A couple of years ago, I stopped right in the chute for a speedy hurl (and learned that water after 40k is not a good idea for me). There is a pic of the neon yellow (mmm lemon!) roctane/water stream extending from my mouth fully to the ground. I always wonder how many people enjoyed that background addition to their…

Unless you’re using the royal ‘we’, millions of people are indeed ‘raised that way’ (this cannot be a for real statement, can it?). But really, it was a teeny joke about not stressing about what other people choose to wear, too teeny to recognize perhaps?

People walk around barefoot or with a piece of flat leather tied to their ankles, many for their whole lives. And they survive. When you stress about this, the Nike-led corporate support shoe conspiracy laughs all the way to the bank. Don’t cringe, hon, you’ll get wrinkles and-as the beauty industry knows- thats the…

Oh FFS. The original article stated women can endure longer workouts. You misinterpreted this to mean higher performance and got all snarky about it. A 4hr marathoner is not superior by any performance metric to an elite but they are enduring longer, which was the only assertion in the article. Winning an IM doesn’t…

Yes genius, men perform 10% FASTER, as we both pointed out, FASTER meaning that women in endurance sports are ENDURING 10% LONGER which is exactly the point made in the article. You said “so much for enduring longer” then posted a list of female athletes doing the very thing that you snarked on. Do carry on making the…

Elite women—as you pointed out— take about 30mins longer in IM, 15mins in a marathon, 10mins in half or an Oly tri over the same distance than elite men. Seems to me this is the textbook definition of ‘enduring longer’. I feel sorry for your sexytime partners given your poor comprehension of endurance vs.…

I’d bet my year’s wages-wages I make in a trauma ER- that the workplace mortality/morbidity rate of roofers (construction workers in general) is higher—by at least a factor of ten*—than police officers. No parades for them though.

We are about to move across the country, and its culling time! To reduce my book stash, I used strict criteria. I must have loved it, and it must be: written by someone i know, given to me by someone precious, inscribed by the author (or precious person who gave it to me), irreplaceable/difficult to replace, or a book…

Sorry Camille, of course ‘semi-well known for decades’ is a MUCH more rigorous standard of than say....journal ranking and you are very, very important.

Chronic uncontrollable verbal diarrhea, utter failure in chosen career (academia/journalism) combined with insatiable, pathological need for attention, intellectual dishonesty, compulsive lying, textbook narcissistic personality disorder and an ethical compass that would make Machiavelli blush? Ermahgerd, I think…

Channing Tatum said it best:

If i had the knowhow, I’d be forwarding that Channing Tatum AHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHA email to every single numbnuts whose not throwing up rainbow flags on EVERYTHING today.

This explains why you incorrectly identified choc-orange as foul instead of DIVINE. Yer tastebuds are broken, get well soon ;-)

Well, it sounds as though the victim had overall a fairly good life -she definitely raised children who passed on strong convictions, compassion, and dedication in her name-with one horrible exception, while the killer seems to have had a life of abuse, misery, regret and pain so yeah, pretty tragic for both of them…

She has ALL the magic, to look impossibly gorgeous in what is objectively a mint green tafetta monstrosity (BF just said “it looks like a sewing mistake my granny made when i was a kid”, followed immediately by “she is reaaaalllllly beautiful”). MAGIC!

So a change from how he spends his Saturdays: alternating between staring constipatedly at a camera like he’s never seen one before and flubbing every line held up in front of his face, AMIRIGHT?

Pete is a punchable little shit much of the time, but unlike Don or Roger, he has developed and changed as a character. Also, “Not great Bob!” may be my favorite non-Sally/Peggy/Joan line of the whole series.

ha! i’m such an infrequent commenter that i just cut and pasted this on a bunch of comments cuz i don’t really know how it works. But that BAMF lady and the nice couple who wished her well is a lovely story, especially on such a cold, miserable rainy day to run and to spectate. sadface.

Its too bad it went downt he rabbit hole because the actual story is kinda delightful all around:
