    I used to think rowers were faggots. Then I got on a rowing machine several years ago and almost died after 20 minutes of what would be moderate to low exertion for a serious rower. Now I just think they are mildly gay, as opposed to full on power bottoms. I wil never get on a rowing machine again. I think I still hurt.

    I used to think the same thing about naval aviators and then I realized that landing a jet on a carrier going 30 knts and big ocean swells is really hard. Glad we're building some mutual respect here.

    The first time I did a night landing I shit myself a little bit. Not sure if scared or loose butthole.

    I look really handsome when dropping flares. You'll have to trust me on this one.

    No one cares about college rowing but like Donald Trump Jr., I rowed in college. (He was on the team at Penn for 1 year.) The standard by which rowers are judged is 2000 meters on the Concept 2 ergometer. The slowest guy on our team went 6:48. He was 5'10", 171lbs and iron deficient. Still, that score is butt. Donald Trump Jr., at 6'1" 190lbs., pulled a 7:02. Fuck this weak-chinned Patrick Bateman and his easily disproven lies. Penn kept him around because his dad promised to buy a boat. (Note: He never bought a boat.)

    Wow, that is a shit score. You have to have a huge gina to pull a time like that. For perspective: most guys on elite college crews need to be below 6:10 and below 6:00 to be National Team worthy.

    To put this in perspective, I happen to know the erg time of one of the D3 rowers (purely by happenstance, and not because of any relation). This smart-ish, 5'10" 100 and something lb. sophomore pulls a 7:10, and is trying to get that down under 7 this summer.

    So, basically, what we're saying here (seriously) is that Donnie would have had to seriously exert himself to make the Wellesley Women's Division 3 1V, and would have had a difficult time making an elite Division 1 women's boat.

    Nail on the head Creepy Coug. I pulled 6:06 in college so almost a minute faster than that sissy boy.
