| Longtime homeless bum-ette "Babs" (center) sets hat on fire to keep warm! |
You'll know TV's Richard Simmons from popular TV show Hey! Fatso!, but did you know he's also Ambassador for NYC's Fitness For The Homeless™ Program? Richard stopped by th' IoF© yestiddy to tell us about exciting fitness initiative! We chatted poolside whilst [grammar - Ed.] Kreemé [eighteen my ass - Ed.] served signature clam juice and binwater smoothies!
FT3 Heyyyy! Richard my man! Th' Simster! Still can't afford a pair of pants, huh?
RS My Richard Simmons® ScantiShorts© offer silky freedom of movement with the added support of Neoprene™ gusset technology!
FT3 Enough product placement already! This homeless deal - give us the skinny!
RS Why, everyone can get a lean, buff body like mine with just a few minutes workout - even homeless bums! Let's face it, it's not like they got jobs to go to! (laughs) Anyways, I have to dash, I have an invite to a Soup Kitchen tonite!
FT3 Er ... you may want to watch The Other Guys movie before you commit to this engagement.
RS (winks) Why do you think I'm going?
Uh-oh! Someone threw a swell album in the trash! Can you descry it in above Foam-O-Graph©, readers? Grand deliverable for lucky winner of today's competition!
Easy one Farq, but unknown British power pop band to me... Sounds not bad at all though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eFnmvcDFXk&list=PLwuuUdbwm403JFyK86hHNWHYCAdeq4aMr&index=2
ReplyDeleteIt's a fab album!
DeleteYeah, I actually knew this one. Leader died very young due to cancer.
ReplyDeleteIn 1988 Denise “The Grease”, while walking down the stairs of a subway station (wearing fuck me pumps) took a bad step, and ended up at the bottom of the stairs with her foot broken in several places, and a fractured leg. Due to The Grease’s shall we say, "family connections" and its consequential paranoia, The Grease thought she was pushed, but really was the fuck me pumps.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, she had two surgeries, had a long recovery period, during which time she overate, drank wine by the vat, Grappa by the gallon, and took lots of painkillers. This resulted in her gaining a few pounds, and by a few pounds, I mean 30 pounds. Once she regained mobility and after physical therapy, she started working out to Richard Simmons’ VHS tape ‘Sweatin' to the Oldies’, and dropped 35 pounds. She once played the tape for me, it was one of the campiest things I’ve ever witnessed.
During my incarceration with the Canadian, she used to work out at the house using Simmons' tapes. I was banned from watching her do so. I knew Simmons' brother - he was the CAO for the City of New Orleans under several different mayors (appointed position). Really nice guy who was a great asset for NO city government.

ReplyDeleteI always thought Richard Simmons was the Liberace of physical fitness,
ReplyDeleteRichard Simmons and Billy Crystal - never seen in the same room AND WHY IS THAT??????

I bought the second on automatic pilot and regretted it. Big in Japan, apparently.
Thanks to the swell guy at rideyourpony for his upload - I can't remember your name! Apologies!
ReplyDeleteYou are kind to give thanks.
DeleteI'll thank all the bloggers who keep a roll of "other blogs," and people who mention favorite sites in comments. I don't remember who said something about "Willard's Wormholes" on a semi-literary blog (okay, okay: it was "Thoughts On The Dead"), but it started me on the path of reading and downloading that has made me the happy listener I am today!

There's a blog roll of sorts (very out of date) in the sidebar to the right ...
