Donkey Question...???

Per the head donkey:

"The head donkey is the beloved Donkey who bleated his early morning blessing two seasons ago.� The Donkey Nation strives to catch the carrot through growth and nourishment of the inner donkey through stubborn and steady training practices.� All one needs to do is make their donklaration to the pace." -jszat '08

In the simplest terms, like PJ said, the Donkeys are a low-key tri-club, not like that stuffy Tri-WI group . Great bunch of people who enjoy tris, hang together at events, support those competing, sometimes hang together outside of tris and seem to enjoy one another's company, generally. The rituals used to gain acceptance into the club are closely guarded, but they involve Jolly Ranchers and Zima.

Our club leader is a dude by the handle of Jszat, but our spiritual advisor is a donkey who lives in rolling hills of southern Waukesha county. On quiet nights, if you listen closely enough, you can hear his bleating when you face SW....um yeah. Seriously Jszat and another BTer Morey1 came upon our spiritual leader while on a training ride several years ago. We pay him homage with a group ride every Spring and whenever a training ride passes his realm.

sheep bleat. donkeys bray.  dammit DOJ!  get your barnyard animal sounds straight.  when does a pig say moo? when its on a bacon and blue cheese burger ya cant eat after your stomach shuts down all day.  you'll see! yeah, im not getting much work done today.

In other words, it's a big joke. 

OK, that's not true.  It started as a joke, but with the vision of jszat and some donkey gear, and a bunch of cool people, it's became something of an informal club.  You need training partners, a good time, or some really bit#hin' clothing with huge donkey-heads and carrots on them, we're the group for you. 

Donkeys are stubborn and steady...getting the job done despite all obstacles.  Rarely are style points awarded.  That's us.

Maybe not for you, Morey, but I gots plenty of style....

And yes, in general, we actually like each other and hang out outside the realms of triathlons (though we generally talk about them a lot).

yeah, guys who run in their bike helmets rarely get any style points...........just sayin.......

sigh. . . . you just had to get them started, didn't you?

why do you hate the donkeys?

yeah, why so  anti-EEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW????

I am not anti-donkey.  I love you all like family. . . you know, the cousin that is friendly, nice, but got dropped on his head as a child and is sometimes just a bit "off?"

Just a tad sensitive today?? 

 Ever heard of the sarc font?

Apparently a standardized sarcasm font needs to be agreed upon.  Let us know when the white paper is ready. :-P

If you didn't know, there is actually a sarc font here on BT

[ sarc ] blah [ / sarc] (minus the spaces)

Or, red italics.

I don't think it is entirely possible to catch the carrot.  See the carrot transforms as you move towards it.  Right now the carrot is a sprint and finishing for me but as I do that it will become completing an Oly etc.

or.......you just freakin eat it!!!

I think you are hungry today Davey.
