Pretty solid read. He just got a new subscriber.
F'ing brilliant.
F*cking hate the writing style with a passion.
Dennis Reynolds is the most ignorant poster on this message board.

I'll just provide a short summary of what this blog has to say so nobody else has to waste 10 minutes of their lives reading it.
10% - whining about how he misses Pre and wishes more runners can be like him
10% - bashing Galen Rupp
10% - bashing Alberto Salazar and the Nike-Oregon Project
40% - complaining over and over about Nike
10% - complaining repeatedly about the USATF
5% - complimenting Evan Jager
5% - whining about Eugene
10% - venting frustrations about the USATF and blindly screaming about how T&F is a dirty sport
Anyways, this was most certainly written by a Letsrun poster, so if you go skimming these message boards once in a while, you'll basically see the exact same things.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
SNOOZE FEST - JUVENILE AND TRIES TOO HARD, OR NOT HARD ENOUGH, IN BOTH CASES - FAIL.
Seyta, you seemed to miss the tribute to, and parody of,
Dr.Hunter S. Thompson. I think the writer is targeting an informed literary as well as running audience.
godawful. should be castrated for posting such a dreadful rip-off of the good dr.'s style. wtf is wrong with kids these days?

There is nothing remotely related to Thompson's writing in this blog excluding the name of the work.
Using the words "Fear and Loathing" does not automatically make it a successful parody or tribute.

Exactly. Lacking in original thought and immature to boot!
I remember that guy once called OAR "cheesy and adolescent". Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
I have to agree, This really didnt seem at all like something Hunter would write
I hope to hell this joke for a writer was not paid for his nonsense. Pre definitely would NOT APPROVE of this written trash.
A for effort. He can write better though.
Well, that's two minutes of my life I'll never get back.
"10% - whining about how he misses Pre and wishes more runners can be like him
"10% - bashing Galen Rupp"
20-30 years from now the bashers who are still alive will be going on about how they miss Rupp and wishing more of the current runners were like him.
That was an awesome piece of writing!
Funniest Sh1t ever! haha
