• Ok, just for the record I am not a complete chauvinist pig… _you have no idea what I’m talking about right?_ I was a guest presenter on the most excellent sports podscast the “Skinny on Sports”:http://www.skinnyonsports.com/ for their “awards show the Skinnies”:http://www.skinnyonsports.com/2005/03/23/the-skinnies/ and during my announcement of Hottest Female Athlete I said “Maria Sharapova – she’s seventeen, but as long as there is grass on the field…”

    If you listen to the skinny on sports, like I do, you might know that Maria Sharapova is a tennis player and a very good one at that. I was only commenting that as long as there is grass on the field… she can play tennis… This of course is completely incorrect, as an athlete playing tennis she can also play on astroturf or clay. I just wanted to make this appology to anyone female or not, who felt I was discriminating against those that play on alternative surfaces. Again I oppologise.

    So please allow me this slight correction “as long as there is an appropriate surface to play tennis on.”

    Please go take a listen to the “Skinney on Sports”:http://www.skinnyonsports.com/ and thank you Skinneys!

    In New York we have these pizzerias that all battle for the title of Original Rays, Famous Rays, Original Famous Rays, or the most popular Famous Original Rays. This Rays down on 12th Street is my Famous Original Rays. I went there for the first time when I went to elementary school at P.S. 41 back in the day. I still remember that the slices had a lot of cheese.

    Where is your Rays?

    bq. *Ree:* Have you seen Jerry Lewis recently? He looks bad.
    *FB:* No, but the last time I saw him he was really fat.
    *Ree:* Maybe he has some sort of disease or something?
    *FB:* Yeah, the Fatty-Fat Pants disease.

    From then on, whenever we would talk about people being fat, or ourselves feeling fat we referred to it as _the Jerry Lewis Disease._

    Currently I am suffering from a mild case of _the Jerry Lewis Disease…_ I think it’s time to hit the gym more than once in a blue moon as my current work out routine has been. So I guess now I have to set up a target goal or something? How about I agree to loose an Olsen Twin’s worth of weight? That can’t be more than 20 pounds, right?
