Wow, that article is tedious. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:31
aaaand... the word 'crisis' is officially fucked out. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 18, 09:26
Because we like our cul-de-sacs -- nm - Strongbad Apr 18, 09:21
L5, S1, that's why. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:08

- like anything you have to look at the marginal benefit of changing one's behavior - znufrii Apr 18, 09:25
- I usually agree with this, especially for customers at the theater. But then I think, every little bit helps. Walking some is better than nothing. -- nm - sycor Apr 18, 09:05 1

  - you dismiss it as silly, and then procede to explain how you illustrate their observation perfectly. :) -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 09:28
drill baby drill! -- nm - pixitude Apr 18, 08:57
because I live a 30 minute drive from my job that's why. And my job is not in the best part of town, so I wouldn't live closer either. -- nm - sycor Apr 18, 08:56 13
- but, there are other places to walk besides to and from work. :) -- nm - Andie Apr 18, 08:57 12
  - and I do plan to start walking and working out once I get moved. Just to get out of the apartment. The depression is already setting in and I hate it. - sycor Apr 18, 09:00 11
    - Join a gym. Get ripped. - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:03 10
      - gym ... xbox - oblique Apr 18, 09:11 2

        I used to love getting angry and working out. It just helps you *smash* it. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:05 5

        this is my hope. The apartment complex I'm looking has a pretty facility. Not as good as an actual gym of course, but pretty good. - sycor Apr 18, 09:08 3

I only got one good knee, for fucks sakes! nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 08:55 3
- You should start using knee pads. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:55 2
  - Only one is bad so he must be Tebowing a lot -- nm - Bacon, via droid Apr 18, 08:59 1
    - Kilblowing -- nm - pixitude Apr 18, 09:01
Because we are fat and lazy. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:54
Duh! 'Cause we're lazy? -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 08:54
