TMF's new adversary

The Mighty Fang has a new enemy. "Whack!" sez he with his paw. "Whack whack whack!" he sez again. And his tail goes twitch, twitch, twitch... Sadly, a still photo cannot capture his tail twitching. And I never captured him whacking this evil interloper crouching in his living room like a, like a, err, exercise bike. I looked over and he was whacking the pedal with his paw with claws extended. Whack. Whack whack. By the time I got the camera out he'd moved to the front and was staring at it with an evil glare while his tail twitched. Meanwhile, in the far background you can see Mencken moving this way from the kitchen...

Meanwhile, here's my latest advice for stupid people. If you are a stupid person, buy an exercise bicycle for $550, then for the next two years use it as a handy repository for loose clothing. That way, when my orthopaedic specialist advises that I ride 45 minutes a day for 5 days a week in order to help get my knees back into the game (starting at 5 minutes a day and adding a minute a day as my knees get better), I can look on Craigslist and see that you're selling it for $50 and come take it off your hands. And once I'm done terrorizing my cats with it, I can sell it for $50 on Craigslist. What a deal!

    The only thing what would make sense to me about such a machine is if it made electricity or heat.

    I'm back from camping and have started posting CAMPING PICTURES

    ...the "stupid people" concept works nicely for treadmills, too....
