If You Build It, They Will Come...

It being THE IRON GYM!!! They being ROCK HARD MUSCLES!!! Jason went to Walmart today with a list and came home with a bag of items off the list. He got sucked into the As Seen On TV display. When I asked how much The Iron Gym cost, Lena piped in, "$19.99! Everything on TV is $19.99." The girls have seen The Iron Gym commercial multiple times and our friend Lew actually owns one. I used to mock Lew's Iron Gym. Oh how easily the mocker becomes the mockee. The Iron Gym commercial guy yells, "You are gonna get RIPPED!" only the funny part is the girls call it ribbed. So now I guess Jason is going to get ribbed?
Oooo...maybe I will stop mocking The Iron Gym...I think I like ribbed!
The Iron Gym is also good for entertaining little monkeys...
DISCLAIMER: The Iron Gym does nothing to enhance the decor of your home. It also can be a source of fighting amongst siblings. If you are a mother of two with limited upper body strength it may not be a good idea to hang from The Iron Gym. Hanging from The Iron Gym (and attempting to pull oneself at least a millimeter up in the air) may result in a pulled rib. Use at your own risk!!!

That is too funny. The other night, I was watching TV in bed. I saw some of these commercials and started thinking...what if I did an AS SEEN ON TV Christmas? The only things I could buy would be these 19.99 goodies. I drifted off to sleep thinking about who would get what...
Now I know not to buy you the Iron Gym...Perhaps the snugglie instead...or Shamwows...or the Bedazzler!

PS. I really actually want those things you stick to the bottom of your feet at night and in the morning they are all black because they pulled the toxins out. I found them at a store, but couldn't fork out the 19.99 for them! So instead I've asked Santa!

Frankly I am embarrassed to say how many AS SEEN ON TV items we own. Matt is obsessed! The truly sad part is, most of our stuff actually were purchased off the TV. Anyone need a StickShark?
