Climbed into that thing backwards, methinks. Assuming he actually put it together correctly, which is a big assumption.

ANNIE FANS

If you haven’t gotten the word yet we are meeting in the Comments Section of the Annie Archives. We are reading one day’s strip at a time each day and sort of pretending that we’re reading it for the first time each day. Today we are at January 12, 2002. We will always be on the same month and day as the current calendar so we don’t get confused. The idea turned out to be so successful that, at ML’s suggestion, I even righted my avatar. Come join us at

“Some assembly required” – Roger, that is, after that contraption is done with him!

I’ve always wondered about the safety of these gimmicky “exercise” tools and am amazed that there haven’t been more injury lawsuits from them. Especially that door pull-up bar - the bar may be strong enough for “up to 300 lbs” but is the door frame strong enough? And do the bows on the BowFlex ever snap from repetitive stress?

I figure that every 30 minutes of exercise may add 10 minutes to your life span. Seems like a net loss to me.

Ha–good point, ladyfingers!

The worse excercise equipment I foolishly spent too much money on, I used it for a long time and one part of it broke, called the Healthrider. Hurts the back too much. Then I went to waling glider loved it and it broke, skier type two different ones and it gave way, Now have what is like a stere stepper/jogger. Someone came up with wheels on one take outside exercise and move. This guy we know got a skyier type from someone else and I hope this one lasts. Roger you need to get one that is put together and someone shows you how to use the machine.

ROFL!

No, you should be laughing, hysterically.

No you should be laughing Andy, those things aren’t THAT hard to figure out!

saw that same thing yesterday at walmart for 30 bucks
