Also, in the spirit of good fun and in the name of good causes, I'll be running the course myself purely for exhibition purposes. The Sandiego Foundation will make a contribution to a charity of the solo winner's choice in the amount of one thousand dollars for every obstacle I clear, and additionally will match in value any outside donations from businesses that agree to sponsor me for the same endeavor. There's no limit or minimum to a sponsorship donation; all we ask is that it be a sum per obstacle cleared, whatever that sum might be.

Daring feats of athletic skill; I think this will be fun, don't you?

[frisyr]

Oh man, who wants to make a team?

[penalizing]

!!!!!
granted i prefer kinniku banzuke over sasuke
but it's still my second favorite

so i'm definitely going to find a team for this!!

[belligerentwarrior]

"acts of retrospec"

what a way to put it.

[doitrockapella]

My lawyers seem to think I'm being facetious, and I'm happy to let them operate under that assumption.

[belligerentwarrior]

acts of nature, god, and retrospec. i bet some lot of us would be willing to shell out for insurance that covered that.

good on you to consider that.

[doitrockapella]

It always fascinated me a little bit, the part about including "acts of God" in releases from legal liability. The language just doesn't seem to have a better turn of phrase for "things we couldn't possibly have foreseen or accounted for but that just ended up happening anyway".

[twelfthspark]

Tell us more about those fabulous prizes*.

[doitrockapella]

The glory of the achievement isn't reward enough in and of itself?

[sketchythief]

so is this basically... having to get through an obstacle course?

[ guess who's never seen this ]

[penalizing]

basically!!!
usually the obstacles are pretty tough so a lot of people fail miserably
but it looks like it might be fun anyway

[twelfthspark]

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. It's just nice to know what comes with it.

[sketchythief]

maybe all that running to school will definitely feel like it counts somehow

if youre still making that team, ill join

[penalizing]

yay!!!
congrats you are officially team member #2
we're going to be the best ninjas, just you wait!!

[sketchythief]

i just looked at the solo videos and they look pretty hard... i understand going through one of those but thats a LOT of obstacle courses

do teams just kinda help each other out and try to get everyone across?

[penalizing]

yeah...
honestly i'll be happy if we make it through the first one at least!!
i dunno how hard the obstacles will be so let's just do our best

that's what i'd guess???
i dunno, i don't think they ever actually did teams on the tv show...

[sketchythief]

oh...



does this mean youre gonna go practice rock climbing at the gym now??

[penalizing]

....i guess i should huh???
but that doesn't sound all that fun...

[sketchythief]

it looks like theyre opening training sessions on saturday ...

that much is okay right? a lot of people will be there too!

and you can probably laugh at them in secret if they keep failing i guess

[penalizing]

yeah i guess training sessions wouldn't be too bad!!!
those would probably be a lot more helpful then just exercising too

and obviously we have to laugh at everybody who fails miserably!!!
that's like rule number one of ninja warrior

[sketchythief]

but in return we gotta not fail as much so nobody will laugh at us ;_;

[penalizing]

that's a good point.....
we'll just have to train really hard at the training sessions!!!!

[me_matey]

hell to the YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH BOOIIIIIII im in

[sketchythief]

yeah!

though im curious... how many pullups can you do

[penalizing]

probably not that many... upper body strength isn't really my specialty
that's why i was planning on having a teammate take all the hanging obstacles if we get to split them up
