        I can't say I'd be a nice guy if I was an athlete. I want to think I would be but it would be hard for me to ignore people. - Krusty Feb 19, 07:50

What was your most ludicrous The Following moment last night? (spoils) - Jovian Feb 19, 07:33 4

I'm not sure I like this. Gym classes are including math and reading. - Krusty Feb 19, 07:28 22
- I think it should be all physical, especially when child obesity is such a problem. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:32 3
  - Fat kids and dumb kids are both problems. Two birds, one stone, all that shit. -- nm - TFox Feb 19, 07:36 1
    - Push-ups to punish bad performance in math drills might be good for bootcamp, but I don't think it's a positive thing in general. - Beryllium Feb 19, 07:49
  - I agree. They don't even mention the obesity issue in the article. -- nm - Krusty Feb 19, 07:33
- Disagreed. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 07:29 17
  - You like them learning those subjects during gym class? - Krusty Feb 19, 07:32 16
    - The NFL has added more intelligence testing to the combine, even. - Spawn Feb 19, 07:43 2
      - They do learn. They're learning from the minute they walk in the door. They're not adults, they're kids. They need a break during the day. - Krusty Feb 19, 07:45 1
        
        But see, for kids, learning is *fun*. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 07:45
    - Once you see how much faster kids absorb this stuff when it's part of a game or something they already love... - TFox Feb 19, 07:35 9
      - I think it's great as long as it doesn't interfere with the physical activity. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:36 8
        
        I'm sure they're not bringing desks into the gym. -- nm - TFox Feb 19, 07:37 7
        
        As long as they're not sitting around talking for half the period either. - Krusty Feb 19, 07:41 6
        
        exactly. and the kids aren't dumb, they know how to stretch that shit out to avoid the physical activity. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:47 5
        
        you think the kids in gym class are trying to stretch out the math to avoid playing dodgeball? - TFox Feb 19, 07:51 4
        
        I think they stretch out talking to avoid anyrthing. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:52 3
        
        Did you read the article? Things like alternating arms on pushups to stack things...that's an exercise my personal trainer had me doing. - Jim Feb 19, 07:56 2
        
        that is totally cool. as I said in the beginning, as long as it does not INTERFERE with the exercise, it's great. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:59 1
        
        Exactly. Add it in just don't take away from the athletics or games. -- nm - Krusty Feb 19, 08:17
    - Maybe it's just me, but we didn't really get to "let loose" during gym class. It was a lot of being taught the rules of a game, then playing half the - kelly Feb 19, 07:35 1

- It was still frozen for at least the first 24-36 hours out of the fridge. And as has been said, bad fish is easy to detect. -- nm - landbeck Feb 19, 07:32
- I wouldn't eat it. -- nm - Krusty Feb 19, 07:29
- Salmon is easy to test. Smell it. If it smells fishy or bad toss it. - Bacon Feb 19, 07:26 3
  - honestly, it doesn't get contaminated with the same bugs you see in beef or processed meats. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:28 2
    - It spoils faster and really stinks. If it doesn't smell fresh it gets tossed. - Bacon Feb 19, 07:30 1
      - agreed, that would be a sign of scombroid poisoning (not a bacteria). -- (link) - loosilu Feb 19, 07:31
- I'd devour that delicious fish post haste. -- nm - TFox Feb 19, 07:26
- I would eat it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:25

    - that sounds good. -- nm - Diva Feb 19, 07:43
    - I have done a glaze that is pretty close to that. yep, very delish -- nm - Bacon Feb 19, 07:29 1
      - I subbed maple syrup for the honey because at that point Nathan couldn't have honey. It turned out so good, I'll probably do the same thing. -- nm - kelly Feb 19, 07:31
    - I need to make this. and so do you. tonight. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:28
- it would have taken 24 hours to just thaw - i would smell it, but it is probably fine. -- nm - Andie Feb 19, 07:24 1
  - It's not a very big piece - I think it was thawed in 12 or so hours. - kelly Feb 19, 07:26

    - I saw Max and Ruby a few times and wanted to kick Ruby in the face. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 07:37 2
      - Max has the most awesome toys, and thus we were stuck watching it for a while. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 07:58
