I've been hard at work in my laboratory and have recently reached some semi-okay-ish conclusions regarding Richard Simmons and just, what, EXACTLY makes him so gosh darn lovable.
1. He resembles a raisin and who doesn't adore a good raisin?
2. He maintains an OTHERWORDLY enthusiasm and Go-Get-'Emness despite the fact that his hair has the consistency of Pure Wisp
3. Who wears short shorts? Richard wears short shorts!
4. He appears to possess a complete and utter lack of rhythm HOWEVER he refuses to let this stop him when he is leading a squadron of followers during Sweatin To the Oldies
5. Two words: TUBE SOCKS
Step aside and let the man go through,
Harry Hot Pants

Can I just have 5 minutes in your brain? Please? Just 5 minutes!
Also, there is the charming way he has of YELLING with uber enthusiasm everything he says.
"HEY EVERYONE! I HAVE AN UPSET STOMACH ACCOMPANIED BY DIARRHEA! YEAH! AND ONE! AND TWO! AND THREE!"
Just adorable.
Here's the thing about him: Genuine. Plus one of my friends was on his show in the 80's after they lost a zillion pounds.
Just found your blog through The Zadge and I howled! I'm still smiling and snorting quietly making my husband bury his head even deeper into his newspaper. All right, it's not a newspaper anymore, he reads the paper on-line, but still...it's the idea and all. His head is so deeply burrowed into his screen he's fogging it up.
look forward to more. And I have always wondered why Nancy Grace YELLS! I can hear her even though I don't watch her. All I have to do is see one clip advertising her and I can see that cranky face all day long--and HEAR HER.
PS Who can't love Richard Simmons no matter how reluctantly? tube socks...grrrrrr
