Further Proof that These People Are Crazy...

1. Yesterday Luc and I went to the Gym. At the check-in counter a lady in front of us [who i'm guessing was around 55-60] was about to go to the tanning bed. She said, "I'll only tan for 15 minutes today. I'm on a new antibiotic and my doctor says I should be careful about the sun for awhile." ...uh, ok.

2. There is a man at Walgreens behind a table full of hats and tshirts trying to give away free copies of the Beacon [a local newspaper]. I'm not sure which is worse - the fact that people cannot stop for 20 whole seconds to give this gentleman their attention and respond to him like he's a human being OR the fact that as people walk on by the man tries to continue the conversation w/ the back of their heads. Also, he was wearing a skin-tight UnderArmor shirt like he just jumped off his 10 speed. That's pro.

3. My roommate and I have begun a new exercise at the gym that consist of us sitting on a reverse incline bench and doing sit-ups w/ a medicine ball. The catch [quite literally] is that at the top of the sit-up you throw the ball to your partner who then throws it back to you as you descend for another sit-up. Lucas keeps calling this a 'fun' exercise - but it's not fun. It's just a sit-up that is more involved. Pony rides, watching movies, eating dinner w/ friends - these things are fun. Sit-ups, no matter how you church it up, are not fun.

4. Yesterday people kept coming into the office and saying "it is sooo nice outside." Except it really isn't. It's about 50 degrees max, all plantlife still looks dead, there's not an animal in sight, every field and large yard contains partially frozen standing water, it smells like mold, all remaining snow piles contain more dead leaves and cigarette butts than snow, and most yards and driveways are chewed up by recent snow-plow activities. Quite honestly, it looks like someone painted our entire community w/ a brown paint brush and then stomped on it w/ a huge boot. IF by saying "it's sooo nice outside" you really mean "it's nicer than it was 3 days ago and the sun is out," well then I can agree.

UPDATE

5. I just realized yesterday that baseball coaches wear the same uniform as the players.  Is that really necessary?  It's not the most comfortable outfit in the world.  Can you imagine the head coach of a basketball team wearing shorts and a jersey?  Or how about the swim team coach in a speedo?  Or possibly the best...the male coach of a women's volleyball team dressed in those tiny shorts?  LOLOLOLOL...baseball.
