Why is in no surprise that srlopez' hero is Dan-O riding an ostrich?

Using the basic shape of pudding as it appears in this thread, all I'll say is... huh. That was completely unintentional.

After a long correspondence, Vervloet traveled to Emmaus, Penn., last year to put on a cat-running clinic for Amby Burfoot, the editor of Runner's World magazine. Burfoot, the winner of the 1968 Boston Marathon, says none of his colleagues could replicate the 20-percent gains of in speed and efficiency that Vervloet promised, but he was impressed by Vervloet's passion.
After leaving Portland State University, Vervloet found work impersonating a woman for a Portland phone-sex service. "Somebody told me, 'You don't know what it's like being a woman,' so I thought I'd find out," he explains. "But the real women [at the service] didn't like me because I made more money than they did." Vervloet then sold sex toys and donned rubber gloves to swab out private viewing booths at Fantasy Video. "I got what I wanted out of the job," he says. "People say 'sex sells,' and I wanted to know why."
Part of Vervloet's problem may be that following his train of thought is sometimes like tracking Osama bin Laden's whereabouts. "What he's going to find is that as long as he makes references to racehorses, grasshoppers and fleas, he's going to have a very mixed reception in track and field," Veney says.
