Row, row, row your machine…

Sorry…. it’s late and maybe I’m just too tired….But tonight a need a little help here…what does “a rowing machine rowing machine” have to do with a 500 meter sprint?

Meanwhile… FinnyGirl, if you stop by…thanks, from yesterday…not true, I’m sure…but thank you.

Is being a rowing machine some kind of new catch phrase?

I watched the Olympic Crew competition yesterday, so I got it.

Then again there was the player piano player (piano…….)(Probably Bruno Zeigerts can spot the movie that was from!)

CoBass! Thanks… and great to see you again!I had no idea rowing machines did “sprints.”Were I to try it, I’d probably end up with splints, instead. And yeah, I was taking it as “rowing machine machine”, in the sense that people say “He’s a real eating machine” or “fighting machine.”If that extra “rowing” means anything, I don’t see it.

Godfreydaniel – I’ll just say the reference is to Eyhel Toffelmeier, to put my oar in.

@Jerry CarlsonYep, from “The Music Man” with the mayor a little flustered and losing track of players and pianos and player piano playing people…….
