Does This Newspaper Article Make Me Look Gay?



That was the appearance Borsch and I made in the “Osceola Sun Newspaper” yesterday. It's reminiscent of my other costumed appearance in a newspaper (The St. Paul Pioneer Press) nearly exactly a year ago during the 2007 TC Marathon:



Moral of the story: If you want to get some publicity in the Midwest, go out in public dressed like a freak.

Speaking of which, the TC Marathon is this weekend, and the farm animals will be back in full force! Wish all the runners luck! It should be a great day, and there will be some fun photos of us cheering everyone on!

  1. I wouldn't worry about the gay thing. It's a well-known, scientifically-established fact that, just as the camera adds 5 lbs to your body, news print adds 5 SNAPS!! of FAAAAAAB-ulousness!

    Between you and Borsch, I detect a grand total of 11 SNAPS!

    So one of you is a little suspect ...

  8. Have you thought of trying to go national with Team Whitey-Tightie? It would be so cool to see runners at all of the big races sporting their Fruit-of-the-Looms.

  9. Hahaha welll maybe just a little gay...

  10. Playing a little catch-up around here.

    Great job with that race, even if you were in your skivvies ;)

    Oh and thanks for all the BIL pics.

  11. You're famous!! There's never a dull day in your life :D

  12. Well, dressed like that you would certainly draw some attention. Except in Kona for the Underwear Run, in which case you guys should wear tuxedos or something to stand out :-)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ha! That's great. It gave me a nice morning laugh.

  14. How would you up the risk factor of running in a costume - at a costumed run? like Portland's Run Like Hell? Just curious...or selfish! I need ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Dude! You'd think they would at least mention that you two WON after putting a photo like that in the newspaper. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Honestly . . . that's just bad journalism, if you ask me! I mean, as great as the get up may be, it is that much cooler that y'all ran in it and WON! Get your sh*t straight, Osceola Sun!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Let's just say that if that article were in the SF Chron we would KNOW you are gay! :-)

    Too funny.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Nah, but I think the whities make your butt look big

    ;-)

    Great job at the race, btw!

  19. I'm not sure Osceola is ready for you.
    Then again, are the Twin Cities?

    ReplyDelete
  20. wow, that's awesome that you made it in the paper. you don't look *that* gay... it just looks like there some serious bromance going on. LOL! and may i add that you look dashing in the photo!

    ReplyDelete
  21. LMAO! that is great Steve you in Borsh in your underwear is a top story!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Not a matter of if it makes you look gay. It seems to be more a matter of who's the guy and who's the chick. zing!

    ReplyDelete
  23. You've been out'd. So much for keeping it on the down-low.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh my goodness, YES!!!!!!!!! and that is what makes it even more fantastic!

    ReplyDelete
  25. That's funny. I thought the cashier at the store outed you last week.

    ReplyDelete
  26. You look fahb-ulous, dahhhhling.

    Where on the course will you be?? I'll be out cheering on the fellow runners as well...I think we're going to be at mile 22?

    ReplyDelete
  27. LOL... too much!!! have FUN this weekend!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. You know, it would help if your 'parnter' didn't have his arm wrapped around you in a lovers embrace!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'll be running the 10 mile on Sunday. Maybe I'll see you out there!

    You should know, though, that I have a phobia of people dressed as animals, mascots, etc. True story.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yes, you look gay. Does Pharmie know yet?

    ReplyDelete
  31. You just need some thigh highs and a garter belt. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. If you have to ask the question...

    ReplyDelete
  33. I have this strange urge to go to the disco. Get 3 more guys and now you're the Village People.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Just like I just posted on Charlotte's blog, the media distorts everything!

    I will be looking for you on Sunday. I am pacing some peeps to a 3:38 (give or take a couple) so hopefully you won't be moving on from your posts too soon.

    Any ideas of what to wear on Sunday? I would love to get a mug in the paper!

    ReplyDelete
  35. You...a FREAK??!!??

    No, really???

    ReplyDelete
  36. You should make it a personal goal to have at least one public photograph of yourself from each event. Too bad there were no grim reaper articles.

    ReplyDelete
  37. as my gay boys in provincetown say... you look faaaaaaaagulous! =)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Not in the least bit Steve!!! Top billing with the local newspaper is great stuff...take care this weekend with the farm animal brigade in Twin Cities :-)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Have a great weekend. I can always count on your blog for a nice laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Team tighty whitey makes it. I wouldn't say gay. Maybe a little odd for people that don't know you, then again for people that know you as well.

    I think you should start the team tightey - whitey franchise. Maybe you could raise some cash for a charity or something.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Ok, maybe just a little ;)

    That is freakin' hilarious!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Seeing Borsch's hand caressing your love handle makes me cringe.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I was just waiting for your article appearance! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm not sure it's the newspaper article that makes you look gay...the underwear and arms around another dude might though;)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Nah -- it makes you look like a professional wrestler.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Yes, but we know you're married and have no problems LOL

    ReplyDelete
  47. Um, a little but you're married so it doesn't matter (otherwise you might have a problem getting a date...)

    ReplyDelete
  48. you are like a celebrity!!! how awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  49. So THAT'S how you get publicity! Good to know. Think it would have the same positive and lighthearted spin if it was a woman in the tighty-whities? Hmmmm . . . food for thought, eh?! :)

Thanks for your comments! Have a great day!
