Now he has a new addiction. The Gym. I work out too. Once or twice a week, sometimes none. I won't be competing anytime soon. My bro however is going five times a week, and according to him, is getting "ripped." I just hope he forgives me for all those merciless tickle sessions. Piano. That was the biggie. Oh, and Wonder Punch. Piano involved pinning him on his back, straddling his chest so that his arms were trapped at his sides, then poking at his chest like piano keys, while merrily singing the Meow Mix commercial jingle. Wonder Punch was a clever derivative of a cartoon that nobody has heard of called Wonder Bug. I do this to my children today actually. It's a fancy name for a twisty fist in the belly.But I digress. My brother told me to go to a health store for "herbal supplements", which he claims will help me along quicker. I'm reminded of one of my new expressions from Madagascar: Smile and wave boys, smile and wave.
Well, at least it's legal.

I'm betting your brother has an addictive personality and I'm hoping that this new addiction keeps his hold over him vs. the other. Just don't let him get too big - tell him it's most unattractive to women. ;-)
Good luck to him!
Sometimes people just have to do, do, do, so they don't have to think. Sometimes introspection hurts.
It's funny how kids raised in the same family turn out to be so different.
First of all, Piano sounds hilarious for everyone except the keyboard. Nice touch with Meow Mix.
Second, working out has been shown to be effective with depression issues. So maybe it will help him.
Well, if you're going to have an addiction, this is the sort of addiction you want.
I'm glad he didn't have to go to jail.
I'm with Kathleen - sounds like an addictive personality. And you're right, at least this one is legal.
"...while merrily singing the Meow Mix commercial jingle."
I was ROLLING on that one!! That's the kind of thing to drop into a story. I'd bet no one else on Earth could write that scene.
Ours was Typewriter, not Piano. I could never read music. :P
Once an addict...always an addict?? Those obsessive personalities come in all sizes...so if the gym works for him its better than lots of things he could be obsessive over....its a good thing...me, I drink iced tea like its going outta style...lol
I hope my sister has long forgotten the tickle torture I subjected her to....but I doubt it...haha
Well I guess that is a good news post :)
Hope it keeps him off the other stuff.
Very mature of your bro to channel his obession thus. Good on him!
I used to execute a similiar manouvre to 'Piano' on my brother.
It was never pretty.
In general, I'd like to say thank you for supporting what my brother is doing. I worry that he is addicted to anything, but everyone here has a good point to make. Working out is good. It's just the suppliment thing--more drugs.
