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!
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!
ReplyDeleteBetween you and Borsch, I detect a grand total of 11 SNAPS!
So one of you is a little suspect ...
LOL! Thanks for helping me start my day off with a smile.
ReplyDeleteHmm maybe just a little. But congrats anyways on making it in to the paper
ReplyDelete(not that there's anything wrong with that)
ReplyDeleteoooooh. you famous.
color us all in awe.
Hilarious! Congrats on the newsprint. I'd have to kill someone to make it to my local rag :)
ReplyDeleteWOW...not only are you amazing, your FAMOUS too!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will be cheering friends soon at the Detroit Marathon, any suggestions on a costume?? :-)
Duuuuddddeeeee! I hope you put that baby in an album and show it off to your future kids :P
ReplyDeleteHave 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.
ReplyDeleteHahaha welll maybe just a little gay...
ReplyDeletePlaying a little catch-up around here.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with that race, even if you were in your skivvies ;)
Oh and thanks for all the BIL pics.
You're famous!! There's never a dull day in your life :D
ReplyDeleteWell, 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 :-)
ReplyDeleteHa! That's great. It gave me a nice morning laugh.
ReplyDeleteHow 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!
ReplyDeleteDude! You'd think they would at least mention that you two WON after putting a photo like that in the newspaper. ;)
ReplyDeleteHonestly . . . 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!
ReplyDeleteLet's just say that if that article were in the SF Chron we would KNOW you are gay! :-)
ReplyDeleteToo funny.
Nah, but I think the whities make your butt look big
ReplyDelete;-)
Great job at the race, btw!
Jodi
I'm not sure Osceola is ready for you.
ReplyDeleteThen again, are the Twin Cities?
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!
ReplyDeleteLMAO! that is great Steve you in Borsh in your underwear is a top story!
ReplyDeleteThe answer- yes.
ReplyDeleteNot 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!
ReplyDeleteYou've been out'd. So much for keeping it on the down-low.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, YES!!!!!!!!! and that is what makes it even more fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. I thought the cashier at the store outed you last week.
ReplyDeleteYou look fahb-ulous, dahhhhling.
ReplyDeleteWhere 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?
LOL... too much!!! have FUN this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it would help if your 'parnter' didn't have his arm wrapped around you in a lovers embrace!
ReplyDeleteI'll be running the 10 mile on Sunday. Maybe I'll see you out there!
ReplyDeleteYou should know, though, that I have a phobia of people dressed as animals, mascots, etc. True story.
Yes, you look gay. Does Pharmie know yet?
ReplyDeleteYou just need some thigh highs and a garter belt. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you have to ask the question...
ReplyDeleteI have this strange urge to go to the disco. Get 3 more guys and now you're the Village People.
ReplyDeleteJust like I just posted on Charlotte's blog, the media distorts everything!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
You...a FREAK??!!??
ReplyDeleteNo, really???
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.
ReplyDeleteas my gay boys in provincetown say... you look faaaaaaaagulous! =)
ReplyDeleteNot 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 :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. I can always count on your blog for a nice laugh.
ReplyDeleteTeam 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.
ReplyDeleteI think you should start the team tightey - whitey franchise. Maybe you could raise some cash for a charity or something.
Ok, maybe just a little ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is freakin' hilarious!!!
Seeing Borsch's hand caressing your love handle makes me cringe.
ReplyDeleteI was just waiting for your article appearance! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it's the newspaper article that makes you look gay...the underwear and arms around another dude might though;)
ReplyDeleteNah -- it makes you look like a professional wrestler.
ReplyDeleteYes, but we know you're married and have no problems LOL
ReplyDeleteUm, a little but you're married so it doesn't matter (otherwise you might have a problem getting a date...)
ReplyDeleteyou are like a celebrity!!! how awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo 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?! :)
ReplyDeleteHa Ha hilarious yet again! :)
