Modifying is very important to those of us who just…can’t… keep… up with these young, fit people who insist on always being at workouts… It’s like they’re obsessed or something. I mean, if I had a strong, fit physique, I wouldn’t have to go to workouts every dang morning, now would I?
Oh, wait…
Lowell knows that you do workouts for yourself- your self image, your health, your peace of mind, your whole life. What he probably doesn’t know is that you do workouts hoping that people you’re kinda sweet on like your new self image, your new health, your new peace of mind, and your whole new life… or at least that they know you’ve GOT all that new stuff, and that they don’t think you’re just the same old lump you’ve always been before you got slightly more buff and happy. We SHOULD know that’s why we do it, but it’s instinctive. We like to think we’re making forebrain actions and not brainstem reactions.
Or at least that what I like to think. And I think that’s what Lowell likes to think.
Marvel comics used to (maybe still does) publish a comic called “What If”. In one issue, the story revolved around Conan the Barbarian in modern-day New York (because if anything is going to happen like that, why would it ever happen anywhere but modern New York) and Conan beat up a guy with huge muscles, saying that his strength didn’t come from lifting meaningless pieces of metal over and over, but from fighting for his life all the time. I’m paraphrasing a lot of stylish dialogue that was spread over a couple of pages, of course, but I guess you get the idea. Hubris, whose stamina comes from horsing around and risking bodily injury on a regular basis would have an easy time outrunning anyone whose endurance comes from time spent on a treadmill. Or me. He could definitely outrun me. Running’s not my thing.
Look, they got Paste into a nice, calm setting so that they can all distract him with a little interview…
But.
You can take the boy out of the chaos, but ya can’t take the chaos out of the boy.
He oughtta get a shirt that says that on it.
Did you have a nice Talk Like A Pirate Day?
Aye Did.
Years ago, when some buddies and I went into a lot of caves, Gary was asked what he thought of a particular cave that you had to sort of wade into.
Gary had a dry sense of humor and said, “I didn’t know we were going to get DIRTY!”
They did not ever let him forget that he said that.
