Free Advice With a Side Of Cheap Entertainment…

December 1, 2008

in Because I Like To Ramble

When I decided to join the bloggy community, it was my intention to make this blog so much more than just another form of cheap entertainment.

Not that cheap entertainment is not fabulous. Its just that cheap entertainment, fun as it is, is so easy to find. So, to make this blog much more than that, I either need to charge you per visit or provide you, my loyal blog fans (all three of ya) with substance.

And since our economy is already faltering, I’m guessin’ not many of you would hang around if it meant you had to pony up some coin.

That being the case, how about I just offer up some advice.

For free.

Yes, that’s right. I said free.

Tell me. Where else can you go to get free advice with a side of cheap entertainment? And, since you’re already here, you might as well stick around for my daily dose of crazy. Grab a Dr. Pepper and get comfy.

If you ask me (not that you did, but IF you did), I would suggest……

That your next cinema experience include this guy… 

 

Internets, I laughed my butt off.

Seriously, my butt is still there and all that, but I cackled like a little kid. The folks at Disney outdid themselves with this one. My sincere apologies to Lightning McQueen who until recently had been ‘top-dog’ in the animated category of my humble mind. Sorry, pal, this dog outdid ya. Oh, and to the sorry sap designing the required 3D glasses for this flick, some lighter glasses would be appreciated next time. McDaddy commented that they made me look like Poindexter. My first thought was that they looked like Drew Carey, but, the movie was a hit, so I didn’t pay much attention to the extra $2.00 they charged for those nerdy glasses.

Anyhoo. Movingrightalong.

For a tasty new menu treat, I’d suggest you stop at Bob Evans and try this….

It’s the Chicken Fried Chicken Deep Dish Dinner and it is fabulous. Your arteries will likely be gasping for air afterwards, but you should know it will totally be worth it. They should call it chicken squared slathered in gravy atop hot buttery biscuits. I’m hungry just looking at it.

Now that you’re good and hungry and maybe even snacking on some leftover pumpkin pie, let’s talk about a great form of exercise.

Try this just once….

I began Zumba six weeks ago and now do it one day per week adding it to my weekly workout regimen. Granted regimen is a fancy word for my time in the gym. (Side note: I look nothing like that gal up there, nor do I look anything like our sweet Zumba instructor). I suspect I look more like Cloris Leachman than Brooke Burke at Zumba, but I do enjoy it and just for fun, I inserted this…..

little chip into my shoe and the receiver into my iPod so that I could calculate the calories burned and miles travelled.

And now that I’ve peaked your interest, my shoes look like this….

And the left shoe holds the chip that you see up there.

The chip when accompanied by the little receiver thing in my iPod transmits all manner of exercise information to my iPod that can be downloaded and shared on Nike.com. (Not that I would share my info because it is not at all impressive). During this particular Saturday morning Zumba class we burned 340 calories in 55 minutes and travelled 3.04 miles.

Substance.

Isn’t that what I said?

So much more than just plain entertainment.

You can thank me later.

Just Sayin’
