You were totally firing on all pistons when you wrote this, Shelly. And yes, piston may be the only innuendo you missed. This is brilliant!

"If you’re an OLYMPIC athlete and winning in your sport comes down to a matter of millimeters and making sure no part of your body touches a bar, wouldn’t you strap down any part of your body that has the potential to succumb to gravitational forces..." Friends and I just said this yesterday!! Another great post, Shelly!!

I left that message before I hit the subscribe button. Then I got your welcome email saying we're besties now. I looked around suspiciously wondering if the computer was reading my thoughts. Clearly we're on the same wavelength.

I did think this article was going to focus just as much on the behaviour of people (being dicks), but this brought on a few giggles. By the way, ever seen a rower in a zootie? Those things leave nothing to the imagination.

Laughing in the darkness of my kitchen again...should I abbreviate it from now on? LITDOMK?

Shelly Mazzanoble's avatar

Yessssssss! #LITDOMK! I do have to wonder what time you get up that your kitchen is always dark. Or is it late at night? For some reason I picture you laughing in the dark while also drinking coffee. :)

I am up at 5ish--and I want to clarify that this isn't when I naturally wake up, it's an unfortunate consequence of early riser children and my husband needing to be at work early. And yes, there is absolutely coffee.
