And Naomi: you are SO right. You should take to my wife – she gets so pissed at mothers who can’t control their kids.

“Johnny, stop that”. Johnny pays no attention.

“Johnny, I mean it”. Johnny knows better.

“No dessert if you don’t stop now”. Yeah, right: Johnny again knows that’s a lie.

“Don’t make me come over there” As if she’d get her lazy ass out of the chair..

“Johnny, stop that or I’ll tell Daddy” Yeah, like THAT matters, Da’s as much of a fool as she is.

“Johnny, please stop”. Oh, that’ll work..

Idiots..

One thing about hanging out with the world class athlete: it’s sometimes good to help those “below you”

About ten years ago I had a “gym friend” – we’d usuall come at the same time and work out together. We are about the same weight and height, oh maybe he’s a few inches shorter but basically the same. I’m 5-11, 180, he’s maybe 5-8, 165. He’s ten years younger than I am.. and my wife says he’s better looking but I don’t buy that

At the time, I could bench press 210 lbs and he’d struggle with 140. He couldn’t understand how I could be so much stronger, so I started coaching him and showing him how you get to lift more (for those that don’t know: you have to push. You’ll never bench 200 by lifting 120 thirty times. You need to challenge yourself with weights you can barely move).

Anyway, by showing him and coaching him, we both increased. He got up to 300, I peaked at 275, but my point was that we each improved one another.

Now maybe working with Schwarzenegger would have been better, but we both improved..

Like the site SO much better black on white – I had already RSSed you but definitely will keep it now

@naomi: michelle tells me all the time that it’s the parents, but when are these little fuckers going to own up and take the responsibility for their actions?

I thought I hated kids for the longest time, and then I realized that the people I actually hate are parents. I am wildly permissive with my own children, but one of the things they learned early is Do Not Fuck With Mummy. I will let them get away with murder, but when I give them the look and very quietly say their name in that tone they know I mean business. A whispered, “Michael, stop that now, please” will strike fear in the heart of my eight-year-old and his brother is starting to follow suit.

This is why it makes me totally fucking insane that other people having screaming children in public places. I’m like, it’s not hard, people! They’re screaming because you let them.
