And in the Bahamas, Tim Don accepted Dark Mark's cornrow challenge.

Ben Hoffman liked the look so much that he got hair extensions. Which gave him the nerve to ask his girlfriend to marry him (she said yes).

Luke tried to join the fun, but had to go with the rasta hat & wig combo.

Tim looked so perfect in the cornrows that he starred in a remake of a famous film.

Liz Blatchford and Mitch Robins cruised to $7000 paychecks at Challenge Forster. Meanwhile, a stacked field competed for 2nd to 6th place scraps at the so-called "Australia pro championship" at ironman 70.3 Mandurah.

Up next: The visually robust ironman Brazil.

Nice swim motivator.

IM Brazil was boring. As usual, Mark and Scott got lost when they cut the course during their weekly ironwar re-enactment.

Jarrod Shoemaker sued the usat board for confusing him with jockey Willie Shoemaker and constantly making him pose with tall people.

Dude, I don't know if you need the motivation, but, please keep this up.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm never sure if people view this thread because they enjoy it or because it's like watching a trainwreck of stupidity.

BOTH :)

Jarrod Shoemaker, irate at reporting saying he had a "sorry" bike split, offered alternative explanations. Apparently he spent 5:00 in T1 trying to impress age groupers.

And spent 5:00 shivering in a towel after the non-wetsuit swim.

After which he tried to pick a fight with usat board member Jack Weiss, who had just poked fun at Shoemaker's bike.

And then he spent time looking Not Impressed with Gwen Jorgensen's t2.

Not sure which is making me LOL hardest... the movie poster? The thong'd butt? The naked guy in T1?

But after extensive investigation, the real reason was found: he dropped a spare part he'd stashed between his teeth, and then sat on the side of the road and cried for 5 minutes.

Sebastian Kienle debuted in a major film with Keanu Reeves.

Will he be ok?

And we learned of a photo shoot that really will break the internet.

USAT released their latest expenditures report. [thanks to Kay Serrar for this tip]

Nasa landed a spaceship on a comet and discovered the never-before-seen footage of the ironman 70.3 world championships.

Ironman Arizona has cancelled the swim after water quality tests revealed the lake is much cleaner than normal. A spokesman said, "Athletes are not prepared for this, and we're concerned for their safety."
