Apropos of cicadas, well ok not really, has anyone else noticed that bees seem to be coming back?

, and I'm sure that's not healthy. Isn't slow and steady the better way to do it? I mean, I don't pretend to be any kind of healthy person or expert exerciser or anything, but it just looks so wrong and so dangerous.
Generally, yes, it's wrong and dangerous. But there are specific training regimes that do it that way, which usually have other aims than health. They could be pure strength, for instance. Or specific sports exercises. Or amassing useless but still impressive muscle. All of those things appeal to guys. Having good posture, a balanced physique, good flexibility, strength in unusual and awkward ways, and a strong heart all achieved by lifting girly weights and dancing a lot, doesn't appeal so much.
Personally, I'm with the chicks. I want to live longer and fuller, not harder and faster.
if there's anything less conducive to erotic reverie than the stench of chlorine and cold, wet concrete I don't want to know.
Funny, I'd have been thinking the bulky dude with his chop out was the buzz crusher. Chlorine and cold, wet concrete to me evokes images of women in swimsuits. I must think different to you, can't think how, though ;-0

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) - applications like GMail and Google Docs that run various forms of editor and the like in the local browser.
This wasn't really anticipated when Javascript was invented.
I guess not, but still, I'm doing pretty much exactly what GMail does, using AJAX for my own mail server, and seriously, it still doesn't need to be that fat. Fat must just be back in fashion. I guess steadily rising hardware resources leaves a lot of fat to be soaked up by something, and why should Microsoft get it all?

except that we are sold time in the commercial gym as an individual experience. Which is bullshit.
I don't think most gyms make any secret of the fact it's a social experience. But they surely glamorize what kind of experience it will be. The salesperson is usually (in most of my experience) a bubbly, friendly, hot chick who is really into you, wants to find out all about you, right up until you've signed across a thousand bucks worth of ongoing fees, after which you'll never see them again, and it's you and the machines, the mirrors, and the other patrons. Or the spa pool if that's your bag.

When I'm in the gym I'm trying not to eyeball anyone, corpulent or otherwise, in case it draws attention to the puny weights I'm lifting. Gone are the days when I go to the gym to impress random strangers, and suffer days of agony afterward. Finally, it's actually about health.

Perhaps a sign saying "NO PO MO" then.
Now THAT's a gym I'd sign up for.

I thought the Lone Star was a steak house.

Loading ads, mostly.
Ah, that's right, I remember when I used to get those. Fair enough, for those who want the ads to load faster, a fat-arse client is a good thing. And a really fat pipe to the net too.

Ah, it would be this one, which one of my Flickr pals thinks was called the Pink Palace.
The weird thing for me is that I can only ever think of that place as one of the only Greek restaurants to ever grace Auckland. I went there a number of times in the 90s and it didn't have any kind of spa pool. But I heard it became a (really bad, apparently) brothel.

there were no "ladies"
But lots of Gentlemen?
