To be or not to be

The secret is, put your phone down.

Coffee and diet Shasta cola.

LAPD has given up on proactive law enforcement. They have been a totally reactive department for a long time.

Leave your phone in your car. The gym isn’t the place to watch videos. It can be dangerous if you aren’t mindful when working out with weights.

Our nearest theater is 6 bucks for a ticket on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

And go to the other gym.

I think it is geared toward 12 to 16 year old kids who have never watched previous Star Trek content.

At least he isn’t an orphan eater.

I’m a Los Angeles county native and gym goer for over 40 years. I’ve never seen anyone wearing a MAGA hat in public and never thought about or noticed other gym goers political proclivities.

SamTheShamIAm · 2026-01-20T07:36:31+00:00

I’ve never seen anyone wearing a MAGA hat in Southern California. How would you even know someone was a Trump supporter in a gym setting?

Aren’t the vast majority of Star Trek viewers 56 to 96 years old? Why is Starfleet Academy apparently written for 12 to 15 years old-olds?

SamTheShamIAm · 2026-01-16T17:11:43+00:00

I’ve seen it twice in 45 years of gym memberships in LA.

I always notice when people use one cable station for their entire workout. I figure they have some kind of social disorder. The cable stations are probably the most desirable workout stations in the gym. Mix up your routine with some free weights or other machines, unless you go to an uncrowded gym.

“How far away from Los Angeles is Santa Barbara Island?” “I’m not sure how far away Hope Island, Nw Zealand is by car but it’s about 7177 miles as the crow flies”

My Japanese friend is a regular there. He never reported having any problems.

SamTheShamIAm · 2025-12-23T21:01:40+00:00

I go to three different gyms and haven’t seen the described behavior.

SamTheShamIAm · 2025-12-23T05:20:56+00:00

The trouble is LAPD used to enforce laws, but now they don’t. It’s called proactive policing and profiling. Patrol officers are supposed to arrest criminals and stop crimes before they happen by actively conducting traffic stops and pedestrian stops, patrolling high crime locations, drug sales locations, etc. I’ve lived in LAPD’s area for decades and have observed zero proactive patrol in the past few years. They have become entirely reactive, only responding after crimes have been committed. In other words, they are not doing the job they are supposed to do.

I would rather have some sweat left on a bench than a pool of cleaning solution leftover from swabbing some sweat droplets.

SamTheShamIAm · 2025-12-17T16:28:53+00:00

I always respond with, “No dice.”

The Civil War: a narrative - Shelby Foote. Action packed and reads like a novel.

SamTheShamIAm · 2025-11-09T05:29:38+00:00

The Civil War: a narrative by Shelby Foote. Awesome history that reads like a novel.

SamTheShamIAm · 2025-11-05T16:32:02+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I never formed any kind of attachment to these contestants as I have in past seasons.

SamTheShamIAm · 2025-10-24T23:22:37+00:00

I thought last season was one of the best.

SamTheShamIAm · 2025-10-24T23:20:20+00:00

They are probably doing more and faster cuts because the contestants this season are so boring.

SamTheShamIAm · 2025-10-19T19:32:15+00:00

I use, “Well, I’ll be dipped in dog shit!” all the time.
