"the inspiration for the Dude"...

“from his office in Santa Monica, Calif.”?
“… beginning a rambling oration”??

…now, who do we know that matches that description?

Nothing to see here...

I'm in the same boat as the guy drinking the Miller Lite... not Caucasians for me Jackie.

That said, I do hate the fucking Eagles.

"Desperado" makes me bleed out of my orifices...

… but I have to say that the performance Joe Walsh gave in “Drew Carey’s Improv Allstars” had me rolling with laughter.

Isn't that what Drew linked above?

Hey… who gave Drew admin rights? He get’s away with a posting with 1 (ONE!) word? What the hell?

errrr, yes

That’s the problem with these one word posts – I missed the link entirely and just focused on the headiing.

I watched Iron Man, the movie recently,

as you may know, Jeff Bridges is the bad guy. Every time he talked, I couldn’t help but picture the Dude. It makes me wonder about those casting folks.

Shortly, after watching Iron Man, I had to see the Big Lebowski, must have been subconscious. And shortly after that I had the urge to have a couple of “Caucasions”.

The Drewd abides

Proposition Jimbo – if you change your screen name to Sonny Jim, I’ll change mine to The Drewd

Hmmm

Tempting. How, oh mighty Admin, would I go about doing that? I cannot find any “change screen name” functionality anywhere…

I just realized that Drew Propositioned Jimbo....

I'll see if I can take care of it

Er

If you can’t, then I suspect I can’t either. You can change a lot of things, but I believe your handle might be the exception, unless you want to start over.

Don't change mine

I encourage you to change yours be “Drewd”, but I like mine as is.

by Jimbo... on Dec 5, 2008 3:50 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I would never proceed without your ok

but sadly I can’t proceed with mine either. Names seem to be locked :-(

Screen name change?

I can’t do that Drew.

The database would blow little steams out its ears ;-)

Um, you just back away from the interwebs Gav.....

very, very slowly.

This video is an attempt to show the ambience at the final hour of the Nice Ironman competition. A lame attempt i'll admit, but wth? If you're ever going to finish towards the end of an ironman, i suggest Nice as the place to do it. The applause and support and general ambience at the end is really remarkable. Dj's, pom-pom girls, people dancing, shouting, dance music blasting ... Some finishers just go on through, others raise their arms or just have a huge smile, one guy did some pushups while the dj counted for him, another did a cartwheel, some ran through with their little kids holding their hands. And this all 8 hours after the winners have finished. 

When i went out my door to walk over to see the last hour or so of the Ironman, the first thing i saw was a guy across the street, pushing his triathlon bike, head hanging down to his chest, walking with a pronounced. Painful. Slow. Trudge. Medal around his neck. He'd done well. Hope he felt better the next day.

Then i got to the promenade and started seeing more of the people who'd finished: one guy asleep on the pavement with his wife by his side in all the raucous noise and confusion and crowds everywhere. Then the medical tent - massages, those heat blanket thingies, oxygen, people limping aorund, Oy! 

Then every now and then you see a finisher with a medal around their neck who look fresh as a daisy, like they've just had a nice walk in the park.

Then finally you get to the finish line ... and that's the video. At the end there's a fireworks display (no one timed their finish to coincide with it this year) and then apparently a few hundred people stayed all night to party on the prom next to the beach until daybreak.

I could not do an ironman even if i wanted to, but i'll be there again next year to help welcome the last finishers in.
