Why is TC so down on Mali?

Why has Global aka LanceAndrew fallen completely off the rails? Again?

Why is Doug perpetually grumpy?

Why does Dot never say nice things to me?

Why is Donovan so serious?

Why does Matt never tell us about his tri experiences?

Why this obsession with GPS? Don't you *know* where you are and can't you *remember* where
you've been?

Why would anyone want to run whilst listening to music?

Why hasn't Oz published his running guideline pamphlet?

Why is Karen so injury-prone?

Why doesn't the 049 girl tell us bike-tales?

Why hasn't Mr Sanchez really driven over TBR?

Why to people buy Mizuno shoes? They're ****.

Why has no-one said how wonderful the Pearl Izumi shoes look?

Who makes the *best* white running T shirt?

Where shall I run this afternoon?

Should I have beans and rice for my dinner this evening?

Shall I let the cats in? Or leave them outdoors in the windy wind?

Do I *really* have to go a run in this windy wind? Will I be safe?

Why are questions more fun than answers?

Why would we care :)

:
: Why is Doug perpetually grumpy?

Yeah, I noticed that, too. I thought runners were a friendly people... Maybe he's from a
different tribe.

:
: Why does Dot never say nice things to me?

Ummm...I don't know. But I will- I love your name. Vanilla Sky was one of my favorite movies.
Penelope Cruz says that to Tom Cruise in the bar scene. Loved it!

:
: Why is Donovan so serious?

Check out his web page and find out- maybe it's his religious beliefs. Or his math/engineering-style
personality...

:
: Why does Matt never tell us about his tri experiences?

?????

:
: Why this obsession with GPS? Don't you *know* where you are and can't you *remember* where
: you've been?

You know this one- distance. We runners are totally anal-retentive.

:
: Why would anyone want to run whilst listening to music?

Why would we run indoors on treadmills? Because some of us have to or else our knees blow-up and we
die from lack of exercise...

:
: Why hasn't Oz published his running guideline pamphlet?

He says he gave up weed many years back, but I've read his posts and I think he still tokes a bit.

:
: Why is Karen so injury-prone?

Why have I seen Janet's breast over and over again on TV, except this time, it's fuzzy and/or
pixelated?

:
: Why doesn't the 049 girl tell us bike-tales?

What kind of designation is 007? It doesn't sound all that tough.

:
: Why hasn't Mr Sanchez really driven over TBR?

Yeah, we care about that one...(sarcasm strongly implied...)

:
: Why to people buy Mizuno shoes? They're ****.

Only 2 people? I love them- the Alchemy 3's are amazing. I have 3 pairs right now.

:
: Why has no-one said how wonderful the Pearl Izumi shoes look?

:
: Who makes the *best* white running T shirt?

Fonzie?

:

away...

:
: Should I have beans and rice for my dinner this evening?

who do you want to offend tomorrow?

:
: Shall I let the cats in? Or leave them outdoors in the windy wind?

Get those poor cats in. On a totally unrelated topic- how about chinese tonight?

:
: Do I *really* have to go a run in this windy wind? Will I be safe?

Yes, and no.

:
: Why are questions more fun than answers?

Why do you ask?

Grumpy? This is my best. Being a curmudgeon takes practice.

One good question.

We all have are toys.

Asked and answered.

Ozzie?

Karen??

Why would she have bike tales in the winter in Minnesota with a foot in pain?

> Why hasn't Mr Sanchez really driven over TBR?

To run him over is to recognize TBR existence?

> Why to people buy Mizuno shoes? They're ****.

Like excretion organs and opinions, everyone has one. FWIW Runner's world gave the Wave Creation
high marks.

> Why has no-one said how wonderful the Pearl Izumi shoes look?

If it wasn't for this months Runner's world I never would have known they made shoes. The comments
were not good so until they beef up the quality, we will never get to see them in a local store.
They make some great looking clothes but they also function well.

Hanes? Fruit of the loom? `

In the bathtub?

Depends on when you plan to barbecue them.

The bathtub solves this decision.

They are?

Tribe? Politically incorrect and maybe the source of friction. ;)

It's the backlash of science.

Yes, tmills a valid reason for music while exercising. Are you sure it's you knees and not the
cold weather?

Alright! That's enough! Doug, after all these years, you say MINNESOTA??????? Iowa, my boy. IOWA.
And, re: foot and biking. Well, after dozens of doctors, I am assured that I have rocks in my head.
The tests all led to nowhere. It is simply spasms coming from "nowhere" (I am told that happens),
and years of abuse--running too quickly after injury, etc. So, I am staying off it completely, for a
very long time. I will grow old, and have not the gumption to get back into shape. This is all
better than the alternative, however. I will write, sometime, again, just to say 'hey' from my
rocking chair. Peace and love to all, Mary

Answers destroy the mystery, enlighten the ignorant and place responsibility. It's easier, more fun,
to be mysterious, ignorant and irresponsible. Just a thought

Then colour me gay, girlfriend, 'cause I think they're the cutest little tappty-tap-tappers that
I've seen in years. Soon as I find a retailer near me I'll be off to purchase a pair or two.

God, I will look SO HOT!

Oh c'mon Donny. Surely you've realised by now that there's more to 'Tom' than meets the eye? He's a
troll, and a mighty interesting troll at that.

this can be bad, sometimes good.

you're too afraid to tell them.

catch. She eventually gave in - I think she felt sorry for me - and succumbed to my charms one
evening in May.

I can say with total honesty that the happiest single moment in my life was the following morning as
I cycled along the farm track to the local shop to buy bacon and eggs for breakfast. I really,
really, thought my heart would burst, I was just so *completely* happy. The nice thing is, I only
have to close my eyes and I can remember almost exactly how it felt.

Good things - like bad things - stay with you forever.

That doesn't stop me from spending most of my time off topic. Thing is, you're *amongst* runners so
we tend to look at everything from roughly the same perspective. And I, for one, would be interested
in hearing of your tri-exploits.

That's where I thought the biking was coming into play. Can't you bike OK?

Changing one's nick is a sure sign that a poster has "jumped the shark."

He's old.

She's old and wise.

He's young.

He's waiting to hear about your bi experiences first.

Boys like toys. I don't get it either. <snipped a few boring questions>

Uncle Sugar.

Just say no to Microsoft.

No, you should have rice and beans.

I can't believe you're asking the question.

> Do I *really* have to go a run in this windy wind? Will I be safe?

No, and no.

> Why are questions more fun than answers?

Wouldn't *you* like to know?

Nope, it's because I put beach sand in his KY jelly.

She never says nice things to anyone.

He has a chip on his shoulder from growing up and constantly being teased about his femninity. If
you were called "Lil' Girlie" and "Lil Fem" along with the regular homophobic words, you'd be bitter
too. It is kinda cute the way the angry dwarf has pumped up his lil 130lb body to try to look like
he could defend himself, but alas, a whiney slap is still the best he can muster.

Because Donovan and Doug made him swear secrecry about theit threesomes.

In Donovans case he can avoid the taunts of the villagers who normally chase him with torches and
hangmens nooses.

His hullucinations are partly weed and partly psychose based, but the real reason it hasn't been
published is because he's a moron, and he'd be laughed off the market.

It looks just like that in real life too.

If you weigh about 60lbs like Donovan, stay in on your dainty treadmill so you won't blow (that word

Thanks. Other great insights for today:

Moby **** is a whale The Mona Lisa is a portrait of a lady Persistence of Memory is a
surrealist painting

...and then you actually did close your eyes. And it felt exactly like slamming into a fence post!

I hear herpes is like that. Did the girl have herpes, by any chance?
