Don't stop me now.  I'm on a roll!  100°F!  I gotta do what I gotta do. 

Did I tell everyone that I was recently made a Ragnar Ambassador?  I don't know exactly what it means, but it sounds cool!

And I found this picture of me, RAD, Chad, and allie going to the Third Thursday Adventure Run.

There is not enough awesomeness to describe such a post!

From RAD on Tue, May 29, 2012 at 18:10:39 from 98.202.23.178

She who has the biggest head makes it to the run the fastest! Thanks for the drive there :)

I noticed you're not flying the jolly roger flag. we are not amused.

I used to have a motorcycle with a sidecar and rode it like that a lot. Sometimes it would scare people on the freeway :)

Chad - There's always room for more awesomeness.

RAD - Thanks for balancing out the weight.

QP - It blew off. I think we look a lot like pirates. Nazi pirates.

Trap - Would the passenger pump their arms like they were running?

No, but my son would raise his arms and give me a big Thumbs Up every time. He was such a cute little tyke back then. Now he's 6' 3" and 270lbs. I doubt he would even fit in a sidecar now. Now I have to go dig up a picture since I can't just photoshop one like you do.

From Burt on Wed, May 30, 2012 at 18:10:32 from 72.223.82.180

Photowhat now? I don't know what you're talking about. I used to have a cute son, too.

From Dan on Wed, May 30, 2012 at 20:24:39 from 24.209.83.20

100 and an epic adventure run, can't ask for more!

From Burt on Wed, May 30, 2012 at 21:06:25 from 72.223.82.180

Would it be too much to ask for Oprah and Jimmy Fallon to be on the same space shuttle launch catastrophe?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Wed, May 30, 2012 at 21:34:58 from 98.247.27.122

Hey Mr. Ambassador, I'm running the Northwest Passage again this year. I need some cool swag for the man cave like one of those ragnarly meter banners or something. Can you use your sweet hookups to get me some cool ragnar gear?

From Burt on Wed, May 30, 2012 at 22:03:14 from 72.223.82.180

I have absolutely no swing. If I could, I would hook everyone up, like Pedro's cousins.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Wed, May 30, 2012 at 22:04:59 from 174.255.188.153

So what does an ambassador with no special powers or sweet hookups actually do for Ragnar?

From Burt on Wed, May 30, 2012 at 22:05:24 from 72.223.82.180

I don't know yet, Trap. I don't know.

From Burt on Wed, May 30, 2012 at 22:05:50 from 72.223.82.180

I might be able to get you some tattoos. Temporary ones.
