They Who Shall Not be Named! (Page 55)

Spokes--you really, really, really have that Michael J Fox thing going for you, except that the DELECTABLE musculature recommends you MUCH more highly to the female species.

It is possible I could pull myself off Hector's legs and Donto's torso to drape myself onto you from time to time ...

Too funny there Triaya! 

Not at all, Donto. I take beautiful men very seriously.

Actually, I take men who train seriously very seriously. All of you (and all of us women) on this thread deserve this delightful reinforcement!!!

Ahhhem!  don't forget about me ;-)

Wow, the beautiful men in the group have been busy!

I love the way you guys keep on giving to the women of the team - awesome!

Heaven, I'm in heaven............................

Oh Beth! I'm so sorry! Of course I will also drape myself onto you from time to time Now those ARE some very yummy toes and calves!

Seriously, the Challenge game has sure changed these days!    With Lyssa, Cat, Dee, Beth, and Yanti posting more than 50% of the (thousand daily) messages in all threads combined, and nearly-naked photos of people showing up in mostly ONE thread, everyone's flocking there, or asking for the same hot pix to be reposted in other threads.  Is anyone actually checking up on teammates or talking about triathlon training (in fact, does anyone want to any more?)?   And are y'all actually spending 5 or 6 hours a day online?  AAK!

Don't get me wrong, I really love the chatter, obviously, I'm here reading it, but I feel bad that I can't check up on friends' training schedules via one team thread any more!  Maybe Challenge needs a Wednesdaily (and a Thursdaily etc) thread so that we all can post hot sexy pix for everyone to see more easily, and to consolidate some of the convo.  Or maybe just a formal "who can post most" or "who has the hottest pix" Challenge (no, I am NOT going to organize it ... I think Beth may be best for those.    ).

LOL - we'll also have to workout that sharing system

let's see, we have

Hector, Sal, Spokes, and Donto - we should be able to work out some sort of an arrangement ;-)

Dang, I think we got spanked! Then again, it is Gail's job (at least in the Corps #8) to make sure everyone's included and in line ...

Strangely enough, we do post about training from time to time ... and most of the folks on the "party" threads requested to be in LIVELY threads. Although given the volume (esp. in this thread!!!) maybe next challenge there also needs to be the option for "chatty" team, and then one for "way beyond chatty whackadoodle" team.

Who says we don't talk about training....

You know, I'm talking more than ever this month, but I'm also working harder than ever.  I feel like it's a month to work hard, play hard and have a little fun. (and oogle guys) I love being in a challenge this month where I don't have to worry about letting my team down.  I'm accountable for myself, but I have this AWESOME team support (and pictures)   So what I spend 6 hours on the computer?  I'm sitting at my desk pretending to work anyway. May as well have a little fun!

No, No spanking ... just curious how/why this happened and wondering if there's a more sensible place for it than in the Challenges.  Maybe the answer is no -- I'm just wondering.

As for Floyd, met him recently and found him very very nice.

I felt spanked also but I'm a salty sailor and I ignore what doesn't work for me. Let me say this much also, this is our thread, our team thread and I'm extremely glad to be a part of it. I've only been here a couple of months and it is through the team challenges that I have come to meet new people and have been given extreme amounts of guidance. For a new individual to be helped so much and aimed in the right direction means a whole lot in my book. I make it a point to check on all the members logs and try to give inspires as so many have done for me. As a matter of fact I am unhappy if I miss a workout because I feel I am letting my self down as well as my team. It's through this forum that drives me to excell in my workouts even more. I have not been as commited as i am now and I know that BT involvement has played a major part of that.

Yes this is one crazy thread and we knew it would be from the get go. I for one trully enjoy it and that is why so many join in on the fun because it makes so many of us feel good. We make each other feel good here, we uplift and yes we definately motivate each other. Maybe that's why this thread has become so popular and dynamic. I personnaly thank our captain (beth) and our organizer (Dee) for creating such a great environment. Because of them it has becomes everyone team thread, way to go ladies!

Go team!

Actually, I'm pretty sure I posted a couple times about not Challenging this month, so I don't have any official BT goals.  I just like to check in once in a while, and I have been surprised to see so much interesting convo about so many different topics here on team challenges -- if the topics were posted instead as sep. threads I suspect tons more people would want to participate, but I also understand that people like the team/club/small-group nature of what's going on here. Again, don't get me wrong; I'm not complaining or criticising ... just curious about the nature of human behavior, especially because this new ChattyChallenge thing seems to have just started.

I'm not in the right situation to organize challenges, but I love that you guys continue to do so with such enthusiasm, and that you love to do it.  Keep it up!!!

Hear, hear. I should clarify that Gail has a long history of spanking me in particular because ... I know you guys will be SHOCKED at this ... I have a tendency to go over the top, in training, in running, in running off at the mouth, etc.

Yay, H -- I actually completely agree -- it's become everyone's team thread, that's my point!  Maybe I just should have written, Is there a way for more people to have the same kind of fun without crashing other people's teams (or to make it a little easier/less time consuming for those wonderful girls who are participating in what, 3, 4, 5 team's threads).
