Appropriate Responses To Teddy’s Fear of Dying October 5, 2009

Lisa recently tried to calm me down after I explained to her my fear of dying while running the marathon, with statistics about how many people have died at the Chicago Marathon. Here are more appropriate responses:

1. No one with an ass that bangin would ever be allowed to die.
2. I bet your bangin hair will serve as a shield toward any hazards in your way.
3.  You should be more afraid of pooping your pants.
4. Just think of how bangin your ass will be after running 26 miles.
5. As long as you have Taylor Swift on your iPod while running, you’ll be fine.
6. If you do die, you’ll look fabulous in doing it in your cute running shorts.
7. Stop being a fucking pussy and just do the damn thing.
8. I love you.
9. If you don’t die I’ll take you for some cake after. You like cake don’t you?
10. Think of all the hot men who will be waiting for you at the finish line to get a piece of that bangin ass they saw running. Don’t disappoint them!

  4. on google, all you have to type is ‘you be’ and the lyrics to that friggin song are the first thing that comes up
  5. that’s what happens when you watch MTV on direct tv during a flight home when you’re terrified of flying and don’t want to go home and you just landed and that friggin video is on
  6. I hate cheerleaders
  7. I love sneakers and tshirts
  8. laughing on a park bench is actually really easy

  10. aka I was a fat tweenager
  11. had the beastie boys released their new album as scheduled, this would not be an issue
  12. my dad is gay
  13. I don’t think any of us can be held responsible for our actions in 2009. at least I didn’t get a really bad haircut.
  14. perhaps my amateur mixology really wasn’t the best idea and all these feelings are the result of some bad jam
  15. taylor is like the adorable blond perky nice popular [but not too popular] little sister I never had
