Or Arnold. Either's good.
 
When all else fails, try McBane.

Aside from that, putting one foot in front of the other CAN be enjoyable. I only posted Monty Python half-jokingly. Well, the video was a joke, but the point is that if you're just plodding along because of an Eeyore "because I have to," yeah, it's nothing special. On the other hand, my personal thing when not in public is teaching myself how to fight similar to Traditional Drunken Boxing (or Traditional Drunken Style Kung-fu), which relies on you being able to
  1. move fluidly
  2. keep in constant motion
  3. hone your balance

So around the house, like, say, grabbing a glass out of the cupboard, milk out of the fridge, pouring it, putting the milk away, drinking out of the glass, and putting it in the dishwasher, the only points where I'm not moving are when I'm pouring and drinking. It's a great exercise for your coordination and doing it has really put me at ease with how my body works, so I'll have all four limbs doing something different all at once and it's quite frankly a blast.


Edit: I'd complain about being double-ninja'd, but really, is anyone surprised? :J

THIS WAS THE POINT OF THE JOKE.

I PURPOSEFULLY USED RIDICULOUS HYPERBOLE AND COMPARED IT TO THE MECHANICAL WALK OF PUTTING ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER FOR THE SAKE OF COMEDY!

Do you get it now?

I get that you're Krylo, and thus, not funny, Is that what I'm supposed to get? Do I win? Do I get money? treats? sexual favors? I got IT! what do I win?

If he uses IE, it can be found here and will appear after clicking OK and hitting Alt+F4. :p

She actually just said that she enjoys walks, which just seemed to be lacking effort. You gotta supply a location with that, or a preposition or adverb or whatever, as Krylo illustrated. "I enjoy walks TOGETHER" or something along those lines. The main thing with me is she followed that with "enjoys games and movies and etc." other sedentary activities that don't lend themselves to a love of physical exercise very easily. I figured she just felt that "walks" were required for singles ads and threw it in there.

I myself love long HIKES in the woods, which is a bit more of an assertion, as it implies an effortful attempt to journey to and from a given destination. Walking is pretty blase. Anyone can walk. You can walk up an incline, but you can only HIKE up a hill and/or mountain.

Premmy 11-28-2009 12:29 AM

I could also Hike Up my pants *badum-TISH*

Amake 11-28-2009 05:45 AM

In the old days they'd use "walk" as a synonym to "talk". They understood that strolling together is highly conductive to conversation. As you move your thoughts are set in motion, and the breeze stirs your mind as the sight of the sky opens it.

I'd stick with calling it "strolling" though, or hiking or prowling or frolicking or even riding the apostle-horses. "Walking" these days implies a mode of transportation from point A to B, not a social activity. I think.

Yeah, I don't think all of those really work for a dating ad. "I like prowling the city streets in the downtown area" really doesn't come off well. XD

Magus 11-28-2009 10:55 PM

Sounds like a singles ad from Rorschach, that.

bluestarultor 11-28-2009 11:00 PM

Sounds like an implied "looking for easy prey" to me. :J

Looking for easy prey?

On a singles site?

Well hell, if she's cute, I'd respond.

It almost be worth the chances of her being a psychopath. XD

Speaking of dating adds...

A couple more here.

... I couldn't believe that was real. Then I saw this:

Quote:

Do you enjoy attending classical jazz concerts? Do you ever close your eyes and pretend you’re watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon? Me too! Inexplicably single Miles Davis, Hanna-Barbera enthusiast (M.78), seeks giggling brass fan. No strings.
It's like these people are desperate for some or there's a contest the rest of the world doesn't know about. Who could possibly win "Craziest Dumbass of the year" award for a personal ad?

Premmy 11-29-2009 10:27 PM

What's wrong with that ad? That guy sounds fun.

Jagos 11-29-2009 10:32 PM

Childish too for a 78 year old. It's just funny what comes up.

Premmy 11-29-2009 10:33 PM

old people can't like cartoons? so what, you're gonna stop being a geek when you hit seventy?

Loyal 11-29-2009 10:57 PM

"Childish" stops being an applicable adjective once one hits sixty or so. Haven't you heard of senility, or a second childhood? Why do you think there are so many stories about awesome old people?

Jagos 11-29-2009 11:45 PM

Yes, I have a bias. If he had said anime, then he'd be a cool old dood.

But I wasn't a fan of Thomas and Gerrold from back in the day.

Quote:

Seriously guys...

"I love cartoons but I want no strings sex"

"I love jazz. I hope you love sausage."

If that isn't a non-sequitar, then I don't know what is. There's the funny right there.

Premmy 11-29-2009 11:59 PM

sooo, you're a grumpy old man and you hate fun ones? cause we already Have Funka for our grumpy old man.

Jagos 11-30-2009 12:29 AM

I can't stop laughing. I'm really going to have to start putting [/sarcasm] on the end.

Premmy 11-30-2009 01:35 AM

Hey there, young man!
 
Look, if you're gonna be our old black man, you better dispense wisdom like a vending machine, grow a beard, maybe a braided one, depending on how afro-centric you are, get some cool stories, and I'm gonna have to start titling every response to your posts like this, I really hope you know how to respond,

Jagos 11-30-2009 01:43 AM

You crazy kids...

Alright, I could always tell the old stories about my trip to the Phillippines. *gets into his rocking chair*

Now who's first? Come sit on granpa's knee.

Premmy 11-30-2009 01:53 AM

Silly grandpa, people don't let their kids sit on anyone's knee anymore

Jagos 12-03-2009 08:41 AM

What? They changed the rules on me? Well, now they get lumps of coal.

I'm really not that old guys.

25 IS NOT OLD! OH GOD WHY?!

TheDarkChocobo 12-07-2009 03:06 AM

All you need is a million dollars.... just watch Office Space and you know what i'm talking about.

"What would you do with a million dollars?"

"I'd tell you what i'd do... two chicks at the same time."

Jagos 12-07-2009 07:59 AM

Pshaw. I'm Santa! You tell them they've been naughty this year and you're gonna spank them and you can get that.

DFM 12-07-2009 11:19 AM

I was really confused why the OP wanted me to tell everyone I meet that I'm the Earl of Lancaster in the most dickish way possible as soon as I meet them.

Professor Smarmiarty 12-07-2009 11:26 AM

Any gentleman of distinguishable worth would be able to tell you that merely on perusing your regalia and assortments. Those who cannot are not worth your attention.

DFM 12-07-2009 03:40 PM

Word, that's what I'm sayin'
