You can tell tw is just joking again 'cause he deliberately misspelled my username.

The twit has made so many mistakes with his references that he's been reduced to claiming he's just joking when he makes them; however, that behavior is common in persons with diminished capacity. Other's have tried to tell him; but, he just refuses to get facts and makes things up as he goes along … pobre pollo loco.

These uncontrolled emotional outbursts of yours, during which you're unable to write in an educated language, are becoming more and more frequent. You were never officer material; but, now you wouldn't even make a good conscript. You may not have much longer to go.

Best get your fill of cheesecake while you still can.

I did not take that miss. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never.

Meanwhile in Australia

Quote:

94 participants ran Australia’s Ellery Brookman Goldfields Pipeline Half Marathon earlier in July. The typical finisher had approximately 2.02 legs.

The average was thrown off by a local stray dog named Stormy, who met the runners before the race and then, citing a light schedule of licking himself and sleeping for 18 yards that day, decided to join them. Stormy ran the course diligently, hitting every checkpoint and finishing with an estimated time of 2:30 — good enough for a top 70 finish. Despite not wearing a bib, the very good dog was recognized for his efforts, earning a medal for running 13.1 miles despite stumpy legs.

“This dog is walking around, making itself known to all the runners. We get the air horn out and say ‘Go’ and off he goes with everybody,” volunteer coordinator Allison Hunter told Australia’s ABC News. ”Speaking with all the aid stations and marshals later, we found out he stopped at every single one.”

At the race stations he was having a little runaround and saying hello to the volunteers and participants, and then he would team up with another runner and keep on following the crowd. He was just out there having a trot through the bush and enjoying people’s company.

Stormy didn’t get much time to revel in his accomplishment, however. Rangers took the canine from the finish line, which is a pet-free zone, to the pound after no one claimed him at the end of the race. He’ll spend up to seven days in dog jail waiting for his owner to pick him up. Organizers were told the good boy is a year-old resident of a local Aboriginal community who doesn’t have a single owner, but knows everyone in town.

We thought he deserved a medal since he had done the whole thing. So Allison and I went down to the rangers, gave him a medal and gave him more exposure so hopefully the owner might see.

If no one claims the rugged half-marathoner pup by the end of the week, he’ll be put up for adoption. Anyone in western Australia looking for a running mate will be able to apply to give him his forever home for a cost of about $300, plus expenses.

So, if you’re feeling unmotivated today for any cause, just remember; if this stumpy little Australian dog can do it, so can you.

I had a feeling that I'd seen a similar report a couple of years ago.

Eventually I found this:

Dog Accidentally Joins Half Marathon, Finishes Race In 7th Place


Quote:
The marathon entrant finished in seventh place, but she made several stops along the way.
Ludivine, a two-year-old bloodhound in Alabama, won a medal for her seventh-place finish in the Trackless Train Trek Half-Marathon.
She raced with other, two-legged runners, crossing the finish line of the 13.1-mile course with a time of 1:32:56.
All of this came as quite a surprise to Ludivine's owner who had let the dog out to do her business and thought she was just out running in the woods.

What IS it about the half marathon that dogs love it so much!! It's the only race they ever run!!

IotD from 2011: Dog runs half marathon to support cancer research



Why: because they can't do a full marathon, and any shorter race is not newsworthy. Therefore the half marathon is the only race we will read about good dogs entering. Let's see if this hypothesis proves out.

Sometimes they do it.

Sometimes they even train dogs to do it for blind marathon runners. (Mute your speakers, a video on the page autoplays.) But they freely admit that of the 165 they've been training for marathons with the blind, only 12 are "race-ready."

Maybe because half marathons are usually run on less rural turf and runners are spaced closer they're more likely to pick up a loose dog without drawing much attention except for the runners.

I got the impression the Alabama dog didn't stay with the same runners for the whole race, but spent more time at the water stations. Probably they wouldn't hand he a cup and had to scrounge what the runners discarded.

Meanwhile in London...

Blimp of London mayor flies above UK capital


A giant blimp of London Mayor Sadiq Khan hovered Saturday above Westminster in a crowdfunded protest against his record on tackling violent crime in the UK capital.

A small crowd of supporters and members of the media gathered to see the giant balloon -- which depicts the mayor reclining in a small yellow bikini -- as it was flown for two hours, the Press Association news agency reported. …

… Protest organizer Yanny Bruere, who describes himself as a British free speech advocate, said he had set up the crowdfunding campaign in response to London authorities' decision to allow a "Trump Baby" blimp to be flown during a visit to Britain in July by President Donald Trump.

He said the Parliament Square event would mark "the fightback for free speech in our country." ...

… The blimp's swimwear is a reference to a controversial weight-loss advertisement banned from the Transport for London network by Khan in 2016 that depicted a woman in a yellow bikini with the slogan "Are you beach body ready?" ...

Girl wearing bikini is banned. But topless girls every day in each newstand is not? What and why is the reasoning?

He did it so his teenaged girls wouldn't be body shamed on public transportation. It had nothing to do with pandering to voters.
