You go to RED LOBSTER. ha

Nor go in the back door.

I went with like-like. It just felt right.

You really are delusional. Out of everything everyone has posted over the past few days, you took one sentence by fringe and applied it to the exclusion of all others. That's cool. I think it's pretty clear that you are insane and need acceptance so bad you're willing to be evaluated by two additional people to try to get it.

I look forward to what each of them has to say. In fact, I hope you keep asking people until you're satisfied with a response, because that day ain't comin'.

Objectively speaking, under anyone's standard's, you are not pretty.

I think the self-delusion for that (one I haven't used) is "this won't hurt that bad" or the pragmatic "he's just going to keep asking for it, so I might as well."

Maybe I should have approached this differently, like a head-to-head competition. New poll: Shape Shifter or nfh?

This occured on martha's vinyard and the lobster appeared fresh....does that count?

Is there cuddling involved?

A friend of mine teaches my run class. He biked the Leadville 100 last weekend, and when he came back, he said a similar mantra kept him going for 8:49:51. He beat his time from last year by ten minutes and moved from the top 80 to the top 50. He also ended up with mild hypothermia thanks to a nasty thunderstorm for the last two hours of the race. I don't think he dined al fresco, but he probably had a beer or two at a bar after they let him out of the hospital.

It was hard to bitch much about running up and down hills for an hour after he told us about the race.

were you in edgartown? is that outable? sorry....

Because you all have such good taste.
 

You spelled it wrong.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Regardless, I am discreet and thoughtful and nice. We agree to disagree and you are a mean bastard. I will meet other people and you can think I am a wack job. whatever.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

No. Chappaquiddick.

Although the story I heard was Penske did the old dine and dash.

My uncle used to chant that before Russian Roulette.

I am volunteering for this. Breakfast afterward so I can report on your hotness to the board?

Hey, I volunteered too. weird.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

You misunderstand me. I am taking no position on whether she is delusional or whether or not this is a good or bad thing. I am just saying that to proclaim you are not delusional is a bit dubious becuase, like, if you really are delusional, then, well, you don't know that you are because of the whole delusion thing, and you probably have deluded yourself into thinking you are not delusional, so, like, when you say you are not delusional, well, sure -- it may be true; but how do we know based just on your statement?

Think about it.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

No, he meant Maine the state not main as in, I guess, Main Street.

This is kind of the opposite of the Total. Burn.

I do not like them, Sam-I-am.


Sorry, shifty.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

That's awesome!

How many IVs did he get? They are gold for recovery. Gold!

eta: 8:49....maybe I should try Leadville, I can go that long. Flower, wanna race?!?

Because you all have such good taste.
 

Wow. I mean that. I would like to do this someday. I think a goal of 8:49:51 is unattainable for me, however. Send my congrats to your unusually-named friend.

eta: Alrighty! It's me vs. Penske. Leadville 2008?

No way, dude.

By the end, you'll come around.

True story:

The night before the race I was at some restaurant, somewhere on the island, with my parents. There were two guys in front of us, one of whom was telling the other a story, which basically amounted to that for Mother's Day earlier that year (the story is occuring in Sept) he got tattooed. An "M" on each ass cheek.

My mother was sort of upset by the mental picture this evoked and couldn't eat, which was good for me, as I ate her pasta. Carbo load indeed!

Because you all have such good taste.
 

True story:

Once during a race I saw a guy who took a header going down a mountain pass, at (approx) 55 MPH, die. so I guess the comparison is sort of on point.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

I was married on the island. It is so beautiful.

Where do we vote?

True story:

I was out last night with my bf and the partner that I work most closely with, and my bf asked him (apropos of something the partner said):

"Where exactly is Uranus?"

Hilarity ensued.

eta to note that said partner is flaming. nttawwt.

Let me ask you this (and it's going to take a tremendous effort on your part to suspend belief for however long it takes you to answer) and I want you to answer it as honestly as you can:

I know you think I was untruthful and mean in my evaluation, but hypothetically speaking, if I actually thought you were chubby and not pretty or cute, how could I have said so without you thinking I was mean? Seriously, how would you have drafted a response given that hypothetical?

Is the only way to not be mean to say you are pretty? Maybe I should have blamed the lighting?

Will do!

When he did it last year, his goal was to finish under ten and a half hours, and he finished right under nine. He had no idea what to expect the first race, and he was just really hoping to finish it. If you don't finish in under 12 hours, they don't consider that you've finished. This time around, he knew what to expect and had some more lofty goals.

He said he was pretty blown away when he got passed by a girl and never saw her again. And later he got passed by a guy on a one speed. There were even a couple of tandems up there.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

You misunderestimated the profundity of my analysis of your astute observation. If we are all deluded, then what's any one person's delusion but another subjective spin on an unattainable reality?

Thank about it.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

She would have looked much better had you not been late.

I think you may have stumped the stumper!

Not even on the inside?

I will contribute too. And there is no need to report on your hotness because your smokin'ness has already been accurately confirmed.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

I'm trying to figure out how to thank about something. Do I roam around it, being grateful?

I love love love love love Shifty.

Because you all have such good taste.
 

True story, no offence:

Your first girl...always a tough moment. Mine was in a corn field in Muncie, IN. Around mile 9. She was a pro from Baltimore.

Two summers ago, I passed a dead guy on the road during a race. According to my friend, who was in the pack the guy was in during the crash, they were only going 40 at the time.

Did that race again this summer, but this time, did the team time trial. Safety first.
