Uh, you got me. The employees at the Arizona Blockbuster store where the manager posted this sign were similarly stumped. Writes our submitter: “I’m all for recycling, but I have to wonder who’s forcing her to run a 100k marathon…not to mention what that has to do with recycling paper.”

No. She needs to read the bible again. She’s completely wrong. God doesn’t give a rat’s ass about recycling… Buddha, however, is all over that shit! And don’t even get me started on Mohammed and his stinky compost bin…

A 62 mile run is a hell of a lot of community service. I’d rather pick-up trash along the roadside…not like I’m not used to picking up trash along the roadside, and some of those girls are really sweet.

God’s way?
We’re talking Waste Management. That’s more like Soprano’s way, and he’d be all for all the personal info you could provide.

I am just about to do the Sydney Marathon and I can’t wait to finish and finally be able to preface all my requests with the self-righteous phrase “If I can run a Marathon…”
Although it is tough going and a part of me slightly forgives this person for wanting to use every opportunity to brag about their physical undertaking… did I mention that I am going to run the Sydney Marathon?

i really want to see what’s in the note on the top right. it has an exclamation point and the same awesome marker/highlight tango going on. so it must be important.

Lo, if thy name or address of thy tent shall be on it, cast thine tablet of clay unto the sea. All other brethren, save a tree, lest thine elder brother is required to journey all his days, yea, many furlongs. Such sacrifice is required of him, to allow all slackers to take part in the celebration of that which is worldly, and haseth coming attractions and vile language within, which is of Satan.

I’m pretty sure that there isn’t any god out there who gives a flying fuck about whether you recycle or run a marathon.

You’re mostly right, aaa.
However, in the deity community, there are a couple of newbies who kinda follow these types of activities in a half-assed, youtube/fark-ish sort of way.

As an ultra-runner myself, I find this extremely embarrassing.

I’m not sure if anyone else has pointed it out yet, but 100 kilometers is not a marathon. It’s not even close. It’s not even close to a double marathon. It’s more like 62-63 miles.

It’s not a 100K marathon.
It’s the Look Marathon.

She wants to say, She has to run 100k marathon so other bitches should recycle everything except for stuff with personal information on it. Just in case, if you have trouble deciphering it. It took me only five attempts. I spotted false irony at first. I thought she says no posting of personal info on this board and right after she says she has to run 100K marathon!
I hope she does not run the way she thinks. It would go something like this. If she is advancing in North and wants to turn at west then her right foot advances in North and left in east while she gazes in west self righteously at bystanders.

This note isn’t passive aggressive. Can’t you just feel the love that the heart-studded exclamation points emit?
Also, this is probably another good indicator of why Blockbusters are continuing to close their doors – their managers are too damn exhausted to manage anything after having run 62 miles. Obviously.

I’m hoping that all the employees snapped a quick photo and printed it so they can have a little something to slide across the table and set the tone for the next performance evaluation.
I have notebooks full. I am an excellent employee.

Actually, it doesn’t look like it says she’s running one 100k marathon; it looked to me like she’s running 100,000 marathons. That wouldn’t be hard if they were each, say, an inch long. But what her God has to do with recycling is a complete mystery.

I’m thinking she’s taking part in an Ultramarathon… The IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) runs 100 km marathons, although I’m not sure how often. Very infrequently, I’m assuming.

After falling dead of exhaustion around kilometer 30:
Note-writer: ugh, where am I?
God: You died, you nong.
N-W: Why? I was running the 100k marathon as per your will!
G: Uh, I never said anything of the matter.
N-W: Oh…
G: On the other hand you should have minded your plastic bottles in the proper container. I feel not much sympathy for people destroying the nice world I made.
N-W: Uh-oh.
G: Also, I’m pretty sure I wrote somewhere about not calling people “your bitches”… unless, you know, you’re actually pimping them.

A marathon?That’s so cute. I’m about to do a f*****g Ironman, so you when you’re done with your little jog, do you mind coming into the office and sorting the recycling. Then go home and take a nap. And then go see a movie. Then when that’s done, you can come see me at the finish line.
