We Love Bikers!
(Well, sort of. Maybe I mean cyclists? Is there a difference?)
Anyway.
This morning, I woke up to a total fangirl dream come true.
For a couple of months now, something's been bothering me. I'd been catching up with an old friend and listening to some of her adventures in the procurement of guitar picks and sweaty towels from the gods of rockabilly, and it got me thinking. John Kerry (kind of) shreds! Where are my guitar picks?
Now, that's not an entirely sincere complaint, since Senate fangirls/ex-campaign workers can hoard all kinds of cool stuff, like Congressional programs and old volunteer credentials. And what would I do with an old towel, anyway? (A sweaty tie, on the other hand…)
But it is a somewhat sincere complaint, since we live in a time when entertainers act like politicians. And for me, that always begs the question: Why can't John Kerry act more like a rock star?
Well, this weekend, JK will be biking 111 miles in the Pan-Mass Challenge - don't swoon yet, that's not the best part of this. In honor of the occasion, he wants to give us his clothes.
With five jerseys to be autographed and sent, there is no way to tell whether all, some, or any will have been perspired upon - and no, not even I am gutsy enough to call up Friends of John Kerry and ask - but, who am I to look a gift horse of such magnitude in the mouth?
At the very least, it's a free shirt. Autographed by John Kerry.
One could do worse.
Now, if any of you know roughly how long it takes a fairly experienced cyclist, 62, male, with exceptionally long legs to ride 111 miles through the state he represents in the US Senate… you are probably entering the contest right now. So I will leave you to that.
Good luck, Kerrycrats, and Happy Tuesday!

OMG - I was just wondering the EXACT SAME THING!
"Does he wear these jerseys? Do I actually have the chance to own an item of clothing saturated in John Kerry's man scent??"
Man scent or no, it would be sweet as hell to win a JK jersey. I sincerely hope every winner is a tried and true Kerrycrat - who else would squee with equal delight?

This is why I need an etiquette book for groupies. How essential is man scent? (Or manscent or even man-scent?) Is it better than an autograph? Rock stars do not, to my knowledge, autograph their sweaty towels before hurling them into the crowd, so maybe the autograph is better?
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
Maybe just a *little* man-scent… LOL!
Let's hope so! Inasmuch as there may be as many of five man-scented jerseys by Sunday evening.
I don't think his wife would approve of us talking about owning his sweat. ;)
Anywho, Hi, I'm new. I too love John Kerry.
Raelynne, that may be true.
But given the nature of man-scent, she might also be glad to have the jerseys in question out of her home, right?
A bunch of chicks wanting Mr. Democrafty's sweaty duds would just mean less laundry for me, right?
That said, welcome! Thanks for joining in on the sweat talk :)
I think man-scent definitely rates above an autograph. He could dole out an autograph at any time - but how often do you get the chance to own an item of clothing that was pressed against his body, soaking up his perspiration?
Man scent wins, hands down.

Dude, I don't know!
What if it's man scent + autograph?
Man scent + autograph = the ultimate
