Like it. Some comments/opinions:

4) If you find yourself with even a bit of pudge anywhere on your body (can you grip or see any flab on your stomach?), start doing as many situps and pushups as you can before that shower (so the sweat gets washed off) and before you go to bed every goddamned day. How many? Do as many of each as you can until you literally cannot do another one no matter how hard you try. Do not 'cheat', either - real situps, not crunches, with your hands folded behind your head and until your elbows touch your knees. When you do push-ups, make sure your body is completely flat and not bent at the waist - go all the way down until your chest touches the floor, then slowly raise yourself back up. If you can't do one, just hold yourself up for as long as possible until you can, you goddamned pussy.


I dunno if detailed instruction on how to do push-ups and sit-ups is really necessary. It's kind of boring. Also, go with "push-up/sit-up" or "pushup/situp," not both.

Eventually, I couldn't take the noise and the stink. I'd been in the equivalent of solitary confinement + pet gerbils & rats for four days with my fiance gone for the week on a business trip. The 100+ people and the huge crowd + noise + reeking just drove me out. In a testament to my own failings as a human being I won a shirt in my fiance's size from some PA trivia contest, and I wasn't playing in the Soul Calibur 2 tourney so there wasn't much left for me.


Your usage of the plus sign is a little confusing and distracting. I think it's fine in "100+" but the usage of it there makes it awkward when you use it in the rest of the paragraph.

The rest of it is funny, and sounds very Barborito-esque, as it should.

BDR
