Gaggle of Giddy Giggling Girls


This is a common breed of human here in the college town of Boston. They can be spotted virtually anywhere, but tend to flock in and around bars, especially bars offering discounted appetizers and low priced beer.

Each individual member of a flock resembles the other members of the flock. For example, all may have long blond hair, or all may wear short skirts and tube tops. They stay very close together, even when relieving themselves in public restrooms.

Breaking one apart from the flock can be exceedingly difficult for the male of the species. Said males often watch from a safe distance. The males are their own breed, and will be discussed in a future post.

Oddly, these same girls can complain that "there are no guys here."

Once they have fed and drunk, their voices become high pitched and loud, some have called these voices "shrieking." Hearing one call out in this voice has been known to make others jump out of their seats in shock. At times a casual viewer will be tempted to slap them. Be advised, though, that while these girls may appear weak and inconsequential, when provoked they can wreak serious damage on a person's bodily area. I advise you to do nothing provocative in their presence. Please. It is for your own safety.

Do you have these creatures in your town?

The art is French Impressionist painter Renoir Pierre Auguste The Bathers, 1887. He was one of the great worshippers of the female form, and he said "I never think I have finished a nude until I think I could pinch it."

My New Gym


Today is my first day at my brand spanking new health club. I even have a personal trainer. Woo hoo!

The place is huge, and new, and clean, unlike any gym I've ever been to. My trainer Lesley did a fitness assessment. I am not in as bad of shape as I thought. My fat percentage was 15 on my belly, and 25 on my triceps and quads (those are the upper backs of my arms, and thighs to the unfit among us). :) Good thing they didn't test the fat content of my ass. That would be more like 90% fat, I think.

My cardiovascular endurance was Average, which is better than I thought it would be. I could do a grand total of 6 - yes, count 'em - 6 - push ups!

Guess I'll have to quit smoking now and be some kind of healthy person. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted!

Do you go to a gym? How is it?

The art is Bather Stretched Out On Floor by French painter Edgar Degas, 1886.

Birthday Girl!


That would be me. Please wish me a happy birthday, or well, you know. :)
