"No skinny redheaded guys, that run marathons, are allowed in the contest. Saw-wee, buh dems da roo-leeez."
The preceding email came from a friend of mine last night when I asked him if I could join he and another friend in a friendly exercise contest.
Not to make light of Ms. Rosa Parks, but folks....I've been sent to the back of the bus.
Because I have run 1 marathon and because I weigh less than the aforementioned "friends", I'm not fit to participate in their little reindeer games*. The stakes are high, too. After a 4 week period, the loser has to offer a kids playdate at their house for the winner. Folks, I need this playdate. It's been too long since WifeDoodle and I have gone to a restaurant that use tablecloths and don't have balloons at the entrance.
I am all for anyone starting or maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If any of my family, friends, and/or acquaintances want to start, I'm the first one in line cheering them on. Now I'm excluded? Does the fact that I run (in theory) 3 times per week intimidate them? I can't imagine. This is almost as disconcerting as being called an athlete. Basically, between that episode and this one, I can only come to one conclusion:
I'm an effin' stud.
Editor's Note - Since this draft, my friends have adopted a point system that makes it a lot more fair....for them. MWAHAHAHAHAHA.....
*seasonal, funny, and good looking! How do I do it?

sounds like envy if I have ever heard it.
I would jump at the chance to offer your kids a playdate with my cat. Hilarity would ensue. Although that might be considered child abuse...
Awww, I'll watch your kids. How hard can it be?
You should be used to people hating on you.

Or perhaps this is only an English thing.
They just don't want to lose.
Crummy friends!! Any of them that might be looking for football tickets in the future? Just sayin'
If you lived in FL, I would SO offer you the chance for me to kick your ass at a contest so you could watch Norah.
Note, I did not say "If I lived in NB" b/c that's just silly.
Gosh, you are like a little Rudolf being left out in the cold. Or, I guess being left out of the games which means you get to stay in the nice warm house....wait, why are you complaining again?
Hopefully the points system will give you even more ammo to gloat. "I beat you guys and I only got 1/2 a point per minute!"
if it makes you feel better, I can call you a pansy. just let me know...
You should run away with Herby and Yukon Cornelius. Then your friends will appreciate you.
With white napkins and without balloons at the entrance! Classic. You really do need to get out more.
Hope you have a great Christmas too! Enjoy the time with the family!
