False Advertising

So last night after dinner, Mr Bob and I had Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Mr Bob grabbed the container of New York Chocolate fudge and I quietly cackled in glee because the other container (kinda hidden) was Cherry Garcia, which is both of our favorites.

I got the container and looked closely. It was Low Fat yoguert! WTF? If I want healthy I have a carrot stick. When I want ice cream, I want real full fat, chocolate stuff yumminess.

I have to say, it's pretty good, but not quite as completly swoonworthy as the real deal.

Aside from ice cream, I wanted to discuss my gymness. I have two goals and perhsaps listing them will spur me to . One is to find my abs. I'm certain they are there somewhere. I think I had some in high school, but to be honest, I don't remember. The other is to bench press my body weight (which I know I did in high school). They have TV's in the gym so I like going there and I'm really enjoying it right now. Next week I think I might even try making the exercise machine move while watching TV.
Current Progress:
Abs: Invisible stealth abs (but can be found by poking with thumb through flab so I know they are there, really)
Bench Press: 70 lbs (4 reps)

Also, I need some input on my research. For a radical initiator, should I use UV light or AIBN? And should I deposit my diamond on Tantalum or Niobium?

Have fun at the gym. Those sound like attainable goals.

As for the other? I think you should use UV light. It's more realistic. And depositing the diamond? Should happen right.here.

You are so macho.

Now get me some ice cream.

My guess is that it depends on what you are trying to initiate radicals in, but I think UV light would work best. No idea on deposition, though. *smooch*

So is it a bad thing to actually bring the cheetos into the gym with me for my tv watching? How about a beer? How about electric Kool-aid.

Cherry Garcia! Mmmmm! Next time you're in Poutineland, try some M&M's Bordeaux Cherry Swirl and tell me which you prefer.

I'd use me for lights. *grin*

Agree. Ice Cream should be total fat yumminess.

Good luck with your goals. I'm sure you can do it. Hand over those cheetos girl!!!

As for the rest? *head tilt* I can only say DIM light would not be a good thing *grin*

I was rummaging in the freezer for something to thaw for dinner and discovered an almost-full container of Bear Claw ice cream.

Guess what I had for lunch?

Yummy! Bet you were smiling after that.

Bear Claw ice cream? Sounds interesting...

*shakes pompoms*

Go Bob Go!

I vote for aibn, because that was my old work email address: myname@on.aibn.com.

mmm ice cream....

Maybe I should head home now and eat ice cream and think about UV light versus AIBN. Yeah, that's right..think about my research.

Hey! I know what Niobium is!

*whacks Bob*

I know you know it's element 41 and a transition metal with a molecular weight of 92.91 grams/mole. It readily forms carbides and is used in razor blades.

I don't know why I'm being *whacked* in my own blog. Isn't there some rule against that?

Oh my heck! I'm glad I read your last comment, Bob. I was just about to say I thought it was element 42 and a transition metal with a molecular weight of 92.91 grams/mole.

Imagine my embarrassment when I realized I was off by a number. *whew*
