Get a stability ball, lay on top of it, with the ball under your stomach. It cuts the weight you have to lift to a manageable amount if you haven't got the arm strength to lift your whole body weight. Plus, your legs on the other side of the ball give you some leverage, like a see-saw. As you get better, you can move the ball lower to decrease the leverage and increase the amount of weight your arms are supporting.
This is the way I do them, because I can't do regular ones. Eventually, I expect to do regular push-ups, but I figure that it's more important that I'm getting a good workout and improving than that I meet some external standard of "correct" push-ups.

It's pretty weird, cause I can lift much, but I'm unable to perform push-ups. Also, my wrists hurt when I try it.
Edit: I'm the party place for viruses and bacteria, Bama, don't worry. ;-)
Before the other guy, when someone's French wasn't so good but they had to use it anyway they just looked like an asshole. Now they can warn people. We're all better off for this.

Someone in the push-ups thread (mcdermott?) was saying they do them on their knuckles to keep their wrists from hurting. I can't even imagine trying that, though. Also, depending on what type of lifts you are doing, they may be using different muscle groups than the push-ups.

We may be discussing separate uses of the phrase. It’s more likely you’re being difficult, though. :P

I got into the habit of doing pushups on my knuckles a while back and it now feels weird to do them on my palms. I don't remember my wrists hurting, though.

Don't hate on the phrase for a particular usage. I mean, heroin is pretty bad but we don't curse the guy that invented the hypodermic needle. [TINY]I'm totally being difficult.[/TINY]
When I worked security at Banker's Hall in Calgary someone had left the door to the Royal Bank unlocked one night (!). We ended up having to do a thorough search of Calgary's largest Royal Bank to ensure that no one had come in. They have a goddamn bedroom in the back.

For entertaining clients or for sleeping?

So a friend of mine called yesterday. He was passing through town but his flight got delayed so he was going to miss his connection and didn't want to spend the night in the airport (the next flight out is leaving right about now, actually). Being the awesome friend that I am, I told him he could sleep at my house. He got in at 11, we got back to my house around 12, we drank beers until 1:30, I got up at 5 to make my 7 am flight this morning, I have a meeting in an hour and I feel fucking fantastic. Being in your 20s is so awesome.

I'd be useless on three and a half hours sleep.

And their billing department is closed. Stupid timezones.
Edit: It was definitely Blizzard, I checked on the actual account page and it was cancelled. The only thing I can think of is that my card expired, but that was about 4 months ago.

1) Music journalism is so boring.
2) Corporate sponsorship is at ridiculous levels.

Pardon my French, but....

They are cancelling everyone's account, it's their first step to world domination.

Either that, or someone spoofing them is trying to get you to give away account information.

I'd say the second is more likely.
Someone took the PayPal spoof model and applied to to the world's largest MMO. It was only a matter of time.
We don't want your stinking money. Seriously, do you know how much cash people are just throwing at us these days? Fuck you.

When do they transport all the WoW players to the acid mines on Neptune?
