In the 80s they used the iconography in the same way that motorcycle gangs did. They could be Nazis for real though, dunno.

This, mostly. They're one of the biggest thrash bands of all time. Basically anyone who's at all into extreme metal has an album or two laying around, so it's not like anyone in a Slayer shirt is fash.

But it's worth noting a lot of motorcycle gangs have historically been varying degrees of Nazi.

sucks to be right
Reminds me of elite Australian ultramarathon competitor Cliff Young who was just some old bloke off the farm whose family was so poor when he was a kid that they couldn't afford horses so he had to muster the stock by running after them in gumboots for decade after decade

quote:

In 1983, now aged 61 years old, Young won the inaugural Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon, a distance of 875 kilometres (544 mi). The race was run between what were then Australia's two largest Westfield shopping centres: Westfield Parramatta in Sydney and Westfield Doncaster in Melbourne. Young arrived to compete in overalls and work boots, without his dentures (later saying that they rattled when he ran). He ran at a slow and loping pace and trailed the pack by a large margin at the end of the first day. While the other competitors stopped to sleep for six hours, Young kept running. He ran continuously for five days, taking the lead during the first night and eventually winning by 10 hours. Before running the race, he had told the press that he had previously run for two to three days straight rounding up sheep in gumboots. He said afterwards that during the race he imagined he was running after sheep trying to outrun a storm. The Westfield run took him five days, fifteen hours and four minutes, almost two days faster than the previous record for any run between Sydney and Melbourne, at an average speed of 6.5 kilometres per hour (4.0 mph). All six competitors who finished the race broke the old record. Upon being awarded the prize of A$10,000 (equivalent to $32,067 in 2018), Young said that he did not know there was a prize and that he felt bad accepting it as each of the other five runners who finished had worked as hard as he did—so he split the money equally between them, keeping none.

Ah, the days of Babe Ruth, when this dude was a top athlete

Dude smoked, drank, ate poorly, and cheated on his wife constantly.

quote:

Harry Hooper, who likened Babe Ruth to a god, also thought the Sultan of Swat had god-awful eating habits. According to Babe Ruth and the 1918 Red Sox, Hooper said, "Lord, he ate too much. When we were traveling, he'd stop and order half a dozen hot dogs and just as many bottles of soda pop, stuff them in one after the other, and then give a few big belches. That would hold him for a couple of hours." And that wasn't the half of it.

quote:

When Babe Ruth wasn't inhaling hot dogs, he was gobbling up cold beef. While visiting manager Jack Barry, he insisted on devouring raw hamburgers. The Boston Post reported that according to Ruth's wife, almost every day, he ate "two-and-a-half pounds of rare beef steak" with a whole bottle of chili sauce. Having an audience only egged him on, writes Marshall Smelser in The Life that Ruth Built. During a six-hour outing in New York, Ruth had two massive dinners with two gigantic snacks in between. Each dinner consisted of two porterhouse steaks, a double-order of cottage-fried potatoes, two heads of lettuce, and two apple pies a la mode. Both "snacks" were made up of four hot dogs and four bottles of Coca-Cola.

Don't get me wrong, he was actually a star athlete. It's just impressive that he could do it while eating and acting like your old drunken unemployed uncle.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.


So whilst we are doing bad-arse runners. Let me tell you the tale of John Steven Akhwari from Tanzania.

In the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Marathon, he came stone motherless last. More than an hour after everyone else had finished, they were packing up the course behind him. The sun had gone down and only a few stragglers were left in the stadium to see him finish. And finish he did, with a bandaged leg, an injured shoulder, and in pain from cramps brought on by the altitude, he limped his way across the finish line.

Why? When he was no chance of winning a medal, and indeed, the race had been all but over for more than an hour.

"My country didn't send me 5,000 miles to start this race. They sent me 5,000 to finish the race."
