Why you gotta flex on us so hard, Hans? Seriously though that's great.



My WTF: apparently velvet gloves somehow aren't a thing?! Not a common thing, in any case. Madness! Somebody get me a pair of velvet gloves, stat!

Of course not. Canada cancelled them in the 50s.

So I've been trying to get in shape for my Navy recruitment interview on Monday.

I just did 50 sit ups, 40~ push ups, 50~ squats, and ran about two miles split one third walking two thirds running... In an hour.

Holy shit, I'm in Amazing shape.

See yo-
Actually that's pretty damn impressive, jeez.  Really?  Okay.

See you tomorrow
- Your muscles, if you aren't used to those flexes.

I spent most of my day getting repeated scam calls, to the point where I activated the blanket DO NOT DISTURB option on my phone. I don't know what the hell was going on - I kept blocking numbers but kept getting identical calls from different numbers, and choosing to block all unknown numbers did absolutely nothing.

Welcome to my life. You're in the fuckers-that-prey-on-the-elderly zone. All I really know is these scumfuck bastards have some way or another around call blocking.

If I had a genie's wish the lot of them would be maimed to the point they can't use phones ever again.

Give them a reason to "blacklist" you. If you obnoxiously scream into your phone or put it next to a lawnmower consistently enough, eventually they'll learn not to call you in particular. Another method is to breathe heavily, speak huskily and occasionally whisper "oh baby, scam me more" in a way that sounds like you're getting off.

Of course, this won't prevent them from calling anyone else. If you want to do that, a classic is to play along with the scam for a moment, then ask them to call you on your personal phone rather than work number. The personal number you give them is something cheeky, such as an FBI office.

I used to be easily able to do 20 push-ups, could even do 30 if I pushed myself, now I grunt and strain and suffer just tryna hit 20.

I really need to start exercising more but it's been cold enough lately that I don't wanna take off enough layers to free up my movement, hahaha.

WTF. I only just the other night was watching a Youtube video of a renowned country musician performing on a television show hosted by some fella with a goofy face and a blond pompadour, who insisted on joining in (along with a large number of folks who ran in from off-screen) for the last number of the segment.

Today, just now, I read the name "Porter Wagoner" in an article about murder ballads (which I stumbled upon when googling the phrase "is They're Hanging Me Tonight a murder ballad") and, after looking up the guy and listening to one of his songs, recognised that goofy pompadour - and then another google search turned up a bunch of results for "Porter Wagoner tv show", confirming my suspicions and... and... and... causing me to write this post, I guess.
It's significant to me, but I don't exactly have anyone to discuss its significance with.

If that's his real name, he didn't have very many career paths other than country music related things tbh, maybe a wrestler or rodeo-related thing

Wagoner is a pretty badass sounding name. Particularly in relation to the profession it took itself from.

Related realisation: Is Wagner German for Vagnare?

Heh, I've got you beat on the run but that's about it. And that's only because I walk literally everywhere. I need to be in your kind of shape.

[TD1]

I do 30 squats, 24 lunges, 10 press-ups, 1 minute plank, 12 crunches, 40 sit-ups, then 60 (lightish) weights on each arm. Then repeat that two more times.

But I don't do it every day. More like two or three times a week. And it takes aaaaages.

[Mephisto]

Buncha One Punch Mans in here.

[Eric Blank]

I die of oxygen deprivation tryin to do a sit-up. I didn't used to be like this...

[Yoink]

I mean, I usually do 60 sit-ups, but my arse would probably disintegrate if I tried to do more than 40 squats...

Apparently he was the son of Charles E. Wagoner, so I'm guessing it was.
I'm sure there are plenty of folks getting around with especially weird names out there without doing whatever their name implies, though... hell, I'm one of them!

A very distant ancestor of mine was called Drinkwater.

He was the odd one out in the whole of Ireland!
