Four (American) Mods. Five kilometers. Thirteen obstacles. All in the hills of of Kentucky. Assuming there are hills in Kentucky. Also? Can one of you Europeans explain what a kilometer is? Patrick, Will, Landau and I are getting muddy this weekend:

So what are you doing?

[Martin Smith]

A kilometer is like a mile that's gone to university, dabbled in left wing politics and drugs, seen some experimental Swedish cinema and generally gained ides above its station.

Good luck, running mods!

It's what you guys call a "klick" I think.


Edit: but Martin's answer is better.

This is going to end up being the 2012 remake of "Deliverance", isn't it?

So who's Ned Beatty?

The kilometer then, upon trying to gain entry into the job market, discovered it was completely unprepared for the realities created by the New Millennium Economic Crash. It couldn't measure up to the standards. As a matter of fact, the best it could do was 0.62 miles.

Not to let the side down, several of the UK based mods will also be undertaking a physical and mental challenge this weekend.

[Michael Stranger]

What, going south of the river?

[Mike]

I don't think you understand! The Overground's not running! Three crows turned for windward this morning! A dog in Hammersmith breathed fire!

[Paul F]

Will this mean actual pictures of Landau?

Casting time
Burt Reynolds- Will
Ronny Cox(the banjo player)- Jake. the musically gifted one of the group
Jon Voight(veteran outdoorsman) -Sgt Ayers
that leaves Landau to be Ned Beatty, sorry Ryan
I guess this means that Landau will be hurt first, according to the script.

If I had the shirt to sport today it would be a 'Team Will' shirt. I'm expecting big things of you this weekend.

Or at least the first to squeal...

Only 4 miles.....sissies.





Chewy..................................bikes 22 miles on a daily basis.

that warrior thingy actually looks like a bit of a laugh. 4 miles isn't tough. I could do 4 miles (not that quickly probably, but without much likelihood of complete death on the way) and the little games they have sound fine. the climby ones would probably tax me a bit, because i am having the skinny arms.

if one of you doesn't finish does that mean you lose mod-dom?

this weekend...i am...umm...being a lazy prick. i might take the momentus walk down and then back up the hill to and from the shop to get cakes or something.

I have absolutely NO obligations this weekend. My dad is over in Ireland for two weeks, my kids are leading their own lives down in Philadelphia, so my wife and I are going to jaunt into Manhattan for the whole day on Saturday. On Sunday, she has to attend a baby shower, so I plan on getting a haircut followed by yard work -- trimming hedges, pulling weeds, and emptying a goodly number of bottles of Tecate beer that are taking up space in the refrigerator in my garage.

We broke probably forever record of 98 at 103 today. It's supposed to be hot tomorrow. The High Park fire broke its boundaries, went from 55% to 40% contained, with full containment projected for July 15th. Another 117 homes were evacuated. Humidity was too low to be measured. What amI doing to help? Other than sending a couple cases of water, sweating. Sweating so much they could hang me from a helicopter and I could extinguish acres at a time. So I'll lay in front of a fan and try to increase the humidity.

If you need me, my head will be in the refrigerator.

[craggy]

on the plus side, miqque, comics will be damn cheap tomorrow.

If it gets any hotter,they'll have to pay me!

I don't know what Patrick put in our beer but Ryan is crying, Jake is unconscious, and I can't find my pants.

It's that supposed to happen typically on Tuesdays?
