smelly people at the Y, and other random thoughts

so i go to the Y pretty much everyday before work, and also on my days off. while no longer a physical specimen, i can still more than hold my own, which is important in my line of work.

i've been holding this in for some time now and can no longer contain myself. some of the fuckers down there need to reacquaint themselves with irish spring. while on the ARC trainer the other day a kid about 17 got on the one next to me. this joker smelled like an old cat box. then there is the old retired air force dude, i suspect is married to a korean, because he always stinks like kim-che. for those of you unfamiliar with that nasty dish, its main ingredient is rotting cabbage. i can smell that dumb shit from easily 15 feet. today, a 50ish woman came past, got on a stepper and nearly knocked me off mine. the B.O. was that bad.

people, i know we all come in to work up a sweat, but GOD DAMN!! would it hurt to wash your ass with a bit of regularity and mix in a little pit stick now and again? FUCK. we had a way with dealing with smelly bastards in the army and it involved a big scrub brush for cleaning truck tires. very effective at sending a message. i might have to go to the surplus store and buy a couple.

between bouts of gagging on various odors emitted from other members, i get to watch day time t.v. weekdays are shitty cause the women want to watch the view. today the fat women on the show were discussing the merits of being fat, if they really are, in fact fat?! WTF? the only one on the whole show who looks decent is elizabeth hasselbeck, and i'm not convinced she isn't bulimic. whatever, at least she is conservative.

sunday is another shitty t.v. day at the Y, as they had on face the nation. some dem- a- dork was on bitching about how republicans are fanning the flames of hate with/through the TEA PARTY MOVEMENT. hey shit for brains, what about code pink, cindy sheehan, the black panthers, SEIU, ACORN, the huffington post,the daily kos, etc? that's right AMERICA, if you disagree with the chosen one you are a racist fuck, and if you exercise your rights to freedom of assembly and speech, you are a group of racist fucks.

i also found out on msnbc of all places, that the washington post did a survey which revealed that nearly 60% of AMERICANS think even with the obie/pelosi/reid health care goat fuck things will only stay the same or get worse!! all that and a bag of chips, for the low, low price of $960 billion dollars. thank god the democrats are looking out for me.

the other night i heard bill o'reilly talking about the terrorist bombing in moscow, and wondering why the russians won't help us combat islamic terrorism. because asshole, during the first chechnya war, bill fucking clinton obstructed the shit out of the russians, who brutally tried to end a brutal rebellion, in their own fucking country. imagine the russians or anyone else telling us how to deal with our inner city gang problems, and lobbying the U.N. to sanction us for whatever action we took. then we expect them to help us? we are helping them by siphoning off fighters who would normally attack russian targets, by virtue of our 2 wars. they are in no hurry to intervene on our behalf, even as they stand to gain from a joint effort.

this morning, NPR had on some bleeding heart lib who bemoaned the fact that the russians are committing human rights violations in chechnya, and essentially blaming the russians for the moscow bombing. nice try dumb ass, ever heard of BESLAN? your poor, oppressed chechens slaughtered 334 men and women, including 186 elementary school age children, many of whom they raped and tortured.

oh, i know what i'm talking about too, as not only did i read JOHN GIDUCK'S book, TERROR AT BESLAN, i also paid to see his presentation on the incident. it included captured or found chechen "home movies" of chechen terrorist shooting off soldiers fingers, cutting off heads, slowly, of live captured russians. the list goes on, and it sure as fuck didn't leave me with any impression that the chechens are just some peaceful sheep farmers, wanting to tend their flocks and be left alone.

lastly, on the way home tonight, i heard some stories out of average britian. seems a women got reported to police because she helped a school kid out of a tree. i guess over there if junior shimmies up the oak, his ass stays and the teachers all retreat to the safety of the school to "observe" said deciduous acrobat. they wouldn't want to distract the lad apparently and cause him to fall. proving no good deed goes unpunished, the woman was reported to police for trespassing.

as if that wasn't dumb enough, a 66 year old woman was fined a 1000 pounds(?) put on curfew and has to wear a electronic tether for...........selling a gold fish to a 14 year old. seems our british cousins feel it is a crime to sell pets to anyone under 16 years of age. drugs, rampant violence in south london and the cops are focusing on illegal gold fish trafficking. i would say i'm glad to be an AMERICAN, but with the crew we got running shit in washington, i wonder how long it will be before i end up in the klink for helping a little old lady across the street.
