A Day in Slowtwitchland

Slowtwitch is boring…always the same stuff over and over again…

talk swimming, biking, running

Then we wonder how to become faster bikers when everyone knows the answer:

Sometimes, Flomauer comes to talk about nutrition:

Of course, Smartasscoach comes and feels compelled to be a mean bastard:

Then Monk

asks for more pictures in the Hottie Thread:

All this under the supervision of the Master, aka Slowman…

Man, we need to do something about this! this world is so predictable!

you have a lot of time on your hands, mr. mathematician.

still don’t believe in probability?

sacrilege!

you don’t believe or not believe in probabilities…it’s just a set of axioms.

but you fear flying…

and I said that I am aware this fear is irrational…

Smurf-a-rific! I can’t stop laughing!

Is that your collection Francois? Is that your hidden fetish? :wink:

Thanks for the laugh :smiley:

Two things for the mathematician:

In all probability, he’ll be back with an axiom to grind on some subject.

Although the numbers to prove flying’s safety is real, and just a fraction of the hazards of driving a car, on the whole we know his fear is irrational, but he hasn’t be able to integerate it into his psyche.

Dude,

I appreciate France and the French for so much that they have given to western history and culture (including an “outrageous accent” that englishmen love to mock…) but I will never, EVER forgive the french for the Smurfs.

Hilarious. When my daughter was a child the Smurfs were her absolute favorite. I’ll have to pass this thread on to her.

and I said that I am aware this fear is irrational…

How is the fear of flying irrational? Do planes not crash?

I am fine with the Smurfs, I would like to get whoever created Barney.

Just how large is your Smurf Collection? Can you do a mass photo, like a curtain call.

You should…they were created by Peyo, who is from…Belgium.

As for AJHull…this is not my collection, May-Lise use to collect them as a kid and could never get rid of them…so this is just a few of her 400+ smurf collection.

Dammit! Just when I have the perfect put down, Belgium gets in the way and ruins everything (the only thing I have in common with Kaiser Wilhelm II). Was Peyo a Walloon? If he is I should get partial credit for him being a francophone.

When I was young I so wanted to blame France for french fries, too. Too bad for me that they’re really Belgian frites. f***ing Belguim.

If you read Blink by Gladwell or Freakonomics by Levitt (I forget which- both good) they will burst your bubble about driving being safer b/c if you do the math of accidents per hour of operation, driving is safer.

there…it’s not complete (far from it…but it takes a while to line them up…)…btw, this will go on Ebay soon

You’re not normal… that is why you are my friend… :-)))

That’s…Just wrong!

I knew the French had a screw loose…who really has all them Smurfs? And why does Slowman (Papa Smurf) look like he is filling his bong?

Q: Whats the worst part of having a huge smurf collection?

A: Telling your parents that you are gay.

I know you’re “married”, but we now know it was just a ruse to get into the country.

Francois, seriously, owning a smurf collection is not something you should admit to. However it is quite hilarious.

we got married ‘aux acquis’ which means that we co-own only the stuff we got after getting married. Therefore, I am not responsible for the smurf collection :wink:

Besides, my parents would likely prefer me to be gay than having a collection of smurfs.

Anyway, it will go on ebay. hopefully someone with kids is interested…either that, or maybe I can sell it to michael Jackson
