Caution Joggers Ahead - ruined by a dick

People still jog, they just call it running now. Saying "jogging" is now like saying "pumps" or "slacks."
Remember Jim Fixx!!

Wanna hear about a stupid thing I did?
Yesterday I was in Little Saigon and there were Vietnamese flags everywhere. I asked the dude at the restaurant if it is Vietnamese New Year and he says "no" so I say, what are the flags for and he says "4th of July". I had missed all the American flags that were right next to the Vietnamese ones.
omg, I totally want this sandwich. and only 8 bucks!

Yeah, Vietnamese New Year is Tet, back in Winter. Ack!
Yep, first generation Vietnamese are more patriotic than you or me. Plus I love that they make a point of flying the three red bars on a yellow field flag.

Haha, I was trying to remember what it was my dad would yell at joggers! Thanks JD. For some reason my dad hated joggers.
"James Fuller Fixx was the author of the 1977 best-selling book, The Complete Book of Running. Best known as Jim Fixx, he is credited with helping start America's fitness revolution, popularizing the sport of running and demonstrating the health benefits of regular jogging. On July 20, 1984, Fixx died at age 52 of a fulminant heart attack, after his daily run on Vermont Route 15 in Hardwick."

no way! your dad would yell that at joggers? (at first I wrote bloggers)
remember that book "real men don't eat quiche"? I am ordering that from amazon right now.
There was a real culture war going on at that time.
I made a frittata once for a work party (not at my current job) and this one old dude refused to even taste it because it was "basically quiche" and "real men don't eat quiche." Unbelievable, but kind of funny. Everyone thought he was joking but he was really honestly uncomfortable about eating it.

i will fill you all in on more things that real men don't do as soon as i get the book (jazzercise? growing ferns? macrame?)
"Get their colors done"
