Ever Feel Like a Thread Killer? (5)

holy hell, one of my idols just walked through the front door. older guy, around 55 years of age, built like a brick shit house (probably has one of the best physiques in the gym) who i haven’t seen in months. turns out he had a massive 100% blockage heart attack.

I asked him why I hadn’t seen him for such a long time and he says, “Well, I’m sure you saw it in the paper. I died.”

hol-ee shit.

I wanna see your jammies.

Did you tell him he looked pretty good for a dead guy?

dammit Grneyes that’s good. I should have said that.

That’s fucking nuts!


Hai guys, I’m back! Not enough kitty pics lately…

I am here to save the day.

That is pretty much what I’m looking for these days. I have a good groove going before I got sick, and here we are months later and I still lost it.

Thanks man, what did you used to run?

about 1/3 of my billable hours are to a VC. They aren’t typical and I’ve never worked for them in the sense that you mean, but can hopefully shed some light on your situation.

Whats up?

I’ve been getting giant red exclamation points in place of the riverboat, the super-duper-duper mutants & some of the time when transitioning certain map grids, it’s been crashing to the desktop.

Sniper class wins for me. In the last 4 or so levels, unless I’m entering through a door, I don’t think a baddie has gotten within 200 yards of me. (And that’s what VATS & a Combat Shotgun are for.)

I’ve worked for start up biotechs, but never a VC. I have a ‘too good to be true’ opportunity for a position at one, and wanted to know a bit more about what they are like. The VC’s I’ve seen at the startups were not you typical Bain Capital, they were more tee shirts and jeans guys.

So, I can make Fan-Fucking-tastic crepes, french toast, roti, bannock, bagels or reasonable croissants, excellent omelettes, bennies or frittatas. I confess that a shortcoming I have is I seem to be incapable of crafting proper pancakes!
Today I wanted nothing fancy, just 2 or 3 or 4 pre-deadlift, lumberjack style buttermilk pancakes. (with whatever pig meat & chicken excreta were available.)

We headed over to the local greasy-spoon brunch counter. Sold OUT! NO GAHDDAMNED PANCAKES! WTF?!?! I mean just mix me up 4 or 5 manhole-sized flapjacks, with butter & maybe syrup & I’d be happy.

I sucked it up like a good little princess & held any sarcasm or cynicism in, but I was not dee-lited with my effing waffle. :'{

I royally screwed up this evening’s DL session. during my warm up sets I realized that I DL almost exclusively with my ass, (like a RDL - with some lat involvement)
I wondered if that made me a Power Bottom. I had to re-set for the lift & also thought “Don’t think I’m a power bottom, don’t think about power bottoms”. I then had to walk around a bit, cause I also didn’t want to associate “getting tight” with buttsecks.

I think I’m either still a bit sick, or are still run-down from hockey. I knew about constricted vision during ‘heavy’ lifts. I didn’t know about tunnel hearing. On set 7 or 8 I stood up with the BB & Ice-T slowed down to like 3/4 speed.

Whoever was in the gym before me put a couple of 10s then 45’s on the bar, & I was too lazy to off-load them first. as I was finishing putting all of the weight back onto the tree, one of the guys in our building came in & joked that I “should be using more than 65.” I didn’t say anything, just gestured to the log book. He looked, & I got a “well, Ooo-kay then.”

Time for steak, sweet potato, & stir fry now.

That’s how I roll. (oh yeah, I can also make cinnamon rolls, just not good pancakes)

I never experienced tunnel vision when lifting until Friday evening. I had sushi and shrimp lo-mien for dinner, let it digest for an hour, then headed for the gym. Warmed up with glute bridges and pull thrus, then started to pour sweat. For the first time in almost 2 months I decided to deadlift; no pain, hip and back felt great.

Followed this with 5 sets of triple drop set cable rows, superset with drop sets of prone leg curls. About 2 sets in the tunnel vision starts, set 3 brings partial color blindness, set 4 I only see black, white and red, set 5 I can only see black and white and burped up a shit ton of sushi and wasabi. Had to lay on the leg curl machine for 10 mins to catch my breath and stop dry heaving.

I think I scared a mom and daughter walking by shitless when just let 365 drop from full lockout.

GTFO

This site is so right:

Trav, are you a fan of the pickle with more fans than Nickleback on FB? I am.

If I was on FB I DEFINITELY would. They’re pretty much the worst thing about Canada.

THIS, however is pretty much the best thing about Canada

(if you meet people like this on public transit ever, you probably shouldn’t ask them how much for a shoe shine.)

This place is turning into a creeper fest.
