Miss Anne, your constant sniping makes me believe you fear being ousted as 'Troll of the Year' in
'03. And I must confess your quips have been slipping a little of late. May I suggest you summon up
one last burst of witticism as we go into the final month of the year? The judges are always
impressed by a strong finisher, or at least that's what 'Wobbot and the boys' are always telling me.

Roger.

Yes, nobody else is stupid enough to run in that [censored].

Being TOTY for 2002 didn't bring me nearly as much notoriety as I expected. Hell, I never even got
my tiara. And you're right. Not all of my posts are keepers, but you have to consider the subject
matter. You joggers aren't the most exciting specimens walking the earth. I can only work with the
tools and resources at hand, and unfortunately, my resources are some of the most mundane critters
that ever got spit out of a womb. Another problem is that I spread myself too thin. Between
trolling here, rec.sport.golf,

C'mon now, that's got to be way too easy...

What? You'll be forever remembered as the *first* winner of the award. Damn well make me green with
envy just thinking about it...

I never promised you one, just a place in the hearts of the rec.runners.

Huh. Which of us can claim that?

I can't argue with that. We runners have a marked tendency towards dull introspection. OTOH, we have
some pretty nifty running shorts in mighty bright colours. There's an upside to everything you know.

montage of other newsgroups devoted to the dimwit lifesyle, I just can't hit homers as often as
when I was a young girl. Regards, Anne

Ah, the time demands of a modern Miss! Just wait 'till you have to cook,

these halcyon days of carefree trolling and smile sweetly to yourself at the memory.

No. I've noticed serious weakness on "greasy" surfaces (not to the impossible to run stage but
anyroad). Definitely not a pair to take to a XC meet. But I love the shoes otherwise and as it
doesn't rain too often here...
