Tongue Firmly In Cheek

Me went to fix computer for nice lady. She own fitness store. Me no fix computer, but me like her bench that for sale. Her want only nine-d-nine dollars. Me say I come back. I did. Me buyed bench. Then me take bench to brother house, cuz me apartment is too littler for big bench. Now me can exercise on me new bench. I like this.

I shan't infuriate your senses any longer as I feel my point has been adequately made: Take a man's vocabulary, and you take the man. Er, hmm. That didn't come out right. Just, ya know, remember what you could be reading instead of a lush cornucopia of verbiage. ;-)

So yes, I've had a secret crush on getting a weightlifting bench for over a decade, which happens to be how long ago I bought an olympic bar and some weights from a friend. There's only so much you can do without a bench, though, and the price on this unit was just right. It's used, but in near perfect condition. I'm sure I won't use it as much as I would have, had it come to my apartment, but we all have to make due with what we have sometimes.

It appears that this weekend's poker game has been postponed, due to the short cash funds of several key players. To quote a friend, "le sigh". I'm still going to practice my mad shuffling skillz, just in case.
