American Wusses.

One thing I have learned by watching The New American Gladiators (it was accident, I swear!) is that Americans are a bunch of pansies. Not a single contender -- or "gladiator" has anything on a Ninja Warrior.

I know it's harder than it looks, but the stuff on Ninja Warrior looks really hard. None of this running up a conveyor belt with the aid of a rope. In Japan, you must run against the conveyor belt using your own stamina and strength!

Of course, I also would have difficulty doing much of anything requiring physical exertion so...

You better watch your comments there, Melissa! Some of us grew up loving that show, even building our own "Eliminators" in our backyards with neighborhood friends.

Despite all this, I still ended up gay, though....hmmm....maybe it was all the spandex?

Love,

Hey now. I grew up loving the show too...Nitro was my hero. I am only pointing out the lameness of the NEW Gladiators. The one I didn't grow up with, and the one without Nitro.

And the spandex was hot. Gay or straight.

I MISS YOU.
