AND YES!!!! Nadal and Federer are still in it... and YES... I LOVE Tennis and YES I'm PASSIONATE (sp- don't think this board has auto spell check) about this shit..... *** sigh*** I just won't "twitterate" about it anymore. Geez.... just shoot me now.... So... in avoidance of "twitteration" I think I have to say something "pithy" and "relevent".... um... can't do that... so... deal....
Prefontaine in the 5K in the '72 Olympics. Viren gets him in one of the most awesome races EVER. Then Viren falls and gets up to win the 10K. Pre was just 21. 21! Unbelievable.

My "Dream Team" is in the finals of the French... Nadal vs Federer... I'm over the proverbial moon.... In deference to those who harbor disdain for such things as "hitting balls" back and forth.... I shall show restraint in my fervor and fury.... btw... I got money on Federer... I shall stay away during THE game..... Sunday... 9:00am my time.... fuck yeah! Go Roger....

1) That was very entertaining. I could not believe the frequent use of anaerobic surges to jockey for position. The modern race has shaved quite a few seconds off of that time, and I wonder if the 5000m is run quite a bit differently now.
2) The strides were turning over so rapidly with the arms held in so tightly it looked a bit like the Miller Park Sausage Race.
3) Hey 1972, say hello to 13 year-old swede for me. Tell him to check the bottom of his older brother's sweater drawer.
4) Olympic coverage was so much better back then. It was 90% event-coverage and 10% bullshit. These numbers are now reversed. I had a chair pulled up to the old black and white set for weeks watching almost anything they'd cover. Archery? Root for the American! Weight-lifting? Root for the Russian!

Pre always claimed that since he didn't have a sprinter's kick that he needed to run the competitors hard the whole race - push them so they had nothing left at the end. But hey, he was just 21 and wet behind the ears. Those brash Americans! It's always "Let me tell you...."
DING, DING, DING, DING!!!! Those old skinny-ass chain-smokin' white women are ALL OVER the Casino's here. God forbid you go to the EQC.... ***whew***.... yellow fingers and yellow mustaches on their upper lips... cranky as hell and hatin' life... blowing nickels and Camels left and right....
I drank this entire bottle and am still waiting to get even a little tire in the hole. = (
Surely you understand that drinking crap like this will never get you "tire"....only sick and addled...even the old broad squishing in her diaper down at the room of Owls gets "it"!!! (although she was most DEF sick and addled!) You've hung around the "Four Tireholes of the Apocalypse" long enough to determine THAT! Enter Cheryl... stage left... "I REMEMBER YOU!!! YOU'RE THAT GUY FROM WISCONSIN THAT CUTS UP DEAD PEOPLE!" Good times....
