Lampoon Of The Year Award

Big Man Run IX
2004
 

A Perfect Big Man....Lampoon Of The Year Award retired!!

Big Man Run VIII
2003

The "Ladies" Who Did Not Run In 2003, But Who Cried A Whole Bunch in 2002

Impossible to pick anyone in-house this year that was worthy of the award: Biggest "Big Man" Ever, Outstanding Day,
Papa Clyde Was Never Without A Beer In-Hand, Khoury's State Spa Had It's Best Day Financially In Years
(not bad since there was another race a week before and 300 more-some just promote themselves), And No One Got Lost:>)

So I have decided to give this year's award to all those who still are grinding their teeth over getting lost in 2002
and are still lost in their lives:>)..cause it takes pretty BIG MEN to forgive and to continue their support for a great
event and a crew that always works it's ass off..THANKS GUYS & GALS YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

Big Man Run VII
2002

The Race Director-Paul W. Collyer

This years award could have tilted a number of ways on the Lampoon of the Year Award scale, reason being that a few guys who signed the BMR Creed then went and broke the creed by complaining of mamouth proportions..not nary a peep of complaints since BMR V-when Mike Fertsch of the "new" Somerville Road Runners complained of not enough free beer (he would have received the award that year-however it did not exist). Papa Clyde has never felt for his life...like he did in 2002 (only for a split second) --but he is a stand-up guy (feel like Wade Boggs here)..and after many Harpoons and a basket of onion rings--the Lampoon of the Year Award Committee has elected to stick this years award smack dab on the Race Directors forehead...letting 52 get lost is one thing, letting them get lost for 5-8 additional miles is of mammoth proportions and is deserving of something:>)
 

Big Man Run VI
2001

The 2001 Skinny Champion-Dave Mitzi

It has been customary that our champions not only do the right thing by walking through the crowds and shaking every hand as well as letting all know that they are the champs..BUTT the most important is making sure that Papa Clyde does not have a empty hand...especially when he has a brand new golf shirt with a snazzy embroidered Big Man Run VI on it for the champeens efforts..

Leaving early before the awards is akin to not showing up to football practice the week before the
Big Thanksgiving Football Game..a no-no at any Big Man Run:>)
