despite Todd posturing that he is somehow this gifted athlete, I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth
from all accounts based on anecdotes shared to me from several of those unfortunate enough to have witnessed it, Todd brings a whole new meaning to the word (embarrassment) when it comes to anything athletically demanding or requiring any semblance of coordination
but its cool....Todd is really good at 900 numbers and he types pretty fast
wake me up when you can think of a sport you 'excel' at lol
Oh look, Dr. Pockleface and I supposedly have something in common. I was also in cross country and track in high school, and I was one of the better ones on the team. LOL at Martin running sub 5-minute miles, though. This can be filed under "banging beach bunnies in the '80s". While I am now over 220 pounds and nearly 30 years older than my cross country/track days, I'm pretty sure pickled-liver Martin would still get smoked by me if we had a race.
Notice Martin likes talking about "anecdotes" he has supposedly heard about me, yet the only athletic or semi-athletic thing I've ever done was one bowling session with poker people. I had an unusual style but bowled like a 140, which was better than like half the people there. Paled in comparison to some really good bowlers like Macon Marc, but if that's the best you've got, that's pretty pathetic.
Why won't you answer about your inability to hold two cards, or the spitting, or the fear of Hollywood Dave? Because you know these things all happened, and there were several witnesses to all of them?
Question: If you are an EXPERT at pool, why are you ignoring Larry's challenge to play him?
Also, I would love to go up against Pockles in a HR derby, or even play a team sport like soccer or volleyball and let people see which of us is decent and which of us is embarrassingly bad. No way to bet on the latter, but I would do it just for the lulz.
