Some do twitters. I do trivia.

Well, not much anymore. I used to play almost every night in various AOL rooms and hosted several games a week. But on the odd occasion I do catch a game these days, I'll still get an evil thought in there.

So it went the other day, when someone made mention of the "Kennedy triathalon." Turns out they meant this- a DC-area 50-mile road race, begun in 1963 as one of many such events encouraged by JFK's fitness movement and the only one that's been run every year since.

Not knowing that at the time, I speculated on what a "Kennedy triathalon" would consist of:

a 1.5 kilometre swim in the Chappaquiddick River, a 40 km limo ride, and a 10 km run with the finish line in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel.

Staying on the subject of Dead Kennedys, here's a quick link for anyone in or close to the DC area who might want to visit RFK's namesake stadium one last time before it gets torn down:

I'll leave it for others to tilt about whether either of them belongs at an Irish music festival, and I don't think either of them translates all that well to that big a venue. Still. It's THEM.

Oooh. There's a definite handbasket somewhere with your name on it.

And mine too. Hee-hee.

The Kennedy Triathalon: ROTFLMAO!!! But I think the Chappaquiddick swim should be last, because as you know, no one makes it out of a Kennedy Event alive...well, except Teddy, whose entire body can be used as a floatation device.

It's still crazy to me that I met CL (literally, on their tour bus) through one of my other close friends and a day later found out they were big enough for my online friends to know and blog about. :D I wish to see them perform again. If you go, have fun and I'll enjoy myself vicariously through you.
