Reminiscing: Did I deserve to be kicked off my high school track team during my senior year of HS 7 years ago?

PPLEASE LET ME INTERRUPT WITH NEWS UPDATE ABOUT TAOUFIK

POST OF THE YEAR!!!!!

it wasn't even the real Jakir. Notice the space in the handle?

Hello all.

What I think here - IF this whole story is real, I, for the life of me do not understand what the school and the running coach had to do with whatever happens outside school functions (unless it were a police matter). This party wasn't happening during or immediately after a school supervised race or function. Or on school property.

I always thought what a student, university or HS , does on his own time is his own business.

I for one do not think Hingle Mc .......needed to be singled out for discipline of that nature - whether he was slow or not, whether he was of a nerdy personality or not. Big deal if it were his hosting this HS gathering, sound like everyone had fun

However I do agree, as much as this sucked for him, he shouldn't be ruminating about this HS crap. Hell, maybe Hingle could have done better running solo.

"the past can hurt you not"

Once again, my take on this saga.

Your sarcasm is appreciated, but actually you were pretty close on 2 out of 3. !4:38 (but I was 1500m guy) $150K, and 152.

With all due respect (so, none), based on your posts, you do not strike me as someone with an IQ of 152.

Thank you for saying this. I am always amazed by the claims that people make on these forums. If all of these claims are true, then I have never encountered anyone worth encountering. Everyone on letsrun claims to be an obscenely rich sub-15 runner who also happens to be an academic savant. Does anyone else notice this?

Thank you for thanking me. For the record, I am a very average person and am not claiming to be any smarter than that person, although I can tell he is probably a weenie in real life. I got a 1270 SAT, UF graduate, economics/political science major, smoked weed pretty much everyday undergrad.

I don't know, just food for thought.

LMAO. Yes, your life sucks because you were an average runner that didn't run track your senior year.

Yes! I am a pretty average high school runner: my pr is 18:16, and I make relatively good grades. You have no idea how much I appreciate knowing that someone has posted on here who does not claim to be a god in all aspects of life.

Dick size in inches?

Hingle McCringleberry, do you often suffer from dingleberries?

virtually everyone in high school goes to parties where there is alcohol. ergo various people throw those parties. it is okay for them to have fun. lighten up. and coaches, it is absurd to throw someone off the team because they held a party. now to bring booze (in college) onto the team bus for our return trip from spring break and to drink it without being able to get the cans off the bus the next morning was definitely an error in judgment and deserved the coach's tongue lashing>but to kick the offenders off the team would have served no purpose.

A 152 IQ, $150k/year, and no knowledge of the apostrophe?

Exactly what I was saying awhile ago.

First off, I wouldn't have mentioned any of it if another poster didn't call me out. Second this is LRC - you don't think this site attracts decent runners ? If you think my times are lightning fast you are deluded - it was the Pac 10. My track times didn't even qualify me for the conference meet. On my best day I was 5th man on on the XC team. I was very average by Pac 10 standards. Everything I have in my life is the result of hard work, and the lessons I learned from running carried over into other areas of my life. I am not obscenely rich. Its called hard work for a lot years. You should try it sometime. I don't care if you believe me or not, but really, my times and income are really not that great and hardly unbelievable. If you think they are, then you need to work harder and believe in yourself more. AND STOP LIVING IN THE PAST WISHING THAT THINGS COULD HAVE GONE DIFFERENTLY. Its a complete waste of time and energy, move on and stay positive. Life is not about how many times you get knocked down, its about how many times you get back up. If you use your failures or setbacks as excuses you'll never get anywhere.

Jesus Christ, dude. You really need to learn about comma splices, apostrophes, when to use a semicolon versus a comma, and the proper use of coordinating conjunctions. You just sound uneducated and ignorant.

Face it. I am better than you in every way.

I know, right ? I bet I could make a lot more money if I could only learn how to use an apostrophe correctly while posting on the LRC message boards.

Dude, just stop already. At first I kind of hated you when you started posting on this thread, but now I just feel kind of bad for you. Cut your losses and kindly duck out of this thread. Better yet, why don't you take a break form LRC for a little while. I think it would do you some good.

Well, well, well. Lil' Hingle just may have some testicles beginning to descend ! Now take your new found confidence and apply it to the rest of your life. Stop wasting time trolling the boards with your pity tales. If you think you are better than me in every way, then good on you. Take that same confidence to your next job interview, your next date prospect, your running, and everything else in your life and you might have a chance to turn things around.

Through in depth analysis of the linguistic style of the posts under the handle Deadman Running, I believe Deadman Running is actually a woman.
