  1. Yep. In my 30s I stopped working out. Typical complacency with marriage and kids after keeping fit throughout my 20s. I got back to it as I was approaching 40, and one of the first things I did before ever setting foot in a gym was pushups. It was humbling at first because I had done zero resistance training for several years. But as you mention, I worked up to 100 or more a day (spread out over 3-4 sets) no problem. And it didn't take long for my then-wife to notice some muscle tone and mass start to form. Eventually I got back into a gym routine with free weights and have stuck with it religiously since.
  2. Shit. Major herp derp on my end. Okay then, let me try again: I know our starting OL was garbage for much of the season, so is Arch going to want significant snaps in a meaningless bowl game behind a that same OL?
  3. Stupid question amnesty: I mean, I know our starting OL was garbage for much of the season, but is Arch going to want significant snaps in a meaningless bowl game behind a new OL?
  4. You don't have to try. It's effortless. But you're our favorite dick.
  5. I don't think his use of the term "uncomfortable" was the equivalent of not sufficiently exerting your body to generate a meaningful workout. I'm not a cyclist, but possibly in very cold conditions the level of exertion on a bike might not warm you up like running. I used run 10+ years ago when my body didn't fight it as much, and often I would run in 20 degree weather. After a couple minutes (in appropriate attire but not bundled like an Eskimo) my body temperature rose enough where the chill didn't bother me. I'm not sure cycling is the same. Maybe similar to lifting weights in an open garage when it's below 40 degrees. That kind of uncomfortable.
  6. Pretty brave of you posting that with Nicole potentially lurking on this thread.
  7. To go work for Georgia the state, not just Georgia the university.
  8. My dad is a former Marine and I grew up in Marine Corps/Navy bases. My dad likes all those Navy boys. Every time he needed to go someplace to fight, those fellas always gave him a ride. Go Navy!
  9. I was a late adaptor to CDs, and I don't even remember hearing about them or seeing them in my local music shops around the 1985 time frame. But this was one of my favorite cassettes as a kid in the mid-80s.
  10. 45: Believe It Or Not (Theme from Greatest American Hero) Cassette: Michael Jackson's Thriller (as a gift), Billy Joel's An Innocent Man (first purchase with my own money) CD: Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion Download: No clue
  11. Not necessarily my favorite, but one of the best and most iconic in my opinion, on an album that is on most lists of best albums of all time. I wish I could go back in time as 12-year-old South Austin and hear this opener for the first time. It can still give me a charge. It was during the rise of the 80s hair bands, but those guys and that song kicked ass in a way that the likes of Poison, Motley Crue, Skid Row, etc. never could.
  12. Reality: [and that's with a very generous curve.]
  13. Take that shit to Cloak Room. Congrats, OP!
  14. Do we know if he got the polio vaccine?
  15. I usually go between Dang Hot and Clucking Hot. T22 used to call no-spice chicken “Wimpy,” but I guess they hurt too many feelings.
  16. Fucking Mormons.
  17. He helped make the shit sandwich when his team lost to Florida.
  18. Really silly of him to be turning down NFL practice quad money.
  19. C'mon guys, it's aggy.
