Take it from this lazy American... In my spare bedroom we have an elliptical machine, dumb bells, a yoga ball, and two bikes.

I've used one of the bikes one time since I moved in, and the rest has not been used once by either of us.

What will make you a true American is buying this expensive piece of exercise equipment, and then using it to hang wet laundry and false dreams of physical fitness.

As an aside, I would sacrifice my neighbor's first born child for a life time supply of That Green Engineering Paper. Proper technical thought does not occur without your ideas being plotted on TGEP. A guy had some when I was at Nuke School in Charleston, and he WROTE ON BOTH SIDES!!! Obviously he went to a second rate institution. Everyone knows you only write on the fucking blank side.

I had to ritualistically kill him with a slide rule and a protractor. Upon explaining his transgression, the Navy let it slide officially with a warning, and in private with a firm handshake and a "job well done, shipmate!" I considered hanging his head over my television like a wildebeest, but it didn't match the wallpaper.
