Red’s Weekly ReCrap #19 – Excuse me while I kiss this guy
Random note of the day: Here’s what is on my daily “Dad” calendar at work today:
“If my kids are crying at the end of a movie, I probably didn’t like it.”
Not true. My 3-year-old was bawling at the end of “The Shining” but I loved it.
Red’s Weekly ReCrap – Week ending November 2, 2006
1. OK, folks, mark your calendars, save your money and work on your mullet-hunting skills – the JPFitness summit will be in Little Rock again next year! Biggest winner: ODB and Cappy who don’t even have to travel. Biggest loser: Erika, who has to deal with the insanity in her home, instead of shipping him off to Phoenix for a few days.
2. Ian Kay (f.k.a. Rockhard) is trying a new extreme diet (part shakes, part veggies, part he makes up based on nothing) while continuing to train extremely hard. Alan Aragon chimed in wondering about Ian’s bowels. Ian actually responded. Wow, it takes quite a friend to ask about constipation. With friends like these, who needs enemas?
3. OK, I have to mention the gay thread. It’s just keeps going. And going. Some want it to end, while other kick back with a bottle of water and read the hilarity. Me? I don’t buy into stereotypes. Besides, I’ve been too busy listening to the latest Madonna album. It’s yummy.
4. The Injury forum had a good question about sleeping positions for optimal back/joint health. The common wisdom seems to be sleeping with a pillow between your knees, if you’re a side-sleeper. In lieu of a pillow, though, you could always put your significant other in the scissor-hold. Ninja, that means you might want to use only a light blanket so that he can stay cool.
5. GqArtguy competed in a strongman competition this week (pics here), with proceeds going to charity. While helping the needy is nice and all, he mostly went for the keg toss competition, only to find that they were all empty.
6. Halloween was this week, and of course there’s a thread with pictures of forumites in costume. My favorite was Lost Dog dressed as Liza Minnelli. Oh, that was his avatar? And it’s just his regular clothes? My bad.
7. The Healthy Recipes forum had an interesting thread on homemade mayonnaise, to help avoid the huge amounts of omega-6 fats in the store-bought brands. Along those lines, watch near the end of this video to see a new way to increase vegetable intake.
8. No joke here, but if you haven’t noticed, Alwyn’s been very prolific lately in blog postings. You’d better get over there and catch up.
Have a great weekend and make sure to work on your glute activation!

Sorry, the Danica cutout is only two dimensional. It doesn't offer much support.

Thanks, Michael. Not only did I learn how to improve my veggie intake easily, I also learned a new way to "say" grace at dinner. Priceless.
