Blame it on Mary Jane.....

It didn't take long. A guy at work (one of those dumb sports fan types) today was talking about Michael Phelps losing at the World Championships: "It was probably because he smokes weed."

:eyes:

1. He lost because he quit, if anything...

He didn't start losing until after he was busted.

[marmar]

2. Es la verdad.....

Light 'em if ya got 'em. :smoke:

[Fumesucker]

3. I am soooooo tempted to say something that is guaranteed to start a flamewar..

But I'm going to bite my tongue..

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. You agree with the dumbass sports fan?

[Fumesucker]

7. I *said* I was biting my tongue..

And it's staying firmly locked between my teeth.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Implying that you agreed with that mental reject.

[Fumesucker]

14. If that is what you wish to think I can't stop you..

And who is the mental reject here is entirely a matter of opinion.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. Yeah, but I couldn't care less about the opinions of such mental rejects.

To quote Ebert on fans of the Transformers sequel, there's a point were an opinion strays off into error of fact.

5. Yes, yesss the evil weed...

Think nothing about the fact that the suit the winner was wearing will be banned from future competition because it is seen as an illegal enhancement. Think nothing of the winner himself attributing the win to the suit. It was because a picture, several months ago showed Phelps with a bong at a party and he admitted to smoking pot. Never mind that he is the most decorated swimmer ever. That he cannot win every race is a testament to how destructive pot is...:sarcasm:

Your work mate is a tool.

6. Where does your co worker think Phelps got his massive lung capacity?

[Fumesucker]

8. DUZY.. +1 n/t

[CrownPrinceBandar]

9. So how does that guy explain Phelps' setting the WR.......

in the 200m butterfly just one day later?

[zbdent]

10. your friend at work better apologize ... Mary Jane's got some vicious connections ...

[Riley18]

11. Phelps came in 2 seconds behind a German wearing a special suit.

Almost sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. Anyway, I think they said that type of suit will not be allowed next year.

[BuyingThyme]

12. Maybe.

Or maybe it was all the fast-food endorsements.
