Miss Ohio Bikes Across Ohio

So, thought I would post this because it's a great story.

This is my friend Ellen that I went to Ball State University with and she is biking across Ohio in 27 days, 850 miles for the Children's Miracle Network. She's a super awesome person. I ran live sound for our singing and dancing group, the Ball State University Singers and she was a cast member in it so I got to know her pretty well. One of the kindest hearts, incredibly smart, motivated and goal driven, and real down to earth. Sometimes people get a misconception that Miss America contestants are all beauty and no brain, she's definitely not.

She will be competing in Miss America 2012 and it's exciting to say I know her.

It must be hard to keep the bugs from getting stuck in her teeth.

Was the crash worthiness of her tiara certified by CPSC?

Gotta love Slowtwitch. Go on a monthlong ride for charity, get bashed for what you wear.

But her seat is too low.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

I don't know, I imagine many will say her seat looks pretty good...

Good for her. Nice to see a pageant winner doing something active like this. I happen to be one of those people that hate pageants - especially when kids are involved - but can't fault her for doing this bike tour. Hope she brings some happiness to the children in the hospitals.

Don't go outside and take pictures of yourself dressed like a Fred, then post said pictures on the Interwebz if you don't want to be called out for being a Fred.

Just because one's sense of aesthetics is different from that of Slowtwitch's does not preclude one from gratuitous commentary. Your cause - however noble it may or may not be - does not for a "get-out-jail-free" card make.

I dunno, but I'd love to help her install some hardwood.

Edit: dammit, beat to the punch. But I like my line better, so it stays.

I doubt she gives a rats ass about whether you or anyone else on here thinks she looks like "a fred"... geesh, get a life. She is trying to do something positive, so unless you are doing anything remotely as worthwhile for others, think about your comments before you make them.
