Scanner : work out

Life Imitates Art, Minus the Thong

Emily Farris — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:15:00 GMT

Scanner Emily here. One of my conditions for moving back to Kansas City was that I would not become a fat Midwesterner (others involved not getting knocked up or becoming addicted to meth). To make sure that didn't happen, I signed up for Boot Camp—three very early mornings a week I work out very hard while a very small woman yells very loudly. She also plays music, generally a mix of 80's, 90's and a bunch of super-contemporary stuff I've never heard. But imagine my excitement when this song came on today—while I was working out!

No one else in the class could understand why I worked out a lot harder while this played.

Getting in Shape for the New Year? Bench Press a Dwarf

Colleen Kane — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:18:00 GMT

I will laugh at many an immature gag, but have never found midget- or dwarf- based humor funny. The whole, "ha ha, they're small, you can make them dress like elves and throw them" never did it for me. With that out of the way, I bring you a nutty tale from across the pond involving little and not-so-little people.

London gym Gymbox at Bank allows patrons to bench-press human weights, ranging from large to, well, little people. Mind you, it's not a gimmick; this method allows the person lifting to visualize the weight. Riiiight. And I'm sure Gymbox' "chav fighting" and "WAG Workouts" (real programs at this gym) aren't gimmicks either.

Video of the Day: Brickhead

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 18:45:00 GMT

Watch this guy, who is clearly more talented than anyone appearing on this week's Top 40 list or on any "reality" competition show, balance a brick shitload of bricks on his head.

We're talking almost two dozen bricks, it seems, by the time he takes off speedwalking... along a gangplank. You'll just have to see for yourself...

More sad news for Jennifer Hudson and her family. [CNN]

Considering we've never seen him live, we should probably see Michael Jackson in concert before his face implodes. [FameCrawler]

LOL-Word Cats -- Oh Yes We Did!

Nicole Pasulka — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:45:00 GMT

LOL-Cats make us more than a little uncomfortable. The second we catch ourselves laughing at one of those "Can I Has Cheezburger" we feel a wave of shame and anxiety and have to immediately go outside and do some kind of "super-cool" activity like shop-lifting or blow.

But, now there are LOL-Word Cats. L Word stills that roam the Internet with incoherent (and inexplicably hilarious) messages scrawled all over them. We are totally, pathetically amused, but maybe it's just because we cheaped out, didn't renew Showtime and missed the whole fifth season of the show.

Oh yeah, and there are LOL Workout photos, too. There are so many lesbians on cable!

Sloppy Seconds: Is Jenna Jameson Moving from Porn to Politics?

Emily Farris — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 21:41:00 GMT

Soccer moms across America would drunkenly make out with Jackie from Bravo's "Work Out." You know, if they had to choose a lady to make out with. [Fleshbot]

If you are one of those moms and would like to see Jackie's digitally-enhanced nipples, go here. [CityRag]

There are so, so many things wrong with the idea of R. Kelly remixing a Mariah Carey track. So, so many. [MTV]

No, Jenna Jameson isn't runnung for office (sorry), but she is dipping her toes in the political waters, or so she thinks. [GabbyBabble]
