Mud

[digitaldiscipline]

So, a mile or so into the run was a deep mud pit. I took the... wrong path through it. It took me a good three or four minutes to walk/crawl/swim/whatever through that

It was actually fun, if kind of disconcerting. I turned to the guy just ahead of me and shouted "I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE SHIT THIS DEEP SINCE 'NAM!" but I don't think it was appreciated.

I'm hoping that the next official batch of photos they upload includes a couple that were taken before I threw myself in the pond that was about a quarter mile further along the track.

Wow, thanks for posting that. A) it looks like a ton of fun, and b) now I know how NOT to set up my photo gallery.... >.> You can't even see the pictures beneath that huge honkin watermark!

I occasionally tell people I was in "Nam," and if they react seriously and genuinely, I tell them, "Yes, I was a baby in 'Nam. They sent me into those tunnels to defuse booby traps." Then they get pissed at being used for a straight man.

If I'm too young to have been in "Nam," certainly you are.

Yeah, they pretty much fucking suck for visibility.

Considering that I was born towards the end of the war? Yeah, pretty much.

they just want you to buy their stuff.

also it helps keep you more anonymous :)
