Wrong sport, but definitely worth emulating.

Quote:
The supercentenarian, who has been making headlines for her old age and infinite wisdom since her 105th birthday, had previously told ABC that she cheats death by downing three bottles of Miller High Life and a glass of whiskey every day.

The daily diet of booze started about 70 years ago when a doctor told Fenton her only serious health problem was a benign tumor, the news station reported.

He gave her one piece of advice before sending her home: "He said, 'Agnes, you must drink three Miller High Lifes a day.'"

Fenton dutifully and happily adhered — even throwing in some Johnnie Walker Blue Label into the mix — for decades.

But her caregivers recently nixed alcohol from the daily routine since she eats less now, according to The Record.



Now that is some bullshit. If she dies soon they should charge her caregivers with murder. Caregivers indeed, fun takers more like it. Low life fuddy duddies.

This checks out. We should send them an invite.

Runners in general tend live longer than most other athletes, beer or no. The oldest marathoner today is 105, I believe.

Beer relay runs are fun, and they do seem to diminish with the hangover (at least for me).

Any website that blocks me from using any sort of adblocker is dead to me.

I feel the same way when I go into a store and they have the NERVE to ask me to pay for items before leaving.

I dont think you get it. I would never pay to enter a store and consume content im not interested in. IMHO, Runners World (originally a magazine publication that i used to subscribe to) should have their online readers subscribe to help pay for content, and not rely on pop-up ads to generate revenue. But what do I know about owning a website, journalism, and reputable publications, right?

The Seattle Times will let you read one article for free per day, and then kindly asks you to subscribe. I honestly have no problem paying to read web content, especially for the New York Times; their news articles are dope, which is why i subscribe.

I just loathe pop-up ads and do whatever I can to avoid websites that have them. But, ya know, I'll make sure to get off your lawn.

None of this would be a problem if everyone would consume the Internet in the same exact way and at the same exact time as I.
