Well the wedding was this past weekend at a vineyard on the North Fork, and it was quite the event.

Not only did Jamie help coordinate the surprise proposal, he also gave a speech at the wedding, “reenacting” the whole thing. The scene of course required that a step class take place, so Eddy, Lukas, and I were there to oblige.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this is perhaps the only step class ever to be held at a wedding reception.

Why should women have all the fun? In Beijing, pole dancing is now a workout that men too can enjoy.

Hmm… he looks familiar. Where have I seen this guy before?

“The Heart Attack Grill diet is not for everyone. Side effects may include sudden weight gain, repeated increase of wardrobe size, back pain, male breast growth, loss of sexual partners, lung cancer, tooth decay, liver sclerosis, stroke, and an inability to see your penis. In some cases, mild death may occur.”

Ho, ho! That is funny stuff!!

I’ve already mentioned the Heart Attack Grill in a previous post. Why mention it again now? Blair River, the man in this video, passed away earlier this month. He was 575 pounds and 29 years old.

From Jon Basso, the restaurant’s founder and the jackass dressed as a doctor in the commercial: “Cynical people might think this (River’s death) is funny.”

Jon Basso, on the other hand, takes morbid obesity very seriously.

The rat alone would have been enough for me to jump out the window of a moving train. This takes the nightmare to a whole new level. Those of you who make fun of my fear of rats, witness this horror.

Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights singin ayy oh, light the candles.

(Sung to the tune of Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite,” which you might recognize from the music in class.)

I’m not sure, but I think this video kicks ass. Thanks, Barbara!!

Next time I turn down the music after class to make an announcement, something like this could happen to you….

Congratulations to a very brave Sam and a very surprised Lisa. Thanks to Lukas for the footage.

UPDATE: For a different angle of the big event, check out Jamie’s video as well.

We’ve all seen some version of this guy in action. This gym claims that their locations are meathead free, thanks to their “Judgement Free Zone” philosophy. In other words, “members can relax, get in shape, and have fun without being subjected to the hard-core, look-at-me attitude that exists in too many gyms.”

It’s hard to tell how much of this idea is a gimmick and how much is actually enforced. The douchebag in the commercial is, after all, signing up for a membership as the stunned woman sits and stares.

By the way, I’ve been to one of their locations out on Long Island. It appears that there is some policing of their members, as evidenced by their “lunk alarm.”

Thanks to Daniel for the video link.
