Betty White show now :)
I know a mini marathon is another term for a half marathon, but a 5K? Ridic. Anyways, I started cracking up at that line from The Runaway Bunny because I am way too immature to be a parent.
ReplyDeleteThat mini marathon is absurd! Why would you do that?? I mean, I wouldn't run a 26.2mi race and call it a GIANT 5k!
ReplyDeleteMini marathon is less than 3 miles? WTF? I thought mini marathon would be a half. Two weeks ago I had a coworker tell me about the marathon they did a few years ago, it was one of those 10K or something and they walked it but never again. I strangely enjoyed the Elmo/Cookie monster video.
ReplyDeleteTexts from Dog is the greatest website ever.
ReplyDeleteNow the racing companies are enabled non runners with this crap? Unacceptable. There is a ton of inappropriate stuff and TWSS moments in kid's books. Also, a student wrote in his journal last week that his family visited Vagina Beach over spring break. Sounds like quite a vacation.
ReplyDeleteI am proud to have introduced you to many of these time wasting sites on the intertubes.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA. I just busted out laughing at both the "mini marathon" (Um, what? Who knew I could run a marathon?!) and the "blow me" part of the bunny book.
ReplyDeleteWe have that on our bookshelf and Owen has never picked it up. Thanks to you, I will now never be able to read it with a straight face.
Oh my god. Love x a million the Texts from the Dog web site :)
ReplyDeleteThe mini marathon advertising is ridiculous. Now they'll have everyone going around saying they ran a marathon.
Love the face painting pic!
Don't you wish you could text with your hounds? Hahaha
DeleteTexts from Dog? Sounds like a new favorite website.
ReplyDeletethat show looks soooo funny! i only watched the first 5 min and i've already cried from laughing too hard several times. THANKS FOR THE POST!
