I don't think that's possible. I'm in my fifth decade on the planet so maybe I've attained grumpy old cynic status. But whether it's in sport, business or just everyday life, the bloke or Sheila who wants to 'win' at everything is always the biggest big pain in the arse. The term 'healthy competition' doesn't really exist.

Yes. You are 100% correct. No doubt somewhere on our twisted planet someone is running the 'Biggest Swinging Dick' competition.
I prefer the unofficial 'i don't have the slightest interest in Pro surfing, how many people can I discuss my lack of interest with' competition.

I will always love pro surfing, since watching JJF at Margs on my wsl app streamed into my tv

Today I bought a Quiksulver Ke11y cap for 5 bucks at vinnies. This was a bit sad, because looks like Kelly is over, and also because I know I will never wear said cap. Ke11y ffs.

Well I just change my mind. I predict Ke11y will get a decent board, get off the purps, school the Brazzos and beat JJF in a nail biter at Pipe to win the title!
We'll see who the loser is then, hey fat boy

I shall be cheering at my phone in my Ke11y hat

Fcuk the WSL. Based on the above, I thought I'd have a look. Couldn't get the stream because I needed to download the latest Adobe flash player. There was a link within the screen I expected the surfing so I clicked, downloaded & installed. Went back to the site only to get the same message. Double fcuk 'em

Subconsciously, he knew that Ke11y was never going to be bettered. It's why he couldn't quite muster the effort to make S12ter happen

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

I don't understand why the men don't wear the same thong-type suits as the women in their heats. So free and easy, the performance levels would just sky-rocket. Not to mention the aesthetics. It defies all logic. Fishy even, very fishy indeed.

went and watched the heat analyzer for the quarters and finals.

pretty dismal fare. Adriano got a 9.57 for a floater and two turns that looked like an early Le-Ba club round.
