Fashion Board--Penske . . . forever! - Page 245

So I am at the gym this morning and running on a treadmill. It is not the treadmill that I usually use, but there was no one else on any of the treadmills, I came up some different stairs, and hell, all the treadmills are the same.

I put in all my stats, get the program started, fire up the iPod, and start my run.

After about 15 minutes, a guy comes and stands right in front of my treadmill. I do not know him. After a couple of seconds of him looking at me, I reach up and take the earbuds out of my ears. And he says "That's my usual treadmill."

"Oh," I say. I look down at the display and say "I'll be finished in about 15 minutes."

He repeats that it is his usual treadmill. I look around, note at least a dozen unused treadmill, and shrug my shoulders. I then replace my earbuds.

Did this asshole really think I was going to just stop in the middle of my workout so that he could have "his usual treadmill"?

Idiot non-tornado area dwellers.

Okay, in that sense I am a moron. lIke the chick in sbux said, "some dude lived here 20 years and no tornado" it just really doesn't happen here.

Of course he thought so. And the fact that you didn't comply and hit the stop button and clamber off probably stunned his ass.

Why are people so set in their ways? Would he have a freak out if he had to use the one to the left of you?

Did he continue to hover?

You are a moronic idiot.

But your hair is not completely repulsive.

(Hi Burger!)

You know, you can order reprints from the syndicate. I think they'll print them nice enough for framing for you.

I got my brother the collection two years ago for Christmas, and I'm thinking that I may get him a framed copy of the very last strip for a birthday or Christmas this year.

ETA: It is thoroughly awesome that I can find all of the Calvinball strips using the search function.

I never wear stiletto-style heels for this very reason. I'm not exactly overweight, but in those kind of heels, I look like an inverse triangle.

Withering. Retort.

I've been lurking this site for some time now always amused by its entertainment value. I feel compelled to come out of my shell to defend the lovely patentparanyc! TM's physical assessment of her was a bit harsh to say the least. It is only one man's opinion!

I've met her in person and found her to be very attractive with this incredibly sexy voice!! She's a study in contrast with her exotic Asian looks and American upbringing. Her intelligence & wit are engaging, never a dull moment in conversation.

You readers should at least get another man's view before you presume who is right or wrong, or choose sides.

And you are vapid and shallow. But you are not completely unattractive for a festive person.

I didn't read what you were posting, and I thought you might be responding to one of the cover items of September Cosmo -- "'I punched a hole in his thigh with my stiletto!' and other crazy sex accidents." (I paraphrase.) But no.

You're insane.

I wear stiletto heels as often as I can. I've been told they make me look bootylicious.

Are you vapid? Obssessed with consumerism in its basest form? And least important of all, are you the many friends on this board she was speaking of?

"Exotic" Asian looks? Are you from, like, Oklahoma or something?
