“Anything that smiles often needs to be reminded that the world is a cruel, dark place.”
The Oatmeal, 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth and Other Useful Guides

“Crunches are an exercise where you lie on your back and angrily try to head-butt your crotch.”
Matthew Inman, The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances (Volume 5)

marathon: (noun)
A popular form of overpriced torture wherein participants wake up at ass-o-clock in the morning and stand in the freezing cold until it's time to run, at which point they miserably trot for a god-awful interval of time that could be better spent sleeping in and/or consuming large quantities of beer and cupcakes.
