After reading that thread...I agree
I only fell in the water once this year, which is a new record. We had a new dude come this year, plus my uncle who came once before but still sucks. My dad decided to put the new guy and my uncle in the same canoe, which imo was unfair. They were both inexperienced, didn't know how to control a canoe even after we explained it, etc. Everyone finished the first leg of the race an hour before them. On the second leg a boy scout leader actually got into their canoe and paddled them to the stop; after that we switched up teams to solve the confusion; they were pissed at each other
We wound up leaving this one guy at the camping ground; he said he "had a bad feeling" about the river and decided not to come, despite the fact that he's a great canoe-ist and could have helped my uncle and the new guy finish the race easily. Once we got back we started cooking our dinner - steak, salmon, veggies, and baked beans. Everyone who actually participated in the race ate first, and in the end all the salmon was gone before the lazy mofo could get it. Now this dude is about 350 pounds if not more, but he exploded, almost in tears yelling at people for not saving him some salmon. Probably the most pathetic thing I've witnessed this year.
To make matters worse this guy has the worst persecution complex I've ever seen. I've known him all my life (he's one of my dad's best friends) and all he fucking does is complain about white people. Now we're up north surrounded by a bunch of white people and he's talking (moderately loudly) about race injustice, how most white people treat blacks shitty when they're competing for jobs, etc. Dude is bitter as fuck. Anything and everything could suddenly turn into a race debate. I'll call him Derek
Baseball: I don't watch it, but I listen to enough sports radio to know how the Tigers are doing. One of our pitchers, Dontrelle Willis, just got diagnosed with anxiety and won't be back to the team anytime soon. So folks are talking about this incident when Derek starts complaining about how the Tigers are responsible for this because they constantly threatened to send him back down to the minors, how the white pitchers never were threatened that way when they sucked, etc etc. I'd just be sitting there looking at him in utter amazement.
