tuxette's Journal: scary things in the gym

Have you ever seen those big exercise balls? My new gym has a bunch of those. Don't they remind you of something out of The Prisoner?

I wonder when they're going to start bouncing after me...

I can't see the second link, but I do own one of those. Specifically, one of these [power-systems.com]. They're good for push ups and sit ups, in my opinion. And they're not very scary if you only buy one. It's when they form alliances and blood brotherhoods that you have to be afraid.

Thus far ours is well-trained and only attacks the postman.

Cheers,

Ethelred

Run, Run, Run!

[BugZRevengE]

They remind me of the Futurama episode where Fry and Bender join the army to get a discount. Those evil balls...

My wife has one, however we have it tamed, and it is frightened of my kids. They love it, they bounce on it and bounce it all around the house, however you cannot leave it alone with the kids... One of my kids will be playing with it and the ball will run away attacking the other kid knocking her over, or squishing her, and the first one has to 'rescue' her, fighting it to get off her.
