Deer LetsRun.Com Community,
I've been coming to LetsRun.Com for over 10 years, and in that time I've come across and participated in some hilarious threads. So, what's your favorite inside joke that only another LetsRunner would know?
I'll get this thread started with mine, and I'll only need 4 words to do it...
Pirate, Cat, Gun Girl.
I like that, multiple LRC memes in one post. But it would be better if you had used a PowerPoint presentation [still my all-time favorite]. I've tried to explain that Tegenkamp doesn't run the 10,000 meters to even my modestly track-literate family and no one finds it remotely funny. Thank you all for being here.
Congrats on the decade! I think it's 11 or 12 for me? What's amazing is how similar the web page looked back then to how it looks today:
http://web.archive.org/web/20000621161105/http://www.letsrun.com/Some needs to DROP THE HAMMER on this thread and incoporate 10+ memes into this.
As an aside, placing a gebrhibet on who would gebriown was fun for a while but sadly gebriwhet did not run like a gebrhibeast.
Years back there was a thread about training to take a dump, competitively, using the Jack Daniels formula terminology. I think it was my first visit to LR, and I would burst out laughing involuntarily for about a week afterwards. Can't seem to find it now, though.
- The often hilarious threads about POSE running
- The debates concerning the legitimacy of race walking

You used 5 words genius.
Deer, Pirate, Cat, Gun Girl. Deer is a letsrun inside joke.
Not a joke, per se, but my favorite letsrun meme is how people use their posting handle to add to the joke.
"Help me break 15:30 for the 5k!"
RE: "I hope you're a girl."
Pooping in compression socks because they are too expensive.
Dudes a baller. New, but good.
"Rolling around on the ground like 2 hobos fighting over a sandwich"
the best thread in the history of the site was 'kenyan letsrun threads'
Shorts over/under tights
2004 --- Formally established the concept of "All Goal Pace Training, All The Time".
You're right--this is a classic that deserves recognition...

Here it is.
Original Post:
My buddy is a developer and has a plot of land with a GIANT hole in it. Think the size of a football stadium and parking lot. It was excavated to use the material to make concrete/sand or something like that.
What would YOU do with a giant hole in the ground?
Landfill and parking lot have already been suggested.
Response posted by DEATHMATCH:
The natural enemy of the hole is the pile!
You must locate a giant pile and allow them to do battle.
