....aaaand then they figured that it is crazy to let the people on foot compete
in Marathon against creative people on the animals, bikes, cars, planes, trains
in the same category. So they created CATEGORIES with some rules, so people on
foot did not bitch about people on wheels.
....aaaand then came the transgenders, FTwhatever, rentastations and screwed
things up arguing that people have rights.
....aaand if reason did not prevail, things started to go nuts and sane people
figured no more fun in competition, they turned to activities that were
satisfying and rewarding, like fighting communism and fake media.
I am retiring to focus on digitizing my photo/video archives so my kids could
see how it used to be.
