The Dude Abides

My friend Sam, recently arrived in this country, brings news from home.

  1. inflexible requiring perpetuate ineffectively unstructured?proviso scoundrel cairn

  2. Timothy says:

    That is a veritable manmountain. Goddamn.

  3. Stan says:

    1st = about 6.6 kilos IIRC.

    30 stone = 30*14lb, or 420 pounds.

    Watching professional darts matches is a very odd way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Amusing since it’s the only godforsaken sport that the state-owned BBC can afford since (Murdoch-owned) SkyTV took over anything even remotely watchable. Oddly, the darts players appear to have attractive wives and no shortage of hot supporters.

    One wonders what William “Fatty” Foulke would make of it all.

  4. Melissa says:

    That’s right. We all know those across the way have a difficult time with reality.

    30stone must be the Hobbit weight given this man at Hogwarts Academy.

  5. Olly says:

    Real units? Ha! If that’s your attitude, then bollocks to you.

  6. Sho says:

    14 lbs. That’s a man-mountain alright.

  7. Timothy says:

    I mean in real units like kilograms or pounds.

  8. Melissa says:

    um…..30? Stones? I’m guessing?

  9. Timothy says:

    30stone is how much now?

  10. Stan says:

    Please don’t besmirch the fine name of “The Viking”. That the 30stone man-mountain manages to become a world sports champion brings a small tear to my eye.

  11. Danimal says:

    Irrelevant anecdote:

    My history teacher in England had chronic gout. Walked with a cane all the time. I have a picture of him in the teacher’s lounge holding a bottle of scotch in one hand and a six pack of bitter in the other.

  12. Timothy says:

    The beer and the weight problem are going to give the man gout, we’ll see how well his dart throwin’ goes then.
