I'll have you know I am in peak physical condition.* I can run nearly three-quarters of a mile, do roughly 12 push-ups (MILITARY STYLE), and as for pull-ups - well, I'm not so great at pull-ups. But unless you're dangling from a bridge, there's no need for pull-ups. In fact, when naked, I closely resemble Michelangelo's David (with a bigger wang, of course). So it's really surprising you'd think I'm a tub of lard. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE TV THING, ISN'T IT?? You think all I do all day is sit around on my honey-baked ham, watch television, and cram my piehole with Ding Dongs.
WELL, YOU'RE WRONG!! While I may consume a lot of TV, most of what I watch involves VERY strenuous physical activity. For example: Glee! Not only do I dance and sing along with the kids, I also furiously masturbate during the commercials. (The trick is to stretch out first.) Example 2: Dancing with the Stars. No, I'm not doing any actual "dancing." However, I do work up quite a sweat while viciously kicking my television. (Between this show and American Idol, I'm going through four TV sets a week! Which means a lot of walking to Best Buy and lifting new TVs off the shelf. Dude, I'm buff.)
And there's a brand-new show debuting this week that promises to make me even more physically fit (if that's possible). It's called Ultimate Parkour Challenge (MTV, debuts Thurs May 6, 10:30 pm) in which six parkour champions challenge themselves to increasingly difficult tests of skill. Parkour involves a lot of hopping, sprinting, flipping, and climbing - turning ordinary buildings, stairways and rooftops into extreme obstacle courses.
And you can bet I'll be watching and doing a little parkour of my own. First I'll do a backflip off the couch, followed by somersaults through the living room and landing on the kitchen table. Then a corkscrew dive over the dishwasher , which will take me to the refrigerator where I will devour three Totino's frozen pizzas, a bottle of hooch, and seven Ding Dongs. And oh yes! I WILL be nude!
