This would also be useful for us climbers who are hundreds of feet off the ground hanging by our pro.

Fair enough. I think it's unrealistic to expect people to sit at a chair for 8 hours a day straight banging out whatever they're doing and there's been numerous studies about this, a mere Google search away.

Quite frankly I believe this to be an outdated view of employment. When you are salaried you are paid for results, not for minutes. I would much rather take an employee who spends 6 hours producing excellent results and 2 hours messing around per day vs. someone who spends 8 hours producing the same excellent results.

Man I love how Franken always seems to have his ear to the ground. I'd vote for this guy for POTUS in 2016! :)

I agree. Also, WWE wrasslers are athletes as well.

classy pops!

screw working in this; i want this for a sleepover LAN party.

Are we sure this wasn't Kim Kardashin from Reggie Bush's account? This sounds like something she'd "think".

I wonder if Nickelback is available?

The charity 5k takes offense to that comment :P

So basically I can make my own laws. NEAT!

I just went back and looked and my response rate is 50% ... I'm not bragging about it and I don't believe he is either. If he's like me than he's interesting, confident and selective about who he talks to. I'm talking to people who are adventurous like I am and that puts me in a small field of people who are likely to…

Completely agree.

You really hit the nail on the head with that last paragraph. The first one's good too because those are all mistakes people make (too vague, too verbose/nuts, too douchey).

Two things which I'm picking up: You sound like a nice guy and you're trying ... which can be a recipe for disaster.

Seems plausible ... Michelangelo did something similar with "The Last Judgment" in the Sistine Chapel.

Do we really need to bring religion into this sanctimonious prick's story?

At least you know his knees are good.
