Special announcement: I will be out of town and away from internet access all next week (yes, including Friday), so there will be no ReCrap on July 21… at least not from me. If anybody wants to step up and give a shot, please go for it! If you’d like to try, just reply to this thread and say so. Then you can all battle it out and choose the winner alphabetically by zodiac sign. Red’s Weekly ReCrap – Week ending July 14, 2006
The forumites gladly welcomed Charles Staley to JP’s place this week. Staley is the “MacGyver” of the fitness industry, able to give you a workout using almost anything. Seriously, this guy could put together a hypertrophy program that uses three toothpicks, some ketchup and a Phillips screwdriver.
Hard Rox started a new training log with a gymnastics bent, with goals of making progress on the “straddle planche and front lever” while doing an “OLAD-type routine” for lower body on a “seven day rotation with two days active recovery”. Will somebody please tell me what the hell he’s talking about?
Gizoogle has made another appearance. Just for fun I used the tool to translate last week’s ReCrap (now titled “I gots a rappa!”). Its version said that Chris Correia is “tha right dawg fo’ tha jizzle blunt-rollin’ blackbelts”. No argument here.
Milko Georgiev had a birthday this week! He celebrated the fact that he’s one of the few people on the planet who can walk up to Dr. John Berardi and call him “fatty”.
Cappucino started a disturbing thread showing pictures of her “GN PB fudge bars” that she made and tried to pass off to her boyfriend as breakfast in bed. She says the acronym stands for “Gourmet Nutrition Peanut Butter”. I think “Gastric Nightmare Poo Bomb” would be more accurate.
Gobbla hit a milestone of 4,000 posts and gave us his usual “in yo face” brand of inspirational ramblings, sounding kinda like Lost Dog would in a drunken rage. His point was valid, though – you need competition to truly get motivated, and nothing is better than looking down on your opponent with the overwhelming feeling of victory. I think I’ll try it… here goes. “Gobbla, I’m taller than you, funnier than you, and my kids are almost as cute as yours!” Wow, he’s right! I feel great!
The FitCast had its own forum for a day or two, then moved back to JP’s. You will now see an entire FitCast section with subforums for episode discussions, announcements and supershakes. And everybody thought I was just being funny by calling larrabee “world-dominatin’” in the first ReCrap. Excuse me, I’m off to listen to my favorite song by NiN… “bow down before the one you serve, you’re gonna get what you deserve…”.
Remember, if you were in this week's ReCrap, it's all in fun so feel tha love. If you weren't in here, but wanted to be, just wait... your time will come.

OMG, just too freakin' funny. I missed last week's, and just went back to it. Will this be the weekly dark side contribution to balance out Mahler's force?
EDIT: I missed all the previous ones!!! Boy, I've been light recently, haven't I?

The force is with me.
The farce is with Red.
Great stuff, RL.
