YSaC, Vol. 1672: If I only could, I’d be running up that… bicycle?

2014 March 3

Recently, I purchased a treadmill. I don’t actually like running, but it beats the heck out of actually having to pay attention to what I eat. And you know what? Treadmills really are great exercise. Those suckers are heavy.

What’s even more terrifying is that even after five years of writing for this blog, I still bought it off of Craigslist. But not from this person:

Nordic track treadmill – $150



Rarely used!!!! In good conditions 🙂

It may be in good conditions, but one of those conditions is not actually the condition of being a treadmill. On the other hand, I’d still rather have that one than this one:

treadmill for sale-genitally used – $400

I am getting ready to move and am not going to have space for this any more. It has been genitally used however it is in good shape. It folds up against the wall to have a smaller foot print in the room. I am unable to haul and it is not really light so be sure to bring someone with a truck! Cash only…first come first serve….if it is on here it is NOT taken!

Treadmill. You’re doing it wrong.

Thanks for the posts, Bev and Chance!

      Pretty sure the CL terms-of-service cover even renting genitally-used items . . .

    I’ll only buy the first treadmill if it comes with someone to work the pedals so I can pretend to be in chair sedan.

    I didn’t think you were allowed to sell things for genital on craigslist. I’m pretty sure Chris Hansen is going to jump out from behind that yoga ball.

    Which device to use depends on what you want to exorcise. If your treadmill is leaving footprints, pea soup may be next.

    [Corey] Neither one is actually a treadmill, since they don’t mill anything. They’re also too small for a horse, which was the usual source of this type of mill power. /end Corey

      If you’re exercising, you don’t really need a treadmill. Well, unless your demons like to keep their meat suits fit. Try a bit of holy water and these words, “Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus,
      omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii,
omnis congregatio et secta diabolica.

Ergo, draco maledicte.
Ecclesiam tuam securi tibi facias libertate servire,
te rogamus, audi nos.”

    Guys, RUN from that genitally used treadmill. Not only did it turn one ball blue, but look at the swelling!

    Yeah. Sparky, your exercise program needs work. Twenty reps a day doesn’t mean what you think it means.

    Congrats to the new people in the box, and Punchity Punch Punch to the ones who were there only yesterday.

    Good Morning, La Fitnesse!

      Well, I do imagine pushups become significantly easier if you’re got a third appendage to help.

        And now “one-handed push-up” sounds like a euphemism.

          Yep, one handed push-up/pull-up… It’s possible.

    That’s what the treadmill said, but did Sparky listen? Now it just stays folded up against the wall, genitally rocking back and forth.

    Fairly certain- if you’re advertising on Craigslist about your genital usage- you’re going to get unsolicited offers about your services.
    And how much extra it would be to leave those aforementioned small footprints in unmentionable places.

    *offers a round of brain bleach shots to all*
