to the NYC Marathon, that is.
Quote
Lance Armstrong told the Reuters news service yesterday that he is still undecided about his future, which includes offers to work as an actor or enter politics. But he said one thing's for sure: He's going to run again in the New York City Marathon. "I've decided I'm going back, even though I'm still shaking it off and still limping," Lance said, admitting that he hasn't run since crossing the finish line on Nov. 5. The 35-year-old Texan called the 26.2-mile event "the hardest thing I've ever done." But it was worth the pain for two reasons: It raised his "celebrity capital" and it raised $779,397 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation that benefits cancer survivors.

I wish there was a cycling event in the US of that magnitude, since running is so ghey.

has mrbubbles, nocondorfx, or trackstar10 hijacked your account?

munkyv22

No, I just don't like running.

thatguy

Wow, what a witty and intelligent post. Evidently a lot more people are "ghey" than I thought.

munkyv22

Yes, clearly I was aiming for elloquence. You people amaze me with your utter lack of ability to spot sarcasm. I even spelled it G H E Y. It's a humurous pejorative meant to be taken lightly.

Apparently, I am not the one with an Internet Communication Disorder.

The man is an animal. However, the nature of cycling vs the nature of running leads me to believe the odds of his success with running are not nearly as good. Running is about injury management and at his age I don't think he's likely to be resilient enough to make huge wins consistently.

Did anyone see him on "You, Me, and Dupree"??? Now he's trying to break into the movie scene.

GuitarWizard

I personally loved his appearance in "Dodgeball"....very funny scene, I thought.....

HAMMER MAN

yea a bit part and he really suxked for his 30 seconds of hollywood fame

munkyv22

Best part of the movie.

Umm, I'm pretty sure that THINGS cannot be "ghey" you socially ******** lackwit. Get some perspective and lose the passive agressive gay bashing.

nocondorfx

not to sound like im up munkyv's youknowwhat, but I think the quote was used by this definition:

from urban dictionary:
2. ghey

a derivation of gay meaning lame. meant to be non-offensive to individuals of a *****exual persuasion.

bbattle

what was this thread about again?

DrPete 

Because "ghey" isn't meant to sound totally like "gay?"

Just because you spell it differently, it's still gay-bashing. The word "gay" has been misused so much as a derogatory term that we now think we can spell it a little differently and not offend the group that was belittled by the original spelling?

The really funny thing is that the "up munkyv's youknowwhat" comment at the beginning of the post was yet another homophobic comment, of course implying that any two men who agree with or support each other are gay.

Oh, but wait, you said "youknowwhat," so it's not homophobic after all.

munkyv22

Wow, I totally missed this post.

Uhm. let's see. You're an ignorant idiot. Please stop using the Internet until you have learned its jargon. Also not passive-aggresive, I am bi myself; So shut it.

Jackass.

DrPete 

You really don't find that at all derogatory?? I'm asking because it surprises me. Not trying to start a flame-fest here, just trying to learn something.

munkyv22

Nope. I was using gay to mean lame back before I even cared about orientation. Now with the PC thing going, it's ghey to be non-offensive.

Like Carlons Mencia said: "You can call me whatever you want. Doesn't hurt me one bit."

... and the show has reached a new low

Some people probably think that was very insensitive of you to post it on the intarweb mang

Gusboh

See, where you went wrong is that you didn't give it a bit of.

Running 1s t3h GH3Yz0r5 L0Lzs!!111!!!!eleventyone!!!!+aliens

Therefore, what you said was serious.

One would think that after the Koffee Brown debarkle that people would realise that not everything other people say is meant in the literal sense.

Rotten Bastard

Sometimes ghey is spelled "gh3y"

Leetspeak

Umm.. anyway, sorry to keep the thread off topic. I hope Lance keeps at the marathons; the guy is turning out to be a bit of an eccentric, and I think he's much more interesting now than he was when he was riding.

slvoid

Apparently Lance didn't like my comment about him barely eeking out a sub-3 hr marathon so he's come back for more.. this time, more poison in the water...

rushguy

Its called RAGBRAI and he is riding the entire week this year.

pedex

not even close, RAGBRAI might be a party on wheels, but it isnt a party racing against the clock
