Title: Power Balance bracelets a crock of shit? No way!

Maybe now Thunderpants will ditch his (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110104/ap_on_sp_ot/us_balance_bracelets), along with the rest of the team.

A Wisconsin professor ran similar tests comparing the performance of 42 athletes wearing Power Balance wristbands and silicon versions from Wal-Mart and said he found no difference.
Athletes were more likely to perform better wearing the second bracelet they put on, largely because they knew what to expect from the trial, said John Porcari, professor of exercise and sport science at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

"I think it is a scam," he said. "It has absolutely nothing to do with the bracelets. It is all in people's heads."

They gave them out to the members at the golf club i play at and I've worn one for about a year.  Yes, a crock but I like telling people that it enables me to perform amazing athletic movements and achieve purity of essence.

You'll notice there haven't been any tigers in Springfield since he started wearing that queer-ass thing on his wrist.

Dear Lord, my kids want those damn things. I keep tellin' 'em it's a scam, but they have selective belief systems to go with their selective hearing.

One of my golfing buddies wore one last Sunday.  In cold and damp conditions, he double-bogeyed #16, and finished on 78.  He better not leave that this lying around...

It's a fashion trend, I doubt any athlete in their right mind above the age of 12 believe that the bracelets or necklaces actually work.

And this is why the terrorists love Limey. Now they know what to call the trinkets with which they adorn their Bacha Bazi friends.
