The Marathon
So what is your favourite aspect of the Boston Marathon?

...mine is the fact that there are people with hoses spraying water on runners because they shit themselves as they run!! I learned about the fecal leg drip a few years back when a couple of my then-coworkers ran.

	Mine is the fact that I live in GODDAMNED HOPKINTON and they close all the roads at 7:30AM and the place is a nightmare! (Reply to this)

	Well you can't stop running (if your an elite runner and even if your not, it's one of those if you stop you'll never be able to start running again things) and if you've got the shits what are you going to do for 2 hours? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	from what i've been told from friends in the know, after a certain point while running you start to lose control of some of your body functions. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I remember seeing some woman running (i think in a triathalon) where she had both feces and monthly flow running down her legs. It was b-move gorefest ugly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I take the opportunity to poop myself and get hosed off. It's the only day out of the year when I can do that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	A) my favorite part is that i take the T to and from work, so the traffic and blocked streets don't affect me in the slightest. my other favorite part is that men tend to wear rather short shorts, and there's a certain amount of... um... bouncing. which is a plus. B) ew? just... ew. (Reply to this)

	Is that actually true? One of many reasons why I'll probably never be a marathon runner. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Mine is probably that my parents nearly had simultaneous heart attacks when they learned I was due on Patriot's Day 1985 and the only hospital their insurance would cover for delivery was Beth Isreal (and they were driving in from Everett). I wasn't born then but this year my birthday actually is on Patriot's Day. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm surprised so many people are surprised about the fecal leg drip. It's merely an extension of high school cross country runners who piss themselves. If you go to most races, at least a couple of the top ten girls in a 3 mile race will have a nice big wet spot. When you're going 26 miles, it just gets more extreme. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm sorry, but there is no reason to piss yourself in a three mile run. That's just some kind of sick fetish. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I was wondering why there was a coprophilia convention the same day. The things you see when you look at convention center schedules... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ron might not be as appreciative of toilet humor as much as some of us refined ladies and gentlemen, but I say the OP is making a nice big comeback for himself on b0st0n. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Reminder: do not walk the marathon route after they go by, no matter how few cars are in the street. (Reply to this)

	My favorite's that sometimes I get a day off. Not this year. ... Do you think swimmers doing such intense exercises piddle in the pool? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Most people who piss in the pool aren't atheletes though. (Reply to this) (Parent)
