I posted this in an earlier thread, but I don’t think it got many views. It’s a picture of me near the Lincoln Memorial running the Marine Corps Marathon. I ran in the Clydesdale division. In case anybody was curious. This is what I look like. [http://www.asiorders.com/view\_user\_photo.asp?EVENTID=1333&ID=728526](http://www.asiorders.com/view_user_photo.asp?EVENTID=1333&ID=728526) ---

Wow. You look absolutely nothing like the image I had built of you in my mind. I know you work out a lot and all, but all that farmer talk threw me, I think. 🙂 You don’t look like no farmer. Yowza ---

**Scylla** , I’m impressed! That you ran, I mean. 😃 Seriously, a marathon is serious stuff. I have two friends who ran marathons BLS (before law school) and they loved it. In San Francisco, no less. One partner said she wouldn’t have run across the street to chase a $100 bill until she met this really cute girl who ran marathons! ---

Well, I always knew it, and now it’s confirmed. _Don’t piss Scylla off._ Good picture, **Scylla**. Looks a lot better than the race pictures of _me_, where I look like I’m about to fall over and die. ---

Maybe it’s the crappy lighting in this room, but I can’t see your face in that picture. So, are you a babe or what? Looks like you’ve got some serious legs, though. Mmmmmm. 😃 ---

Forget about the legs, would ya look at them shoulders and chest! Wowza indeed. But don’t forget we love you for your mind. Yeah that’s it your huge, sculpted, well-defined mind. 😃 ---

Okay, it looks like you need to relax your arms. Open up your chest, get some easy breathing, man! \ Cool, that is no mean feat, running in _and completing_ a marathon! ---

Scylla! Chasing after those sheep has made ewe a baaaaabe! Anyone who runs in marathons can’t be right in the head. ---

Hey… I just had an idear. Why not take this picture and put in a bunch of other popular pictures…like the Disaster Guy from the top of the WTC, only, " Unknown Man chasing the Taliban from Kabul." “Man running from bull runs in Pamploma.” “Man running on the moon.” With all the dopers here, we could send you clear around the world within moments. It is one thing to \*\*believe \*\* an urban legend. It is another story altoghether to \*start \* one. How do you feel about being famous? ---

You’re doing a damn sight better than I, who got hung up somewhere around the broad, chiseled chest. Clydesdale, indeed. 😃 I think, actually, that it may be the crappy lighting in your room. _I_ can see his face just fine, and he **is** a babe. Shame you’re missing out. 😉 I’m going off to grumble about Mrs. Scylla now. Oh… and Scylla? Congrats… a marathon is no small feat. You should be quite proud of yourself. -BK ---

Oh, dear one, dear benevolent ruler… I was so dazzled by your brilliance that it took me a good two or three minutes for my eyes to adjust to the beams of puuuuuure light that engulfed you in that picture… 😃 Considering the type of response you are getting, we will have no problem taking over the female half of the world… You take “care” of them, I’ll take care of the men… And we’re all set. World domination, here we come. Elly 😃 ---

I’m a face guy. And I can’t get a good look at yer face, Mr. Marathon Man. And the shadows in the pic make it hard to see much of anything else, either.☹ ---

Add one more to the long list of Doper crushes that I have. I gotta agree with Pers, those legs and that chest are positively delicious. ---

I’d like to point out that you can order prints of **Scylla** for your very own. I particularly recommend Package I, the Iwo Jima Memorial Plaque. Only $85. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/picture-of-me-running-marathon/93640.md?page=2)
