Get to Shaving Already!


Of the 94 stubble times that have been submitted for the Shave Your 5K Challenge, I have received only 19 smooth times. Perhaps people have forgotten about the challenge, or perhaps they’ve gotten slower and are too ashamed to e-mail me their times, fearing that I will mock them mercilessly (a well placed fear if ever there was one). The good news in all of this is that the less people who submit smooth times the greater your chances are of winning! Thus far it appears that there has been some pretty impressive shaving going on and I’m sorry to say, some pretty impressive cheating going on too. I just re-checked my originally posted terms and conditions and wow, are they long. They are as lengthy as my... well... let’s just say that they’re lengthy and leave it at that shall we? Anyway, the terms and conditions do state that I have the right “to disqualify anyone who submits a stubble time that I feel is significantly slower than it should be” and I’m so glad that I put that in there because disqualifying people sounds like a total power trip and tons of fun to boot.

I’ve decided that I won’t be posting the results until after the competition ends on January 1st just to keep you in suspense. Okay, you got me, it’s mostly because I like to procrastinate and put things off to the last minute, I haven’t even bought a single Christmas present yet. Why would I? There’s still 2 more weeks left before Christmas!

That’s all I’ve got for today. Have a good weekend and enjoy this video of the Mother of the Year and her son enjoying some kind of evil amusement park ride. Or maybe it’s the mother who’s evil, not the ride. By the way laughing at this video is equivalent to punching your one way ticket to Hell, so it’s a good thing that I wasn’t laughing at the video but rather at a joke I heard the other day.

  14. There is truly nothing more disturbing/hilarious than watching a fat child slowly strangle/asphyxiate while said child's mother laughs her fool head off.
    I could watch that shit all day.

  15. wow--definitely funny if it hadn't hit so close to home. I think I'm related to that kid.

    In other news, I'm sorry I didn't hop in on the shave challenge. You'll have to plan on one next spring. I promise I'll give you the time of day to consider it.

  19. I verbally said "5K's are for sissies" but online I'll just say... If I'm going to pay money for a race it better last longer than my attention span during the news and/or my best non-PG13 experience.

    Oye. God Bless Non-PG13 Experiences.

  25. My only attempt at shaving worked... but only by a few seconds, and it was in early September (24:17). However, I just found out about a 5K that's at 10 AM on New Year's Day. Any chance I can use that as one last attempt?
