I think the Jackson thread is dying.
Yep. There's only so many point guard-related food topics that can be covered in this forum.

Also, I would like to thank GTO for pointing out that tomatoes didn't exist in Italy prior to 1492. That was quite a thread tangent that he led us down.
 
Just read this on aging and running.



This made me go all CG spreadsheet. Spreadsheet says old man Boxster would run a 27 minute 5k. **** that. Now I am tempted to really try a running comeback and go all age denial. I know I can't run 20 minute 5k anymore but damn, 27 minutes seems so ****in' slow!

Not feeling the aging love.


a 27 minute 5k would seem so fast to me. Haha, sounds like old man Boxster would probably kick my butt!
 
I ain't flying to no Iceland and risk getting run over by a glacier or eaten by a Yedi for a piece of chocolate.

Is that a cross between a Yeti and Yoda?

As far as the chocolate, I'm curious where you can grow Cocoa in Iceland. It can't be any good - I'll stick to my Swiss chocolate so I know that it is grown right there in the Alps.
 
I think it needs to die after the racial slur was dropped.

You piqued my curiosity - I don't know that it's actually a racial slur. It's what people used to call those with Downs Syndrome due to the changes in their facial features caused by the Syndrome. Either way, it's not particularly nice.
 
I would currently just keel over at about one mile and watch you and your cool colored running shoes run off into the distance.
:sad:


now that I'm considering getting new ones, I looked and not nearly as fun color combos in the two versions since I got mine. May have to just try and find the same ones again.

That's what I was going to say. I didn't think it was racist. Offensive, yes (and I'll admit I've used it jokingly a few times) but not racist.

I suddenly feel like I'm in the Fennelly/Moody thread.

A term used for those of Central and Eastern Asian decent also. Definitely not used in polite conversation.
