Title: Wally-world folks
Post by babyhog on 07/09/10 at 12:48:37

Have you seen this website? I've gotten emails of the pics before, and I knew they had a dedicated site, but hadn't visited it before yesterday. I know its not nice to make fun of people, but holy cow! I find it difficult not to, in so many of these cases. What are these people thinking?

Anyway, if you aren't offended by laughing at "odd" folks, you might enjoy this half as much as I did. (please don't think I'm terrible...)

Of course you're not terrible but I was more amused by the vehicles in the http://www.youdrivewhat.com/ link at the top of the page. (I posted the Red Bull separately.)

1 I stand corrected -- there are people who look worse than aging, out of shape central or eastern European men in speedos!

2 At what point does a person get up, look in the mirror and pick out clothes that emphasize, rather than minimize, the weak points of their appearance?

Jack Lalanne was 5'5" and 205 that makes him morbidly obese by all the charts.
Why don't we spend a fraction of the money used for weight related issues to make the things we should eat taste like the things we want to eat?[/quote]
not a bad idea,like deep fried broccoli.Yesterday we had "Turkyrama
Days" in down town Mc Minnville,all kinds of stuff going on, there was a
catering truck actually selling Deep fried Hershy bars,and apple pie,
even had eskimo pie deep fried.How fat are we getting ? I couldn.'t buy a small bag or fries,only large and giant size most came with chily and cheese,elephant ears,now why cant they sell puppy ears ?
makes me sick watching all the people waddling around shoving food in to there faces.

The LaLanne file

Name: Jack LaLanne.

Age: 90.

Home: Morro Bay, Calif.

Height, weight: 5-foot-6, 150 pounds.

Biography: Describes himself as sugar-addicted, malnourished and suicidal as a youth until he was 15, when he heard a nutrition specialist speak in Oakland, Calif. Immediately became a vegetarian and began working out vigorously. In 1936, at 21, opened a gym in Oakland that’s believed to be America’s first modern health club, complete with a health-food store and juice bar. Advocated weight lifting for athletes 30 to 35 years before it became common practice. Invented numerous weight machines, including cable pulleys and leg extensions. Became the country’s workout guru in 1951 as star of the first nationally syndicated workout program, “The Jack LaLanne Show,” which aired for 34 years.

Current workout regimen: Trains for 2 hours a day, seven days a week, from 5 to 7 a.m. Spends about an hour doing aerobic training in a swimming pool, including swimming in place with a custom-designed harness, and doing laps using various strokes, usually wearing paddles and flippers to increase resistance. Spends the rest of the workout in the weight room. Does about eight sets per exercise, all sets to failure. Generally takes short rests between sets, usually about 15 seconds. Changes his weight-lifting routine every month. Will go a month using lighter weights and doing, say, 20 repetitions a set, then might increase the weight and 10 repetitions per set, or even more weight and six repetitions. Works on different body areas each day. Has exercises for all muscles, including hands, feet and neck.

Feats and accomplishments: At 42, he did 1,023 push-ups in 23 minutes on the TV show, “You Asked For It.” Was named Professional Mr. America in 1954. At 60, he swam handcuffed from Alcatraz to Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco Bay while towing a 1,000-pound boat. At 70, he pulled 70 boats holding 70 people 1½ miles through the harbor in Long Beach, Calif., while handcuffed and shackled.

Quote to remember: “Dying’s easy, any stupid person can die. Living is a pain in the butt. You’ve got to work at living. And remember, the food you eat today is walking and talking tomorrow.”

If you think Wal-mart is bad, go down to Flea-land early on saturday morning for a real eye opener! It's like a county fair every weekend.

I've been to many a flea market ... tha tis really where clueless people sell stuff to other clueless people (I am not talking about people buying chickens and tomatoes). I have bought things so cheap ... and seen people ask 5-10 times what they are worth ... worse yet, people drag stuff out of goodwill and dump em there ... think about it, people dump stuff off @ goodwill cos they cant sell em ... and promptly there is people who buy that crap and attempt to turn a profit @ a flea market ...
Cool.
