so - yesterday, i went to cheer my friend on at the end of her 60 mile breast cancer walk -

1) i drove around for almost half an hour looking for a close parking space... then i remembered that she had just walked 60 miles - i felt like an ass and paid $5 for parking

2) legions of sweaty women (and, like, 4 guys) are finishing this trek and there were all these well-wishers standing at the finish line hi-fiving everyone and screaming "WOOOOOOO" - i was thinking that if i was on some kind of medication that made me want to do something like that and if i had just walked 60 miles, i would punch anyone who screamed anything in my face...

and can we please come up with something to yell other than the ubiquitous "WOOOOOOO" - i don't really care what - it could be "yahoo", "yippee" or "huzzah" (think i spelled that wrong - not looking it up though) - just something other than "WOOOOO" - please - i'll beg if you want me to

  • See, I'm both partial to and irritated by the "fratboy woo". I'm only partial to it when a lone fist is raised.

    However, at the end of a race or long run, people should be yelling things like "Need a lift?" and "Would you like some water?".

    yeah, I got nothin'

  • maybe what people want to hear at the end of an arduous walk is "you look great" or "your sweat makes you gleam like j-lo" or "those shorts make your ass look good!" - sort of along the lines of seinfeld's "you are sooo good lookin'" after a sneeze

  • cate doll,

    what you fail to realize is EVERYTHING makes my ass look good.

    oh wait, you meant the runners.

    and by "good" you didn't mean "extreme trunk junkage"...

    damn.
