I took my first computer programming course in 1981 - but since it was BASIC I'm pretty confident that doesn't count.

I'm frequently ahead on various fashion "trends," but first 1%? I'm pretty sure not. And anyway, that has more to do with my diligently sticking to what I like and think looks good rather than any prescience on my part - just about everything with any redeeming qualities is in and out of fashion fairly regularly.

I kinda like Sidd's baldness.

Question, based on the rest of the world's population...how many people would it take to not be in the 1%?

exercise question
 

What about Pabst Blue Ribbon? Same deal?

Ok, the yoga discussion reminded me of a question I have been meaning to ask. I was going to do this anonymously, but what the hey -- I mean, the FB is a warm, welcoming home.

I have apparently reached what paigow (paraphrasing DS, I think) has coined the "ass or face moment" of my life. Yes, I need to exercise.

So, since I am an ignoramous, I want to have someone tell me what to do and when to do it. But I don't want to just place my trust in some random bozo at the local Gold's Gym franchise -- or do I? I could ask around for recommendations, but the few people I know who work out regularly are either jerks or have been doing it long enough that they don't use a trainer anymore.

How does one go about finding a trainer? Is there some sort of licensing or certification one should have? Or should I just head over to Curves and try to get into the spin classes?

Or paraphrasing Catherine Deneuve -- same difference.

Click on Tools in the toolbar. Click on Internet Options. Click on Clear History. Then click on OK. If you find yourself needing to do this a lot, set up Days in History to be 0.

You probably want to clean out your cache too. Tools-->Internet Options-->Delete Files-->OK-->OK.

Well, now that's an interesting question. For the computer thing, I was sort of assuming "US" was the relevant universe. For clothing, I was sort of assuming it was "people who'd care."

Huh.

Whoops. (Fact-checking ability, too? You definitely have the editrix skilz.)

Dude, the chicks in those BYO joints probably just graduated from training bras. Cut them some slack.

Reason #56 I don't go to strip clubs.

exercise question
 

Most gym trainers are a bunch of punk ass ne'er do wells that can't fidn something better to do. Be very selective when picking one from a gym. As an anecdote, my neighbor's first wife got addicted to crack with her first trainer. I guess that was a great weight loss program, but at what price? You might try looking into one of htose programs like the Sargeants program that would be much cheaper than joining a gym.

What was the reason?

If you never change you inevitably find yourself in the 1% from time to time. Its inescapable. You're a hipster.

You strike me as someone who would care about this, so you might not want to go to Curves. The guy who owns it is a very heavy contributor to Operation Save America (a successor to Operation Rescue). 10 percent of Curves profits go to anti-abortion groups.

Word of mouth is generally how I've vetted personal trainers in the past.

I believe Curves is also just for women, so that might be a threshold issue why he wouldn't want to go there as well. (unless not Bob is really not Roberta and has been tricking us)
