I've posted as reupublican entertainer and treadmill powered telly for some time now. You haven't seen many of my posts, as they're not racist nor politically polarizing, but rest assured, after a few more drinks, I'll have more handles to follow. Also, they keep deleting my relevant posts for some reasion. My point is that many of my posts have been deleted because I can probably run faster than most LR posters in my age-graded class. So 4:00 mile-you, buddy. Signed, Mr. 5.58.
Nikeman, get over Flagpole already. Seriously, you're a broken record, what a bore! How can you be so full of anger all the time? Take a chill pill, brother.
Yeah, I said that to imitate Flagpole and annoy you :)
I have been chiming in here and there for the last 8 years under few different names.
This is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever read on letsrun...

After spending time in actual bars with letsrunners, I'd say it would go something like this... Malmo would be sitting at the bar with a bunch of guys hovering around. There is a table of 3 women with no man within a 10-foot radius. stuckwithmatch.com stands in a dark corner, holding his Zima and stares at the women all night with a glazed look in his eyes. The bartender would not be a letsrunner, especially not the brojos. It's their party, after all. No, the bartender would be some poor schmuck who has never heard of letsrun and is overwhelmed by the amount of alcohol skinny runners can drink. As for the brojos, rojo would be pretty drunk and might be buying everyone drinks while wejo shakes his head and continues to update the letsrun homepage. Nikeman and I would probably start at the pool table until we're drunk enough to start some karaoke. Since this is a letsrun party, that would probably have to entail nikeman slapping the bass and giving his best Geddy Lee impression. And by best, I mean worst. Flagpole would then give some unsolicited advice and nikeman would challenge him to a race, fight, duel and pie-eating contest. However, it's now past Flagpole's curfew, so he heads home. With Flagpole gone, everyone starts to cut loose without the fear of being judged. Letsrunners hit the dance floor, which can best be described as Night at the Roxbury meets Carlton from Fresh Prince. By the next morning, no one got laid, Mr. Obvious asks for pics and we're all staring down the barrel of a hung-over long run.

Agreed. Also txrunnergirl is really fat, which explains Malmo's discontent.
so...the answer is that at the letsrun bar there would be people sniffling in the corners with hurt feelings.
and maybe a small bar fight.
Come on people- it's Christmas and the dewpoint is around nothing - cheer up.
This is letsrun children at it's finest. Calling women turds & fat. Classless people who get off by downgrading women.
Due to this thread, and this thread only... I now like malmo again.

This is part of the fun..being creative and spontaneous. Have them guessing...
Yeah, that's about the long and the short of it, but sometimes I think that if I stuck to one name then maybe people would be like, "Oh, that consider this, what a wild and crazy guy!" Oh well, I'll probably continue posting under multiple names. Merry Christmas, everybody!

The creepy flagpole stalking, for starters.
Stalking? No, it's kind of a running joke that nikeman and Flagpole don't get along and that was the original topic of conversation between nikeman and me. Well, I think it's a joke to me anyway because I think it's ridiculous. You might think nikeman is a jerk if you like Flagpole, but I'm not nikeman. While Flagpole and I have disagreed on some topics, I think we still respect each other. At least I respect him. I respect anyone who is a "regular poster" and does not hide behind anonymity.

Whilst I am rather small in stature, my sinewy, well-defined muscles would preclude any actual physical confrontations in said bar. Nonetheless, wifey has gone to bed, and I'm gonna make an ass outta myself. So, bring on the training/investing arguments!! B!TCHE$$$! Sell Apple nNOW!
I love not being respected.
I'm not at the bar with these guys, nor am I training with them. When they are at the bar, I'm sitting home reading a book about written by Seb Coe and I'm on the chapter about how he had a fierce rivalry with Steve Ovett. I'm gleaning training tips, ideas, etc., from the book.
The next day, I release my training plan on LRC and mostly everyone (hungover) shoots it down because it is 80 mpw below the requisite 100 mpw for any training plan to be deemed adequate.
I defend my post saying that I read Seb's bio and that while he was at Loughborough he only put in 30 mpw and trained with the sprinters, including circuit training, and others respond that Peter Coe lied about Seb's times even though Peter Coe did not coach Seb while he was ta Loughborough.
A young runner reads the rebuttals to my posts, believes malmo and the others because they are/were Olympians and I was not, and that runner who races 6:15 in the mile begins on his 100 mpw training program and ends up injured most of the time for the remaining years of his HS, but is able to pop out a 5:15 his senior year and makes varsity for the conference meet for the first time. This same young runner, had he seen my plan being supported would have gotten his time down to 4:10 in high school and added mileage between his senior yr of HS and his freshman year on scholarship at a D1 school, but since my plan was not supported, US distance running goes down in a flame of injuries and/or slow runners running high mileage before ever developing their basic speed.
I sigh, and think I should've gone to the bar with the others to drink away my sorrows, wallowing in my feelings of helplessness and frustration.

I post daily under different handles. The Brojos like my stuff and usually don't delete.
Translation: I am a scared little right wing pansy boy who doesn't even think that ONE anonymous name is enough to hide behind, so I have to change it to many.
And shock of shocks that the brojos don't delete you anti-Obama posts, since their Dad was George Dubya's college roommate. Don't convince yourself that your posts have passed the litmus test of "taste", since there isn't one here (though there has often been an ideological test for sure)
This Letsrun bar sounds like it has a real family kind of feel to it. Maybe I should check that out. As soon as I become a regular that is.
Oh and also "jesse was a friend" appears to be another one of the regulars.
I am the man of 1000 handles
I'm the drunk guy who's going to dance with your girlfriend. Sorry, man.
Happy Festivus. I've got a lot of grievances with you people!!!

30mpw is not 80mpw below 100mpw.
