USBIKETREK 1992 Part 1
This is an article found and scanned the super-sweet SRF. (I always liked his version of the Casper Weinberger Illustration assignment best) I'm really really happy he did this....I'm very easy to please, but this was something that I'm deeply grateful he kept.
If you click on the picture, it should open up a pdf that you can read.
There's more to come on this, but at least you can get view from a 21 year old kid for the time being.
Geeze, what - you my twin or something? I wrestled in high school. I'm an Eagle Scout. Is this what the whole "identity theft" is about?
ReplyDeleteMan, you really DID bicycle across the nation. That's way cool! Especially for charity.
My hat's off to you, Mr. Bellie.
Hey Competitor Johnny Competitor - how's it feel to go from bicycling across the goddamn country to shoving down 20 hotdogs in 5 minutes? :)
ReplyDeleteactually it's 14 hot dogs
ReplyDeleteChris-
ReplyDeleteNESA Class 0f 86!!!
Be Prepared, my brother!
Birdy-
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel like a fatass!!!!
GB-
ReplyDeleteYou tell him, HONEY!!!
Ah, 14.
ReplyDeleteWell, that changes everything.
In an odd twist of timing, I got my Eagle in 85, just a few months AFTER I got through Army Basic Training. Figger that out.
ReplyDeleteA buddy of mine thinks you should use whole wheat buns. "Any time my wife makes me eat anything with whole wheat in it, I'm still hungry," he said. "There must not be anything in it."
My wife simply doesn't understand eating contests, rodeo clowns, or straight pipes. She does giggle every time she sees a midget, though. I don't know why.
jenne- FUNNY !!!
ReplyDeleteI would actually prefer to have whole wheat rolls, but the contest will have white rolls, so that is what I train with! I try to create the 'game conditions' so that there are less surprises at the actual event
ReplyDeleteI think most women dont understand those things. Kind of like the 3 Stooges...women just dont think it's funny....
Birdy once DROVE across country. I have the postcards...
ReplyDeleteJenne' KNOWS all about "game conditions" - she's wicked smaht!
If you DO (-insert religious deity here- forbid) get something stuck, have GerberDaisee take pics!! It helps the story.
*Ahem* - I drove across the country AND back AND went up into Canada before coming back. Do you save everything?
ReplyDeletebirdy: you came to canada and didn't even bother to take me out for a beer? jeez. just so you know, i would have made you bacon.
ReplyDeletesteakbellie: you know i think yer da bomb man but THIS is truly amazing and very inspiring. thanks for sharing the article...and good on ya. you should spend less time being neurotic about all the shit you worry about and more time resting on your laurels. and eating hot dogs.
if you have THAT much time you should be working on your blog instead!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKat,
ReplyDeleteBirdy's a real shit that way. He tried to come to Philly last summer without telling me he was around...but I caught his bitch-ass and made him buy me beer and a steak dinner on his company's dime.
My guess is that as soon as he was over the border, he bought several cartons of Palmall's and chainsmoked them...throwing the butts upon your pristine Canadian Highways with a sneer.
Kilometer after Kilometer he squinted over the wheel... searching for an accident to participate in.....
That is so cool that you did that ride. I'm really impressed!
ReplyDeleteThat is incredible. Great article.
ReplyDeleteYour name is Eric? I would have pegged you for a Keith or a Kevin.
That's funny - I thought he was a "Bart" or maybe "Zeke."
ReplyDeleteKeith or Kevin?
ReplyDeletethats offensive....
Now Bart! I wouldnt have to use the 'Steakbellie' moniker. That would rock.
