Small Slice

The fog has settled low and cold over my neighborhood.  On my way home from dropping my two oldest kids off at school, I saw a jogger go by.  From the warmth of my van, I scoffed at this balding dude, running in what appeared to be flowered swim trunks with his wife's Christmas sweatshirt.  But then it dawned on me that I was driving and he was running.

Who is the loser now, BigSlice?  Huh? 

Anyway, I got the new Brookstone catalog yesterday, and flipped through it with a practiced eye.  The inlaws like gadgets.  But unsophisticated gadgets.  I'm thinking one of those digital photo frames would be good, and pondering the choices when I turn the page to this:

Now granted, I find exercise equipment problematic, for the simple fact that you actually have to use it.  I wondered if there were any demos of this thing.  I did a quick search for OSIM iGallop, and turned up this video.  Go on, go watch.

Well.  That beats the heck out of the Ab Lounger, if I do say so myself.  You're supposed to wear go-go boots and cowgirl hats.  FUN FUN FUN, am I right?

Even better are the other videos of people trying out the iGallop.  Man, I want one.  How hilarious is this thing?
