Time for a re-read.<BR/><BR/>Dang, I forgot that at Dr. J's you get PAID to send in question. Readers: take note!<BR/><BR/>Cranky Fitness needs more Alien Ass-Probing!<BR/><BR/>Hey Holly, next up is bathroom tile. Any ideas?<BR/><BR/>Body parts named after food items: great question. What IS up with that? We'll get right on it.<BR/><BR/>Yay for Evil Twins who take over keyboards!<BR/><BR/>Wow, peeing is the ultimate compliment!<BR/><BR/>And Reb, you've got more courage than most, get any damn suit you want!<BR/><BR/>So no worries, Cranky Fitness and Random Friday will never be "regular" in any sense of the word.Crabby McSlackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-91144807182094645822008-02-15T20:44:00.000-05:002008-02-15T20:44:00.000-05:00Kery, isn't it tempting sometimes to take the mean route? Though I think a) was my favorite response, since agreeing with someone who wants to give you a bad time can really annoy them.<BR/><BR/>Bag Lady, if you can't swim, I think you're excused from swimsuit season. I'll write a note :)<BR/><BR/>Holly -- maybe we should encourage Crabby to post color swatches online, so we could all vote? I for one have no idea what the two different colors look like.<BR/><BR/>Stephanie, that's definitely a candidate for another Ask Cranky post, should I be able to persuade Ms. C. to have another go. (Or maybe she knows that answer to your question already? Crabby?)<BR/><BR/>Scrumpy's B, I'd never seen that commercial before. I didn't know if was a couple years old. But you're right, it's got a timeless quality about it :)<BR/><BR/>Evil Sam? Next time Sambo lets you near the computer, come back and visit!<BR/><BR/>Reb, I think swimsuit shopping is something that you should only do when you have a fully qualified therapist along. It's not for the faint hearted :(<BR/><BR/>Emily, all I know is that most of the ultra thin fashionable girls that I went through High School have very wrinkled skin from too much tanning and too much dieting. Those of us who were unfashionably pale and chubby cheeked in our youth definitely look a lot younger :)Merryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-12132704449675558192008-02-15T20:37:00.000-05:002008-02-15T20:37:00.000-05:00Oooh, Crabby, Mary Anne in K. has a point. Maybe if Random Friday didn't suffer from occasional bouts of irregularity, it wouldn't be as much fun?<BR/><BR/>Dr. J, no no no, the questioners are supposed to pay you for being such a font of wisdom and benevolence and all that kinda stuff. At least, I think that's how it's supposed to work.<BR/><BR/>I always thought that people you saw on TV, celebrities and such, weren't actual real human beings, but aliens from another planet. Or another dimension of reality, like those "reality" shows.<BR/><BR/>Javachick -- someone else has read Watership Down? Yay! (Go Hazel!)<BR/><BR/>Jolynn -the f.s., I think that's a pretty cool attitude. Maybe that would have been a better response. You appreciate winter more if sports that you enjoy, such as skiing, are limited to that time of the year. (Not sure what to recommend for people who hate skiing.)<BR/><BR/>Leah -- I thought it was quite gracious of Crabby to apologize like that. Clearly, she's a much nicer person than I am. :(Merryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-26161192177229467532008-02-15T19:57:00.000-05:002008-02-15T19:57:00.000-05:00Dear Cranky Fitness:<BR/>But--if the Random Fridays are "somewhat regular" they won't be Random, will they? <BR/><BR/>Mary Anne in KentuckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-85449586106207691772008-02-15T17:50:00.000-05:002008-02-15T17:50:00.000-05:00I pee'd a little from laughing so hard at the Hottie letter, thanks for that!redkittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-50357795612916993522008-02-15T16:54:00.000-05:002008-02-15T16:54:00.000-05:00That ad is hilarious.

I love to workout on my treadmill but lately I've actually been getting outside and walking my 30 minutes.....it's better when it's "warm" (yesterday was frigid, could have used a face mask), but I've been enjoying it. Now I'm also a skier so I've been outside a lot this winter.....that bit would make a difference for others that don't like the cold weather.JoLynn - The Fit Shackhttp://www.thefitshack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-22307022407024187042008-02-15T11:44:00.000-05:002008-02-15T11:44:00.000-05:00: ) I like the one from the 19 year old girl- reminds me of half the sorority girls when I was at school...I wonder what they'll look like when they're 40 LOL!!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14989528656890002126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-87760672566837003382008-02-15T11:41:00.000-05:002008-02-15T11:41:00.000-05:00I'm so glad you've seen fit to apologize to Hottie for all your bad advice.
