Okay. I’ve mentioned I have this Halloween Themed 5K this weekend, right? We are encouraged to wear costumes. So far, the best idea I had was to write “JOKE” on the back of my shirt and be a “Running Joke” - pretty good, right?
What about this: What if I pin snakes on my shirt? And be Snakes on a Runner. Yes? No? Too August? Too Geeky? Would anyone get it? Or would people spend the entire time trying to figure out what I was? And if so, would it slow them down any? Because I’m all for that too…
Hee! I like running joke!
OR….you could somehow encase your body in pantyhose and be a run in your hose? Har har. That would be SO comfy.
I think people would totally get, and love, “snakes on a runner.” Go for it!
(Although I do think the “running joke” one would be the one that people would have to slow down and think about, so if you’re more interested in that… )
Zoot, I like the running joke better than snakes on a runner. i don’t know why, i just do. last year at a halloween 5K a guy came with small cereal boxes taped to his front and back and through the boxes he stuck some plastic knives. can you guess what he was???? come on, i know you can. yep, he was a CEREAL KILLER!!! i still chuckle when i think of it.
My vote is for “Joke”.
Okay, that actually had me LOL. But maybe you can go ahead and write “Snakes on a Runner” on the shirt in the same font as the movie used.
otherwise, with a bunch of snakes on, they might just think you’re trying to be Medusa.
you could run all insane like the Monte Python crew (waving arms overhead and everything) and be the embodiment of “run awaaaaaaaay!”
Running Joke… wha ha ha! Even if no one gets it, it’s HI-larious, you must do it just for my amusement.
You MUST be Snakes on a Runner! That is too funny! I wish I were there to run, I would fall over laughing!
I know! Dress as whatever, and then when you get to the finish line, slip and fall down. You could be like that dude who won the Chicago Marathon.
OK, I probably shouldn’t be making fun of him, but really, who was the genius who decided to put slick, no traction advertising placards on the ground right before the finish line? Hello, stupidest idea ever…
I think you should sew a dowel to a hat and hang a Krispy Kreme from the end of it. It’s been done, but you are the Krispy Kreme, are you not?
I love the running joke! Sooo funny! But seriously, won’t it be kinda hard to run dressed up? I would love to go watch that! You will do great and entertain people too!
Snakes on a runner … it took me a few minutes to get it … but I did get it. I think I must be tired.
Sue says you should write “sentence” on the back or bottom of your shoes and be a “run on sentence.” She’s so silly!
I LOVE RUNNING JOKE!!!
Or just get a shirt and write Ceilings #1 and Go Ceilings!!! and I ♥ Ceilings.
and then you can be a ceiling fan.
You could wear a cap & gown and be a “roads” scholar.
