I'm pissed at Brandon Todd.
He's 5'5". So am I.
He decided several years ago that he wanted to dunk a basketball. I decided long ago that I was never going to dunk a basketball.
He learned powerlifting techniques from Russians, gained 85 pounds of mostly muscle, and dunked a basketball. I did not.
Now I've got to figure out what it is I care enough about to work that hard to accomplish.

Watched some President's Cuo highlights whilst on the treadmill. So DL3 is a squirrel tamer? And Tiger & Matt Kuchar love the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? I did not know that. You've failed us, Geoff.
tiger is actually alfonso ribeiro.
"squirrel tamer" is code for what?
rob - thanks for the inspiration today. you complete me. where's your ragnar this wkd?
and my wife was on the ragnar last week but all clear now!
DL3 found a baby squirrel by #2 green. He picked it up, and carried it around for the rest of the day. It was still in his pocket during post round interviews. Lindsay Vonn was carrying it for a while...very odd.
And yes, Kuch even went so far as to declare himself the Fresh Prince and Tiger as Carlton.
Here's DL3 giving the squirrel to Lindsay Vonn.

i watched the video while thinking of a few people from here making their way to kona for next week's IRONMAN world champs...and i thought, while watching the video, as a fire grew in me belly, that if i had that guy's level of commitment, that determination, passion, that "I CAN" attitude...If I had that and put it to use every single fucking day, there is still no way on planet earth that i'd ever get to kona other than as a spectator.
tiger loves strange squirrel
"Giving the squirrel" sounds smutty. Or perhaps it's remarkably chaste, like Squirrel.
I love how Tiger never looks at Vonn, he barely even acknowledges that she's there even when she puts a potentially flea-infested rabid wild animal on his back.
So, this is really well done:

rob, i've asked you a question dammit!
i don't want to dress like a holiday!
for more breaking news on this topic, head to sentence of dave.
It's great that everyone happily acknowledges that Tiger is Carlton in that duo. If he's smart he'll break out the Cartlon dance as a celebration if the US team wins. America will love him all over again.
Also, I'm dragging a little this morning as result of multiple drunken (possibly cocaine addled) Tyler/Charlie Murphy text messages & calls between 1-2:30 am last night from my former roommate Roberto (TJ loves him). Safe to say he's excited about Baton Rouge next weekend.

acknowledged, dave.
danimal, ragnar dc. starts in cumberland, md. ends at national harbor.
Go see my witty comment at Sentence of Dave!
Again, I encourage you to go see my witty comment at Sentence of Dave!
very good z. i have to say i too was thinking "flair" the whole way. couldn't remember name of the eatery. nice job.
thanks rob. nice response time. hopefully you aren't in a customer service role.
am groggy here too today, and a little hungover i don't mind sayin. hence the unusually cranky yet undeniably extra funny comments. i'm here all day folks.
Creighton is now in the Big East???
Get used to it Teej
Damnit - I don't check in for a few days and I miss a real post with real words and paragraphs and stuff?
thanks for the witty comments over at sentence of dave. it was a rough day at work for me yesterday, i hope you guys never have to "dress like a holiday."
What did you dress as?
Anyone read A-Rod's complaint on Deadspin yet? It's pretty over-the-top. Tacopina's bombast shines through, it's like a caricature of a NY lawyer wrote it. Which I guess is true. And it name-checks BoKQ.
I just read through it now. The damages he is suffering by being cut from the film Harry & Me must be huge.
I just learned Andrew McCutcheon was from Lakeland. For a shitty little town it's produced an absurd number of pro athletes.
Cardinals not looking too good today.
It's so scattered. They rip MLB for pissing on A-Rod's image, ok. But then they go after Bill Madden who works for the Daily News. If anyone should be allowed to piss on A-Rod's image it should be the press. They also rely on Jose Canseco's book "Juiced" to show that Selig allowed steroids to run rampant in MLB, but they ignore the fact that Canseco's book "Vindicated" named A-Rod as a steroid user. Very odd.
Leap Day William
There are so many gems in there that I may need to actually craft a post about it.
ragnar update: it's really fucking hot.
Like repeatedly spelling Rodriguez with a Q? Or Tacopina's decision to interject himself as a character in the statement of facts?
So FIGJAM and Keegan just shot 6 under on the frot nine in alternate shot. That's insane.
Didn't they spell Rodriquez with a Q in Boogie Nights?
Did anyone else look at the new W&M alum magazine yet? There's a piece on the new fraternity houses, "they are, to those that knew them or avoided the, everything the old Units were not: clean, sleek and spacious. Perhaps, more than anything else, the thing that separates the new houses from the old is the fact that they are actually aesthetically pleasing."
And, we now have a hip-hop collection in Swem: Virginia's contributions to hop hop from the 1980s to the present.
How many people live in each of the new fraternities?
Yes, I read it. The hiphop collection seems out of context, Williamsburg is the least hiphop place I've ever been. I'm not sure how I feel about clean frat houses. I didn't recognize about half of the frats listed.
Between 16 and 19.
i wanna see miley & sinead wraastle.
ragnar update: taking a shit in a port o john in hancock, md.
Leaving your John Hancock?
Or leaving your port-a-John in Hancock where you gave your declaration of incontinence?
I don't know. Can't make that joke work. Rob's comment was just all wrong and it ruined it.
Is there a way to twist it around so that rob has John's cock in hand?
A John in any port is handy? I give up too.
So there a Clipse albums in the library at W&M? I approve.
Clarence in DC Tuesday night. Any takers? Cowboy Cafe? Dubliner? Bueller?
first leg done. 7.3m down. only 13.5 more to go.
can i get your john hancock while i'm taking my constitutional?
and greg, if you'd read the goddam sentence, i haven't dressed like a holiday yet, and i'm so pissed off at the whole concept that i may not dress like a holiday at all, just out of principle (though the women at work would probably dismember me if didn't participate, which is ridiculous, because i would never force anyone to "dress like a holiday")
They would never dismember Past Dave.
Those Spartan/Mudder/Ragnar events are insane. My friend did two: he got a skin infection from the mud the first time and he tore a tendon in his toe/foot the second time. zsister-in-law just did a Spartan and got some sort of worm-related skin infection. So don't rub rob after his Ragnar.
Clarence, we've already discussed this...
no mud in the ragnar, z. just running. and no sleeping.
Peanut butter in your drawers?
lots of gold bond
The doctor who gave Valium to Henry Hill is State Senator Clay Davis!
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!
Sup, Gheorghies...
hello, gheorghies. won't be running again until 4:00 am or so. might be hallucinating at that point.
9.6 miles at 4:20 am. someone shoot me.
Four-twenty!
yeah, that's right
Mark, once you put your picks in the draft post, hit publish. I won't be near a computer for a couple hours.
