I'm sorry. Perhaps you would feel better if I sent you a motor city bagel for breakfast tomorrow? I co-invented it.

I assume those were 200s. Impressive.

That question would be better posed to her, and rephrased as to what business she had accepting the bet, however, I think it alternately falls under assumption of the risk or no guts no glory.

I was doing it to win, which I did.

Jealousy over NFH doesn't become you anymore than it did when you found out about me and your Mrs.

This is the new "it'll make you blind."

Me too. Now you have me wanting to change, but I have already used the Colts, so ...

If all of this is true, she must be very, very short. Is she on the celebrity height site?

Goddamnit. Now I'm going to have to hit the track and take you down. I hate speed work.

Luckily, I still have the faster PR for the most important race.

You don't lead someoby along for 20 chapters and then give them a clouded, barely discernible "money shot" at the plot's climax. It needed to say, simply "Billy dropped, and his neck snapped, and his body moved not a centimeter save the subtle shifting caused by the waves." Melville stretches that simple fucking point for 8000 words, and tops it with some absurd shit about Billy "rising like a rose in the sun" or some other such silly shit. It reminds me of the end of Contact... "The Aliens look like her dead father? All that shit so she could get ssome cheapass near death experience? Fuuuuuck Sagan."

You actually read that boring piece of shit?

Fucking dork.

Ignore him. He only brags about 5Ks, which are the races the non-competitive run for competition. Speed runners run 1600 and distance runners run 10K. 5k runners are the guys you see on spin bikes come December.

I'm a runner, and I have a lot of friends who run. If you think that the average person who can run multiple miles at an 8:30-9:00 pace (which is a pace of 6.67 - 7.07 MPH) can't increase his or her speed to a 2:00 quarter pace (7.5 MPH) for a quarter of that distance, in a race situation, you are even more of a moron and a liar than I already thought you were. And your story is obviously false. We all knew it when it involved a woman interacting with you, anyway...

She's like 5' tall. 125 at 5' seems like a lot of weight -- full-figured, even.

Here she is next to Paris, who can't be over 5'8".

As someone who played Oliver when I was 12, I can't let this go. It's "Please, sir, I want some more." I also remember the words to Consider Yourself, if you're interested.

I'm a fag.

I am shocked to say I have read 27 (including the two Pynchons abd Appoibntment in Samarra which were all from one english lit class in college as I recall- the O'Hara book is so sebby) of these as I am an avowed unintellectual. And I have picked up but couldnt get through the following:

American Pastoral
Blind Assasin (possibly the most overrated book ever)
Clockwork Orange (must be a guy thing, see also Deliverance)
Naked Lunch
Neuromancer (very big with the 21 year olds in the mid nineties)
Painted Bird
Play It As It Lays (Joan Didion and her late husband are utter bores)
Rabbit Run (or one of the Rabbit books)
Slaughterhouse Five (must try again)
White Noise (see Neuromancer)

I was forced to try to read a Faulkner in college (not Sound and the Fury- one of the lesser appreciated ones and had to go Cliff Notes- that shit was unreadable).

I will also note I never read any of that sci fi childrens shit like Lord of the Rings and the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (so more adult points for me!), but I have read the entire Judy Blume ouevre and am shocked to see that niether Forever, nor Wifey, made the cut. Who can forget Ralph the penis?

No. I don't race in fancy races where you get to use a machine or travel through water. I race like men race: with their feet. On pavement. Constant pounding. Tris are for slow ex-marathoners who use the previous two legs as an excuse for their pathetically slow third leg.
