We continue our celebration of Week 12 of P90X by taking a closer look at:<\/p>\n

World Famous Karen Potstirrers…<\/p>\n

[I can see the surprise on your face; you didn’t see this coming, did you<\/a>?]<\/p>\n

When you’ve targeted your “glamour” muscles enough (shoulders, eyelashes, biceps etc. – Hey!\u00a0 I didn’t name them the glamour muscles.\u00a0\u00a0T-dog did.) and they’re cramped and\u00a0 even your fingers can no longer go on…you throw in some World Famous Karen Potstirrers to loosen everything up.<\/p>\n

I don’t know who Karen is.\u00a0 I don’t think we\u00a0meet her in any of the dvd’s.\u00a0 But she must be awesome to have a stretch named after her!\u00a0 Just friggin’ awesome.<\/p>\n

Karen’s\u00a0Potstirrers consist of us bending at the waist.\u00a0 We pretend that first-the-left-arm-then-the-right-arm is stirring an entire vat of soup.\u00a0 What makes this stretch so enjoyable is that Tony and his Flying Monkeys always do this shtick wherein they NAME the soup they’re stirring.\u00a0 It’s so funny I forgot to laugh.<\/p>\n

Tony will ask, “what kinda soup ya makin’?” and the cute, greasy-haired German girl will reply with a flawless “vee\u00a0vill ask zee qwestions” accent, “German Potato Soup, Sieg Heil!”<\/p>\n

Then some buff dope in the back will say “Okra Stew.”<\/p>\n

[Shut it!]<\/p>\n

Then Tony will say, “Lobster Bisque.”<\/p>\n

[Really?!\u00a0 Who are you kidding?\u00a0\u00a0You haven’t had dairy since 1987.\u00a0 And there’s no way you’d ever MAKE or EAT\u00a0lobster bisque.]<\/p>\n

You know what I’m stirring up?\u00a0\u00a0For a change-of-pace I’m\u00a0stirring up some PIE.\u00a0 So that I can shove it in your pie-hole, Tony,\u00a0and shut you up already!!!<\/p>\n

Food Update: (why am I doing a daily Food Update?\u00a0 If you recall, I shot my big mouth off <\/a>and said I could go TWO WHOLE WEEKS without going to the grocery store.\u00a0 Now I’m not even a week into this and\u00a0we’re down to our last gallon of milk and I’m starting to feel a\u00a0vague sense of panic.)<\/p>\n
