To bring this thread back around to where it started, it is brutally cold outside. The wind is howling, the wind chill has got to be below zero. I know those in the northeast have been hit with snow, but at least that gives you a good reason to not go into work. "I'm snowed in" is much more acceptable than "Its too cold to drive."

You want to trick me into gay marriage? I'll find a way to get you to pay for me to visit Iceland, I'll just have to think up a cunning plan.

You going to trick him into a gay marriage?

I was surprised they're so expensive on Nalgene's website, I think I paid like $7 for my 32oz. Nalgene. They're fantastic, I once ran mine over just to prove they're indestructible. I really want a SIGG bottle.

SIGG classic water bottle-$18+s/h Nalgene widemouth-$11.50+s/h Water-Free So, over the course of a year, using a SIGG (metal) bottle wont cost you more than $3/month (USPS shipping quote to my zip was $6, quicker delivery on FedEx or USPS would be more) while using a Nalgene (plastic) bottle would cost about a dollar a month, since you can pick those up at many local retailers. And you'd always be hydrated. Compare that to let's say Coke which is still $1/bottle at most public vending machines, more expensive at "captive" vending machines, places like amusement parks, movie theaters, etc. If a person buys one bottle of coke a day, thats $28-$31/month. If you get a 24 pack of cans (which were $6.48 at Wal-Mart the other day) and drink one a day, you'd have to buy 16 cases to make it through a year which works out to $103/year or $8.64/month. Now please, tell me, whats the more expensive option? Hell, even if you get a Pur pitcher to run your water throught, thats only $21 at Wal-Mart or $1.75/month.

A golden shower?

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I just ate some asparagus.

GM is broke so they can afford anything better.

I hit a sobriety checkpoint a little while ago on my way to go pick up a movie. Cop asked if I had been drinking. I asked if he had any reason to believe I had been. He said no, I stonewalled, he sent me on my way.

War on Fat People (All the non-obese just have to hang out at the top of a long, gradual incline, then when the obese try to attack, they'll all have heart attacks on the way up)

my reason for living

Swimming is great for the body. I like jogging, I love kayaking and biking, but my all-time favorite exercise is sex. No better way to burn calories.

I picked one up the other day for my son. It has a '59 Eldorado, '67 Camaro, '67 GTO, C6 Corvette and a stupid gold Hummer H2. Here is the same thing on eBay for $9.50+$5.79s/h. I got mine at Wal-Mart for $4.97. The GTO and 'Vette may be taken away from my son and put in my office. I also got him a Matchbox 5-pack with a classic Mini Cooper that I plan on stealing from him.

best things ever

Speaking of Pontiac, why doesn't Avis apply my corporate discount towards the rental of a Solstice?

I haven't had fresh pineapple in years.

If they cant get anyone financed, slashing prices isn't going to help.

Some is better than sitting on the couch complaining about your "damned genetics" while you eat a deep fried Twinkie that you bought at Wal-Mart, but had a hard time getting because they're on the 3rd shelf up and you didn't want to get out of the electric shopping cart.

BTW, situps are free. So is the sidewalk in front of your house, or the road that runs by your house. Pushups are free too, but I cant do more than 2 before my arm feels like it is going to pop out. Its true that gyms are more comfortable in the heat of summer or the chill of winter, and its true that the high tech equipment is expensive ($2500 for a Bowflex) and takes up space, but none of that is necessary to be healthy.

I've noticed that too, O.C. I've noticed that in spite of the large number of heavy/obese people who work in the corporate complex, the only people I ever see in the gym are a few of the middle aged warehouse guys (mostly ex-military) and the hot girls from the call center. Its $4/week, so its not as if its cost prohibitive, although I learned that if I flirt with the right person in HR, I can keep getting weekly guest passes. I'll admit that I've let myself slip a little since the weather started getting colder. I just weighed myself (ironically while holding a can of Pepsi) and I've gained about 10 pounds since October, and my body fat has jumped to 17.5% but once the weather starts to cooperate again, I'll get back to work to drop it. Its that last part most people have an issue with, they'd rather blame genetics or healthier food costing more (BS, an apple costs the same as a Snickers bar, eating nothing costs far less than snacking on potato chips, etc) than go jogging or hop on a treadmill.
