Formerly college runner and big fan of the sport here, and I think the last thing track meets need is to fill more time. Some aren’t jus the brutally long.

I think a well-placed swear word can add humor or useful emphasis, but I agree that it was pretty pointless here, and the headline just sort of sucks in general.

I’ve been on both ends of some pretty lopsided games (although nothing like 82-0), and I really don’t think batting from the opposite side of the plate or not swinging is a solution here. If we’re concerned about the feelings of the other team (and i’m not saying we shouldn’t be, they’re kids, afterall), how is the…

I sort of agree with you to an extent, although you contradicted yourself a bit when you noted that the herd running really IS quite advantageous in conditions like yesterday. Plus, when half the elite field drops, that opens up a lot more spots for sub-elites to sneak into the top 10, so in typical conditions the…

Basically that she was racing with a large group of (primarily) men running a similar pace, which could be an advantage. The women’s elite field is small and tends to get strung out, leading to a much higher likelihood of running alone, rather than have other people to pace/draft off of and push yourself against.…

God I hate to say it, but I think Florida is ahead of the curve on this one, effectively moving to permanent daylight savings time, as we all should.

The dude seems like a dick, but you actually can classify a grade 2 strain as a partial tear.

Is there some sort of previous coverage of this or something? Wtf is this talking about? I mean, I get it, a cup, but...would it kill you to at least link in some additional info? And who the fuck is Mike Waters?

“Penchant” means the opposite of what you think it means.

Immersion blenders are awesome for smoothies. You just blend it right in the big ol plastic cup thing and drink it. I hate making a smoothie in a big blender and then having to clean that whole big thing. Not to mention always having a glob of it run down the outside of the pitcher and onto the counter after you pour…

I just recently got into his stuff and watched a bunch of videos on YouTube. When I saw the trailer for that show, I first thought it was another skit. I cannot believe someone so funny in such a particular way would make something so derivative and cringeworthy. So, so bad.

The first reaction might be to think of Oregon as populated just by crunchy hippies, but there is a surprisingly high (it was to me at least) concentration of white supremacist/anti-Muslim hate group activity in the state, relative to most others. Even Florida!

I’m a UVA grad, but I saw The Strokes play at UMBC with Kings of Leon opening (before they “sold out”), and it was probably better than anything I ever saw “on grounds,” so whatever, I’m fine with it.

I think it’s funny that these fruits and vegetables have traveled thousands of miles, having been touched by many people and making contact with many different surfaces, and people think putting them in a plastic bag to move them into their grocery cart is some sort of hygienic act. If you don’t want 15 limes rolling…

I might have skipped right over it, but I didn’t actually see the “why” from the headline. Although I guess it could be, “Because I just don’t.”

Your comment reminded me of this:

“...in the middle of planning his wedding.”

I almost just spit cereal all over my computer. Yes, I’m an adult who eats cereal at night.

Splice?

It reminds me of that Louis CK bit where he’s talking to a doctor who was caring for his grandmother, and the doctor says, “She has a bunch of tumors in her head.”
