Nemesis Challenge:It's OK to Finish Next-To-Last, As Long As I Beat HIM/ Its Here!!!!

[Wherem I Now]

As I recall, one of the participants in this nemesis battle actually LIKES IASW. If only I could remember which one...

 

[afwdwfan]

Bambi, we don't want Barry to die. We want him to live a long, happy life. That's why we want him to do this challenge to get healthy.


It has nothing to do with the fact that I will thoroughly enjoy seeing him suffer as he trains to get half marathon ready.

 

[that's nice]

This'll be fun... to sit back on the sidelines and watch all the fun!

You know, there's room for some of you to run too.

Enjoy your popcorn!

Really?

Wow an opportunity to watch a train wreck…
I’ll watch! (I’ll feel bad about myself for doing so… but I’ll watch )

LOL... Hopefully this is more like a fender bender than a train reck.

I may not get to go to the DDC Convention, but following this challenge may be the next best thing. Good luck to both of you and may the best man win!

Come'on Andy... You can talk your DW into letting you go!!!!

Hmmmmmmm,

Team Tim,

or

Team Barry?

What are your colors?

Team Tim is the way to go!

I like manly colors... unlike Barry. He likes pastels.

Bravo! On your training, competition, and thread idea. While I won't be there, I'll cheer on the winner.

Thanks for reading! We'll need your help soon.

Sounds like this will be a fun place to watch the insanity. I'm In.

LINsanity? You a Knicks fan?

Wow. This is one subscription that I'll HAVE to follow along with! Now... which team should I choose... Hmmmmmm

Hey Don!

Get ready for the fun.

 

[MaryAz]

This is going to be epic. I can;t wait to read along. Maybe Kathy and I should make our girls trip at the same time so we can come and cheer

 

[that's nice]

Bravo to the both of you.

Barry, got your back. Consider me Mickey (the trainer not the mouse) to your Rocky. This is going to be fun. For us, not you guys.

Now Barry go out there and chase around some chickens.

Now I see where you stand CJ. Have fun loosing!

This is going to be fun to watch. Do we have to choose sides? Can't we all just get along? Barry's got the Cubs thing working for him, but can I really side with a Packers fan?

I was a half-marathon rookie until January. I can talk you through some of the rookie mistakes you may make. Anyway- good luck to you both!

This is great! We need help from marathoners like you! Are you planning on running in the 2013 marathon?

So we were played.

I think now, I want to be on Team Bambi and Team Melody!

Played? Nooooo. We wouldn't do that.

Oh, I am SO signing on for this PTR!!! But I'll be the lame neutral cheerleader - best of luck to the both of you!!

Hey Sara! Thanks for reading!

Barry, I have that same sweater

This sounds like a great idea and I look forward to months of taunting and ridicule.

I may have to take this as my excuse to join the festivities. Both for my fitness and the opportunity to make it to the DDC.

I'm sure there will be lots of taunting.

The more the merrier! You can join in! We don't bite!

 

[that's nice]

Nice


Well played gentlemen. Oh what team do I pick do I go with the favoured Barry (previous running experience) or the under dog Tim ( doesn't run a lick). I think with some proper training I could throw my support behind Tim ( by support I mean dangling a yuengling in front of him while running).

The underdog is where it's at. Remember the 2011-2012 NY Giants? Superbowl Champs BABY!!!

I swear Carl.... If you hang Yuengling in front of me there is NO WAY I could loose.

It's a trap! Don't fall for it. She beat the @#$% out of me in January. She looks all nice and sweet but there's a vicious DisDad-eating cheetah in there.

It can only be a trap if Admiral Ackbar says so...

If my nemesis is joining team timmy, then I must as a good nemeses join Team Barry!

Howdy Loser!

This whole Team Barry/Team Tim thing vaguely reminds me of that Twilight stuff DW watches, only slightly less embarassing .

UGH. My wife watches it too.

 

[that's nice]

Interesting premise.

I'll poke in every now and then.

Poke in or poke fun at Barry & I killing ourselves?

well my decision has been made. If you read my post I said I wasnt sure who to back,but since Randall jumped the gun and said I was with team Tim then I might as well join team Tim. Sorry Barry but Randall made me do it

Welcome aboard Carl!

(I'll ship you that 12 pack now)

Annnnnnnnnndddddddd he's under the bus once again!

He seems to like it under there.

Chin up Barry, we can take them. Now go eat a dozen raw eggs.

Yea Barry... eat the raw eggs.

I got this weird text message today that says "I have a PTR going and I'm letting you know so you don't get mad." And I thought to myself...he already started his PTR...what the he** is he talking about????I thought maybe it was a mistake and he was really texting me to tell me he had finally mailed my wallet picture of the kids from Christmas (yes, I have not forgotten it, Tim!!!).

So, Mary I think your idea is great...we can jeer...oops, I mean cheer on the boys. And then we could meet Bambi and the kids which I've been wanting to. Oh, and I guess that means I'll meet Tim too.

 

[that's nice]

As the DW of Barry I must ask...

Here we go...

What is the true motivation of Tim? Are you trying to make me a single mother of three by killing off your nemesis? I know I give Barry a hard time but I would kind of like him to stick around for the next few years, at least until the diaper years have passed. What then Madison will be in her tween years and the teen years are right around the corner, he will need to be here for that so I don't go crazy.

I have a record of all the texts... even the ones that I was texting to you.

