My Dad ran the Boston marathon a few years ago in his late 50’s. He called me and said, “I ran the marathon today”. I asked him if he won and when he said “No, of course not”, I hung up on him.

Crackers are used for shrimp cocktails.
Crackers are use for Mexican tuna salad

Cocktail shrimp on crackers?! What kind of cocktail shrimp are you eating? I've never heard of such a thing!

We were all winners that day.

The longer the distance the higher my finish tends to be...I've won no wins but I have several top 5 in the 200+ milers.

Marathon im mid pack at Best...I won my age group in a local 5k once when I was like 40

My best result was 9th overall in local 5K. 19:54 PB. Top 5 is insane. Congratulations dude.

To be fair 200 milers have fewer people but yes Im proud of it. This one in a couple of weeks I think has ...hold on I'm going to look ...30 people in it

What, in your opinion, is the most useless animal on the face of the earth?

that's extremely difficult because doesn't this come down to like... the ecosystem?

I don't like mosquitos... but they feed bats
could bats find other food?
if they could, my vote would be mosquitos

but wait... they are an insect and you said animal

I think I'm getting an F

Insects are animals! They’re not mammals, but they are animals. No F for you!

Have you met my dog? I love him and he’s sweet AF but damn that dog just lays around all day reading novels.

Well if you're trying to be serious and scientific then yes they're all "useful"


But like what do YOU think?
Ticks?
Aardvarks?

Okay, super late to the game here but it's been a day and I'm finally all caught up...

Tell me (one, both, neither - you pick!)

• What is the most important thing in a relationship? (but make it silly!!)
• Do you have an embarrassing kissing moment?

Most important things in a relationship:
- Quoting my favorite movies either before the line comes while watching said movies, or inserting them into everyday, casual conversations or in razzing/flirtatious context with precise, perfect timing.
- Load the dishwasher the right way. Just do it. Don't ask questions. Just do it right.
- Please have the same enthusiastic, perhaps even a little over the top, slightly sexual in nature sounding, reactions to delicious food as we are enjoying a great meal together.
- Must put sauerkraut and raw onions at a minimum, on her brat.
- She should have the same appreciation for bluegrass, jambands and my musical tastes in general, as I do and also pick the song I want to hear next without having to tell her.
- Oh and one last thing, it'd be nice if she could also out hunt me and have a greater passion for it than I do...nothing would be more of a turn on.

These are perfectly legitimate requests. Please and thank you.

Embarrassing kissing moment....let's see
A girl I grew up crushing over year after year at summer vacation definitely deflected my kiss when I went for it. I had just finished confessing to her how I felt, the moment simmered for a minute, I went for it and she dropped her head down and I landed my lips on her forehead....yeeeeeah, definitely felt defeated and embarrassed after that one

An ex-boyfriend comes to mind

I took out the trash for him each week

Question: If you were a meal, what would you be and why?

Grilled Venison Tenderloin with a fresh herb slather smothered in caramelized onions and perfectly seared mushrooms. For the starch? Roasted garlic mashed potatoes, or mushroom and roasted garlic risotto. And the veg? Perfectly roasted broccoli and cauliflower with a balsamic glaze drizzle and a fresh parmesan garnish or, grilled asparagus with the same balsamic glaze and parmesan. And for dessert? Madagascar vanilla bean cheesecake with a raspberry coulis. All paired with a bottle of the best smooth tanin Cabernet Sauvignon you've ever had.

Reasoning? Because it's pretty much orgasmic

Hmmmm

The best vanilla bean ice cream coated with warm caramel sauce

I'll let y'all figure out why

Can't answer this because evolution doesn't tend to keep "useless animals" around for very long. All animals serve a purpose within their niche. What may be useless to humans is probably very essential for another species and the ecosystem as a whole.

I'm imagining Madagascan vanilla bean ice cream with the bits still in there drizzled with a nice cascara burnt caramel sauce... Come on. That's just unfair.
