    Me either. Can we throatpunch both of them?

     

    I think room317 and the blogger both deserve medals for this thread. Or at least some special recognition

      I don’t normally get too up in arms about people’s race reports, but if you thought there was a small chance you were going to have to DNF, why in God’s name would you take pictures on the course or stop to tweet? And then, when you got swept, why would you take the finisher’s medal and wear it around as if you had finished? No.

       

      And to think, it all started with this simple post. Reading it at the time, would you ever have been able to predict the outcome?

        re: stale peeps?  No.  That was an unexpected, yet pleasant derailment.

        Do you even run?

            I've never been a Peeps fan but now I kind of want to try them stale. Maybe that was the key all along.

                I've tried them fresh and stale. I'll pass unless they're the only sweets available.

                    I'd pass even if I were told that they are the only things sweet left on earth.

                      Same here. I have a major sweet tooth, but if I'm doing sweets, it's dark chocolate FTW!!!

                       

                      Had an awesome dark chocolate lava cake for dessert last night.Wow! It was....yummy. Smile

                          I don't do sweets everyday, but when I do, I want big time calories and luxury!

                              And to think, it all started with this simple post. Reading it at the time, would you ever have been able to predict the outcome?

                               

                              Definitely.

                               

                              I've been around long enough that I saw this coming from a mile away. It's been done dozens

                              of times and usually goes something like this.

                               

                              Step 1 - pile on of intitial topic ( in this case poor unsuspecting blogger)

                              Step 2 - defense of blogger

                              Step 3 - pile on of OP

                              Step 4 - defense of OP ( well I think we did this phase?)

                              Step 5 - people are getting bored but it's still fun so we veer off to totally unrelated topics

                              Step 6 - some name calling or not as you see it

                              Step 7 - back to unrelated topics

                              Step 8 - someone tried to get back on topic, usually this is not successful

                              Step 9 - more unrelated topics, usually about food or sex, hardly ever about running

                              Step 10 - thread dies a slow death but is remembered by fondly by many (usually not the OP though)