I also think you picked an interesting year to do this. Barry has a brand new baby coming in a few weeks. He can train until then but he may be slightly sleep deprived for a few months. Oh well, he accepted.

I said in my FIRST text that if it wasn't a good time because of the baby, we could do it another time. He said he was down. That's on him. I'm not trying to kill him. Plus I don't get any sleep either. If you don't believe me, give me your cell # and I'll text you when I'm up with Christopher at 1am, 3am, for 5am bottles, and all the other times I'm up with him throughout the night.

Either way, I get another Disney trip out of this. I don't have to get up early to watch the race, do I?

Nahhh.. sleep in. I wouldn't want to embarrass Barry in front of his wife.

OMG I just totally stumbled apron this PTR. So fun! I will be following along as I strive for the Princess half myself in 2013. There is no better motivation than a Disney race.

HEY there!!!

You here to watch us kill ourselves?

Shhh...I don;t think Barry knows he has to get up early to RUN the race.

Yea, don't tell him.

As I recall, one of the participants in this nemesis battle actually LIKES IASW. If only I could remember which one...

It has nothing to do with the fact that I will thoroughly enjoy seeing him suffer as he trains to get half marathon ready.

Me too!

This is going to be epic. I can;t wait to read along. Maybe Kathy and I should make our girls trip at the same time so we can come and cheer

Hey Mary!!!!

Ohhh... that would be cool. And if I recall, her AP would still be good then!

Well ,well, well. Look who decided to show up.

Errr... about that picture. I guess I should put in in the mail. Now I have to find it again.

So, you don't care about meeting me huh? OK then...

 

[stopher1]

You know, there's room for some of you to run too.

Yes, I suppose that's true. But....

why should I?

I'm happy to support you, and tease, harass and cajole - but run? Seriously?

It's been like 20 years since I did that kind of thing. I think I'm better at throwing people under the bus than running and feeling like I've been crushed by one!








I suppose I could run. But, I'm not sure I want to run.

 

[E3yore]

I have a record of all the texts... even the ones that I was texting to you.

I expected you to tell me in the text messages that you were doing this to get in shape. How else would I approve the trip?

I said in my FIRST text that if it wasn't a good time because of the baby, we could do it another time. He said he was down. That's on him. I'm not trying to kill him. Plus I don't get any sleep either. If you don't believe me, give me your cell # and I'll text you when I'm up with Christopher at 1am, 3am, for 5am bottles, and all the other times I'm up with him throughout the night.

Shoot that's it? I am up that many times and more now and Ryder's not here yet. I'd give you my # but most of the time I don't even know where it is. I certainly won't find it in the middle of the night.

Nahhh.. sleep in. I wouldn't want to embarrass Barry in front of his wife.

If he survives, I'm happy. But we're talking like a noon race right? Barry is the early riser, not me.

 

[stopher1]

Oh and Tim - before you get too much further, I just want to point something out to you, especially considering I am one of your most ardent fans and supporters, and your #2 wing man here... I just don't you embarrassing yourself (or us) any more than necessary. Especially since Barry will be coming back around and posting soon enough, and will most likely capitalize on this, (especially since I'm correcting you in public instead of taking you to the woodshed and doing so on a more quiet basis)... but you have a few spelling errors here that we need to examine.

Now I see where you stand CJ. Have fun loosing! -

Loosing = 1. to free or release from fastening or attachment: a loose end.
2. free from anything that binds or restrains; unfettered: loose cats prowling around in alleyways at night.

You actually mean LOSING or not winning (as in Barry).

I swear Carl.... If you hang Yuengling in front of me there is NO WAY I could loose.

Howdy Looser!

Loose = 1. uncombined, as a chemical element.
2. not bound together: to wear one's hair loose.
3. not put up in a package or other container: loose mushrooms.

Here you actually mean LOSE or LOSER (again, as in Barry). The way you present this, is more along the lines of there is no way that you can oh, I don't know - loosen your pants i.e. after you've had a really, really filling meal, you sit back and open your belt to feel a bit more comfortable.

Well, I'd really love to meet the Princess, Prince and Mel, but you will do in a pinch. Seriously I would love to meet you...you were one of the first real friends I met on the DIS after all.

I don't WANT to run either... but I NEED to run. Or I will be in trouble as I get older.

I expected you to tell me in the text messages that you were doing this to get in shape. How else would I approve the trip?

Why would you care if I got in shape? That isn't a reason for you to goto WDW.

Shoot that's it? I am up that many times and more now and Ryder's not here yet. I'd give you my # but most of the time I don't even know where it is. I certainly won't find it in the middle of the night.

Well you can check in the am and laugh at me for being up all night.

If he survives, I'm happy. But we're talking like a noon race right? Barry is the early riser, not me.

Oh, we only have to be out of the room at like 4am.

I think I've found where I'll be getting my entertainment for the year...

Wow. Looks like I have the grammar police on my team! I know how incorrect grammar irks you. I didn't put my disclaimer in my first post so I'll put it here... I am not a writer.™


You better watch out Barry!!! Don't get on Christopher's bad side!

Well, I'd really love to meet the Princess, Prince and Mel, but you will do in a pinch. Seriously I would love to meet you...you were one of the first real friends I met on the DIS after all.

They might be coming... Then again they might not be.

I think Melody is 90% in. The kids on the other hand have about a 40% chance of coming. After taking Juliana out of school for our November trip I don't think we can take her out for 2 more days in January.

Actually your grammar don't bother me. Just spelling.
