Marriage Takes Balls
The day was Saturday. The place was Target. The wife and I were wandering the aisles aimlessly after being unable to find either of the things we came for. The entire trip was a bust. Yeah, we had managed to find her a tank top and me some clearance earbuds for the gym, but they just weren’t going to make up for the wasted trip.
As we perused the store, at this point more interested in finding the exit than continue to be disappointed by this “store,” it occurred to me that we were in the workout section and I had been internally entertaining the idea of getting us a workout ball for the house. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “What self respecting man buys an exercise ball?” Well, this guy does. And you might want to just move on if that’s too much for you to handle. It gets better.
Doing my usual cheapskate price comparisons I see that the Reebok brand ball is $30 while the cheaper Embark brand is only $9. Not a tough decision for what is essentially a big plastic inflatable pool toy, but one that was about to get even easier. Being that I’m a man of the New Millenium, I’m an avid watcher of Project Runway and now its companion show Models of the Runway. Say what you want, but most of those crazy, eccentric designers have more talent in their tiny, calloused pinky finger than pretty much every other reality show contestant combined. Oh, and there are half naked models. So there’s that.
Will we buy the ball? Why am I talking about Lifetime shows? Is this question rhetorical?

Classic Drunk: Peter Lawford
British-born Rat Pack member was most well-known for his film roles as WWII heroes. His puppy-dog eyes and thick eyebrows made him a ladies’ man, and his lust for life made him a celebrity, but he threw it all away for drugs and alcohol.
Peter Lawford was born to un-wed parents. This caused a scandal that drove the family to the United States, where they traveled constantly. Because of his family’s travels, Peter was never formally educated, and his lack of education was a sore subject. It contributed to his low self-esteem later on as a member of the Kennedy family (his brother-in-law was JFK), and throughout his adult life.
Injuring his arm in a childhood accident kept Peter from entering World War II, the greatest thing that could happen to his acting career. Hollywood was infatuated with heroic Englishmen, and as war movies were being churned out by the dozens, Peter Lawford was just what America was looking for.
Once he signed with MGM, his mother insisted that studio head Louis B. Mayer pay her a salary as Peter’s personal assistant. Mayer declined, so Mrs. Lawford responded by claiming her son to be homosexual and that he needed to be “supervised”. When Peter learned of his mother’s actions their relationship was never the same.

It’s a bit hard to understand all the lyrics, but what you can are wonderful. Love these guys. Sad I missed this.
