Run Down, Fired Up and Teed Off: Allegedly Humorous Commentary on Sport in the Post-Ironic Age
Run Down Fired Up and Teed Off Allegedly Humorous Commentary on Sport in the PostIronic Age Author:John L. Parker Jr. John L. Parker, Jr., is known primarily as the author of the running cult classic, "Once a Runner," which is pretty funny in its own way, but has a very serious side. Parker, however, is known to many as a humorist par excellance. "I've, well, I've been compared to David Letterman," he says, sheepishly. He adds: 'What they say is: 'Gee, he's not... more » nearly as funny as David Letterman'"
Audiences across the country have roared at his "Ten Things a Runner Has Never Said" (Example: "Well, This is my first marathon and I don't care about covering the distance, I want to win the damn thing.") Or "How to Run a Marathon in One Day a Week Training." (Hint: You get Tuesday through Sunday Off.)
So here, for you demented fans of Parker's weird sense of ha ha, is a collection of his humorous writing, which includes all the selections originally published in "Aerobic Chic & Other Delusions," plus some new ones.
