As promised, as if anyone cares...

-I just found out that I've been misspelling the plural of monkey, all of my life. It's "monkeys," not "monkies." The sad part is that I thought I was spelling it like the band name. I just found out that is spelled "Monkees." I won the sixth-grade spelling bee. This is devastating. Monkeys are the only non-human animal that I actually like, unconditionally. A monkey could beat me with a steel beam, and I would think it was the cutest beating ever. I also like watching birds and fish, but I don't want to touch them. You can keep dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes and any other creature you might have as a pet.

-I had another encounter with the Muscle Milk guy from the gym (previous blog entry). I went into the locker room after finishing a leg explosiveness training thing. He was sitting in front of my locker, nude, and blow-drying his entire body. Definitely on steroids. He looked at me and said, "Is that for hops?"

"What?"

"The stuff you were doing. Is that for hops?"

"It increases explosiveness by recruiting neutral muscle fibers and making them fast-twitch... Yeah, hops."

-This is old news,, but my iPod was on shuffle today, and I was reminded that M.O.P.'s "Cold as Ice," is the second worst cover/sample of the past 20 years, behind the new cover of Patrick Swayze's "She's Like the Wind."
