Willie's Back on Top

I woke up this morning and I felt this situation needed to rectified before it escalated out of control. The potential aggrandizement came to my attention when Uncle Willie arrived at my place of work with his "Gang". Walking in like they owned the place, Willie spoke for the group with poignant swagger, snapping his fingers on the down beat like a Westside Story Throwdown. I was intimidated! They sat in my section and talking softly, casting beady glimpses filled with distain. When I approached the table conversation suspended tarrying for my exit. Questions were answered with laconic disgust. I knew this could go on no more. 

       "Hey, Willie it's great to see you." I cheerily greet Willie with a handshake and a pat on the back

"Oh, it's him." Willie mumbles to his posse. "I am going to need a low back chair as I don't want to re- injure the wound I received from the stabbing in the back."

                     (I might have slightly exaggerated for emphasis)

 

With conflict smeared across headline news, I have found feuding to be unconstructive. We see the DNC v. Rush Limbaugh, Jon Stewart v. Cramer, Fox "News" v. Accurate Information. These battles are not helping anyone. So I have decided to take the George Mitchell tact of conflict resolution. I am extending a olive branch to Willie. "Why?" some ask. I am truly concerned that he will be overly dehydrated come Wednesday Spin Class if he counties to cry all week. So for the benefit of all, I am conceding that Willie is the true Master of the Universe Spin Extraordinaire. But I am setting some terms. 

            Terms

-I am able to liberally use the word "Fun", "Good Ride", "Easy" and "Liberal Nut" as I see fit

-I reserve the right to blame hard workouts on good ol' Uncle Willie

-Willie is going to ride up in the front of the class right next me as my class example (Dunce Cap optional)

            My Concessions

-I'll corroborate any story about Willie's superiority to me

-I'll make really easy spin sessions and have everyone pretend that they were hard to make Willie feel superior

-Hence forth, any time I refer to the day I teach spin class it will be classified as "Willie Wednesday"


There Willie, you win. Now don't be sending any of your "boys" to rough me up, alright!

Hell Boy

It's good to see equilibrium restored to the universe.
