Alwyn Cosgrove gave everyone a fantastic surprise by posting Thursday night and saying that he has returned home after his cancer treatments. That’s his story, anyway. Some of know it’s simply that the new Superman movie has finally opened and Alwyn could stop his hero-consultant role and return to his regular job. We all look forward to next year’s summit when he can curse us out in his unique European brogue.
standAPART’s newest article was titled, “5 Small, But Crucial Cardio Mistakes” and caused quite the dialogue, with Frank S, JP and even Eric Cressey joining in the fun. I was going to offer “the headband worn by scary old man at my YMCA” for item #6 on the list as a crucial cardio mistake, but it didn’t qualify because it wasn’t “small”. I think I was robbed since it all depends on your frame of reference. The headband was definitely small compared to, say, Wyoming.
Iamjennmedic has continued the recent trend of the boards by starting another weekly thread, this one a beefcake pictorial on Wednesdays. Alas, it has joined the Friday photo thread in demolishing the puny ratings of the ReCrap, with the beefcake thread receiving over 1,000 views in its first week! I hereby respond with the ultimate marketing maneuver: more cowbell.
Yet another spammer was justly humiliated this week. That avatar is one hot piece of manflesh – I fully expect to see him in next week’s Wednesday thread.
ODB posted a link to a photo log detailing his recent trail hike with his 16-year-old son. Wow, they must have an awesome relationship. If my father had ever said, “RL, how’d you like to hike the Butterfield Trail?”, I would’ve interpreted it as an odd-sounding threat.
Irishdazza used the Martial Arts forum to point Chris Correia to a poor soul on the Men’s Health boards looking for Taekwondo advice. Correia is certainly the right man for the job, having blackbelts in Taekwondo, Hapkido and Kumdo (the art of the sword). Unfortunately, once the Men’s Health poster realized that even with all these credentials Mr. Correia still hadn’t achieved the glow, he was discouraged and gave up.
The Nutrition forum discussed ways to make Greens Plus – Wild Berry flavor more palatable. If there was ever a case of optimistic product naming, it’s certainly “Greens Plus – Wild Berry”. Puh-leeze. You can’t put red dye and artificial flavors on onion grass and call it Wild Berry. That’s like me farting at the dinner table and saying “It’s okay! That was the new Spring Breeze scent!”
The FitCast continues its strong run with hundreds of downloads every week. They seem to always have a challenge or competition to keep things interesting, so now I’ll offer one to them. You see, the co-hosts each have problems with some forum members’ names. larabee always prounces Mr. Cosgrove’s name as “All-win” instead of “All-in”. And Dr. Williams says “GAY-la” instead of “GAL-ya”. If Williams can interview Galya on the FitCast and get her name right every time, I’ll come on the show and sing a modified version of an Eric Clapton classic (see pic below).
JP has come through and the summit DVD is now for sale! Some people have questioned the value at $49, and rightly so, I think. After all, 30 of us from all over the world spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars to attend in person, and did nothing but rave about it for weeks afterward. So I can see the reason for skepticism.
Gayla... got me on my knees, Gayla! Darlin' won't you ease my worried mind!

I didn't miss it... in fact, I posted in the thread not long after it began yesterday. It's just that I already had some notes from that forum and am trying to spread the love to some of the "fringe" forums. This week was martial arts' turn.
If RedWifey brings me poo in bed this week, though, then I'm going at Cappy with all satirical guns blazin'!

Only when I'm really in trouble, you know, like when your mom uses your middle name. Although with your last name, Keith, you really should have a nice and simple middle name balance it out. Something like "Al". Do you have a middle name? I'm always curious how different families and cultures deal with children's names.
In my family, middle names are for the purpose of honoring someone in previous generations, even though they have a name we'd never actually use as a first name for our children. I've of course rebelled against this tradition and my two kids' middle names have no connection with anyone in my family.
Which all comes back to when I'm in trouble, and my dad calls me RL.

Loved the cowbell vid, RL. Even if my boss questioned the giggles coming from my office (not that that's particularly unusual .... )
And clearly the "log" has to find it's way into the "recrap". I mean talk about a match made in heaven!

Excellent work, Redlefty! Can we get an MP3 recording of you singing the Clapton song anyway? That would make a nice sound clip on the show
I'll see what I can do, although I'm not sure I have the proper equipment yet (easy now... I meant recording equipment).
And Cappy, I surrender! Thanks to RedWifey's threat of morning baby poo, I will gladly include you in next week's ReCrap. You want a weekly inclusion? Heck, I'll give you a feature every Friday! Just get my wife to put down the fecal weapon and walk away slowly!
