Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, had handed out this special republican campaign shampoo for weeks. Rock washed his hair with it near the start of a long run, where many people would soon gather, and suddenly felt compelled to rinse away the telltale red foam. He didn't want people to think he endorsed any particular cause or party. All Rock cared about was the free shampoo.
Seconds after that note of frugalness, Rock realized he had forgotten to bring any energy gel. He stood near fellow runners Rob Wistrand, Ken Starnz, several women, including Elaine Gimblet and Kacey Smith, and Kurt "The Run and Puke Kid" Wagner, a good friend since high school.
"Aw, shit, I forgot to bring any Gu," Rock said. "I got nine million tubes of it at home, and I got none here in my pants. And I'm out of luck. You know, you just can't go buy Gu on a moments notice."
"No, you can't," someone said. "You just can't."
"It's almost impossible to find, and then when you do, it seems as if it's always tied in with some other special," Rock said. "You know, like, 'Buy ten tubes of Gu and we'll give you two pairs of running panties.' Plus, it never fails, I go into a running store for a few tubes of Gu, and I end up spending a hundred and seventy-eight dollars on all sorts of other crap."
