For over a couple of years now there is a house nearby me that is at the entrance to a neighborhood on a major road that has a blow up doll mounted on the roof. The words ‘free speech’ in large painted letters are beside it, and an american flag is jutting from between the doll’s legs. The doll I think is blind folded. Threw me off completely the first time I saw it, which I think is the point. I’m sure this guy’s neighbors love him, but I’ll see if I can’t take a picture of it.
senor jizzwad, no way on the 9 mile jog. you mean 9 min.? i try and walk @ 5 miles a day.
senor chemicalmeat, bring on the pix.
when i’ve been in LA and gone to venice beach, i’ve walked by this house that has a female sculpture/mannequin thing on the balcony that’s painted with an american flag motif. not as cool as what you’re talking about, but i always thought, wow, that dude’s gotta be a huge queen. probably uses that sculpture as a maypole or something.
hilarious.
My hat’s off for your three marathons, that’s some awesome stuff man!
I did one marathon and don’t really plan on another. I loved the training but the race itself was unpleasant after mile 18. I’m also big into yoga (I manage a yoga studio for a living) and I’d noticed that running was causing problems for my yoga practice - tight hammies got in the way of some postures.
I thought about yanking his Amerikan flag ( how I grow tired of this image - doesn’t mean anything to me ) right down, right in front of his eyes and just stand there with pure death in my eyes.

That reminds me of a night I had last year. I was staying in a suburb of Chicago for a few weeks. Was walking through your typical American housing estate one night with all these American flags hanging out the front of the houses. That kind of thing was new to me, never seen such concerted efforts at displaying patriotism before. Anyway I thought there was too many of them on display so my 10+beer mindset informed me to take a great big one, drape it around me and sing “I am a real American” to myself as I pranced on back to the place i was staying at. The next morning I woke up beside this great big stars and stripes with a gold eagle at the top. Was funny at the time. I think the cops were onto me and the dudes I was staying with but there was a robbery of a shop down the road few days later on and they caught the culprits so we were off the hook.
On the topic of fitness; I have a bro who does marathons now and then, never tried it myself mainly as I suffer from the odd bout of shin splints and a hernia problem. My physio is adamantly against marathons because of the damage it can cause to the knees and such. Come to think of it my bro does have a dodgy knee nowadays. To keep (reasonably) fit I play soccer once or twice a week and do a light training session few days a week (pull ups, sit ups, dumbell curls, that kind of thing.) If I went without exercise for anymore than 2 weeks I would feel real shitty. Its good to keep active.

Cool. I’m a big yoga person myself. I don’t own a studio, but i’ve been doing it daily for 7 or 8 years now
Devastated Mr Wadd.
sean young huh? good one. kinda outta left field, but why not.
never ran a marathon, but one of my siblings has been doing it for years.
i just walk, and have been doing that long before it was fashionable. decades and decades fly by and it’s so much more interesting than going to a gym.
over and out.
The way I see it there’s NO wrong weather - just wrong clothes.
You need to sell that slogan to Nike or Reebok!

No doubt. You’d make an absolute killing, Jizz.
I have a girl boner for you Mr Wadd, smart and sexy sigh
Sean Young was great in bladerunner. But then i see those times she was on tv trying to get the catwoman part in my head and it just kills everything
Cataclysmically bad!
Waitaminnit.
Cat… - a -clys-mically…
Dayuum, I’m good.
Your rimshot, sir. [laugh]

Anyhoo word from the oh-so- reliable UK press is that the ex missus Billy Bob Thorton may be a lock for this gig and has expressed an interest.
Ye gods! It’s not that she’s wrong - it just seems like an uninspired obvious choice to me. Anyhoo - Im sure the film is a ways-away. Fine by me!
I’d rather see Selma Blair or ( previous Nolan collab. ) Hillary Swank.

Angelina? Nooooooo…
I could dig the other two, though. Yes, ma’am.
Funny didn’t they actually MAKE a catwoman movie with halley barrey. Guess nobody though she did too good of a job.
Me? I’d just as soon give the job to milla jovovich. Something tells me she’d be a good fill for the role… But then again I’m just kinda infatuated with her.
Homemade sign I saw this morning in a window on my 9 mi jog outside a house with a big ol Amerikan flag on the front porch:
“NOBAMA”
Such frenzied originality, eh?
Lame. It’s funny when people think they’re clever. The same has to be said about “GOBAMA”, though.
9 miles is insane. I run 2 a day every day except the sabbath, cause that would be a sin but 9, would drop me for sure.

Dude, the Catwoman movie was just an excuse to put Halle Berry in an S&M get-up. And by God, it was a damned good excuse. Pretty lame movie, but it definitely had excellent scenery. [cool]
As for miss Jovovich, meh. I’d keep expecting zombies to pop out of nowhere.
Also, “GOBAMA”? LAME.
HOBAMA, BLOBAMA, YOBAMA’S SO FAT… See, I can do it, too.

Damn, that was a good one! Me and the Ms. Laughed outloud at that for a coupla seconds!

i’m about to lose my lunch.
but that won’t happen soon since i’m a corpse, speaking to one and all from the grave.
you guys crack me up. skull’s shattering as we speak.
SO basically it comes down to either you vote for an old guy who is about to croak and is “really experienced” and in the old school of politics, or the really really young guy who is in the “new school” who hasn’t really done much…
so what’s this like either we get grampa simpson or maggie?
yup i’m bald headed john king of the (plookers) bad analogies
