I should've had a....

For no reason other than the fact that I'm sick of looking at that dude's dong in a yellow banana hammock, I decided to post a picture of new, healthy Rob after a morning run.


Have a happy Good Friday and try not to accidentally kill any messiahs today.

  2. Funny, it was the Bud Light unitard that really offended me in that picture.

  3. i'm with rootsy. didn't notice yellowdong until marls pointed it out.

  4. what's happening, hot stuff

  5. I noticed it, but when a guy that's got balls enough to wear a get up like that, what the hell can you say.

    Plus it reminds me of being a pledge in the W&M IM Wrestling Tournament. Knapp got us singlets. I won my first match by forfeit, but first I had to stand on the mat for a minute or two while the fratre heckled about the bulge in my singlet.

    ReplyDelete
  6. As the heaviest pledge in my class (at a whopping 192 lbs), I was forced to be in the heavyweight division. I did not win. Instead of a unitary, I wore spandex pants and Converse low tops. Strong look.

    For the record, I would pay a lot of money to be at/under 10 stones these days.

    In other news, I am about to write a $2G check for a new garage door/motor. Home ownership is awesome!

  7. You don't have to pay a lot of money to get to that weight, TR. You can just exercise! It's free!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I, too, wrestled heavyweight as a pledge. Bad things ensued.

    And Mark, exercise may be free, but the massive amounts of health care related to resultant trauma events are not.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I wrestled heavyweight, and won my first match (I have no idea how). I was then quickly pummeled in the second match by some guy that actually knew how to wrestle. Not good times.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I think I wrestled 171 - pinned 2 guys (probably pledges from other frats) by tackling them and flipping them over. Then I was supposed to face Dewey in the next round, which would've caused me unimaginable amounts of pain. Somehow I managed to talk the "authorities" (probably TJ & Ichiro) into letting me forfeit so I could go back to some kind of social event and try to get a date for an upcoming date party. Which I didn't do.

    All in all, a fantastic evening.

  12. 10 stone is 140 lbs. I dare say, none of the male readership of this fair blog are under that unless Rootsy has picked up a mean smack habit since college.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Clarence, the cost of your healthcare down the road due to a lack of exercise for most of your adult life will be much greater. I assure you.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Rob, is that true?

    Hold me closer tiny dancer....

    ReplyDelete
  15. I hear you Mark, but 60-hr work weeks, 80-minute one way commutes, work travel and two young uns don't leave a lot of time for Pilates. They mostly leave time for train beers and couch scotches.

    When I move to TX in 2 yrs and live in a sweet house that costs a ton less than my current 0.13 acre place, you all will know why.

    ReplyDelete
  16. And I plan to buy my wife a Texas-style chassy to fit in. I shod probably get her used to the idea of "healthy Fs" at some point.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Can I be there for that conversation? I'll bring beers and chips.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hey, Marls, how about that Johan Santana news? I have officially canceled the Extra Innings package. The 2013 Mets season has been over for a while.

    ReplyDelete
  19. TR- When you move to Texas I hope it's Austin or Dallas. There's really nowhere else worth living in Texas. Actually, I hope it's Austin because Austin is awesome and I don't know anyone who lives there anymore so I need a place to crash.

    ReplyDelete
  20. GTB Skype-based workouts with Sparky 6 AM, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I'd watch the highlights.

    ReplyDelete
  21. If you move to Houston, you can watch the Astros, whose payroll totals $25 million this year. Or you can stay in NYC and watch ARod play (or sit) for $29 million.

    ReplyDelete
  22. So there's going to be constant interleague play now? What a world.

    ReplyDelete
  23. 135 lbs, marls. lean, mean, fighting machine.

    ReplyDelete
  24. move to fla and we'll get that fat ass into shape in no time.
    austin better than dallas yes...houston pretty decent too...dallas and H-town are in the same wheelhouse. better golf in houston, especially if your in the energy/oil sector heh guy?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Austin and San Antonio only worthwhile cities in TX.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I always get El Paso in my top 3 when I do try that FindYourSpot survey. Something to think about...

    ReplyDelete
  27. t.r. - get yourself some gauze pads and ball bearings for that garage door opener.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Just did the Find Your Spot survey.

    1. Orlando, FL
    2. Tampa, FL
    3. West Palm Beach, FL

    ReplyDelete
  29. It's worth mentioning that it's really cold in my office now, so that may have skewed what I was looking for.

