There's no way they could do the hand bike! And whatnot.

Seriously, this guy Justice makes Hulk look small.

Edit again: the women are more of a size, I guess, aside from Hellga -- last year's winner is the same size as the other gladiator in the event I have on now (delayed).

I love you people.

My cats are weirded out by me being so close to the floor (I have the futon folded in half on the floor.) They keep coming up to me to check in. Now, MK does that in a quest for attention all the time, but he's doing it more. And Devi is just bewildered.

And tomorrow there will be the trauma of boxes! and strangers! and smells! Not to mention new furniture to navigate. Heh.

ION, I can tell I was holding and bouncing babies most of the day yesterday. Sore muscles in the arms and chest.

OMG, Jesse, did you see the end of the one that just aired? I suppose this is technically current season, and I have to whitefont:

"Oh, you know, I dislocated my shoulder, and then I popped it back in."

What, are you INSANE?

See that handbike thing is killer. I would make a token effort, then drop down and climb up. You don't lose any points for doing that, and it's such a huge expenditure of energy to try and fail.

No, a TRUE WARRIOR. (Yikes!)

Although, they've made it slower to get back up with the ball pit. Last season, I thought some people actually made up time dropping off the handbike.

On the old show, the Gladiators used to be waiting at the bottom to enforce a time penalty for people who fell.

(Is this the most ridiculous thing I'm slightly geeky about? Hmm.)

That makes more sense. I mean, if there's no penalty for falling off the handbike, what's the point? It's not like it's faster.

Oh, that would be better.

ION, I've had a sore throat all day and have been coughing some. I'm going to be PISSED if this is a cold and not allergies or something.

uh oh. sounds kind of like what i have and i'm fairly certain it's a cold because i've been running a fever on and off.

I thought i remembered something like that, but it's been so long since i'd seen it i couldn't be sure. the handbike thing is just insane. i couldn't do that if someone was chasing me with a chainsaw wanting to hack me into itty bitty bits.

Bah! I will keep my fingers crossed. And I guess I should have gone to bed early, but ehn.
