Sorry this is OT but When you have time could you please tell me how you think Burly would do at synchronized swimming. Thanks.
Easy. Burly's mid-section, of which some posters like to make distasteful remarks, would provide adequate buoyancy. Paired with the power of his calves, you have dolphin-level maneuverability. He makes lesser athletes around him better so synchronization not an issue. Minimum Olympic Silver, likely Gold.

There’s no way Burly could win Wimbledon. On July 4 he’ll be winning the Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest, and even he can’t be on two continents at once.

Come on, guys.

He might actually be better on clay so I’d favor him more at the French Open.

Agreed. He's like a "lefty Rafael Nadal" . . .

Burly could beat Nadal playing blindfolded and in quicksand on his side only.

I see what you did there Bub. Bet he could serve one down the line though, huh? At least you stayed OT.

Serves you right bud. But Burly forgives. Three lashes and five Hail Burlys and try sticking to OP next time.

How many lashes for Gorman and Walker for forcing Burly to stand o. 3rd?
