This whole street-closing business for runners is completely out of control. I can't even get to the grocery store when this is going on.
ReplyDeletePeriod.
Oh, goodie. Another narcissistic twit Saturday.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can compete in the fifty yard waddle to Taco Bell.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can just write a fucking check and leave people alone.
ReplyDelete7:49 + everyone who lives in Kansas City river to 75th.
ReplyDeleteWill they be shutting down the streetcar for the Hospital Hill runners in the future?
ReplyDeleteThose of us in the Brookside area are completely blocked in on 4 sides by these twits. The cops won't let any cars across the race route streets if there is even 1 pokey runner. Every year I am late for a class on Saturday mornings. I am stuck at home until noon.
ReplyDeleteDont box me in.
ReplyDeletePressure cookers, anyone?
ReplyDeleteI always wondered why they don't do this shit at a high school or fitness center track. Anyone have a clue? Is it really because they "gotta be seen" ... because the traffic crap it causes really does suck. They must know this, right? I mean, fucking run, if ya gotta, but do it in an appropriate place.
ReplyDeleteForgot to add, like go join that girl running on the beach. In other words: Don't fucking do it in Kansas City, retards.
ReplyDelete11:23, maybe because you can't fit several thousand people on a high school track. Common sense.
ReplyDeleteDo it in shifts, according to age or whatever. Common sense.
ReplyDeleteMr. Tony,
ReplyDeleteSeveral months ago the City, in it's magnificent stupidity, only increased to $200 the cost needed for a permit. Thank you Jan. A measly $200 bucks with no increase through the years to reflect raising costs. $200 to have a-holes strolling along, getting in the way in the west central city. I'd be just okay with that price if they reduced the amount for lesser traveled running, strolling, gabbing venues... The Paseo, Van Brunt, North Oak, the moon.
Now, don't be sitting there fuming about all of the "good works" being done. These folks COULD write a check without running in front of me.
Ms. Sweetie Pie has a good point. I wonder how much these marathons cost. If you take the money raised and subtract the costs of the marathons, the same results would probably be greater if the dedicates souls and narcissistic twits just wrote checks the their various causes.
ReplyDeleteRead Matthew, chapter 6, verses 1thru 4 all you joggin glory whores who think youre doing something good for charity
ReplyDeleteGet over it you lazy idiots. It's not that big of a deal!!!
ReplyDeleteThey could do it in Swope Park, Longview Lake, Jacomo Lake and disrupt less people.
ReplyDeleteThey're narcissistic twits. Their objective is to disrupt as many people as possible.
ReplyDelete7:51 obviously does not live near these events and does not realize that it is possible to exercise without disrupting the lives of others.
ReplyDeleteOr they could take at least some of these marathons out to the country and chart a 25-mile course from beginning to end -- like the original marathon.
ReplyDeleteThese circular routes, with the same point serving as the starting and finish lines, tie up the same portions of the city for hours, and it's getting to be on a monthly basis.
