Not to be critical, but given the threat title, you could have really stretched this one out and brought double meaning to the title.

now that was a funny comment.

I see what you did there. Well played.

Something like this? 

The arrogance of some people astounds me.  So what, so you can run a good bit, big deal, who cares.  But noooo, you have to show off to the whole world that you can run 5, 10, 15, or w/e miles.  You are wasting the time of so many commuters by backing up traffic and you don't even care.  All you care about is the, "look at me" factor.  The worst part is most of these people cannot even run fast or run long distances well. Half the race they end up kind of half jogging/walking.  10,000 people running and 9,000 of them are overweight and huffing and puffing 200 yards into the marathon.  They are clogging up streets and making the economy slow down in ways I never thought possible.  I mean in today's financial markets who can afford to waste tax dollars for the extra police efforts watching these people to make sure they don't get hit by cars while they run in the streets.  Besides the running shoes are tearing up the streets which mean more tax dollars being wasted on the care of said streets.  Not to mention the fact that these people could be working instead to try and boost our economy.  After all how many days did many of these runners waste preparing for this event.  Wouldn't that time have been better spent trying to figure out ways to save the companies they work for.  We all know that 90% of the American economy has failed and despite politicians best efforts the market will probably never recover.  Yet here are these people running willy-nilly all over the city without a care for tomorrow, it really is sickening.  Every time these people organize an event like this the really important things, like me and my time, get overlooked.  I just think overall there is a lot of wasted time and effort that goes into these events just to have 9,999 running partners that you can gloat to about beating them.  Wow, good for you, you can outrun a bunch of fat-assed worthless people who have never run this much in their lives.  They probably got roped into this deal on a lost bet.  Perhaps they were bragging too much at work about what a good runner they were in high-school 20 years ago and had to run in this marathon to back up their shit-talk.  If you had not designed this stupid event no one would have been the wiser to the arrogant bragging of this left-over relic from the eighties.  Now you will be lucky if this over-dressed corporate make the beast with two backs doesn't die from a heart attack because he is to stubborn to refuse that he is not 18 years old anymore.  Also the amount of money that this same type of person went and wasted to have $300-400 worth of running gear that he will never use again.  There goes that stimulus package all for a bunch of useless shit.  Think about all the water wasted because the runners dump it over their heads.  Children all over the world would kill for a drink of clean water and here we are wasting it by throwing it around like it is worthless.  All the water that evaporates from the skin of the runners could have been saved for later use instead of sweating out in the name of "good health".  Guys on motorcycles and in cars don't have heat stroke or heart attacks from over-exhaustion.  Save lives and live healthy by NOT running.  I bet that this marathon adversely affected the global warming problem.  After all the heat from the runners has to go somewhere.  Perhaps we should call in Al Gore to investigate this growing issue that has to be a contributing factor to the melting of the polar ice-caps.  In the end I am sure that this will add to the demise of the planet and the human race.  When the aliens finally get here in a few hundred years they will extrapolate that the human race died off in the end because of excessive marathon races and extreme road rage.  


Probably not a marathon rant but considering it's about a marathon I think it pretty wordy.

I like Haiku for a rant format.

Marathon runner
Poop your pants! Don't stop now!
Bloody nipples, yay!

[sbrguy]

that is a much better rant and very funny at that too.. i like the global warming part that was witty.



only correction i would make is that your tax dollars are not being spent on the police and ambulance services at all for marathons.  Those are individual entry fees go toward that.  So the race actually pays for the police and ambulances and their respective overtime YOU TAX DOLLARS DO NOT.

I think there should be a new forum rule that all rants be in Haiku format.
