July 28 2008 Beer marathoners run, drink, vomit

This reminds me of running the Boston Marathon. The whole route is lined with friendly comrades cheering and handing you weird things like homemade oatmeal raisin cookies or glucose drenched orange slices. I recall grabbing a dixie cup full of water from some anonymous outstretched hand and slinging it back. I was shocked and then mildly amused to find I had swigged a shot of vodka at mile 18.

Earth Day 2008 Synchronized swimmers faint in unison.

Now that the shock and awe has subsided, I'm really digging this T-shirt icon. It makes the selection process quick and painless. I just scan the ticker until I hit a t-shirt and begin reading.

Synchronized swimmers faint in unison
3 girls were practicing routine drills (down the length of the pool and back on one breath) and fainted at the very end where they descended to the bottom of the deep end. Another girl and her mother suffered shock from witnessing the event. Officials are looking into elevated chlorine levels as a possible trigger.
