Let's see if I remember correctly:
Racquetball = f***ed up knees
Mountain Biking = "Crash Maury"
Just accept your fate as I have accepted mine - there's a reason it's called "fat and happy"....
Who said i'm happy? Maybe i like crashing into trees going 40 mph down a gravel hill? Maybe i like ..............well, popping knees are no fun, but raquet ball is. Gotta do something. I'm useless at my weight. I knew you'd pop up in this thread. :finger

With Bow Flex you won't have many problems at switching between different settings. It might not be the 5 seconds some dork on TV would have you believe, but for me half a minute is about normal.
What I meant by "rearranging my s***ty bench" is that before buying a bow-flex I had an mid 90's Wierner system. It had components which took several minutes to set up, and because it worked with free weights it only took more time to complete a full workout.
I doubt i'm gonna go with bow flex. I just talked to my buddy who is a personal trainer and has 300 lbs in weights and a bench. he'll let me use for a while. all i need is to get some dumbells. Much cheaper way to go.

RPS, I have to go with th go to the club route but in addition to cario and weights I would suggest pilates or yoga, whichever you can find.
Both work excellently for flexibility and for core strengthening.
Don't reject it flat it until you have done it three times in 7-8 days and can see and feel the results.
I'll definatly get to a gym in a few months. After i get a routine and stick with it hopefully i see some results, then i'll pay for a membership. I used to love the gym, but i'm not showing my face there in the shape i'm in.
I dont think i cant handle the yoga. I was into of road mountain biking before and raquet ball. I'd like to go back in that direction. -
That or a little friend called Steroids...I hear Sosa can get ya a good rate
Whenever I see buff guys at the gym, they are all flabby...I got no desire to get huge...and I don't have the work ethic either.
Buiding for size is all about diet , little cardio, and lifting so heavy you start screwing up joints like i did when i was 25. I was just starting a new routine, I got down to the weight i wasnted and i was changing it up to see how much muscle i could but on by going heavier. My shoulder still pays for that s***ty idea.

A good series of Bow-Flex would probably cost you $600, but its worth the investment. Convenience and results were the main keys to convincing my parents. Wasn't into joining some fitness club or having to spend 20 minutes rearranging my s***ty bench to work the different muscles groups.
Now that's what i wonder about. Some people say that adjusting that machine every time is a pain in the ass and you cant got from one exercise to another without stopping for a few minutes. When you're on a fat burning routine, you dont want to be resting longer then a minute screwing around with slides and resisance adjusters. Is it quick once you get to know it or is it a pain inthe ass?

I used to go to the gym, but I'm not all that big on getting huge so running and the ocassional curls and situps was all I needed.
Plus I'm a cheap bastard and the 15 bucks a month was cutting into my budget
I quickly checked ebay and saw one going for like 400, but I dont' know if its a newer version or anything like that.

But as far as a start up set, they look like they can do pretty much everything to me. I mean with resistance you can kind of create you own exercies and all that stuff.
Also a fancier one for like 775

Don't know how the hell u'd get it if you bought it on ebay, but at least it gives you an idea price wise.
When i got in shape a few years back, i wasnt huge. I had decent cut to me , but i did too much cardio to get big. Raquette ball and mountain biking. As long as this bow flex can build muscle and burn fat, i's be happy. If you ever want to get big, you need a gym and few different guys to work out with for that extra push.

I guess scratch the used one idea. I just saw your response on WSI and how they are like 900 bucks used.
Out here I think they have them for around 5-600 used, but not sure. Never really looked just going off what my friend has mentioned.
I'm sure they are a lot more popular in the midwest where you can't really exercise outdoors for a few months of the year.
I don't got that problem out here. I just have my dumbells, and a bench I bought for like 60 bucks and I can run outside and go to the basketball courts or football field by my house.
That's my other option is just getting a bench and dumbells. I'd pay cash for a bow flex if i found one for 500, but i hear everyone selling them for 8-900. If i have to pay that much, i'd just get a new one and finance it.

hey nuke...yeah that was me...i believe it was right before you went to the desert..glad to see you are back and everything is ok (im guessing you are back since you are posting so much)...
hey rps..we need to get together for a few beers...you going to soxfest this year...i think im gonna go just so i can go to the KW Q&A and tell him if he had any integrity whatsoever he'd resign in shame and beg all sox fans for forgiveness
greg , molto and eveyone else..thanks for the welcome back...
I might show up one of the days. I'm having a real hard time getting pumped up for it this year. I really dont want to hear a "pep rally" from KW and Ozzie as they try to bulls*** loyal fans. I'll try to stop in the bar one of the nights. Piss on Sox fest. I'm not spending any money on this team any sooner then i have to . This looks like the mid-80's all over again.

