    I had one of the first Sony Walkman cassette players on the market. It was HUGE! If I still had it, I would factor in the weight to calculate calories burned.

    Do you laugh at people who are carrying last years bag too? Oh, oh, what about people who are driving a car more than 10 years old? Those people are hilarious!:huh:

    I got the humor in the picture, and do see them on occasion at my gym. Mostly senior citizens using them though.

    Not sure why some are turning this into a tree hugging issue.

    My car is 10 years old, lol. This guy is obviously doing what works for him, he seems to have a pretty awesome body that he works hard for and I respect that!! I just have not even thought about a discman in so long and it just looks so out of place these days with everyone having tiny ipods strapped to their arms. It's like a nonsequitor or something :)

    I see it more as people judging others when they know nothing of their situation.:grumble:

    Maybe it's a faux discman and carries a pistol inside!

    Aw, that's cute!
    I don't think it's that big a deal. I doubt this guy would cry himself to sleep about people getting a chuckle about seeing something from their childhood they hadn't seen in forever, let's not take ourselves so seriously, here.

    My dad still has a working 8-track player. LOL Luckily, he also has a sense of humor, and his day isn't ruined when it makes someone laugh, because reality: it's funny.

    OP-hope you get this as I am old and don't know how to do the blue quote thing. :tongue:
    I get it, it is odd to see one now days.
    I think I might be hungry and grumpy.

    No offense I hope.

    Awesome :D I also remember resting them on the handlebar type thing on the treadmill and them then falling, hitting the track and shooting halfway across the gym... but somehow they never broke :p

    I might have to replace my fake cell phone holder. I have seen some crazy stuff at gun shows. I do live in Texas though.

    I'm not offended :) I can see how you could think I was making fun of the guy, but actually I do think it's pretty awesome that he still uses one of those. I didn't mean to seem like a jerk! I'm a nice girl I swear :D

    It would probably be a lot harder to lose than an ipod. I've known way too many people that kept buying a new ipod every few months because they lost it... crazy.
