You've given me an idea, a beer 5k. Anyone can do a 5k, people do it all the time walking back from the bars. Even if you're fat and slow its only around 40 minutes. Why not have a 5k where instead of watering stations you have beer stations? Make it for a charity or something. Probably a stupid idea, but I'm hungover so the brain isn't connecting right. Anyway my vote is for an oatmeal stout, thats a meal in a can, it'll get you ready for the 30 mins of exercise.
I've done my fair share of half drunk running the morning after partying, but not with beer in my belly. What do you have to lose? Go for it. Call it a Brew-K, Drunken Dash, Tipsy Trot, something like that. In other news, we've got history in the making folks... Ford for re-election! Go home Rob, you're drunk.
It isn't a stupid idea if you have a vomit fetish. At a party campground I used to DJ, they had a tricycle race around the deck of a round gazebo where you had to drink a cold beer each lap, five laps. By the end of eight races, the entire deck was covered in vomit. The distance they travelled pedalling was probably a couple hundred feet. Not sixteen and a half thousand. Although that would make some hilarious TV: runners throwing and and pissing their pants, shoplifting from 7-11, hitting on female spectators while running by and taking full-on haymakers at each other.
Beer runs have been around for a while. Have you all been living under a rock? http://www.tapnrun.com/
I figured they have to be out there, a cursory Google search only pulled up races where they had beer at the finish line. Both sound good.
On a totally unrelated note, I saw this morning that Philalawyer's website expired on 4/10. Parked at Godaddy. I enjoyed reading his work, but the long pause since an update does not bode well. Anyone have any details?
Before he stopped updating his Twitter, I think he mentioned that he was writing a book of some kind. I thought the lack of Twitter updates was due to the book writing. Either he's given up on writing altogether or he's publishing under his real name and doesn't want his real name linked to his past stories, so he gave up the online pseudonym.
He's a good writer, But I don't think I've talked to him since my kid was born. I actually enjoyed his book a lot more than IHTSBIH. He could be using a different name now, hell maybe he's a lawyer again.
Come Sunday, Denver is going to be an absolute shit show. People are literally flying in to celebrate 4/20 here. I promise you guys will see it on the news. I'm all for tourists coming in and spending money, but the amount of annoying stoners that will be floating around LoDo will be too much for me to handle.
