Have you been working out? my Occasionally Sleeping Friend asked me recently. Of course not I replied indignantly. Gyms scare me in many, many ways, all those people jumping and flailing about on sweaty machines indoors before getting back into their cars to drive home – it’s too… weird.
It’s just that your arm muscles look really big he explained with a slight hint of awe in his voice.
Really? I shrieked in an excited pitch only audible to canines as I jumped up and raced to the mirror to check out the situation. My OSF followed me and watched in amusement as I attempted to flex my milky white chicken arms while peering with anxious concentration to see if there was any visible bump.
Hmmm he said gravely actually I think it was just the way you were lying on your arm – sorry.
hahhahaahah! That’s so funny.
“She just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich.”
the song is now stuck in my head!
People in white coats advise swimming.
It’s equally effective, it’s accident-free, the result is more balanced, and it is less weird than sweating on a machine… right?
The only drawback of swimming is that everyone is (practically) naked. Although that could be an advantage too if you join a swimming club (other than mine).
don’t the white coats make it harder to swim – and why don’t you want me joining your club eh eh eh?
People in white coats *advise* swimming. They also advise people not to smoke, but are among the heaviest smokers themselves.
I do want you to join my club
I’m only warning you that everyone being (pratically) naked there may not be an advantage (it is in some cases).
At least you know what way to lie on your arm next time you’re trying to pick someone up
Ha! Big guns cramp your flexibility . .or so I’m told. Problem now is I’ve got an image of you 6 stone and dripping wet in a white lab coat.
hidh – hehe I’m not sure which category I’d fit in
caro – well he’s the only one I want to pick up so the only other option is to lift weights
baino – there’s a thought – I am far from 6 stone I promise!!!
too funny, sugar! especially this line: Really? I shrieked in an excited pitch only audible to canines… i could actually picture you standing in front of the mirror! ;~D xoxox
Muscles, who needs them? If I want anything doing that needs muscles, I get a wee man in. I like the white coat idea though – a strategically padded white coat could suggest quite impressive arm muscles.
Personally I work out quite a lot – in fact I work out in the garden most days. Does that count?
savannah – sadly this screch happens all too often
nick – hehe oh dear – terrible! But I still love it
lol. that really made me laugh! the way you were lying on your arm. hehehe
i won the 7″ single of that song at a disco for my “working my way back to you babe” dance. i played it so much my dad took it off me!
Ooh that’s not very nice of your friend… It did make me laugh though!
townygirl – I won a 7″ Pet Shop Boys single from a radio station – you’ve just reminded me…
marjolein – I’m sure he meant it in the best possible way
hee
heh i particularly like your indignation at the thought you might have been exercising… i hate gyms.
annie – you taken over from MJ?
laurie – great minds…
