So I'm sitting here, watching The Discovery Channel with theenforcer and spuctasstic and doing a bit of prep for a meeting tomorrow, and an ad comes on that includes the word "jazzercise." I don't think that I've told anyone this before, but I think that "jazzercise" is one of the funniest words in the English language. It's jazz, it's exercise, and you put them ( Read more... )
