Need some good comebacks to "Run, Forrest, Run!"

thats a bit of an overreaction for someone yelling "run forrest run" don't you think? plus, youll probably get your ass kicked.

Yes, I agree. I have never once heard that while running.

"Is That You, Lt. Dan?" made me laugh out loud.

The best way to frustrate punk teenagers who yell at you really is to pretend you didn't hear it and keep going.

If grown ups (anyone over 30) yells something at me, I do a decent Rodney Dangerfield impression, "Boy, I tell ya, rough crowd! ROUGH CROWD!"

That usually makes them laugh because it's a funny comeback, and everyone goes away happy. Generally grown ups aren't trying to be malicious, they're usually just neighbors in lawn chairs in someone's driveway and they've had a few brews and suddenly think they're funny.

I'm 46 and I haven't flipped anyone off since I was 15 when I accidentally flipped off one of my teachers as a joke. I started apologizing like crazy and my teacher laughed. Thankfully. That was the end of my flipping-off days.

Seriously now, it should only be juvenile boys yelling Run Forrest Run and it should only be juvenile boys yelling F.U. Flipping someone the bird . . . how lame, especially coming from an "adult." Time to grow up.

i didn't see the "is that you lt. dan?" one... yeah i like.

Am I the ONLY regular runner who has never had "Run Forrest Run" yelled at me?

why doesnt anybody have any ganas. They dont expect to get a rise out of you so a simple middle finger, "im going to f*ck your mother" or "mcdonalds is that way fatass" always turns the tables on them.

just watched this movie the other day and the perfect comeback hit me:

"You're gonna die of AIDS"

a la Jenny

I got that shit at the beginning of a run tonight and I got so mad I actually picked up a decent-size rock and carried it for the next bunch of jerks.

About a half-mile later another four white-trash teenagers out joyriding slowed down and stopped and sure looked like they wanted to start something. But the driver saw my right hand and pulled away.

Just one victory, but one is enough!

I wouldn't be totally serious, basically calling them out. But if it did get physical I most likely wouldn't get my ass kicked. Not every runner out there is a 130-140 pound pussy. And not every 130-140 pound runner is even a pussy.

for God's sake and mine, would you let this lame thread die in peace? Let it go, geeks.
