If you are at the water fountain at the gym filling your water bottle to the top, while others are waiting to get a quick shot of water, don't be surprised if you find a 55 pound dumbbell wedged up your ass.

Yes. I almost said, "but not my disco mitt, paigow" but opted not to.

Hank, I am not a blonde.

Translation: I'm a pansy runner. I prance on the treadmill for hours on end in my Danny Ainge, (circa 1984) shorts and need lots of water. Please wait while I fill my gallon jug.

Great start to the weekend
 

I was about an hour early for my flight on Friday afternoon, on the phone with balt, when I pulled up to the Hobby long term parking garage. There was an Hummer H2 in front of me, getting his little ticket thingie and waiting for the arm to go up. He pulled up a little, and he banged the top of his car on the sign that said "'7 feet". Manly Hummer Man *pshawed* and kept on driving. I pulled up to get my ticket.

A parking attendant guy came racing towards the ramp, and he asked me if the Hummer had really banged the sign. "Yeah. Is he going to get stuck?" "Oh, yeah." He raced up the ramp on foot, and I followed up the corkscrew just in time to find the Hummer trying to ram its way through a particularly low patch of the parking garage ramp. Manly Hummer Man backed up a little, revved the engine, and forced his way through. Sparks flew. I think this is when he realized that he may have just done something extraordinarily stupid, because he pulled off at the first floor and then just stopped when he saw how low the ceiling for the entire floor was.

At this point, I'm laughing hysterically, I'm explaining what's going on to balt, and I feel the need to follow the guy to see what happens next. If worse comes to worse, I can back up and go up to the next floor. Parking attendant dude is arguing with Manly Hummer Man. Manly Hummer Man has the balls to argue back with parking attendant dude, and I'm just dying laughing. Balt's beginning to worry that I'm going to get stuck behind the Hummer for quite awhile, and that my being an hour early under this particular circumstance isn't early enough. After a few minutes, I'm beginning to agree, and I back up, jump a barrier and go around the Hummer. Parking attendant guy waves me past.

Manly Hummer Man was still stuck by the time I managed to find a place to park (the parking gods were kinder than they've ever been to me in my entire airport parking life), find all the crap floating around my car that I needed to take with me, figure out how to turn three bags into two bags and lock the car.

Manly Hummer Man's Hummer was gone when I left the airport this morning, so I assume that the jaws of life showed up at some point. Or someone let the air out of the tires.

Sounds like someone can't get the 75-pounders up on the incline bench. Don't worry. You'll get there. I can show you how it's done.

I don't run on treadmills. And I don't carry a water bottle.

Admittedly, the shorts are dorky.

I'm sure you wear them well.

Get your Hummer out of the shop yet?

when you run on a private farm, or your exclusive estate, funny clothes are a non-issue. The main thing is to make sure your underwear aren't too loose.

gym eddy cat
 

Thanks, but I'm not sure any man can wear them well.

gym eddy cat
 

No, and I can't get the 75-lb dumbbells up anymore. I sure sounded tough, though.

Tell us more about these small rocks. Rock salt?

gym eddy cat
 

I don't hydrate until after I am done-running through the affects of dehydration makes you tougher.

I do run on treadmills. Sometimes. I crank them to 5:30s and bang away. It drives the joggers crazy.

And I wear speedos. I just go straight from the pool to the T-mill.

You theenk you beeg beeg man with your going to gym. The only reason you can lift 55 pound dumbell is because you carry your mamma's chamberpots to window for dumping every day.

gym eddy cat
 

no, more like pebbles.

I woke up and I was twisted all around in bed, which usually means I have been having hot dreams and I was thinking about pebbles.

gym eddy cat
 

I wouldn't thin grains of salt wound feel good down there, no matter how small.

Do the speedos help you hold the dumbell in place?

The Not Bobette is a Braves fan, so she pointed them out to me on SportsCenter last night (she also started to gloat to me about Pedro losing his no-hitter and the game in the 8th, but I reminded her that she had a request for an allowance raise pending, so she backed down on that very quickly).

Impressive is right -- they almost (ALMOST!) made me overlook the hideous red jerseys that the Braves were wearing. WTF? What is this, 1975 or something? Jesus Christ, they look like something a bunch of over-40 fat guys in a beer league softball team sponsored by Red's Body Shop would wear.

Now imagine one of them in a Speedo running on the treadmill and you slowly realize he's going straight into the pool with the sweaty speedo still on- "shower? dude I'm training for the Iron Man no time to stop."

I cannot say enough how much this "sunday/batting practice/alternative home" jerseys idea must be ended. It is an abomination, no matter what team does it. There simply is no excuse. Wear white at home, grey or a dark color on the road.

The only thing worse (and it may not be worse) is the NFL's version when they go monochromatic, such as the black shirts and pants, or the all-cerulean kits the seahawks sported.

Tell me about it. Sadly, there was a fan vote. Learn this lesson - never leave it up to a fan vote. This is what you'll get. 20 years of silver pants and silver helmets have now been abandonned for monochrome.
What did the guys in the booth say? Oh yeah - "the only problem with Emmitt Smith breaking the rushing record tonight is that we'll have to see those Seahawk uniforms for eternity in highlight films." Great.

That said, they can play in their speedos as long as their winning.

Amen, brother. And the reason there are numbers on the jerseys are so you know who the players are -- if you have numbers, there is no need for a name. I am a bit more flexible on this one, but appreciate seeing this look -- the Cubs just returned to this, I think, with their white home jerseys.

The Yankees, curse them, have it right.
