WIP

Just got home from swimming and then bar with teammates, and I'm t i r e d. I'll start this post for daily posting technicality's sake, and then zzz-time.

Eastbound & Down loves picking on tri, and it's right on in a way that makes me feel horrible. Searing, missile-guided truth-sting. At about 1'45" into this trailer is the joke from the first episode that I can't rattle out of my head, and which makes me run for the thesaurus almost every time I write about tri now. A weeny, suburban, shit-grinning guy who thinks he's nice and got it sorted out says he does triathlons, and lays out the news waiting for the awed reaction he usually gets. Reaction: "I play real sports, I'm not trying to be the best at exercising."


More later....
