Dumbest overheard/said to you at a turkey trot?

I won a local Turkey Trot in 15:14 back when I was still competing a little in 2012 a guy came up to me and said that is pretty good. I responded by saying thanks. I did not elaborate that my best was well over a minute faster. He figured he would try to impress me only to look like a fool... Below is the basics of the conversation!!!

Him: Have you ever heard of Peter Malone?

Me: No I don't think so!!!

Him: He went to my High School and ran a 3:50 Mile in my high school!!

Me: Have you ever heard of Alan Webb, Luke Verzbicas, Jim Ryun, Tim Danielson, or Marty Liquori???

Him: No!!!

Me: Those are the only high school runners to have ever broken 4:00 in the mile.

Me: Then your full of $hit!!!

This poster is the archetype of a letsrunner. Fast but without a hint of social skills.

Smile and wave boys, smile and wave

"That was the longest 5K I ever ran."

Said at the finish line of the local Turkey Trot which is a 10K.

"Hey - do you know who the first American-born finisher was?"

You can help me. Whatever comes out of these gates, we've got a better chance of survival if we work together. Do you understand? If we stay together we survive.

The time for honoring yourself will soon come to an end.

We who are about to die, salute you!

Making me laugh out loud in the middle of my office

I hate how much I enjoy this website.

Wrong, moran. He’s the stereotype. The archetype is the original version.

And he probably ran the race in the wrong direction.

we used to have "age group awards" for sex/age groups at our local Turkey Trot. This year, our race director, who is an avid letsrun reader, decided to introduce Foreign/American but not born in America/ American-born American as another category. His son, also a letsrun regular and early Trump supporter, is thinking about directly introducing race as another category, while his daughter insists on making gender non-binary. In the end, we hope that all our participants can finish top 3 in their respective gender/age/race/country group. they are all winners!

Tour De France style

I'm just here fer' the beer and broads, from a fat, white guy wearing Texas flag shorts that looked like a diaper.

Lol, so other than the screwed up flag shorts, what’s wrong with booze and women?! Holy crap, can no one have fun any longer? Unless one is training for the trials, it all doesn’t truly matter.....

While my fam is running the trot in the morning I will be having 3 or 4 cups of coffee and will definitely break out a really nice Padron 1926 Maduro. When the crew and extended family returns with all the pies they “won” at the race I will have queued up a smorgasbord of great juice....Kosta Browne, Blankiet, and a tremendous Herb Lamb I have been saving. Everyone here can complain about the trot and I will just finish it off with a large glass of Auchentoshan 24 Year Old Noble Oak. Cheers!

This gorgeous female runner was on the starting line next to me which seemed pretty cool at first. I was even thinking about asking her out a few minutes of pleasant conversion later. But then she started asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions... "Have you seen any good movies lately? I love going to Alamo Drafthouse!" "There's this amazing new Argentinian food restaurant near my apartment. Have you tried it yet?" and then the worst "Do you smoke weed? I love to smoke and watch netflix after the race, but it can get boring doing it all alone." I was like "Oh look, it's time to do my strides!" I even did a few extra to avoid her. What a bimbo!

"I voted for Trump."

The suburbs in all their soulless grandeur, complete with your polite transactional marriage and 2.4 children, await you.

This morning: college runner proceeds to tell everyone he is “tempoing this thing, but picking it up in the back half” gets absolutely wrecked
