  1. I guess he would be a barron first. Seriously hope that shit isn't true. His old man some similar type issues according to his high school academy classmates...allegedly.
  2. ..and also founder of Wendy's Hamburgers.
  3. I think you mean Bond, Isaiah Bond, wearing #007.
  4. ...and there is also no such thing as "Scotchtoberfest"
  5. So Vance has two beards?
  6. To this day I blame the Texas loss on Russell and his wife for scheduling their wedding on Big 12 championship game day....2001. We watched the carnage at the reception. Really more on Russell since his wife is a bigger UT fan than him.
  7. User name does not check out.
  8. Vance could use a few pointers from the original guyliner king, Nestor Carbonell of Lost fame as Richard Alpert.
  9. Damn them all and their thick lustrous Breck girl hair.
  10. . . .and it's easier to say and write than "affirmative action"...and is fresher than "woke", which is just sooooooo 2020.
  11. More like "JD looks like a rapist murderer rolling up on his third victim of the day... er couch."
  12. If they liked Obama's tan suit, they are just going to luuuuuuv that.
  13. Ironically, at the very beginning of the pandemic, Rogan had Dr. Michael Osterholm (Director of CIDRAP) as his guest, who ended up as a solid voice of reason and best practices during the whole thing. Even more ironic was that my wife sent me the link to that specific podcast.
  14. Yes. They are. Just about every tall wall rock gym in the world has a speed wall. Go examine the holds if you get chance. It's the speed that is difficult to come by.
  15. What do you call two apparent contradictions that may, nevertheless, be true? Paradoxes.
  16. The holds are actually pretty large by rock climbing standards.
  17. Is that true? If so, why not more attention on it?
  18. Trump parking paint job looks more like Bidden than Trump. What a stupid program. Yes, let's allow year after year of seniors to use whatever paint they feel like over last year's whatever senior paint. Hey, it's no big deal, all that shit just washes into the ocean anyway...and we get a sweet $200 every year. How about you get a numbered space and park in it?
  19. To Mike Johnson: Shut up and legislate.
  20. Probably, but everybody thought Ondra was a shoe in for the gold in Tokyo and he didn't even medal.
  21. My dad grew up in Refugio county and his family owned the funeral home there. Due to WWII he was pressed into service as the ambulance driver at age 12 accompanied by his 9 year old younger brother. This was not an ambulance in the modern sense. They would drive to auto fatalities and take care of collecting the deceased and other less gruesome duties. Dad didn't elaborate much on the blood and guts, but I was forbidden from having a motorcycle due to the decapitations he saw when the motorcyclists encountered the barbed wire fences down there. Pretty salty work for a 12 year old. Also, as a side note, one of their favorite things to do in the summer was to sneak into the oil drilling sites and swim in the discharge pits. Dad was almost 90 when he died last summer...and not from cancer. Go figure.
  22. My boys are competitive climbers and know Sam well. They don't do speed but have all been competing in bouldering and sport since they were 7. Sam was a pretty run of the mill youth climber but found his mojo with speed.
  23. It takes awhile before certain parts aren't sore . Also, as a runner you are aware of the tremendous benefits of hill and speed work. Those are easy 30 to 45 minute workouts that you should do during the week. As cyclists (and runners to a lesser extent), we become too infatuated with distance. Distance is great for seeing a lot of ground or prepping for a charity ride, but can be time consuming and obsesive in nature. This is supposed to be fun. The hurt doesn't need to last for hours. That is what the speed and hill work are for. I am in the process of changing my mileage I mentioned above to do just that. Most of us on this board need to realize that we are never going to average more than 20mph and should try to enjoy this sport more. I do it mostly because, for the most part, it makes me feel like a kid again. I run a simple set up and just ride. That being said, I think it would be super cool to do some cross country bike packing shit.
  24. Try to gef as much info as you can on proper form. Dont be afraid to go ride without you kit. Just put some shorts on an do 10 to 15 miles. Ride in group for motivation. Road cycling can get boring real fast. I am 57 and started when I was 55. I do 100 to 150 miles per week at 17 to 18.8 average mph. 5'11" 190lbs.
