Discussion: mud run: taken to the next level

Coming soon to the bucolic hinterland of a metropolis near you:

The Tough Crapper™

It starts like the other mud runs, and you crawl under barbed wire, clamber over walls, hurdle through flames. and all that, and more, with this new twist: just before the finish, you must traverse a playground-sized pit filled with cow manure. Not dry dung, but fresh patties. And the terrain would be mogul like, the patties would be piled into knolls and hills, meaning you have to avoid tumbling down into the crap.

Isn't April 1 still a bit off in the distance?

Oh, and a more betterer name might be The Tough Sh*tter -- but I guess, these events need to be family-friendly...

There ain't nothing family-friendly about barely clothed breasts, mud-soaked T shirts, freeflowing beer, and hell-lets-rip-it-up attitude. Tough Shitter here we come!

I imagine that Andy Dufresne would be good at this one.

Isn't he still in Mexico?

Yes, the Tough Shitter brought to you by ex-lax®.

As for cow patties--I know more about those than most people around here, that's for sure.

They come from cows.

My knowledge has now been exhausted.

Having orienteered in Switzerland, I can report that the most noticeable feature of a field full of fresh cow patties is not the cow patties. It's the flies.

Tough Sh*tter was the prototype name. To really see this taken to the next level, check out the extended "the game" scene in the 1985 classic film "Gymkata."

I don't remember the name of the town. :(
