Where can you get answers to questions about your passion? Right here with out a doubt this forum covers it all. Not only do you get answers but a good dose of humor. So here I have a list of some of the funniest things I can remember or that I think is funny about this forum.
Q Why hasn’t triathlon grown to a super sport?
A. We run in speedo’s
Q. How to take a piss during a race?
A. Tom Demerly’s very explict step by step instructions.
Bunnymans farewell, (personally I think he is lurking and repeating to himself just say no)
I forgot who did it but the play by play as if it was done by a race announcer of the great PC debate.
I am just pretending to be a poser
Celiene Dion walks into a bar, bartender says why the long face.
90% percent of the game is mental the other half is physical
Cafe lactate
Ktalon has a change of heart and is now yaquicarbo
Tom Demerly, enough said
Slowman luring Kevin-queens for two days into a question that has only one sensible answer about how much to pay for a bike fitting.
The Red Bull addict.
I could go on forever, Thanks guys for all the humor it makes for a refreshing break.
go see the picture on Xtri of the guy at IM Australia (and read the story). Reminds me of Retroman at IM LP last year. What I want to know is: Did he do the marathon in those shoes or change a 100 yards from the finish? Anyone know? Retroman did the entire race (bike and run) in his Chuck Taylor’s. If this guy did the race in those things I am impressed.
Ahh, the forum. Tribunal of truth. Last bastion of sentient thought. The only sagacious haven for the truly wise, truly omniscient. Where spelling is as random as vocabulary. Praise be upon it. I can appear the expert while not knowing my ass from a hole in the ground. Time for more caffeine, and maybe a Red Bull. Snickers bar while I’m at it.
Good thread. I know I really appreciate it this forum especially after what became of what for many of us was our original internet home…rec.sport.triathlon. Back in the mid-90’s alot of familiar names where there…and now, ahh oh well.
I guess I will have to make the pilgrimage to Tom’s place in Michigan. Anybody with that much passion for the sport is OK with me.
Great list Stewart. But you forgot the funniest thing ever to hit this forum – the Orang-utan. That wacko was absolutely hilarious. And then Gerard with his primates hate 'em ad, that was beautiful.
And then Slowman had to go and shoot the monkey. In cold blood! Dan Empfield is many things, but above all he is a Monkey Killer!
The funniest thing I have read is when Tom asked what people would like to see when he goes to the wind tunnel…And someone suggested Tom whip his dick out and test how aero it is to pee on the bike. I’ll tell you, I almost peed myself when I read that.
This heathen, this devil called “Orang-utan”, he has been defeated. His stomach has been roasted in hell. He has been condemned. Jihad has been brought against him. He is like a snake with no head: worthless before our eyes. We have defeated him. Together with our brothers Gerard, Dan and Frank, priase be upon them, we have driven him from the gates and cast him into the desert, where he wanders- beheaded- in a death stupor. He is no more. Let this serve as a warning to future “orangs”: Only flames await you at the gates of Slowtwitch. Death and flames. Their suicide awaits on this forum. Cast stones upon them.
This devil, this thief of all that is good, “orang-utan”- he tried to poison our minds with his tongue. But we used our knives to cut out his tongue. Like a snake in the grass he was beheaded. He was defeated with stones and shoes. He is no more. We have defeated him. Jihad against orang-utan, Jihad against race bandits. Rejoice upon their flacid corpses. They die a thousand deaths. And remember this great wisdom: “If a prince is given but one leg, what use are Powercranks unto him?” Praise be upon you.

Do you have any double blind, duck blind, seeing eye dog for the blind, peer reviewed, AND pier reviewed (studied by landlubber fishermen) studies that suggest a need for this question? HHRRuuMMFFF!
