Call P90X a fad all you want, but it's a fad that works because the workouts are solid. When I started it approx. 3 years ago I could do about 8 good pullups. I can now easily do sets of 20-25 and have hit 30 at times.

I lost my pinky fingernail after smashing it in between to 45lb. weightlifting plates. It turned good and black, fell off, and eventually grew back. It looks a little different these days, but it's fine now. Though it did take quite a bit of time to grow back. Take some pictures. I wanna see that thing!

Bernie, good luck with Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. You're a better man than I if you can get through it. It is literally Pride & Prejudice with a touch of zombies. It reminded me too much of 10th grade English when I was forced to read the original. I will say also that I loved both Max Brooks books and keep them at my desk at work at all times. If you're looking for something similar to World War Z and are willing to read a comic book to get it - I'd suggest The Walking Dead written by Robert Kirkman. It's excellent. I just picked up the compendium (Books:1-48) for my brother for Christmas. Got it on Amazon for under $40. I just recently finished Robert Novak's memoir "Prince of Darkness: Fifty Years of Reporting in Washington" which was fantastic. If you're even remotely interested in politics I highly reccommend it. Right now I'm reading "Rant" by Chuck Palahniuk. It's a bit more lighthearted than his other stuff, but still disgusting to a degree. I always enjoy his books as he has one of the most sickly imaginitive minds of any author out there.

No accumulation here in Shorewood. NONE! What a nutty storm.

I know exactly what you're referring to, but I have no idea what it is called. I want to say that I've seen those being sold at Cracker Barrell restaurants. http://www.crackerbarrel.com/browse-retailstore.cfm?doc_id=278#5 Ha I was right. I see it right there on the page in the picture. I'd give your local CB a call and see if they have them in stock. Good luck.

I second The XX album. It is one of the best debut albums I've ever heard.

About 3 weeks ago my dad and I were eating at the Original Pancake House on the eastside of Milwaukee. We were just chatting when out of the corner of my eye I spotted a guy that looked an awful lot like Yovanni Gallardo. At first I wasn't sure as his back was to me, but the Ed Hardy t-shirt he was wearing was a dead giveaway. He was eating with his family so I let him be, but as he was paying his bill I decided to say hello to him. Nice dude. Quick hello and goodbye. I was shocked that no one else in the restaurant even gave him a second look. Funny too as there were several college kids sitting no more than 30 ft. away from him all decked out in Brewers gear.

I just started my 4th round of the program yesterday and I love it. 30 days into my first round I cancelled my gym membership and have been working out from home ever since. It was a good decision as I'm in the best shape of my life. Some points about the program: 1. As was said above it's extremely structured so after working out on my own for 8 years it's nice having someone tell me what to do. 2. I love the emphasis on back and abs. It may be a lot at first, but your body adjusts to the workouts. When I first started I was able to do maybe 8 good pull-ups and I can now do a set of 25. Same goes for the abs. I wasn't able to complete the ab ripper disc...but...well to be honest it's still ridiculously difficult. 3. Plyometrics (jump training) makes me nauseous, but in a good way. Every time I finish plyo I literally say "That was the hardest workout of my life." 4. If you're in bad shape right now this will kill you...no really it might. I recommend this program to everybody who is in at least average shape. If you aren't it'll probably sit on your dvd player collecting dust. That's how I got mine. That's all I got.

It's playing at Mayfair now. RAM JAM RAM JAM!!! Great movie.

I'm pretty sure it opens everywhere next weekend.

How bout a flippin Higuera bobblehead already?

Nevermind. Only yes no questions.

I literally gasped.

Absolutely disgusting. Can someone explain why we only get a 2nd rounder now for Sabathia? Thanks.

Jeff Cirillo! He'll be a Brewer forever and he's got really good hair.
