Volunteers Needed.

On Saturday, May 10 we are going to need a total of 21 volunteers. If you don’t volunteer we will pick you and you won’t have a choice (just like the prayers at church) so it’s in your best interest to volunteer. We will need a photographer, 2 bandagers, 10 water-bottle-hander-outers, 4 personal trainers, 2 massage therapists, and 2 people who can dump a big thing of Gatorade on us. Why all of the hoop-a-lah? Because we’re running the 5k Susan G. Komen “Race for the Cure.” That’s right, we’re racing for the cure. Not the English rock band “The Cure,” but the pink-bracelet-breast-cancer “The Cure.”

As some of you may already know, the 5k is the third longest race in the world (the first longest is the marathon, the second longest is the 10k)… so needless to say this is a big deal. However, we’ve already started training so you don’t need to worry.

Now, listen up you who are going to volunteer - here are your assignments:

Bandagers – you need to properly wrap us to prevent chaffing (refer to the ‘Fun Run’ episode of The Office).

Water-bottle-hander-outers – there are 10 of you, that’s 2 per k in the 5k… so do the math and figure out where you need to be to get us the water we will need. Also, you can fill some of the water bottles with coca-cola classic and we won’t get mad at you.

Personal Trainers – your job is to make sure we properly stretch our major muscle groups before the race… with that in mind, we’ll need you to show up a few hours early.

Massagers – self explanatory. We’re going to need massages after the race, so bring your portable massage tables and oils to the finish line.

Gatorade Dumpers – we need you to dump a big thing of Gatorade on us when we cross the finish line.

Photographer – we want pictures of everything, so whoever ends up volunteering for this better be experienced.

Finally, we have a race website… http://www.active.com/donate/komenslc2008/kslcJGOUGH so if you don’t volunteer to help us you are required to donate cold hard cash to the cure (via the website). Have a great week everyone, we’ll keep you posted as we continue our training and prepare for the race.

BAM! right in the face

Just when you all though we would never write in this blog again – SHAZAAAMMMM!!!! We knock you right in the face with another awesome entry. Now, let’s get down to business – first of all we would like to thank all of you for your heart-felt requests for us to update our blog. Since our last entry we’ve had 6,784,902 requests for a blog update (2 of those requests came from our dear friend Atom). For those of you who don’t know Atom you are missing out – Atom is president of the “Cool People Who Have Cool Cousins Club” (aka CPWHCCC).* Not only is he freaking awesome but he also won a sweet flat panel TV from a sweepstakes. Anyone who wins a sweepstakes automatically gets spotlighted on our blog.**

Ok now for our second item of business – a lot of you still owe us money. Several weeks ago we started charging people to read our blog and we only got payment from about half of you (you non-payers know who you are, so stop being wimps and pay up – everyone else is paying their fair share and so should you).

And now we will gracefully whop each and every one of you upside the head with this week’s mandatory blog-tivity:

Which one of these people did Katie have a crush on when she was in 2nd grade?

1. Neil Patrick Harris
2. Richard Dean Anderson
3. Dave Coulier
4. Jaleel White

We have a prize for anyone who gets the answer right (this is a medium-good prize).

For those of you who have been half-heartedly reading this entry and not really paying attention (in the same manner you read your scriptures when it’s late at night) now is the time to start paying attention. SUMMER IS STARTING AND WE ARE HAVING A SUMMERTIME-KICKOFF-ROCK-CONCERT-BBQ-SNOWCONE-OTTERPOP-SLIPNSLIDE PARTY TO KICK IT OFF. We will have a fire pit, marshmallow roasting, rotisserie pork, rock-n-roll music, and other cool stuff at the party. Everyone who is not a total dork will be there – so you better get ready. And you better pay attention because we might have it at your house.

Finally, we would like to comment on your comments. In our last blog entry, we thanked you for the comments you were about to leave (see the second-to-last sentence) – well, my peeps, 11 is not going to cut it. We demand more. So, with that in mind we are offering a special prize for everyone who leaves a comment if we get more than 20 comments. And the prizes are good – they’re not stupid waffle irons and other wedding junk like we’ve given out to past prize-winners. These prizes are dang awesome so you better get to commenting.***


* This club is fake – it doesn’t even exist. If it ever becomes a real club and you want to be a part of it then you have to ask Atom because he automatically gets to be President of it if he wants.

**You may or may not actually get spotlighted. If you win the Ed McMahon Publisher’s Clearinghouse sweepstakes you have a better chance of being spotlighted than if you win something dumb.

*** You’re probably only going to get one prize at a time, so don’t waste a bunch of time trying to win every single thing on our blog – you should focus on one prize and try your hardest until you win it. Then if you have time to try for another prize you can go ahead and try to get more than one prize.
