Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Highland Games

Palance Points: 4/5

Think there's something wimpy about men in skirts? Think again. Highland Games demonstrate the heartiest feats of manly strength and strength-endurance.

A favorite amongst Scots ex-pat communities, you must see events like the caber toss to truly appreciate the balance and explosiveness required to excel. And although there may be lots of grunting, it's hard to tell if they're even breaking a sweat. Or, if they'd let you know what's really under that kilt!

Russian Kettlebells

Palance Points: 5/5

The first time I heard about these primitive but effective weights I was a bit skeptical. And frankly, I thought they were related to cowbells! But after a quick look at the web site, I knew I had to have one of my own:



This quickly turned into a major (then minor) obsession based on the books and videos of Pavel Tsatsouline, the fitness-mad Russian who popularized Kettlebells in North America and beyond. Many new callouses and muscles later, I am a devoted fan. I recommend you order the 35-pounder for starters and be prepared for a few days of soreness!

Spray-on Hair

Palance Points: .5/5

If your idea of good grooming comes from a can, then spray-on hair might be the answer for you. And if wearing a baseball cap is just a little too inconvenient to hide that bald spot, try getting this aerosol past airport security:



On the upside, I'm sure it's much cheaper than Hair Club For Men or implants. Having lost a good bit of my hair a while back, I'm content with the Gillette Atra II. It's a much better look than a comb- or spray-over - though it won't get me lead role on The Apprentice!

Lee Marvin

Palance Points: 4/5

Perhaps best known as Liberty Valance in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", Lee Marvin had a long and storied career, including an Academy Award for Best Actor (Cat Ballou, 1965). Lee was quickly recognized by his gravelly voice and gruff demeanor, which softened in later roles or TV and the big screen. A former Marine who served in Asia during World War II, his big break came while working as a plumber's assistant at a theater in upstate New York.


Lee Marvin as Major John Reisman in The Dirty Dozen.

I am especially fond of his early roles, which include the vicious boyfriend of Gloria Grahame in The Big Heat (1953). Marvin had a small but memorable role in The Wild One (1953) opposite Marlon Brando, followed by Seminole (1953), Gun Fury (1953). He was again praised for his role as the small-town hood Hector in the film Bad Day at Black Rock with Spencer Tracy (1954).

Let's salute Lee Marvin as our Movie Mensch of the Week!