    ReplyDelete
  30. San Antonio...no thanks.

    Jerry- I think Danimal would like to get in on these GTB Skype workouts. Maybe he can take Tuesdays and Thursdays and we'll alternate Fridays.

    ReplyDelete
  31. And Clarence's find your spot survey results are awful. South Tampa/Hyde Park is the only redeemable part of Tampa. Orlando is awful and West Palm is just an ultra rich Del Boca Vista. Sorry about your luck, Clarence.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I got Norfolk in my top 5, but overall Find Your Spot is reasonably sure that I'm a redneck.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I also think they have a deal with the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce - The Queen City comes up for a lot of people.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm cool with the plan as long as I get to see Teejay and Clarence working out.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Alas, Austin would not work. Would be big D or Houston. Was bullish on D and bearish on H, but have turned quite a bit. D is a town of "millionaires" making $40K a year. Lots of wannabes. Houston is very much a transplant town and has a decent amount of non-TX expats. Houston is better for investment banking, Dallas is better for asset management. Both are great for staring at boob jobs everywhere and dealing backbreaking summer heat.

    The idea of a 15-20 minute commute, an hour time difference for stock market hours and no state income taxes (vs 7% in NJ!) makes for an enormous lifestyle improvement.

    ReplyDelete
  36. The rest of my Find Your Spot results:

    Augusta, GA
    Charleston, SC
    Houston, TX
    Jacksonville, FL
    Austin, TX
    Brownsville, TX
    McAllen, TX
    San Antonio, TX
    Chesapeake-Virginia Beach, VA
    Oklahoma City, OK
    Memphis, TN
    Corpus Christi, TX
    Dallas, TX

    Norfolk, VA
    Dothan, AL
    Clearwater, FL
    Atlanta, GA
    El Paso, TX
    Galveston, TX
    Bradenton, FL

    Bleh. I either already live there or it's pretty gross. Charleston and Austin excepted.

  37. looks like key west and danimal go hand in hand.

    ReplyDelete
  38. don't forget the full-size suburban/yukon...either or, or both.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Survey says!

    Albuquerque NM
    Corvallis OR

    Apparently I checked a granola box?

  40. Hi Gheorghies!

    I'll be in the NoVa area this weekend. I know it's last minute but anyone around/available for drinks or dinner Saturday night? We'll be in the Oakton area.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Rob and Dewey Oxenberger....two peas in a pod.

    I say we all move to New Orleans and open Gheorghe: The Bar

    ReplyDelete
  42. I second Marls' idea. And Clearwater's not bad.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I second Mark's second. Let's go out in a blaze of glory. And hand grenades.

    ReplyDelete
  44. i was told to wrestle 145 for the intramural tourney -- which was a lot of weight for me to cut. i had to take off my underwear to make weight -- really ugly -- but the weigh-in was the day before. hightower and elliott also cut a bunch of weight, and we immediately went to pizza hut and put it all back on -- i was over 160 pounds by the first match, and pinned the first two guys (who were actually 145 pounds) by grabbing them and using leverage. i made it to the finals and had to wrestle a guy nick-named "the box," because he was shaped like a box. he knew how to wrestle and i could not use my insane weight advantage to pin him. good times, aside from all the spitting to cut weight.

  48. Is long island a city? Nobody got Winchester?

    ReplyDelete
  49. new brunswick.

    more wrestling memories: senior year i decided to train with mazzoni and wrestle for the house in the name of all points. i cut weight to 168. unfortunately, in between training and the tournament was our trip to daytona -- no girls to mention -- but a LOT of chicken fried steak. came back from the trip at 185. did not wrestle for the house.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Long Island City is a neighborhood in Queens. Long Island is an island comprising several counties and two boroughs. Neither are cities.

  51. Does anyone else think Lee Westwood looks a little Downzy?

    ReplyDelete
  52. At the start of that Daytona trip, Dave wrote "EAT ME" in sunscreen on his chest in the name of fratitude. "Only "EAT" was legible, and that's what we did all week. Subliminal. I recall eating a huge Mexican meal one night, then going to McDonald's after the bars with Dave, then halfway back to the hotel we turned around and going back to McDonald's for another round.

  53. i remember that, as well as the sand sculpture of morgan that we made, and the other sand sculpture of an octopus groping a naked woman with seaweed, that we also made, and the ill-fated MTV idea of pairing Salt'n'Pepa and Primus together . . .

