I once thought I had mono for an entire year. It turned out I was just really bored.

my girlfriend is a bi-athlete.

but she plays soccer and sleeps with girls...

i think i can talk her into skiing with a rifle strapped to her back, however. for sexy role play.

hawt...

americans sucks in biathlon

[TheDoughcrayon]

Actually this is quite hard. After your adrenaline and heart rate is going crazy from the first event, you immediately have to focus and and calm your body. And to everyone saying she's fat - I'd like to see your picture and see you do as well as she does.

I went to highschool with her and I'm pumped to see her success since then!! She is not overweight...and who cares where she places!? Stop being so critical and celebrate the positives! Way to go Laura!!

@bus114 Idiotic comment.

[spacedooky42]

Believe it or not, this originated from the Norwegian Military. In 1861, no less. So it's not a hillbilly redneck sport at all.

[spacedooky42]

It's not nearly as silly as curling. Come on - this stuff is hard. Try it for yourself.

cute

but how can a BI-athlete get MONO??

[TheRazboynick]

Let`s make it clear. She is overweight but that's because she is not top biathlete. I`ve been watching Biathlon World Cup races for 4 years and I never saw this girl getting as high as top 40. Look what shape the top biathletes are in. Germans, Russians, Norwegians, French and are perfectly slim! These define the world biathlon, Americans are retards in this respect. Hope they will be better. The first token is Tim Burke, thanX to his relationship with Henkel (German 2 times Olympic champ.)
