Transcript:
Brad: "Here, dad. Put on your sunscreen and racing bib while I duct tape your shoes to your legs so you don't lose 'em in the mud"
Dad: "This is a whole new level of father-son bonding"
Frank should be “flashing back” to Brad’s old “velcro shoe” days, right about now…-
Sort of reminds me of a quote I heard from a mom: "Don’t ever make fun of me for having to teach me to use the computer or a new gadget,because I’m the one who showed you how to use a spoon! " – Plus, a good lesson has been reinforced, here… “Is there anything duct tape can’t fix?”
“No Business Like Shoe Business”“Socks And Bonds”“Preparation Haste”
“Bond Is Word”“Masters Of The Turn Table”“A Brace In A Good Place, To Ace A Well Paced Race”“Turnabout Is Fair Play”“Here Comes The Sun….screen….” (♫)“Sure Footed”“Safety First!”“If It Makes A Sound Like A Duct Tape, It Probably Is”or“The Shoe Must Go On”
I don’t think “ripped skin” will be as big a deal, if his socks are “a mile high”. Seems to be no protection for his shins’ skin, though! – But I think the bigger issue will be the “combined residue” accumulated between the tape and his flesh, from the sweat…the mud…the soggy etc…
I’m glad that Brad and his father can be so close to one another, before the heart attack on the course. I’ll miss Frank, but the story will be re-energized by the changes his passing causes.
I’ve never run a mud run, so can you please inform?1) Are the shoes ever usable again?2) Do you only wear disposable clothes?3) Is there a prize at the end for speed, or does everyone just get a bottle of water, bagel, and banana?4) How deep is the mud?5) Are there worms in the mud?6) Is the mud natural or is it shipped in?*Thank you if you can educate us novices.
5Well, this is getting mildly more interesting, and thus far, no “Dopey Dad” schtick. If this goes in a good direction, Frank will participate in the race, finish last or next-to-last, but he will finish…. become pretty damn proud of himself, and then fitness and training will become a part of his everyday activity. And, after he completes this mud run, he will be completely exhausted, but happy…. and will be invited out to have a couple of beers with the other participants.
They’re starting to tell people to wear protective ggles or better glasses — a woman just lost an eye in an event like this by getting mud in her eyes during the obstacle course. The mud scratched the eye and introduced a fast acting bacterial infection. She was blinded in under a week.
“I’ve heard that some people have gotten very upset when there was no period.”*I, for one, am passed that stage. Do you still get bothered by missing periods, Caldonia?

I’ve heard that some people have gotten very upset when there was no period. , , , , , ’-———————————Do you mean like Luann might be?.Or Quill for that matter.
It seems as if the main point of this arc won’t have much to do with Frank’s physical health after all. Instead, might be a mental health (job stress) issue…

It’s going to be quite painful when un-taping.

Wow. This is some hard-core mud racing. Frank is so out of his element! Is your CPR up to date, Brad?
awgiedawgie Premium Member almost 9 years ago
I hope Frank remembered to wear some tall tube socks. Duct tape takes no prisoners.

Brad, if You REALLY Loved Your Father, You’d “Duct Tape” His Butt to a Nearby Tree So He’d be UNABLE to Participate In This Insanity.

Still hoping that Frank backs out at the last minute. Can’t imagine that he’s really in shape for this…

Whenever there are no periods, it really bugs me This is a joke, notice there is no period

I hope the arc has jumped forward, because one or two days of training under Brad’s supervision won’t be enough for Frank.

One day of training in the gym for Frank. Must be an accelerated program…..

That pun is probably the most nonsensical I’ve ever read. I have no idea what it means, LOL!

Father and shoe bonding, I think.

It seems like old leather combat boots would be perfect for this because IT’S WHAT THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR.

Hard to believe there are 200 people in Pitts who would want to be in a Mud Run.
Unless they started the racing tags at number 190.
