Ah, this must be Agent Michael Scarn's favorite station.

One of the local radio stations, playing along with their St. Patrick's Day theme of "Nice bananas!" (Dude, I don't even know), played a remix of Harry Chapin's "30,000 Pounds of Bananas" with a rap beat and Gwen Stefani singing, "B-a-n-a-n-a-s," as the chorus while I was in the car.

Oh, man, my EARS. *whines*

EDIT: I also went and picked up an outfit to exercise in. When I mentioned I needed one to a couple of my co-workers, they said, "You don't need to lose weight! You're so skinny!" Yes, thank you, I think I figured that out even before I had to buy my exercise clothes in small and STILL needed to roll down the waist of the capris I bought (which reach my ankles, natch) because they were too high-waisted on me.

Putting it on makes it patently obvious what I need to work on -- flatter stomach, toned arms, slightly smaller ass. It's not weight loss, for crying out loud, it's just sculpting and not even that much of it.

Also I got a shirt that said, "Thank God for Country Boys." *shrugs*

Someday, people will remember that people are supposed to have muscle tone, and in order to build muscle tone, one must exercise. T_T

Oh man, we had that Harry Chapin record when I was a kid. I was always just really amused by the "Yes, we have no bananas/We have no bananas today/Yes, we have no bananas/Bananas in Scranton PA" version of the ending that it wasn't until I listened to the song again recently that I realized how depressing it is. Thankfully, I've been spared any Gwen Stefani remixes.

Try explaining to people that you actually like exercise. It's like announcing you're a furry.

At least it wasn't combined with the Banana Boat Song? ;) That sort of thing is why I don't like radio.

On the now-rare occasions when I go running, I usually wear my Nike "Meat Logo" shirt and a pair of shorts.

The shirt is one I've had since high school, and has held up surprisingly well. On the front, in black block text, it says, "A MEAT LOGO?". On the back, there's a round piece of meat with the Nike Swoosh in the middle of it, with the caption (in the same font as on the front) "THAT WOULD BE CRAZY." (Keep in mind, this is from the era when Dennis Hopper was doing the Bruce Smith "bad things, man" ads for Nike.)
