And the grand prize goes to...

Ariel and Ruth both for finding and sending me a picture of the contraption I was talking about in my previous post. If this was a blog that had giveaways, you two would be the proud new owners of whatever this thing is called. And I'd probably even throw in the pictured exercise outfits, cap and all

Seriously, though, this thing was up in my friend's mother's bedroom and Osvaldo and I would sneak up there to play on it. I think we faced the other direction on it though, so that the belt went around our butts.

Osvaldo also taught me that when Whitney Houston sang about wanting to feel the heat with someone, it meant she wanted to have sex with someone.

I also remember watching Weird Science up in his bedroom and feeling dirty for doing so. I saw it recently in the free section of On Demand when I was home sick and watched part of it for old time's sake.

Oh, and we also liked to pass the summer spying on the polygamists that lived behind him.

And once, he kicked me in the nuts.

  1. Somehow I feel like I have missed out knowing Osvaldo - was he in the neighborhood? And for the record, in every cartoon I have seen using this contraption, they did use it around the buttocks. I would think using it (as the women pictured)in this fashion would make one vomit.

  2. Osvaldo might have been around when our street was in the other ward. His family moved to Sandy/Midvale from Mexico and were in our ward. They lived in the Tamilee (sp?) duplexes next to the Southworth's. Oh man, I haven't thought of the Southworth's in years. Or Tamilee. Anyway, he actually went by Ozzie.

  3. wow, i wish i knew polygamists! it sounds exciting. your friend sounds cool, and his name is awesome.

    if i had won this work out thing and matching outfit, i would so use it.

    i remember when i was a kid, i liked whitney, but whenever she came on my mom would change the station because the words were "bad". and i wasnt allowed to watch blossom or saved by the bell because those girls showed their midriff, and thats immodest.

  5. also, I think it is important for you to know that in KOREA those things are still in FULL operational use. The gym under my building with many a mosquito had one...I used it and immediately felt like I needed to go see the bishop. I think it's supposed to shake your cellulite, but it does so much more. So. Much. More.
