Surely, he must be doped...

[Hugh Januss]

Amazing. I thought he was being brilliantly sarcastic, or imitating Bruyneel or someone. But no, he's really missed the point that badly.

Yeah, guess I gave him way too much credit.

 

[Hugh Januss]

It really took 10 posts till Santa-Lance was in.

Come on people. You can do better.

Actually, pretty sure it was strongly implied around about post #1, genius.

 

[Semper Fidelis]

The answer is simple: Santa has a Clause in his contract that allows him to ride all over the world, without a valid passport.

Your Clause was obvious. But mine was just a mistake made over and over again in my post upthread! LMAO at myself!

must have been the miracle part.

Does anyone know when Blitzen' tell all book comes out? I know he indulged in a little magic dust here and there during his career, but I know he just want's to come clean.

Of course the lame stream media and all the red trouser sniffing Santa fanboys will ignore it.

Pretty sure it was Dasher that has all the real scoop about the magic dust. Ever since Santa put him on his ignore list he has been spotted in some remote alpine village behind a car wash.

I think the magic dust may have been a little stronger than SC originally thought.

yeah, santa's doped.

I realized santa is doped up only after having sat on his lap for a while last year.
it's not normal to have boner at his age.

Sure he lives there in December. But where does he spend the off-season? And with whom? Doing what?
Susan

is that Andy under the beard & specs?

 

[nicholas]

He's the most tested and questioned Legend in the world, but just has more dedication and training than the tooth fairy, easter bunny, and bogey man combined.


Wait a minute! That's not what I heard!

As far as I can tell, these three characters do just as much training and have as much dedication as Santa.

The tooth fairy keeps super fit by eating lots and lots of beef, the easter bunny and the bogey man walk their dogs birillo and piti, lots and lots

Is this Scott SoCal on his way home from his seasonal job as Bevmo Santa?

 

[nicholas]

The big island in Hawaii with Carmichael I assume

Aloha!

It must be nice training there

Well he said that he was in Mexico this summer, but Krebs didn't see him there and there were rumours of a Santa in black kit in some pretty strange locations...

I found these quotes in a debunked science rag. They reveal that we are dealing with far more than a fit and focused athlete. We are dealing with a fit and focused genetic phenomenon:

An additional factor in Santa's improvement over the years is that he has learned how to reduce his body weight and body fat by 10 pounds (5 kg) prior to each of his Christmas Eve sorties. Therefore, over all his power per kg of body weight has increased a 18% while driving reindeer through the steep mountains in France. Santa is indeed a phenomenon.

There is no doubt that Santa now possesses a big and strong heart that can beat over 200 times a minute at maximum and thus pump a exceptionally large volume of blood and oxygen to his legs. There are probably 100 other men on earth who have comparable abilities

Santa also possesses the 'drive' and 'mental toughness' needed to train very, very hard. Furthermore, he is intelligent and semi-scientific in his training making sure to focus on 'specificity', especially for a whirlwind trip to nearly every residence on Earth on Christmas Eve.

 

[Martin318is]

Actually, I did a quick "wikipedia" check, and he is an amalgamation of multiple characters (Sinterklaas, Father Christmas, St Nikolaus, Odin,...).

Most of Santa's roots seem to come from central Europe (Pre-Christian Germanic peoples, Dutch, Scandanavian, Nordic).


And of course, none of these people dope.

He is intentionally vague about his nationality - it allows him to move easily between federations to avoid any bothersome testing "Sorry, I'm not German, I'm Finnish"..."Sorry I'm not Dutch, I'm German", etc...

Yo, that video made me curse out loud in front of my kids!!!...

Dont know about the rest of you but i heard he likes his coke Maybe thats why he wont allow his hair to be tested.

 

[sublimit]

The Tour of Lapland here we come, the 4 th GT.

Rudolph will be looking to pick up valuable world tour points, more points= more elves available for next years world cross country Sleighing championships.

Santa is overseeing the operation from a mountain cabin somewhere in Switzerland after being refused entry to Lapland due to certain indiscretions and the fact that interpol were on his case.

[Dr. Maserati]

It seems there are financial considerations to look at too.

Santa Claus to step down, markets respond positively.

The big question is will they be able to go retain their World Tour licence.

 

[krebs303]

He was here at one time under the pseudonym Pancho Navidad. But has not been here since last December
