Gym Dorks...



When did it become acceptable to wear your queer triathlete/cyclist gear in public? I mean I can MAYBE accept it if your out doing your thing in a race or training, but to wear it to the gym (or even worse, like I saw last week, the grocery store) is completely unacceptable. The only grapes I need to see are in the produce section, please. We certainly do not need to see your skin-tight, neon-yellow outfit and your $800 cycling shoes as you stroll around Safeway to pick up a few items. Get a t-shirt or warmups to put over them.

And when is it cool to wear the outfits adorned with the logos of professional riders. Do you see golfers walking around with Phil Mickelson golf shirts and hats with Barclay's or Bearing Point or Playtex on them? Wannabe golfers adorned head to toe in nike, wearing black & red on Sundays....oh wait, bad example. Isn't there some plain gear that these dorks can wear, instead of Lance-Armstrong USPS-replicas?

All in all, seeing these circus freaks around makes going to the gym in the real early morning hours unbearable...makes me sick to watch them prance around and act like they're the second coming because they run in races that nobody cares about....to quote the Great Kenny Powers from Eastbound & Down....."Hell no I don't do triathlons. I play real sports, not try to be the best at exercising."

Today, I saw the following freak shows:

1. Cyclist in neon yellow outfit, with specialty shoes, walking through the grocery store with his nuts protruding for all to see.

2. 60-year-old man in skin tight biker shorts, with sleeveless skin tight shirt (more like a wetsuit), doing situps 18" from me. That outfit would be acceptable only in the Pacific Ocean with board in hand.

3. Runner going hogwild on treadmill......skin tight bike shorts whose length would make John Stockton blush. This was only the start, as his sleeveless silver shimmery Under Armour shirt was tucked up to his nipples, showing his belly off. Hit the road, prancer, you're due back in Tent City to play boytoy for 'Toine....

Where's the self respect gone? I guess lunchtime hoops is out, and being a pansy is in.
