It’s officially race season– Boston’s world-famous marathon is this Monday, St. Louis’ is on Sunday, and Nashville’s is next Saturday. It’s enough to make even the most shiftless degenerates among us think about maybe getting in shape. Possibly. (Screw it, there’s always next year.)

The photo above from flickr user ultraclay! was taken in 2006 at (obviously) the Thomas G. Labrecque Classic, a four-mile race in New York’s Central Park. This year’s TGL race is going to be held this Sunday in Central Park, so if you’re in New York, head on out there to see some of the whitest thighs this great nation has to offer.

Woody Harrelson chases zombies through La Guardia – breaks zombie camera

by Scott Carmichael on

Woody Harrelson flew into New York La Guardia airport, and was “greeted” by a photographer from AOL sister site TMZ.com.

Now, normally when celebs meet face to face with the paparazzi, they put on a smile, let them take a couple of photos, and get into their car.

There are of course celebrities that don’t like being photographed, so they take it out on the poor cameraman. In Woody Harrelson’s case, he didn’t see a cameraman, he saw a Zombie.

And apparently, the normal thing to do when you see a zombie is punch it in the face and smash its camera.

Of course, at that point the photographer/zombie didn’t give up like most people would, so he chased Harrelson outside the terminal building, to the parking lot.

You can’t make this stuff up – Harrelson really claimed he mistook the guy for a frikkin zombie.

According to Woody Harrelson, he is currently shooting a movie called Zombieland, and he was “still very much in character”.

I swear, if that excuse gets him out of trouble, I’m going to start using next time I get harassed by airport security.

A video of the “kerfuffle” can be found on TMZ.com, to make matters worse for Harrelson, this is not the first time the actor has been involved in an assault of a photographer, another TMZ.com photographer has a $2.5 Million lawsuit pending for an alleged attack in 2006.
