I saw Cole Hocker at a grocery store in Indiana yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.i remember my first joint too

Is it true that he's voting for Harris/Walz in November? Asking for a friend (who may be going home DEVASTATED).

There he was across the hallway, a man whose name that brought chills down his spine. Jakob looked down, hoping to avoid direct eye contact. "C-Cole," Jakob stuttered. "What up, virgin" Hocker boomed. Jakob braced himself but it was too late. Hocker's 5000 tonne shoulder slammed into his, the movement causing air waves across the room. Jakob flew back and the concrete wall chipped around him. His shoulder was definitely broken. "Later, nerd." Hocker chuckled.

Though to be fair, that was a bit unhinged. But I did laugh.
I can't take credit, here's the original animated

I saw Jonathan Gault at the Olympic Trials in Eugene. I was too nervous to say hello, but that was pretty thrilling.

Why I never bother to post on this site - the idiocy of 90% who can put up nothing but negative, false, sarcastic comments. If you want reasonable track and field discussion I would highly recommend Track and Field new site. Good bye and good riddance.

Did he give you an invitation to the evenings freak-offs?

Was he wearing the gold medal?
Did he insist on being introduced as america's only REAL living gold medalist in the 1500 meters?
Did he have autographed posters of him "Shush!"-ing Centro at the trials to hand out?

Did you drop the soap in the showers for him

I haven't been around many elite runners but what struck me the few times I saw them up close was how petite they are. Just small adult males, which I think makes sense when you're talking guys who weigh 120-150 lbs. Was that the case with Hocker?

I've seen this, too. Way way back in the day we all thought John Walker was just a beast of a man. But then I met him and he was quite small and thin, only looked big next to the frail guys he was racing.

Bernard Lagat took five consecutive weeks in October off from running every year.

Diddy always personally hand selected every individual invited to the late night freak sessions.
But there is some slight possibility (the reader must admit, at least some slight possibility) that Gault was one of Diddy's many goons, or more accurately, one of his "messengers" as they called them.
