Whar marathon? Whar!!?!?!??

markie_farkie		2012-11-02 05:25:55 PM

-26.2 points for that one, subby

+1 on Fark, though!

tnpir		2012-11-02 05:28:48 PM

Win.

Nabb1		2012-11-02 05:31:27 PM

It's just as well. You just know the Kenyan is going to win.

Warthog		2012-11-02 05:31:57 PM

But now how will all those people find a sense of endorphin fueled pretentiousness in their lives?

MaudlinMutantMollusk		2012-11-02 05:33:35 PM

That's raceless!

WTF Indeed		2012-11-02 05:37:12 PM

Wait, Did Obama already beat Romney?

CheetahOlivetti		2012-11-02 05:38:53 PM

Good. Now hand out that Gatorade and Gu gel to people who need it. (You'd have to be pretty desperate -- or a runner -- to need a Gu gel.)

When I say Usain, you say Shady.

/my name is what?

Ennuipoet		2012-11-02 05:56:42 PM

You're just wrong Subby, but I like it.

GAT_00		2012-11-02 06:21:08 PM

Obvious, but well done.

StewMcG		2012-11-02 06:33:27 PM

Well done!

Usain Bolt is Jamaican, not Kenyan.

Captain Steroid		2012-11-02 07:17:11 PM

This page has more link votes than comments. O_o

Aren't all of the blacks from Kenya? I was told that by Mr. Trump.

Glendale		2012-11-02 07:32:34 PM

In before "why is this a newsflash"

Uzzah		2012-11-02 07:32:44 PM

Phooey. I had high hopes for my headline submission:

The official footwear of the New York City Marathon: flip-flops

You sound fat.

Honest Bender		2012-11-02 07:33:51 PM

How nice of him to wait until 2 days before the marathon to cancel it... I'm sure no one traveled to attend...

Counter_Intelligent		2012-11-02 07:34:32 PM

Headlines like this are why I have an anus. So it can pucker with joy.

MrSloppy		2012-11-02 07:35:14 PM

Just change the signs!

Ethiopian. Jamaican. Kenyan. All the same on Fark.

Weaver95		2012-11-02 07:36:02 PM

Limbaugh was mad as hell this marathon was going to be held. Now that it's been cancelled...what's he gonna rant about?

They're reporting that 40,000 out of 47,000 are already there - living in their hotel rooms, paying money, eating out, etc. So the money came, but no race.

Usain Bolt is Jamaican, not Kenyan.

Usain Bolt is also a sprinter, not a long distance runner. Even the Europeans do better than Africa in sprinting. 0 medals for Africa in the 400m and less in 2012.

turbocucumber		2012-11-02 07:36:18 PM

Excellent, Subby.

Indubitably		2012-11-02 07:36:41 PM

Run where?

In polluted water?

Support health through toxification?

I think not.

Good call, Guv'nor.

*bow*

Indubitably		2012-11-02 07:37:53 PM

turbocucumber: Excellent, Subby.

You wanna know how I know you think you're smrt?

can I watch?

AverageAmericanGuy		2012-11-02 07:41:11 PM

Never thought I'd see Bloomberg back down from anything. I guess we know what his real colors are.

Hillbilly Jim		2012-11-02 07:42:09 PM

Subby you magnificent bastard out yourself and accept the praise.

Coco LaFemme		2012-11-02 07:42:10 PM

Nice one, subby. Reminds me of the headline from last election that had to do with an old man running from a black guy asking for change. That was the HOTY for 2008, I believe.

fusillade762		2012-11-02 07:42:42 PM

Racists!

What? They love racing...

Now he'll rant about it being cancelled. What else would you expect?

God-is-a-Taco		2012-11-02 07:44:27 PM

Not bad, subby.
It's a joke that can't be played often, but when it works it works.

DaintySavage		2012-11-02 07:45:06 PM

I thought Sheriff Joe and Trump made an announcement that they were giving up on the birth certificate.

Kuroshin		2012-11-02 07:45:50 PM

I less-than-three you, Subby.

Weaver95		2012-11-02 07:46:17 PM

I'm pretty sure that's the pundit version of dividing by zero.

SOUND: Knocking at door.

MORRIE: I'll get it.

SOUND: Door opens.

BABE: Telegram fo' you, Miss DiAngelo! ... Oh, uh-I'm sorry-I didn't know ... This is for you, Ma'm ...

LURLENE: Thank you, son. just a minute, boy! Come here ...

BABE: Yes?

LURLENE: Where are you from?

BABE: Nairobi, Ma'm. Isn't everybody?

KennyCaphill		2012-11-02 07:49:49 PM

Farking tease subby!!!

poot_rootbeer		2012-11-02 07:50:09 PM

Bloomberg still insisted that holding the race would not require diverting resources from the recovery effort.

IT ALREADY HAS, FARKING SKELETOR-FACED DWARF ASSHOLE.

Every gallon of diesel fuel set aside to run the generators powering the big clock at the Central Park finish line is a gallon that isn't being used to keep space heaters running in buildings with no power. Every bottle of water reserved for The Poland Spring® Hydration Zone at mile 17 is a bottle of water that newly homeless families in Breezy Point would desperately like to have to drink right now.

Guys like Chris Christie, Andrew Cuomo, and Cory Booker behaved like leaders this week. Mike Bloomberg behaved like a CEO.

Weaver95: Limbaugh was mad as hell this marathon was going to be held. Now that it's been cancelled...what's he gonna rant about?

That Bloomberg said he didn't want a cloud to hang over the race

WTF? How about serving the public, ya dumbass?

No no no.. It's easy, he'll just say that Bloomberg purposely waited until all the participants were there so that he could take all their money and then send them on their way. Without their 48oz sodas too.

noazark		2012-11-02 07:53:18 PM

Give PowerThirst to your babies, and they'll be good at SPORTS.
It'll make your babies run ABNORMALLY FAST.
They'll run as fast as KENYANS.
People will watch them running, and think they're KENYANS.
They'll race as fast as KENYANS against actual KENYANS,
and it'll be a tie, and they'll get deported back to KENYA.
