What @Dirt thinks of you

[Horton]

Talking to @Dirt on the phone and he thinks I should try to get Geritol to advertise on the site.

[LeonL]

@dirt is wise beyond his years. Oh, maybe that isn't right after all. I've never used Geritol, however it may be in order.

[oldjeep]

We used to take that stuff when I was a kid. Didn't realize they still made it.

[Jody_Seal]

Todays older athlete prefers Boost, Geritol is what your great grand parents indulged in. Boost has many flavors and tastes good and goes well with soft foods!!

[Razorskier1]

I think a supplier of orthopedic braces for knees, shoulders and elbows might be more appropriate . . . or heck, just get a good surgeon to advertise!

[Lovell]

Orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists are good potential advertisers.

 

[Razorskier1]

or perhaps Pfizer -- maker of the little purple pill otherwise known as "the Pfizer riser". The old guy audience here is a pretty easy target for a lot of advertisers.

Advil....

2nd the Advil

[The_MS]

Viagra, Advil and Boost. Official sponsors of the Big Dawg series.

[bigskieridaho]

Rockstar, Advil, and any water balloon maker that keeps my kids occupied on the dock (at least when my 5 year old isn't trying to steal my ski time....Maybe that's ok:)

[Ralph Lee]

All perfect sponsors to grow the sport!

Who buys advil when you can buy ibuprofen?

 

I'm all for advil dumping money into BOS...but I'd tell all of you not to waste your money on the brand name there and buy ibuprofen.

 

How about a sport supplement producer like Optimum Nutrition...or a firm that offers tons of different manufacturers sports supplements like Nutrition Discounters?

 

This site would certainly be ideal for hitting the middle-aged, athletic man demographic.

 

How about chain gyms like Snap Fitness?

@Dirt #$%&* you. Just wait until you get old!

 

And GET OFF MY LAWN!

[ForrestGump]

At our BMX track we signed a local orthopedic surgeons group as title sponsor. There seems to be a need in waterskiing also.

[eleeski]

In my aging pain paranoia fog, I'm sure this thread is all about me. So I retaliate: @Dirt is a skilled trick skier. With a couple trick tournaments he could make MM in tricks too. Ha!

PS @6balls In the old days when Advil still worked for me, I did notice a difference in efficacy between Advil and the generics. Apparently there are enantiomers (chemical mirror images) that work differently. Advil had a more effective balance of the best enantiomer for my body's response. I've heard that the generics fixed that since then. The price difference is small so I feel OK sticking with the brand name that at one time worked better for me.

 

With this kind of thread drift, maybe @Dirt is right about sponsor categories.

[bishop8950]

@eleeski it's been a been a while since I thought that much about chemistry but your post for me thinking, I did not realize ibuprofen was chiral.

 

There are two enantiomers, not three, as a mirror image dictates - maybe just a typo. I could not quickly find publication on the differences in the ratio brand vs generic but it could easily be. Interestingly it appears that the mix of R and S is converted by your body to mostly S which is somewhat counter to your case that some mixes are better. Another angle could be differences in formulation (types of excipients for example) which can have an impact as well. In any case stick with what works!

[The_MS]

The main problem with @Dirt is that he really hates kids.

[Dirt]

@MS projects his child hatred onto me so people will like him.

[Horton]

This is how children feel about @Dirt

 

[skidawg]

Looks like @horton was a bad dad again

[bigtex2011]

an angry elf

[Not_The_Pug]

That is how we all feel about @dirt
