This explains why I and my entire family live here.

You people need bigger gyms. Or to live in parts of the country where more people are lazy.

But that said, is there any way to make the crippling pain in my legs from the core-body workout class I unwisely jumped into on Wednesday with no warmup go away? I'm dying.

If they are just cramped, take a couple of aspirin, eat a banana or two (for potassium), and drink a bunch of water. And rub your muscles a bit.

If you pulled or strained a muscle, then you are SOL.

Dude, I will never understand all you there-must-be-rules-for-without-rules-there-would-be-anarchy-and-that-is-bad types. Sign up sheets are just one more thing The Man has concocted to bring Sebastian down. Well FUCK THE MAN if he thinks Sebastain is going to stand for that shit. Let him just be and do and live and feel. O.K.? The people who need over-ruled gyms are the same dorks who show up all hyper-prepared for the hearing. They're pathetic dorks and Sebastian is going to blow them out of the water, in court AND on the T-mill, baby!

2. just one question though, did you wonder how Sebastian could see the sign up sheet to check it for accuracy while he was still on the machine? does he have like bionic eyes or something?

flying home a week ago with my wife and 2 kids- we have first class seats. We got to the airport way early because of all the "long lines" scare. approaching security i see they have two lines to approach the ticket/ID check person. 1 for 1st and one for the rest but they both go through the same person. she just is supposed to take the first class people out of turn.

the normal line was short so we just went in it. as we approach the check point some bustling woman comes running up through the first class line. the checker is checking my ticket and tells me there is a special 1st class quick access xray line to the right- THEN she takes the ticket of someone else in my family- it's polite to complete a family- no? Anyone the busy lady says "ummm, i have 1st class" so i tell her so do we, no big deal. we 4 go off to the next line, and busy lady ends up behind my daughter and she's banging stuff around and acting really fucking put out, so I tell K. to let the lady take cuts because she is pretty important, and she tells me again how she has these 1st class tickets. K. told her "gosh what do they look like- these maybe!" and shows off her ticket. i was proud.

the bitch complained to the TSA guy about something- like moving her ass through security quickly is a national security issue? anyway, here's the thing, we grab lunch then go into the Delta club to kill the next 2 hours. Bitch was there- she was there for 2 hours. How can someone be so stupid as to get themselves all jacked up and pissed off when they weren't in any hurry anyway?

Translation: Hank wants everyone to know he flies first class.

To clarify, what I thought was fucked up was your world view that men are either doormats or assholes/players.

I know lots of men who fall into neither of those categories. Some of them even live in New York.

This sounds like the right approach.

If you go to a gym full of lunatic control freaks.

Say what you want. FWIW I know I have nice hair.

The way the signup works, the machines do not sit idle. At my gym, you sign up for halfhour increments. When I arrive, I sign up for two half hour increments on an elliptical. If it is not yet to my time, but there is a machine open, I take it. We have a five minute grace perliod. I can throw someone off the machine I signed up for for the first five minutes of my time - then I have claimed the machine. If I fail to show, whoever is on the machine stays, until the next time slot. If I grab a machine I did not sign up for and someone claims it as their signup within the first five minutes, I get off - no question. After five minutes, the machine is mine - whoever signed up forfeited. The machines at my gym rarely sit idle...but neither do the workerouters because no one sits around waiting for anyone else to end their workout. We plan our workouts and follow the rules. I gym without signups is likely to have a lot of disputes. Mine has few, and all disputes are easily resolved with a review of the rules.

if I open a brothel would you manage it?

Everyone expects the finger. No one expects the thumbs down.

It's been fun. I've had to use it a lot.

Another one I've had great fun using is the "Hey, It's Me!" wave. When someone is about to cut you off or is otherwise being a douchebag on the road, nod your chin up, and wave your hand a bit as if the person should recognize you. They'll think you're a friend, neighbor, teacher of their kid, whatever, that they didn't recognize at first. They'll stop cutting you off, or let you into their lane so you can get off an exit, whatever, and as you go by, you can either give them the "fooled ya" sign or...the finger. If they've already completed the bonehead maneuver they'll be all worried about who you are.

My gym is never crowded enough so the sign up sheet becomes necessary.
