            Ahh I love The Oatmeal! I had no idea he was a runner!

              my Blerch has a name. I call him Ned. Short for Neagative Ned. I tell Ned to Shut the F**k up a bunch in the mornings.

               

              That Oatmeal was good stuff.

              Will run for scenery.

                I want a purple soda like that!

                Stupid feet!

                Stupid elbow!

                  I like that he has a taco in his fuel belt.

                    I put my name down for the blerch shirt. I love the oatmeal. Also, Matthew Inman is quite scrumptious.

                        The food part and the vanity part didn't register with me, but the Blerch was so right spot-on that I want the t-shirt! Big grin

                              That was great.  I mostly laughed, but this quote will be copied and pinned to my bulletin board:

                               

                              "Running is not about building strength and wearing it like a fashion statement.  Running is about finding strength and measuring yourself every single day."

                               

                              Love it.

                                That is so funny, and yet I can relate to much of it.
