| Just looking at that picture makes me feel like a girly-man. I don't think I can handle reading the article without a beer or three. |

| Quote from beatlemaniac on 5/1/2008 at 1:48 AM: Read about this on a flight this week....gives new meaning to HTFU....
I've read about this a time or three, always drooling with envy ...
Now make my life complete and find me an American version, preferably within a day's drive of Nashville. I know some redneck somewhere has seen this and declared that they could make something tougher than them sissy Europeans.
I want to play. |

Seriously. I must do this. January 2010. I'm there.
If you are the sort of person who doesn’t just imagine such a race but also hears an irrational voice in the back of your brain as you read this copy of American Way (which you plucked out of the seat pocket randomly but now wonder if it’s part of some act of fate) asking if you are indeed Tough Enough , then I am almost positive that one January very soon, no matter the status of your marriage or career or credit card balances, you will not consider your life complete until a Tough Guy finisher medal hangs around your neck. You know who you are.
The official website actually has me aroused:
