Where's that darned warranty, anyway?

I've made an appointment with my physician to see about this damn knee. It's no longer working according to factory specs and by the gods I want it repaired. I don't care that I have a long-term chronic condition known as "life," I want the doctors to do everything they can to keep me well-maintained, dammit.

I went to the gym today. Five minute warmup on the elliptical trainer, five minutes of bagwork, then a general runthrough: abs, legs, chest, arms, in that order, high weights, low reps (approximately eight each), slow lift and recover. Seems to work for me. Very relaxing, but doing the quadriceps my knee would complain if it was even slightly out of line. And when it goes out while climbing stairs, it can hurt, a lot. Not to mention the whole possibility of falling down the stairs bit.

On a totally different note, remember Cracked! magazine? The sad little competitor to Mad!? Who knew that Cracked! would one day publish the secrets of life?

That Cracked! piece is amazing.

"Counting the photographer, this guy has more friends than the average person." Ouch!

It's only a 40 year warranty...

I always like Cracked better than Mad.

If you figure out where to turn in your defective parts for proper replacement, please let me know. At the very least I'd like the e-mail address of the complaint department; my telepathic link to the universe seems to garble the translation or something.

Ditto on the preference for Cracked. Wittier and far more interesting.

Impressive article, too.
