Ok I'll admit...I was a little skeptical of this story...
Til I saw pics of the accident.

Good luck Brian! Hopefully I'll see you in Kona someday. I'd love to do ironman eventually myself! I'll be watching the coverage...hope to see you on tv.

 

Thanks Bill for finding that..My heart just sunk to the floor...


God's speed to whatever you hope to achieve Brian....You're an amazing story about determination and perseverance...and you can write a hell of a blog.

 

No wonder he quoted Alice In Chains, he looks like Lane Staley!!

I did a search for almost an hour and couldn't find anything. I didn't think of MySpace. DOH! I did it more because of curiousity.

I just hope the person that posted this story is really him, and not somebody pretending to be him. I sent him some useful info that I wouldn't want some schmuck to get a hold of .

The scarey thing is that's the car I used to own.

Brian, if you somehow get a H3, PLEASE join our forum. It would be an honor to have you as one of our members. Whatever you do, don't join the E.co.l.va forums, because people over there tend to not be too nice [&o].

Good work finding those web sites Ghostrider. Let's just hope the person posting is really the REAL Brian and not somebody trying to get a H3. It's sad we even have a world today where sceptism overtakes the ability to believe people.

 

Hey guys yeah I really hope its him too!
Google is the greatest tool ever invented. It took a little while but eventually he turned up. You can find a few other tracings of his online activity by searching mixes of "brian boyle" (the quotes are important..it searches the phrase, not just brian& boyle) and combos of triathlon, maryland, swimming..things like that. I also found there is another Brian Boyle in Ireland who is a triathlete.
If you want to validate a little further, Dennis, you could grab the IP he posted with and locate it here

Those arent always 100% correct but if he's using the schools ISP, itll show up...then there can be a little better peace of mind for people willingto splurge internal Hummer connections.

 

umm if a garbage truck hit, you, you would sue the company for millions, and not need a free hummer


i call BS

 

millionaires like free things too...

 

After all .. it IS the American way .. right!? :-)

 

Well to sue the trucking company has a bit more legitimancy than that that screwball judge who tried to sue a family dry cleaners for 54 million over a pair of lost pants...WTF!!!

Absolutely ... I probably would for the sakes of the medical bills .... I'm glad that screwball didn't get anything out of the whole thing .. well, other than publicity I guess .... Just as mucked up as the hot coffee from McDonalds ... I can't recall what she ended up getting but I'm thinking anything above the 99 cents she paid for it would be entirely too much!

 

If I remember correctly, she received $1.X Million
