FRIDAY FUN

I found this little piece of too much fun on Grandpa’s blog. He is an amazing poet who truly is a word mechanic. If you’ve never visited Grandpa, you don’t know what you’re missing. I, myself, am terrible with poetry. Well except that one about Nantucket. *wink* But Grandpa is a master. Today however he posted this very fun video that I just couldn’t help stealing.

I would take the stairs every time! Wouldn’t you?


I just realized this post might qualify for Otin, Hit40 and RxBambi's Happy Hour Friday. Watching people on these stairs really made me happy. :-)




Hugs,

    I LOVED that. I'd definitely take the stairs...in fact, that's about the only thing that could persuade me to take the stairs...

    I'm pitiful, I know.

    "Fun can change behavior for the better. We call it the fun theory."

    This will be my weekend mantra.

    And hell yeah. I'd take the stairs. I'd be a jumping.

    Since I don't have to work, I am adopting the "fun theory" a daily approach.
    That is priceless. Did you notice, no obese folks over there?

    Yes. . . I'd like to order the piano stairs for the 13 stairs in my house! Life is a symphony and it starts at my home!

    I'd like to play the melody when I come down to start my day and when I go up to go to sleep! Lovely way to start and end the day. . .
    with the Music of life!

    I think I'll go create a masterpiece! LOVELY!

    I do we get some fun therapy in OHIO?? I need volkswagon to come pimp out some stairs here too!!!

    Fun does change behavior. If you have fun in math class, the kids enjoy being there and learn more!!! True story!!

    What FUN! I take the stairs a lot but they'd probably have to ban me from this one what with all the fun I'd be having!

    Watching people on stairs makes you happy? You sound fat.

    This is great!! What a fun idea.

    And what's up with The Crap Blog Detective? Sounds like someone sucked the fun right out of him. Wow.

    As I've always said: I may be fat, but you're ugly. I can lose weight.

    Heh heh

    I'd absolutely take the stairs ... and would try to play a little song.

    It'd be interesting if they keep the camera up and follow if people eventually go on back to the escalator.
