No.

The original movie is great. The re-make and the stage version are not so much. The same thing happened with "The Producers".

I've seen the remake of that. Way too many times. It was on TV constantly during one of our FL training trips.

Since I was reminded of it, and also saw the musical (it was better) during the same NYC trip, is the original version of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" worth finding?

I'm watching "Supersize Me" now.

It makes me want to punch some people for being stupid.

Did Indian take-out for dinner. The cool part is it was my 14 year old daughter's idea, followed by my 10 year old son saying "Yeah, I love that place"

I'm glad to report that my kids have no interest in McDonald's etc....

True ..... just once in a while here too.... but variety is good. My son was actually brave enough to try escargot.

Hung out with BG today. Had a good time at the portsmouth event. Coaches teammate had a podium which was sweet.

I need to do laundry really really bad, but I think I'm just going to go to bed and do it tomorrow evening. Will get to work early so i can get home on time and put my laundry in, go for a run, and catch up on chores.

I'm super wiped out from today and I didn't even race!

To be fair, he did have a 15 minute gap on the peloton when he attacked the break.

Was 1.5 hours into a 2h interval when the skies just opened up..I was about 4mi from home and it was raining so hard I couldn't see more than 10feet up the road. I got home threw the bike on the rollers....he's some advice kids...don't put a bike with wet tires on rollers..it ain't safe. After about 10min of death deifying roller action I decided to bag it...cracked open a new package of oreo's and watched some Football.

Two guys I know have been on that show. Try out. It helps to be energetic, talkative, and a little crazy.

I've got 2 out of 3. I'm energetic, and I don't think my craziness can be questioned. Talkative, well, maybe.

they seem to like weird outfits. I'd tell them you'll wear a cycling outfit. Oh, and you shave your legs. You'll be a shoe-in.

My plan was to tell them I need the 50K for electrolysis & tanning services. Wear a tank top & short shorts with your cycling tan and you're a shoe in.

I was actually thinking about going back to my swimming roots and wearing a speedo. Since several of the events seem to break down to how quickly you can swim, it seems the most practical thing to wear anyhow.
