I can only echo what the commenter said. Christmas come early.

One HELL of a run. Can't believe more people haven't commented about this. We've been waiting EIGHT full years to see this and finally it's here!

Hell yea!!

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that. "If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a Board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough" If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death. "Don't fear moving slowly forward...fear standing still."

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

I'm so glad I started that thread. I was just hoping to get an idea why there was no video, but thanks to wtfunny coming out of the woodwork and some bugging emails I got 10x more than I ever hoped for!

I guess this is testament that letsrun does occasionally prove itself useful, despite its troll infested depths.
