Stay Off the Juice, Kids

Remember kids, steroids are bad for you.

Explanation: Just a friendly public service message from all of us at Jeremy's Status Message to you in this new year. We know you have a new year's resolution to lose those extra pounds, get in the gym and snap yourself into shape, but steroids are not the answer. Sure, you may have an upper bowel inflammation, an eye injury leading to blurred vision, or a systemic reaction to poison ivy, but this miracle drug isn't as miraculous as you might think. It can do more harm than good. Stay off the juice, kids!

Think you can't get big without steroids? Look at Uncle Walt. He's totally clean (assuming Tastycakes and Diet Coke aren't performance-enhancing drugs) and he can squat six people:


EDITOR'S NOTE: As we are currently covered with a rash due to an allergic reaction to a steroid we are taking, we felt it was a good time to remind you all of the dangers of drug use. Now if you'll excuse us, we have some serious scratching to do.

Special Blog Bonus: Speaking of spreading like a plague, this animated map of Walmart's growth across America is pretty interesting. And no, it is not a link to a YouTube video.

Life's Little Lesson #114

From the archives:

Life's Little Lesson #114: No matter how strong you are, it's still not smart to run with a refrigerator on your back.

Explanation: I came up with this gem after seeing somebody sustain a catastrophic knee injury during a strongman competition on television. I will make no effort to search for video of the event since I'm really not into that sort of thing, but I did feel like this piece of advice was worth passing on.

Just for the record, it is also not wise to arm wrestle with a man who A) used to arm wrestle competitively and B) is widely considered to have the world's strongest arms.
