I took my first computer programming course in 1981 - but since it was BASIC I'm pretty confident that doesn't count.

I'm frequently ahead on various fashion "trends," but first 1%? I'm pretty sure not. And anyway, that has more to do with my diligently sticking to what I like and think looks good rather than any prescience on my part - just about everything with any redeeming qualities is in and out of fashion fairly regularly.

I kinda like Sidd's baldness.

Question, based on the rest of the world's population...how many people would it take to not be in the 1%?

exercise question
 

What about Pabst Blue Ribbon? Same deal?

Ok, the yoga discussion reminded me of a question I have been meaning to ask. I was going to do this anonymously, but what the hey -- I mean, the FB is a warm, welcoming home.

I have apparently reached what paigow (paraphrasing DS, I think) has coined the "ass or face moment" of my life. Yes, I need to exercise.

So, since I am an ignoramous, I want to have someone tell me what to do and when to do it. But I don't want to just place my trust in some random bozo at the local Gold's Gym franchise -- or do I? I could ask around for recommendations, but the few people I know who work out regularly are either jerks or have been doing it long enough that they don't use a trainer anymore.

How does one go about finding a trainer? Is there some sort of licensing or certification one should have? Or should I just head over to Curves and try to get into the spin classes?

exercise question
 

Or paraphrasing Catherine Deneuve -- same difference.

Click on Tools in the toolbar. Click on Internet Options. Click on Clear History. Then click on OK. If you find yourself needing to do this a lot, set up Days in History to be 0.

You probably want to clean out your cache too. Tools-->Internet Options-->Delete Files-->OK-->OK.

Well, now that's an interesting question. For the computer thing, I was sort of assuming "US" was the relevant universe. For clothing, I was sort of assuming it was "people who'd care."

Huh.

exercise question
 

Whoops. (Fact-checking ability, too? You definitely have the editrix skilz.)

Dude, the chicks in those BYO joints probably just graduated from training bras. Cut them some slack.

Reason #56 I don't go to strip clubs.

exercise question
 

Most gym trainers are a bunch of punk ass ne'er do wells that can't fidn something better to do. Be very selective when picking one from a gym. As an anecdote, my neighbor's first wife got addicted to crack with her first trainer. I guess that was a great weight loss program, but at what price? You might try looking into one of htose programs like the Sargeants program that would be much cheaper than joining a gym.

New York Style
 

What was the reason?

If you never change you inevitably find yourself in the 1% from time to time. Its inescapable. You're a hipster.

exercise question
 

You strike me as someone who would care about this, so you might not want to go to Curves. The guy who owns it is a very heavy contributor to Operation Save America (a successor to Operation Rescue). 10 percent of Curves profits go to anti-abortion groups.

Word of mouth is generally how I've vetted personal trainers in the past.

exercise question
 

I believe Curves is also just for women, so that might be a threshold issue why he wouldn't want to go there as well. (unless not Bob is really not Roberta and has been tricking us)

New York Style
 

Ahhh, well played.

But I'm serious. I rarely go to strip joints. Waste of fucking time and money. For bachelor parties, fine. But I have these friends who'll just go to a strip bar for no reason. Why blow the $300 for two hours of frustration? If you get that urge, nail your wife/so/whatever or jerk off.

Now, granted, if I had good looking supermodel style strippers available, I'd reconsider this position, but alas, every joint I've been in serves up the same bad Jenna lookalikes.

What we really need is a strip joint that lets you see normal women strip. My ideal place would be near a grad school in a warm climate, where the owner could have very nice clean place where regular women who needed a few extra bucks could parade around for cash. It'd be really hot to see average women give it a shot. The pros are fucking boring. There's no kick in seeing a chick who can hide half a whiffle bat and has boobs like a cantaloupes riveted to her ribcage shake her money maker.

I thought they were all students (except for the one taking care of her sick father). Was I being lied to?

Over on the PB, we've been discussing road trips for beer. Bilmore used to drive hundreds of miles in the snow, uphill both ways, to get Coors beer. I took road trips to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, to get me some Leinenkugel's.

Darn. I was actually thinking of starting going to the Curves in my neighborhood (I could walk there). But this definitely puts a bad taste in my mouth.

Most strippers and porn stars have the worst breast implants. Pam Anderson's latest set look awful, too. Her old ones were nice.

Just so, I'm the stopped clock.

Can't you just rent Girls Gone Wild?

exercise question
 

Yeah, it was merely a lame attempt at humor. But thanks to RT, if I were Roberta, I would now know to avoid Curves. Unless I wanted my money to go to anti-abortion groups.

It was ONE bald stripper. And what he was supposedly doing wasn't called paragonning, last I heard. So give a guy a break.

Georgia, so my roomate could show me what 'real' fried chicken tasted like.

Which was great, until I had to lie about what my last name was so I wouldn't be 'outed' as an ethnic to inbreds with baseball bats.

For soccer balls, they were lovely. I'm sure yours are nice too, though, Tawny.

New York Style
 

Well, I guess what I meant to say is...

1. I'd like to see average women naked.

2. I'd love to see supermodels naked.

3. I don't want to see ugly or below average women with horrible plastic surgery naked.

exercise question
 

Paraphrasing Catherine Deneuve who said that a woman of a certain age has to choose between her ass and her face. Meaning that a lean woman doesnt have the fat to smooth out the lines in her face. You know how heavier women are less wrinkled?

The only time I have ever paraphrased DS is "classy isnt"/

exercise question
 

Who is that lady?

bunny crap
 

I remember using Mosaic in late 1992 or early 1993. As I recall, TMBG had an internet version of their dial-a-song going back then. It took approximately 3 days to get a song, on the fastest computers my stupid college computer room had to offer.

exercise question
 

What lady?

exercise question
 

Dear Not Bob,

I understood that your reference to going to spin classes at Curves was a joke. I did not even think it was a lame one. I'm sorry the others did not understand.

By the way, as can be seen from earlier discussions, the cult of spin class is totally out, replaced by Bikram yoga for the former spin class-culties I know. The only thing more annoying than listening to a spin class-cultie prattle on about how good spin class is for you is to listen to a former spin class-cultie prattle on about how much better Bikram yoga is for you.

Affectionately,

The Flower

No. I want to see the young mom dragging her kid to day care naked, or the new female associate. I also want to see the 40ish milf in front of me at the coffee shop in the morning.

If I wanted to see what happens when half of a woman's dorm at FSU has access to a tank of nitrous, three kegs of Bud Light and 40 bottles of tequila, I'd have gone there.

You too? Slow down, people. My zipper's getting worn.

I think it is Madonna.

exercise question
 

I've never done the Bikram yoga thing, but from what I've heard, it's kind of gross (the room is really smelly), and it is nauseatingly hot. Maybe it's the combination of the heat and the smell that is so lethal, but I've not heard many endorsements for Bikram. I suppose the people who are really into it might prattle on about it, but I've never encountered such people; although I suppose hanging out in the stinky room might improve my chances of running into one of them.
