Spin Class and the Return of Timmy


Your pal once again stepped up to the plate and did a great spin class tod......

Timmy
"Not another spin class post Uncle Willie. Haven't you moved on to other topics for Christ sakes?"

Uncle Willie
"Timmy is that you, I haven't heard from you in about 2 years. Where have you been. And you look terrible."
Timmy "
Oh don't play dumb you know where I was because you arranged it."

Uncle Willie
"What ever are you talking about Timmy."

Timmy
"You sold me to this rug merchant from Uzbekistan who had me making rugs 20 hours a day. The rest of the day I had to pretend that I was Chippendale end table with a lamp and candy dish on my head."
Uncle Willie
"Rococo or Gothic Timmy?"

Timmy "
That's not the point. You sold me into slavery because I was getting on you for too many spin class posts."

Uncle Willie
"I did it for your own good so you could make something of yourself. And I think I accomplished that, in that you were a Chippendale end table for a time. That's something. It could have been worst, you could have ended up a Ikea Klingsbo side table."
Timmy
"What are you talking about, that's crazy. You sold me into servitude. That's cruel and inhuman."
Uncle Willie
Moving right along. You know what I grow tiered of you Timmy. Guards take the boy back to the living room, our guests have no place to set their drink down on at tonight's party."

Now where was I........ As I was setting up for my class I realized that I had left the sheet of paper with the workout at home. I always attach the workout to a clipboard and the clipboard is very important, it indicates that your pal is in charge. With out the clipboard there could be kayos.

I told the class that I was going to wing it. Someone in the back piped up and said

"Why should we trust you. You don't have a clipboard."

After I had that person removed we started the class. This ride I used my favorite decade the 80's for the music. And as the routine went along I started to ask the class if they knew who was singing the song I was playing. The first song was a little obscure 'Love Plus One' by Haircut 100. I have never seen so many blank faces in the crowd and no answers. Ok, on to a little more main stream song, High on You' by Survivor. people started to shout out there guess.....the Beatles.......DOA.......Luciano Pavarotti. Some one please puncture my eardrum with a pencil. No,no,no! OMG what is going on here. And it's not like the class is filled with 20 year olds.

Oh well I made it, but I made a point of warning that there will be test next Wedneday.......60's music.

"I love 60's music, my favorite group are the Mills Brothers." one of the riders shouted out.

Where is that pencil.

80's music is 30 years old. 70's music is 40 and 60's is 50 years old. I get wrinkles just thinking about it. I think you should show everyone how hip you are and do a Dub Step mix. You'd whack everyone out with all the Bass drops. Funny, most of the main stream pop music today has elements of dub step. You probably have know idea what I am talking about so I will call it a night and see you on Monday. Stay current Willie, stay current...

The clipboard is a powerful tool.
