We stayed at a resort this weekend with a huge pool with grotto and slide. The first day we're there I see two gentlemen with downs arrive at the pool like they own the entire place. First guy must have had a 60 inch waist, but he gave no fucks. He was like perfectly round. Next thing I know there's a HUGE splash; I look up and it's that guy coming off the slide. All of a sudden he erupts out of the water and yells, "YES!!!!!!" with his arms out as wide as possible. Reminded me of this: The other guy was wearing a shirt but he looked like god damn Schwarzenegger in his prime. No joke, this guy was yoked up. When it was his turn to slide, he hit the water, stood up, and fist pumped. They were so awesome. I literally ignored my kid to watch them because I couldn't take my eyes off them.
FOX 13 News - Tampa Bay "Amazing! No obstacles have kept Steve Gassert from achieving his goals. The 16-year-old, who has Down syndrome, is also a champion powerlifter, holding more than 30 records in the sport."
God the power is real. I'm rooting for this kid. Although he really needs to set his shoulders before the pull or he's gonna fuck himself up.
as if they already couldn't deadlift you for a clean set of 10, they have now discovered weightlifting.
That was powerlifting in which the deadlift is one of the events. Weightlifting is an entire different sport
The new progressive tmb in all its true, enlightened glory. Don’t dare say nog on here anymore, but retards are always fair game. Hey, someone gave my kid a book about disabled kids at school; that’s fucking gold, Jerry!
I had totally forgotten about it until you liked that post. It really was incredible to see. They were both so damn smug.
Based on the cover... nothing. Just reminded me of this thread and TMB’s glory days. Thought I would bump the thread as it has helped me through many mundane work days in the past. I prefer to not just take from the board but to actively contribute. Stop being sensitive and get out of here with that next level faggotry.
A low functioning student that I have has a goal of treadmill for 30 minutes at 1.5 mph I will always ask him if he needs to go to the bathroom The answer is exclusively no Two minutes into our treadmill escapade, he persistently diarrheas himself volcano eruption style Never fails
I am convinced he does it to get out of physical exercise We'll attempt to go to the bathroom an hour ahead, still shits himself His response is to laugh
the story where the dude subs in yellow construction paper for cheese in a kid's sandwich still kills me
Relatively speaking, I’m significantly anti-PC, anti-SJW, etc., but pump the brakes on the nonsense that folks disapproving of the use of the word “nog” is somehow a bad thing. Odds are you’re not a nice person if you think posters ought to use that word (unless, of course, it’s preceded by the word “egg”).
I never approved of saying nog or nigga or all the dumb racist shit people used to say on here. It’s just lame to see a thread like this here or anywhere else. It’s especially lame with the recent wave of conspicuously wannabe bleeding hearts that have pervaded the board in recent years. You’re making fun of people born with disabilities through no fault of their own. It’s pathetic.
What’s funny about people with disabilities? People who go through life getting shit on and made fun of are apparently here for your amusement. Give us some insight, Mr. I Still Call People Faggot on the Internet Guy.
Am I the only one who took the book post as a positive? I want my kid reading stuff like that so at a young age she can understand that kids with down are really no different and they can be your friends even if they seem different. Same reason I bought her the Bundo book, and have several books starring minority characters and same reason she has a bunch of minority dolls.... Getting pissy over that post seems way misguided.
yes. I have a friend who is black and has mild down syndrome. poor guy got a raw deal in life. had to have a heart transplant about 18 months ago. He stays positive though.
