No matter where I go...

Or 13.1 sticker

That's even worse. You can't go the distance but you still want to brag and run with the big boys.

I've got a 1.02 sticker from a doughnut and running nano-marathon.

Huh. I thought those random number stickers where obscure Bible verses.

Those would be the ones with colons, not periods.

It took me forever to figure out what the "marathon badges" were for. You know, the stickers with a random number on them?

Even now that I know the purpose is to make sure everyone knows you've completed a marathon (because what's the point of completing a marathon if people don't know you did), I feel like they're pretty ridiculous. You can buy them anywhere, and it's not like anyone verifies your story. I wanted to get one just on the offhand someone asks me about it.

"What? Oh, no, I don't run. That's my record for number of tacos eaten in one minute."

Huh. I thought that was their favorite digital TV channel. 13.1 is WTHR in Indy, 59.1 is FOX, 4.1 is WTTV, etc.

Like John 3:16 "Sitteth thee in the endzone with a large sign"

Heh, well; that guy...

LOL. I have an old "WNAP wrath of the Buzzard" sticker.

Hey you stole the other half of my avatar!

ive seen the CC ones before and "knew" that it was for Cross Country. The OC one on the other hand Im not sure ........

I do like the 5.56 one though, would like a 50bmg one to put on my beater of a truck. Yes, I am one of those people that have guns worth more than one my truck.

I think they're just showing you that running is their hobby. The same reason people have "I'd rather be fishing!" bumper stickers, or the Browning deer, NRA, how many kids they have, truck nuts, "Obama 2008" or any other bumper sticker. Every single one of them is equally pretentious.

If I ever finished a marathon or a half marathon you're damn right I'd have a sticker on my car. Its a major achievement.

On a side note..I would LOVE to get one that says 0.25 and has a silhouette of a funny car popping a wheelie underneath of it.

Said it better than I could.
