Oh nevermind.

'nuff said. Thanks for verifying my claim. Drunk serial posters are not serious students of our sport.
if Skuj isn't a student of the sport no one is
that's hard to believe after his recent 24 hour drinking & posting binge
I can personally verify that Skuj is a very astute follower, and fan of our sport. I have known him for over 25 years, and although we have had our disagreements from time to time, his passion for distance running is matched by few, and he is one of the good guys...
...except when he drinks.
Maybe not the best ever, but 6 guys within 10 seconds of each other?

Hahahaha.....wtf is it with all this "Skuj is a drunk" talk at letsrun lately. It's very amusing.
turku, who are you? Clues.
Dammit, Lel out of London is a drag. The wether forecast improved a lot though.
Cheers,
Drunk Skuj.
3hrs12min to go.
Hello RD. Did you watch Boston? (Thanks for manipulating the quote, once again.)

Is this the new RD tactic? You failed to nail me as a bad runner, bad coach, bad father...NOW I am merely a drunk?
Letsrun never fails to fascinate me, on a psycho-social level.

Et tu, turku? RD is good!
Hey Skuj !
Turku (# 2) is a fraud and an a-hole. I love you man...
...except when you drink.

That wasn't me Skuj. It was the a-hole again...
Didn't read the rest of the thread but
2007 New York WOMENS Marathon takes the biscuit for me...
The duel between Radcliffe and Wami seemed to go on for about 6 miles... each one inching ahead of the other before being caught again.... AWESOME
Over and out to LetsRun for me. It's a shame because there are many bright and insightful posts here, but 1 too many a-holes for me. Skuj, you know that RB is your friend - we'll talk on some of the more civilized chatlines. My last post, so if another comes in from Turku/Lahti, it's not from me.
