Capri pants bare scourge of summer: cankles
Cheeky gym campaign gives us yet another body part to worry about

Still obsessing about how your dimpled thighs, jelly belly or flappy arms look in a swimsuit? Thats so last summer.
This year, theres a new body part to fret over: the cankle.
Hmmm, you may be wondering, whats a cankle? Golds Gym, which has designated July as Cankle Awareness Month, defines it this way: The word comes from the combination of calf and ankle. It occurs when the calf merges with an obese or swollen ankle.
**SNIP** (so to speak...)
Skinny jeans aren't your friend
Keep in mind, Comana says, that spot reduction is a myth. In other words, no workout will allow you to lose weight just in your ankles or your thighs or your abs, for that matter.
The Golds plan to prevent, treat and minimize the appearance of cankles focuses on three areas: exercise, diet and style (avoiding skinny jeans, for instance, and wearing bright sneakers at the gym to draw attention away from the ankle).

This crisis must be addressed by one with experience.
We called them clam diggers.
I crack myself up!
I hope we have concentration camp cells near each other.... ;^)
They won't take me alive, but I'll give you directions to my secret bayou hideaway ;-)
Actually, capris are “out” this year. I gave all of mine to my unknowing sister. ;-)
I know, I know...that’s what all you guys say when I make that crack... ;^)
Yeah me too. I was just telling my daughter about MJ and his little white kids. I bet it really does gall the black community and his family.
I remember Old Crusty well. This one is one of my top 5 personal favorites. The last line is probably my favorite from any song.

Hey black pant suit
are you dusty
worn by Rodham
are you crusty?
For two decades
you have lasted
youd not squeeze her big butt if sometime she fasted
You had touched the
evil lady
when the softballs
came from Katie
Once you thought youd
really lost er
when she took you off to dump her boyfriend Foster
You were there for
depositions
she proclaimed them
inquisitions
There was comfort
youre providing
on the day the billing records she was hiding
Are you wool or
polyester
Carville may know
go ask Chester
You cant fit a-
round her belly
you need washing
Pakistanis say youre smelly
Please be honest
was she plastered
when she screamed You F.J. Bastard
Did she hurl
when she read Leaves of Grass was given to that porky girl
Would you welcome the excitement
if youre worn to her indictment
And by chance
do you think youd survive if she should wet her pants
Wait a minute
is exquisite
what you hear when
lezbos visit
Have you had a
corsage clipped on
like a blue dress please tell us, have you been dripped on
Were you out in the Rose Garden
Bill was late and
begged her pardon
We know there was
trouble plenty
she learned what he did with his Arturo Fuente
Those were the good old days, weren’t they. I think I did a few songs too, but I can’t find them. I bookmarked your link page. I am trying to set up a music room at the house where I can learn keyboard and practice guitar. Have you ever checked out the gunther anderson page with chords and lyrics to a gazillion folk/guitar type songs? You might like it
stay in touch.

And while I’m thinking about it....That new photo of BO ogling the 16 year old girl at the G8 meeting deserves a song. Hmmmmmm. Maybe to the tune of “The Girl from Ipanema”
parsy, who will get to work on it unless you beat me to it!
