Or you could join me in my absolute hatred of Wilford Brimley.
"So check your Die-uh-BEED-uss[/b], and check it often!"
pompous bossy old shit. If I was eldery and had diabetEEZ I'd be pissed if he were my spokesperson.
Join me.
YOUR LANCETS
AT YOUR DOOR
I want to punch that dude in the face. It's funny man like we're long last borthers. I ALWAYS complain about him to Ritu and shes all "don't let him bother you"
I get all heated.
Well, you know. It IS the right thing to do.
Back when Imus was actually funny (yes, such a time does exist) one of his characters was Wilford Brimley pushing Quaker Oats as some kind of proto-Viagra. "Stick it in an old Pringles can...you'll get a boner you can tow a truck with."
And a tasty way to do it.
I actually respond that way to folks in the real world when they say that earnestly. And it usually elicits a blank stare.
day - you still have the Wilford Brimley "old headz" graphic raer?
"i'm watching you sir radio. the brimster sees all."[/b]
Hahahah! I have some weird issues too that HJ is just like "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Like how come all commercials geared towards women that have to do with health shit, like medicine, breakfast, breat cancer, whatever, why do they always have at least one shot of a woman doing yoga or tai chi. Every single of these adds do it. Its the "healthy woman lifestyle" shot. Its like as soon as they start talking about health I brace myself, and there it is... 40 year old woman doing tai chi on the beach. And I'll stomp around the room yelling about how tai chi is just shit for old people to do because if they do anything more strenuous they'll hurt themselves. That shit isn't exercise! And neither is yoga. Yeah, it might be hard, but at best its just a stretching routine.
But my weirdest issue by far is dehydration. I'm super anal about drinking enough water when its hot. I picked it up in the army, where they practically beat "heat safety" into you. And I'll recite shit like "If you are thirsty then you are already in the first stage of dehydration!" The last time we flew out to my parents house, I asked a flight attendant to bring me some water, and then launched into a speech about dehydration and flying and whatever, and she thought my speech was amusing, which I did not like and so I said "DEHYDRATION IS VERY SERIOUS!" and after all that she forgot to bring me my water. HJ just laughs now because she knows I have this thing about drinking water. "GATORADE IS NOT WATER. WHEN YOU ARE THIRSTY, THE ONLY THING YOUR BODY NEEDS IS WATER. PURE WATER. IF YOU DRINK GATORADE THEN YOU ARE DESTROYING YOURSELF. ONLY DRINK THAT AFTER YOU HAVE DRANK ENOUGH WATER. ELECTROLYTES MY ASS."
yeah I gave up on that witty response a little while back. kids these days. they just don't get it.
here's the thing though- has wilford ever been not old?
As far back as I can remember he's been the grumpy old man.
yeah someone needs to find a pic of a young WB...raer.
You're right.
This needs to be done.
It's the right thing to do.
Kind of disturbing, actually.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my personal thread of the day!
Dude that fuckin mustache must weigh 5lbs easily.
G*ry,
Lemme tell you, dude. Tai Chi is some difficult shit. It's basically Kung Fu lsowed down to almost static movements. It's a very beneficial internal martial art.
I used to think yoga was on some bullshit too. That is, until I went to a Bikram yoga class. You should try it the next time you wanna see your life flash before your eyes in a 90 minute session of working every muscle group in your body, a realignment of your internal organs and a recalibration of your metabolism. Shit is no joke and a killer workout.
I agree with you on the whole water versus gatorade thing though.
"my mustache weighs a ton."
hahah... I knew somebody would argue it. But still, I have a theory about tai chi. All the old kung fu masters got old and slow, and they couldn't do their forms lighting fast anymore. One of them, old, bent, arthritic, is moving slow as a snail when a young student see hims and says "Aya! You are slow!" The master, in a moment of quick thinking says "Ignorant Child! This is a new technique! I call it... um.... Tai Chi!"
and yoga... well... in every culture somebody is bound to wonder if its possible to smoke their own pole. One day, an Indian Spiritual master is cought by a student doing that very thing. The student says "Master! what the fuck?!" and the master says "Ignorant Child! This is a new meditation technique! I call it... um.... Yoga!"*

Shazam!
Ever see that SNL skit where Will Ferrell's in the yoga class and is flexible enough to enjoy a spirited bout of autofellatio? Shit was mad silly...dude just keeps burying his face in his groinage like "Uhhh...gimme five more minutes."
He is known to Star Wars fans as Noa Briqualon in George Lucas' 1985 made-for-TV movie Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Outside of film and advertisements, Brimley is also known as an activist[/b], paying from his own funds for ads to have Utah allow horse-race gambling, and he was actively opposed to the banning of cockfighting.[/b]
Snubbing fellow Mormon Mitt Romney, Brimley has lent his support to John McCain in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
Brimley's appearances in the Liberty Medical commercials have been lampooned by various individuals, who focus on Brimley's pronunciation of the word "diabetes" (Brimley pronounces it "diabeetus"[/b]). His pronunciation was parodied on an episode of Family Guy, for one.
