Happy PFestivus! I've got a lot of problems with you people.

[RevolverRob]

I stopped emotionally maturing in about eighth grade, so when I hang out with the high school kids it's like I am cool. One of them might even give me a cigarette.

I'm gonna be honest, I never thought you were a dick - UNTIL I learned you have bad astigmatism (like I do). That's when I realized you're an asshole. Why? Because I couldn't keep blaming my shit shooting on being nearsighted. "It's not my fault! I can't even see the front sight with my glasses off!"

Don't worry, I got your back on the astigmatism excuse. Gabe is lying about his.......typical gamer...

2 of my professors were ultra-marathoners.

Whatever they were, it certainly wasn't human.

"Any fool can run a marathon, but it takes a special kind of fool to run an ultra."

Of all the sports I've done, ultras are my favorite.

I ran a half marathon in full patrol gear. It sucked but I could probably do a full one if i had a dew days to relax after.

One year when I did MCM I passed a few firefighters mid-way through the race in full gear, including an oxygen tank on their back. And it was one of the hot years. I was cooked at the end, but I was only wearing shorts and a singlet. Can't imagine what those guys were feeling.

Darryl's powers of detection are apparent. Rob, that's not quite right, I only have slight astigmatism but pretty massive nearsightedness. Not sure how that compares to you.

Now let's do the list. I am:

Weak
Cowardly
Asshole
Dick
Liar
Gamer
As emotionally mature as an eighth grader

Sounds about right!

Well... everyone stopped screaming, so I guess this purge thing actually works.

I lurk much and post little. I've read some threads where posts seem reasonably polite and then suddenly out of nowhere, some one is suddenly feeling insulted. I re-read the posts, and I still just don't get it. I didn't see anything to presage such a response, and the whole exchange leaves me scratching my head. A wise friend of mind once said, "Just last week something was bothering me, and you know what? I got over it." I think about this all the time, as the concept is relevant to many settings.

Thanks to everyone for the excellent content. I learn a lot here.

Sounds like my grandmother. "Get over it or die mad."
