Hi guys. Thanks for thinking about us. The good news is that me and the team I coach are all ok and accounted for, huddled up in our hotel. We were fortunate enough to all be fast enough to have finished before this happened. Most of our team was already back at the hotel. 3 of our ladies were walking back from the finish and heard two loud successive blasts. Aside from being a bit shaken up, they're fine.

I imagine that the confusion must be terrible for those who started racing late. I was off at the gun at 10 AM, but two more waves started at 1020 and 1040. Since the race was immediately canceled after the attack, huge numbers of runners had to exit the course. Cell coverage has been awful (it was a huge pain getting in touch with my wife) so I hope these runners can make contact with their families at first opportunity.

It's tough typing this on my phone, but my brief thoughts are as follows: This is basically Munich. There isn't another sports event as pure as a foot race. %99.99 of the field (myself obviously included) do it knowing that we have a zero-percent probability of winning. Other runners can vouch, but the only people we really race against are ourselves. 28,000 runners wanting nothing more than to defiantly push ourselves against our body's limits. And this bloodthirsty coward took aim at these peaceful runners and the fans who cheered us on. All terrorism is obviously abhorrent, but it takes a special kind of evil to target this kind of celebration of the human spirit.

Glad you and yours are safe.

It makes me sick to my stomach to see what happened today.

My thoughts are with all those who were hurt. Absolutely senseless.

DVO glad to hear youre okay. When I first heard I immediately thought of your post and felt concerned. The cell issues were brilliant I believe as it may have screwed the terrorists from setting off the other bombs.

So tilted I barely missed out on talking with/networking with the head writer of Saturday Night Live tonight. He did a secret headlining gig at a tiny comedy place in Boston, where my friend was also on the bill. I tried to talk a couple of my sketch team members into coming with me to introduce us as a group, they said it's all you, by the time I went for it, he was already in a cab and out of there

Dnky,


Drive me home.............,,,,,,.........,,


Bitch?

You did not typo, you were not drunk enough.

Officer dnky was drunker. I left my phone home, or my drunk posts would be flying.

Pffft. I type perfectly even when completely plowed.

It trips my friends out. I talk perfectly coherently, then they look over and I'm stumbling around like crazy just trying to walk a straight line home. But walking and typing almost always holds up really well for me.

I did laugh pretty hard after an absolute blackout night when I looked at my texts the next day and had one exchange with my friend Joe.
Joe: "You guys still at Nick's?"
Me: "2"
Me: "This is [my friend]. What he means is yes we are, come on over."

So there is some point where I do lose all coherence I guess.

Lkj, the man we all should be.

I'm glad you understand.

(It actually gets me in trouble. Good ****ing luck convincing someone "I was hammered when I wrote that and didn't mean to send anything like that" when you type out a whole coherent paragraph.)

Hi guys.

Wally. I thought we'd lost you forever. Welcome back.

Oh, I'm probably not back. Been really busy with work, Army Reserve, and some other things. Haven't really watched wrestling a ton, but I did catch Mania. Left it sorely disappointed.

Also, I've got a bit of an anti-Dan situation going on here, too. Not that she hates wrasslin', but Leafs are in the playoffs, and the Jays are in full swing. Combine all those things and I'm left with little time on my hands.

forget wrestling.

just post in this thread when you get a chance.

drunk wally is a highlight.

Dnky wants your country music insights whenever possible.

Tim Hicks - Stronger Beer.

Good ol' Canadian boy with some good ol' country music right thurrrr.

Also, listening to a lot of Lee Brice, Lady A, Chad Brownlee, and Dallas Smith these days.

Wally has returned (kind of) Yes!

fyp

Wrong. Wally is a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, us Leaf fans are not hated, but loved by all world wide.

Meh.

Lets go rangers.

Remind me to stay away from green beans next time I'm in Indiana

Toad found in can of green beans

Okay, but only because you asked nicely.

That news dude for the toad story was more nauseating than finding a toad in your food would be. Im now imaging that guy as Burdz. It fits pretty well.

ultimate poker launching has definitely changed my WSOP plans from going for 1 event to going for the summer
