Unfortunately, in the context it just comes off like you missed the joke. Damn this common language dividing us.

Hmpph, well I'm sure I speak for most here when I say I don't care for jokes in any form. Please refrain from making them in the future. This is a board for serious discussion only. If you really feel the need to "have a laugh" then I suggest you do it in a thread clearly marked as such. That is all.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!

Back to the Olympics, have to say I am loving every minute of it. Forget the argument about what is and what isnt a sport or what should be at the Olympics and just enjoy sport being competed at the highest level. The time zone is good for me which helps, last night I was watching Tai Kwon Do and table tennis, I am watching BMX as I type, loved Bolt and Phelps. I even watched the 20k walk. Did you know the winner finished in 1:25 !!!!!! try running 20k in under 1:25 (in fact dont you cant do it).

Speed walking is fucked. Fuck that shit. It goes against natural human movement. In a bad way. At a certain speed, we must run. Imagine having a Kentucky Derby race that was limited to canter. Fuck that shit.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

That's another thing I fucking hate. Shin splints is a myth!

Says the runner !!!
I just watched the mens 50k walk, those guys covered marathon distance in under 3 hours which is unbelievable. The funny thing is as soon as they cross the finish line they break into a run whereas all of sports they break into a walk.

I think race walking looks very silly (all the hip movement)...just run already...
