The Wednesday Varietal!

Camping out on Old Lady Row.

That's what it felt like at the gym this morning. Old lady to the left of me, two more to my right. Each and every one of them confused or overwhelmed in their own special little way. The lady all the way on the end was clearly new. Either at the gym altogether or just at the machine that she selected to try and operate this particular day. No lady, unless your a jedi, you can't just stand there and stare at the elliptical and will it into motion. You'll need to follow the onscreen instructions. You know, the ones that are flashing in green and scrolling across the screen?

Press "Quick Start". Just press it for christsake! It's the big green square button that you've been staring at for the last 3 minutes.

And her equally clueless compatriot; it's not a touch screen, that's a television monitor that you keep poking. And it helps if you're actually ON the machine before you try to begin your "routine". C'mon ladies, get your shit together.

In other news.... Broken Spleenotronic Funtime Factories™ morning-ly (<---made up word alert) reports are showing HUGE sales of the amazing, the wonderful, the groove-a-rific iTub! One girl over in Locust Point ordered 4! Which means, of course, since she took advantage of the 12 second sale window, that she will receive a whopping 16 iTubs (assuming, of course that she fills out her Friendly-Sunshine-Rainbow L.E.C.A.P.A.A.F.T. packet! and returns it registered mail asap!)

In other, other news... I am waiting patiently for the MAXX # 25 (originally issued in 1996) to come in! I can't read beyond #25, although I have #'s 26 thru #31, plus #33 and #34. Just letting you all know the status on that.


nothing else for now!
