One Joe D'Amico has been eating nothing but McDonald's in the 30 days leading up to the LA Marathon. That is exciting. I am taking suggestions for how to get famous through a blog gimmick - pass your ideas along. Ideas that have come to mind include:
-
- Peepng into a neighbor's window at 10pm each night just to see what they're doing; I'll take a picture, post it to the blog, and write up my observations. After 365 days, I'll have a ready-to-go book: I Know You Wear Ratty Tighty Whiteys, And Now You Know I Know
- Furtively dropping into my local fair-trade coffee shop, pooping, wiping, flushing, leaving without ordering anything at all. Then blogging. Documentary evidence in this case crosses the line of good taste. Book Title: I Left You Something Locally Grown. Or howabout this: Clogging and Blogging. Or even: Put the LOG into Blog!
- To move from the locally grown to the opposite end of the food spectrum: poop in Long John Silver's (any restaurant; doesn't have to be the same franchise, but probably better if it is) for 365 days straight. Wear same pirate hat to do so and photograph self. Call book: Captain's Log. This title gets at the too easily forgotten etymology of "blog," which is "web-log." But the real beauty is that like the others, it punningly refers to the log-like shapes into which turds arrange themselves in the course of passing through the small intestine, out the anus, and into any number of possible toilets in your community--the range and variety of which is limited only by your budget, your location, and your imagination.

Might not be good for training, although all those carbs could help fuel your runs! And probably runs of a different kind too! Maybe you could combine this with your log and blog and call it something like "What's the dirt on my squirt?" Or simply "Runs"(Hee hee, scatological humor!)
I do like the elegance of "Runs..." Hah!
ReplyDeleteMan, four beers a day and nothing else? I hope he makes it. Sounds like a recipe for a constant low-grade hangover.