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  57. Mr. KQ and Shlara both got Portland, eh? Just remember...puff puff pass

    ReplyDelete
  58. Mayhugh, I got almost the exact same top 5. I guess that means we're gay. Or equally straight.

  59. Everyone's gettin' Norfolk!! Come on down!!

  60. And seaweed salad pubic hair on a girl is my idea of Utopia

    ReplyDelete
  61. The reverse on those tests is also interesting. Do the survey but enter the opposite for your answers.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Was your opposite #1 "inside a condom"?

  63. my opposite #1 was inside a cock ring.

  66. I think you should seriously consider #5, Shlara.

    ReplyDelete
  67. So...nobody else is rooting for the Gators tonight, right? Except for maybe Jerry?

    ReplyDelete
  68. I am rooting for FL. Will help in my office pool.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Me too on gators. For financial reasons. Won't cry if they lose.

    ReplyDelete
  70. So you're not really rooting for them, Dan. Get out of here with that half stepping bullshit.

    And yes, I'm starting to get a little anxious for game time. Why do you ask?

    ReplyDelete
  71. I also feel like Michigan State -Duke is going to be really, really good. Which is too bad since it will be on tv2.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Ok...I am rooting for them. Officially. Still won't cry though.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I'm too old (re: drunk) for games to tip off at 10pm.

  76. One of our company partners' kid (5 yrs old) is winning our pool. All the kid does is watch ESPN and is like an instamatic stat-kid. He has Syracuse going all the way.

    And in one pool I have Florida going all the way. Mark, make room on the bandwagon for me.

    ReplyDelete
  77. That was fucking unreal. Just a 30 foot step back to send the game into OT.

    ReplyDelete
  78. yeah, that's a top 10 all-time sick shot.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Just wrote an $800 check for a new garage door. Out of scotch. My bracket blew up w/ Indiana losing. And my plantar fasciitis has flared up.

    But my 5 y/o learned to ride his two-wheeler today. And we got it on video. Life is good.

  84. I'm not in love with the 10:38 tip time for Florida. Especially since my wife is out of town for the night and I'm waking up with the kid. Michigan-Kansas was worth it though.

    Well, worth it if Florida wins.

    ReplyDelete
  85. for the record, i'm rooting for the gators. i'd like them to win it all. they were my favorite team to watch this year.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Stop piggybacking off my astute insights, Mark.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Def rooting for OMFGCLMFAO. And slugging Decoy Cab. And Stone IPA. In no particular order.

    ReplyDelete
  88. also rooting for the gators in hopes that mark sends me some gear that he outgrows.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Am I going to hit a growth spurt? Because that would be awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Fantastic defense by Florida is the past 2 minutes. Yeguette and Prather are everywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  91. thanks to duke and florida for making it okay for me and tr to turn in at a moderately reasonable hour. or as clarence calls it, warmups.

  92. Was in bed early. Waking up to a 12 point victory instead of say...13 makes me sore.

    ReplyDelete
  93. 27 yrs in the making, but we're about to get the Duke-Louisville rematch we've all been looking for. That Duke team was pretty stacked - Amaker, Dawkins, Alarie and a name I did not know was on the team that early in the 80's, Danny Ferry.

    ReplyDelete
  94. "Danny Ainge needs to shut the f--- up and manage his own team," Riley said in a statement released through a Heat spokesman. "He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing and I know that because I coached against him."

    Jeez.

  97. TR--you didn't know that Danny Ferry was a Dookie in the 80s??? He's the original Dookie. And I loved him.

    I'm heading to the Syracuse/Marquette game today. I don't think Gary Williams will be sitting behind us today--he's probably on the golf course.

    And I guess I'm cheering for Marquette because I cannot tolerate those Orange fans, or Boeheim.

    ReplyDelete
  98. too bad she's the only one on her team. they're physically overmatched.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I felt bad for Dookie when he turned into Bubbles.

    ReplyDelete
  100. You should also cheer for Marquette because Buzz Williams is awesome and Vander Blue is named Vander Blue.

    ReplyDelete
  101. and junior cadougan is named junior cadougan. and nobody associated with marquette is named jim boeheim.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I didn't realize that Ferry went back that far. I thought he and his prematurely balding hair played a couple years later.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Shlara -I think TR was unaware that Ferry was at Duke that early. He just did not realize that Ferry was that super old.

    I wonder if Gary Williams sweats through his golf shirts too?
