46x16 @ 140 rpms is 31.5 mph...hard to believe that you would be able to hold that through the entire length of the tunnel but if so, that's quite a feat.

No thanks. You'll just have to go on beating yourself.

Yes, but you are the guy who has to have jokes explained to him. You're like the guy at the ballgame who has to keep asking his friend what the crowd is yelling about.

Some of us have figured out how to turn self-righteousness into physical energy. See what happens when you miss a meeting?

And you would know because you're a member of that crowd who aimlessly yells at nothing with beer dribbling down your chin, boasting that you're funnier than hell and getting all up in everyone's face. like I've told you before, it's all in the delivery of the joke. Keep working on it. You'll get there.

Insult me as you like, good sir, but do not impugn my beer-drinking skills.

Would you guys just race already?

Question is, will it be a drag race through the tunnel at midnight for beers, or a 2.4 mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run?

usage of the word "*****" - homophobic
"supporting jerry springer" aka a knock at someone whos of a lower class because youre clearly so above it all - classist
im not making this up.

gg is black because his body is slowly decaying six feet underneath the new hampshire top soil. youll inevitably look the same.
i can ride and i can swim, but i cant run.
