I’m reposting this here in case people don’t read yesterday’s:
Is anyone going away for the holidays who would like to sublet their apartment for a night or two? My family is coming into town and I am looking for lodging for them. A one or two bedroom in the Slope would be preferred, and it would be for the 24 & 25. Email me at tamsonw (at) gmail (dot) com to work out details.
paul says
I think the skeleton should be named “glenn”.
David says
When I took it out of the box and realized the spine and scapula were both immobile, i thought to myself. this thing is a little chincy. What do people think about naming him “Chincy”
And yes, it’s a male, the pelvis confirms it.
David says
Also:
Barbara times from yesterday:R1: 3:46R2: 4:04R3: 4:36R4: 4:47R5: 4:37Total Time: 34:10
All pull-ups, sit-ups and squats unbroken. Push-ups very broken. First time Ive done barbara and not felt like I was going to explode afterwards.
And:
Big thanks to Dan R. for taking the picture above, he really went above and beyond with the lighting and staging.
tam says
Too bad Chincy couldn’t be in the photo.
Laurel says
I think if we are going to call him Chincy, then it has to be “Professor Chincy” or “Dr. Chincy” because we are expected to learn from him… plus these titles command respect and will grant him a little dignity that he is currently lacking. 😉
Charlotte says
His name is TOTALLY Chincy.
PEOPLE GOING TO HOBOKEN!!! Please email me at charlottejerome(at)gmail(dot)com with times you can/cannot do 2 special movement training sessions with David. During or not during class time. Likely Monday and Wednesday, other times are possible.Foxes, Paul S, StephP: this means YOU!
Sameer Parekh says
isn’t that spelled chintzy?
naming the skeleton chincy sounds good to me though, if only to remind us all of david’s spelling skills!
Jess says
Damn Charlotte. I sent you an email earlier today which apparently you didn’t get? I’ll resend stat!
Steph W says
I believe it’s spelled “Chintzy” … I like the sound of it, very rakish.
On the other hand, I also like “Glenn,” which is a very friendly-sounding name. So it all depends on his personality, I guess.
Great pic!
Charlotte says
Jess totally emailed me earlier. My bad.
I like “Chincy” as spelled that way because it also makes me think of “Chauncy” which is a hilarious name for a skeleton as well.
OK, I’m getting off the blog now.
Jess says
I was gonna suggest “Rico” but I guess I’m too late.
Malcolm says
My vote is for buying him a monocle and naming him Lord Chincy Esq.
But this isn’t about voting is it?
Willie says
What about “slim”? too obvious?
Erik K. says
I like Malcolm’s idea, although I might add Lord Sigmund Von Chincy Esq.
Either that or simply “sailer boy”. You know, the whole pirate motif.
Fox says
Willie- don’t make fun of Chincy. He’s self conscious enough as it is.
Tam says
Chintzy is the adjective, but the proper name is Chincy. And, personally, I don’t think Chincy goes for any high-falutin’ titles or nuthin’. He can’t even spell his own name right, for crying out loud.
Nino says
I’m a little late to the game here, but I’m just gonna throw this out there: How about we name the skeleton Chester Copperpot?
No? Come on, Goonies is one of the finest films ever made!
cloyde says
lol at malcolm and nino. i’m lean towards lord chicy.
David Mak says
Lord Sigmund Von Chincy (drop the Esq.) is great.Or Pervis.I’m just sayin’…
tamar says
CHESTER COPPERPOT! YES! I vote Barbara.
Fox says
Anyone out there in need of a dresser?
About 4 1/2 feet wide, 3 ft high, 1 3/4 deep.5 drawers: 3 small, 2 large, plus a cubby.
Light stained wood with some blue accents.
