Matt Damon is looking to run the Boston Marathon this April. Gee, must be
nice to go through life not having to pay at restaurants or qualify for
races.

Can't anyone just pay extra to get into Boston? I thought they had some
kind of charity deal.

Anyway, famous people getting a free pass into an event is nothing new.
The sponsors like the publicity.

"Metropolitan Life," by Ms.
Fran Lebowitz. Here's another
Hint:

"I had barely recovered from the appellative blow
struck by SoHo (South of Houston Street) when
I received a quick left to the sensibility in the form
of NoHo (North of Houston Street). Head bloody
but unbowed, I dropped my guard and TriBeCa
(Triangle Below Canal Street) scored a T.K.O
in the very first sound."

That really gripes me. Yes, there are charities you can use to get into the
race but even those are difficult to get into!!
He should have to qualify like the rest of us. However, If I were the race
director I'd probably let him in too, they'll get a lot of attention with
him being there by nonrunners. Me, I don't give a hoot how well he runs...

Yeah, I gotta admit I don't mind at all that a lot of non-runners of
my acquaintance know about the NYC Marathon, thanks to P. Diddy. Those
races don't need publicity to get more entries, Goddess knows, but
they're adding value for their sponsors fer shur.

While I agree with your general sentiment, Matt Damon will not be the
only non-qualified entrant. There are a variety of
corporate/charity/sponsor slots given each year.

He said he kicked a 15 year, two pack a day smoking habit last Feburary.
He could be an inspiration to ex-smokers if he does OK in the race.
