I was expecting to see someone in better shape.

I suspected she bulked up on fat purposely. She will need every damn calorie she can get to row the Pacific. If she makes it, she will not be fat when she rows under the Golden Gate Bridge.

Has anyone ever traversed the entire United States on rollerblades?

Has anyone ever crossed the Gobi Desert on pogo stick?

Has anyone ever swum the length of the amazon while juggling?

Someone needs to get onto these important feats as soon as possible.

I heard about a guy who tried and failed to rollerskate in a buffalo herd.

When you are rowing across the Pacific, what free time do you have?

Aren’t they like sprinter type rowers for only a short distance, and aren’t they much younger females, and dressed differently, in tight revealing clothes?

I tried fishing with a 2X4, but my arms got tired, I failed and my family now shuns me.
I was going to sell the story to National Geographic, In Fisherman and Home Handyman.

Baumstein said she intends to spend her free time at sea collecting data on global warming.

Why? I thought global warming was settled science, needing no further proof.

"Rowing for a Cause"

Yep. Cause she's an idiot.

Cross country rowing is safer, but it takes even longer.

Her data on global warming should be real useful :

Day one : “OMG it’s hot.” Row “OMG it’s so hot!” Row “OMG it’s so bright and hot!” Row, row, row, “Holy shiiite, it’s hotter than duckfeet on asphalt!” Row, row. “I wonder how hot it is?” Row. “Is it hotter than it was here last year?” Row, row “OMG, when is nightfall?” Row, row, “OMG it’s hot, hot, hot.” Row “IT’s as hot as the Devil’s dildo!” Row, row, “Al Gore, is that you? That da$% cloud looks like you after you put on some weight” row, row, row, “Must pee” row, row, row, “H##$, even my pee is hot!” Row, row, row, row, row, row, row, “For crying out loud give me some rain, just a little shower” row, row, row, “Oh, My Gore, gimme a breeze, please!” row, row, row, row, “Pleeeeeze, it’s so hot!” “Oh.. “ row, row, “Now that’s better, sun starting to dip.” Row, row, row...”Going down fast now,” row, row, “Ahhhh....” row “Oh, NOW you gimme rain.” Row, row, row, “OK, that’s enough now, I’m not hot any more!” Row, row, “Here comes some wind, ooooh, that’s really ch...ch...chill...chilllyyy.” Row, row, row, row, row, row, row, row, row, row, “OMG, it’s COLD! S-s-s-oo coold and dark!” Bump. Bump, bump, bump...”WTF was that?!” Rowrowrowrow, row, “gasp!” BUMP. Rowrowrowrowrowrowrow ...

Day Two
“Yawn. Not a wink of sleep last night. “ Row, row, row,...”Not a clound in the sky this morning, and it’s humid as one of Bill Clinton’s cigars ... “ Row, row, row, .... “OMG, it’s freaking hot!” ... “WTF was I thinking? Why didn’t I listen to Mom?” Row, row, ....

You shouldn’t wear loose clothing when rowing. Too much chafing.
