Jan 15th, 2020 : Pedestrianism At the end of the 19th century when the automobile was a novelty of the rich Quote:
It seems there were three types of races, first where the fastest time for a set distance won. The second where the most distance in a set time period was the winner, the third, like the first, the winner was the fastest time for a set distance but also a limit on the maximum time allowed. It appears they weren’t free-for-alls, at the top level anyway, but more like an invitational were you had to prove some prowess in the minors before getting a shot at the big leagues. This proves once again Americans will watch, and bet on, anything they think their neighbors are watching or even suspect they want to watch. Don’t risk becoming a social pariah by not watching Milton Berle, Saturday Night Live, or The Game of Thrones. link Gravdigr Wednesday Jan 15 02:28 PM I'm reminded of The Ministry of Silly Walks...
