Of course, you don't need all of that fancy mumbo jumbo. I started training for my first Ironman using a spin bike in the winter. "Pedal five minutes hard, two minutes easy, repeat, etc."

Thanks for the comment, and I know if I train intelligently I'll get where I want regardless... I just feel like I'm missing out on a layer of intelligence by just doing random spin classes when I feel like it.
Granted, I suppose I'm doing this for fitness and health benefits rather than training for an ironman or something!

You've never read *any* of Tolkien's books?
I, like the ancient old fossil, have read them multiple times - I think I've gone through the LOTR series at least 5 times over the last 40 years...
Never read any of them and I was a prolific reader growing up as a kid. Somehow I don't think I'd even heard of them until the films came out.
I'd say yes. I liked the books better but I always do. I do find the movies good though.
Same, in two languages here. I still consider the Tolkien's work to be some of the most beautiful written English.You've never read *any* of Tolkien's books?

The other series was Narnia, I have gone through it a few times.
Im still alive.... one day, i wont be... that is all.... except for work.
I should start an OnlyFans where people pay me to put my clothes back on... i'd be rich.

I have been thinking about rereading Lewis's stuff, which I enjoyed years ago, but haven't, not sure I want to see Lewis's xtian bullshit.

Loved them as a kid. As an adult I was really disappointed. The plot to every Tolkien story can be summarized with "A detailed development of character to the point where the protagonists find themselves in a real pickle where another character mysteriously shows up to save the day without any real explanation or plot development"

Not so fun fact - LOTR was on a list of forbidden books during socialism because of Mordor == allegory of Soviet Union, according to the bolsheviks.
The daily newspaper "The Red Justice" printed this amazing review of LOTR in 1977:
TL&DR; Mordor == soviet block, Orcs == proletariat, Gandalf == chief propagandist of the evil West, Saruman == defender of the opressed. Welcome to socialism!

I just watched the first two episodes of WandaVision and am trying to figure out what the hell that was.
That sure is something. But by definition that is not socialism. That is trying to control a population that was essentially under the control of an invasive force.
I am not quite sure I follow you as all my official documents from those times clearly say "Czechoslovak Socialistic Republic" but if you're suggesting that what is *sold* to people as socialism vs what gets actually *implemented* are two very different things, I could not agree more.
But of course, Murica is special so the outcomes will be different when it happens here.
AND DON’T YOU FORGET IT! ‘ MURICA!!!
