Strength in Interesting Places

[trial]

Thanks JauntyAngle for being straightforward in your critique of my method of dieting and also my lack of followthrough on good advice. I am starting Atkins today and it should be something I can do long term. Thanks again and good luck on you GHR!

T3 sounds interesting, I'll investigate. Good luck, but more importantly, utilize the preacher curl deck! GUNZ!GUNZ!GUNZ!

You have flavor texts for your workouts now? I lol'd!

At SiP, we are constantly looking for ways to improve the service that we give our readers. Currently we only have flavor text, for squats, and only that particular one, because it is absolutely awesome. In fact, in recognition of your authorship of it and your pioneering work with the 'It's Squaturday' thread, I am awarding you a JauntyPoint!

 

[VoodooPlata]

Wow. I will cherish this day forever!

I have to say, Slave, I am really impressed by your attitude. I know that you set getting at least one JauntyPoint to be your number 1 target for the coming year, and obviously it must burn you up inside that you haven't got one yet. But here you are, genuinely congratulating Voodoo on his. It's this kind of attitude that makes the S&C logs so great.

i didn't want to look like a jealous bitch, but trust me, it's not easy

Your doing T3 I see. Cool, good luck with it and have fun with the 5x10's:icon_twis

Yeah... I am really enjoying it. Even though it was 5x10 squats today. F*ck- they are brutal. I was trying to keep it down to 3-4 minute rests, 4 minutes would come round and I would look at my stopwatch and think that it felt like 1 minute. And the worst thing is that I know it is going to get harder, as I get better at pushing it right to the edge of what I can physically manage.

This must be the weirdest log on the entire internet, and I am happy to participate!

Now, for the speech:

Dear co-minions of SiP. There comes a day in a young man's life when he realizes that perfect command of the female mind and anatomy is not enough. There comes a time when the realization creeps in that the hole inside one's soul is perhaps not filled by mortal excesses such as foursomes with Scarlett Johansson's triplet little sisters, champagne baths and foie gras made from "biggest loser"-participants (the ones that lost).

For me, known collectively as VP and minister of the temple of VoodooPlatitudes, that time was quite recent. But then I found a glimmer of hope amidst the pitch-black nightmare of fellatio and sports vehicles that was my life. I realized that what I had been looking for all along was right there in front of me - I needed not only the love and adoration of my followers, but also a certain jauntiness.

Now, with long hard struggle and sacrifice, I have finally begun to acquire some of that elusive quality. I have taken the first step upon a lifelong ladder to try and reach the light that is our Saviour, JauntyAngle. For such is his jauntiness, that only the jauntiest can even begin to fathom the jauntitude of his jaunts.

For now, I am but a pup under his jaunty gaze, and I fear that the demons still beset me from all sides, though I swear I shall countinue on the path of Jaunty for as long as I live, and try to rid myself of hobbies such as hunting endangered species for their thumb fillets (tasty) and naked base-jumping with Tom and Angelina. Later. I'll do that later. I think. What I'm trying to say is, thanks for the Jaunty Point. It's nice. I'll frame it.

Some day.

Great speech. Now let's see which TV shows and networks pick it up. I am sure 'E' will pick it up, but really I think we should be going for BBC, CNN and AL Jazeera. Plus all of the quality newspapers.

Great news! A few weeks ago, SiIP Internationall Holdings* hired DDB International, one of the world's largest ad agencies, to put together a new, cutting edge ad campaign for JauntyPoints. I'm delighted to say that DDB came through big time, and that the new ads will be appearing in major cities across the US, Europe and other key strategic locations as of some time very soon.

For my loyal readers, here is a sneak preview of the first three ads:

I know that everyone who has JauntyPoints already is going to get an ever bigger boost from their points thanks to this campaign, and those who don't will be trying even harder to get them!

* SiIP Intl is a registered subsidiary of Omnicorp Global Domination Enterprises.

Frankly, I would *love* to give you JauntyPoints right now. But we have a very complicated award process, that involves a series of assessments by several different panels of international experts on style, manliness, savoir-faire and derring-do. It involves very rigorous and careful scrutiny of all JauntyPoint candidates. So it's very difficult for me to bring the JauntyPoints process forward, even for highly meritorious candidates such as yourself. (Plus, I am concerned that if I award any more JauntyPoints to anyone before awarding one to SlaveToTheDark, he may go into a berserk rage and flatten several small cities.)

Rest assured, that you are currently one of the top contenders for a JauntyPoint award in the near future.