BAGGIO!!!!!!!!!!! Wuzup dude?

Sad to see it go but it was cool while it lasted. The best was this past summer when I kept touting Rowand via AIM while everyone told me to shut up. A few innings later Rowand homered to make it like 10-1 (Sox losing) and when I piped back up everyone yelled WHERE WAS HE FOUR INNINGS AGO WHEN THE BASES WERE LOADED
Ah well it was a stellar program, maybe you can start it back up again if you ever get fired?
Thanx everyone.
Well i hope to not get fired, but maybe when our schedules dont colide like they do now we would be able to do something possibly. As of right now me Killa and Guido all work different shifts and have different off days. That's why we were barly able to get a show a week in. We'll sit this year out and see how it goes.
I dont have any of the cops crashing the party on file because those shows were all done from JoeBatters place and who knows where he is or what happened to his pc. We didnt archive anything on his pc because it was virus infected and came close to imploading during broadcasts.
Hope to tail gate with you guys this year before we watch our minor league baseball team take the field.

Is there any way to publish it on SoxTalk message forum or to e-mail it to me? People say 2002 season was the funniest/best.
What file size are we talking about here?
Thanks, much appreciated.
Most are at least 10 mb. If anything, i can burn them on disk and give them away . I have hundereds of blank disks.
-
I dont have a lot from this year, but i do have some highlights on .wave files.
I have some old stuff. I wish i had the files from when the cops used to try to break up our show. Desplaine's finest got pissed off when they figured out there was a microphone on the whole time .
Those days a t Joebatters place were the roudiest broadcasts we ever had. But, dammit i got sick of the cops coming and JB's white trash neighbors. That guy used to talk s*** and run away when it was time to settle it.
Good times

SnR will not be on air next year and the main site and our boards will go down Feb 1.
It's been a blast for us and it's tough to end it, but we really dont have the time for this. We barly had time to get 1 broadcast a week in. The main 3 guys this year were myself, Guido and CubKilla. We all work different shifts and days so it's really tough to get together. The only reason we did so many shows the first season of SnR is because JoeBatters and I were unemployed.
We've had a lot of good times on air , met some really cool people and I dont regret any of it. I'm just thankful none of use went to jail over it.
The email addresses @soxandroll.com will also be gone Feb. 1. So if anyone wants to meet for a beer at a game or tailgate you can always get me at redpinstripes@yahoo.com
The money it costs to run the station doesnt bother us. It's the time and effort it takes to promote it. If I had that time, SnR would still be around. I get 1 day a week off work normally and work 10-12 hours a day now. So a good off day for me is going to a Sox game instead of sitting in my house announcing one. (sorry)
I's like to thank everyone who listened and supported us. Yeah, we know we sucked, but werent supposed to be professional. Where else could you find a baseball game being announced where there would be a fights, cops yelling at us while they have no idea they were on air, mass quantities of beer and shots done live on air along with hard core Sox fans covering a game? We did it, we loved it, and ya never know...........We could be back one day
Special thanks to those who helped with the website and stations.
Graphics by WinningUgly! and Spiff. Techy work on the boards :Daver. And even that f*** head "The Critic"! He's the one who did all the celeberty call ins to SnR. Yup, the voices of Coach Bill, Macho Man, Shammy, HArray, Stoney and the rest of the puppets. Nice job.
And to Mario Scalise and Jason Gage . They promoted us the last season when Soxnet was up and running.
Thanks a lot everyone. Keep in touch!

Possibly Cubkilla and Biggie Bj. havent talked to those guys in a few days though.
Join us at 12:00 pm ct. We'll review the Sox season, talk about the management candidates b**** about what's wrong with the team and take your emails on your thoughts of the season or future of the Sox.
