I wholeheartedly agree with Christopher Hitchens! A picnic with lobster and champagne? I'd rather have a burger, fries, and a beer at a bar!

^ And un-American since I eschew the gods of consumerism, mass culture, and expense solely to brag.

p.s. I also do not require that my burger be made from ground Kobe/Wagu beef and topped with cloth-bound cheddar. But, I will, however, get upset if the beer is watered-down macro-brewed lager-piss!

They may as well, when they're not armed those NRA pussies seem to be afraid of everything.

There is a big storm in the north end of my city but the south end is sunny. The city is only 8 miles long...

My roommate is apparently on a diet, yet yesterday she had ichiban (which for her is two packs), three-piece fish and chips, about a dozen cookies, and an entire pack of smokies, all washed down with about 1.5L of Coke. This was all after 5pm. And she wonders why she can't lose any weight.

I think she got more fish and chips today.

Edit: Oh look, a frozen pizza, too!

Congrats! The best part about living in the US is that you actually have to deal with a bill for all that.

Took a day off of work today so I can go to the doctor. Chest pains, dizzy spells. Either I have high blood pressure or I'm dying.

Well hopefully it's not high blood pressure. I've heard that's just no fun at all.

^Me too. My sister had the same symptoms a while ago and now she's on blood pressure medicine.
I had a several dizzy spells last week at work, once while I was on the forklift. Luckily I didn't pass out and drive off the ramp. Scary.

Well I'm back from the doctor and everything seems to be OK, perhaps way too much caffeine? At least it's not my heart or blood pressure. All I accomplished today was getting Dr. Wang to reprimand me for not coming in more. Haven't paid him a visit since 2008 and haven't had a full physical since....errrr.......I'm guessing a few of you weren't even born when I had my last full physical, sooooo in the next few weeks I'll be getting blood work, a colonoscopy (goddamnit) and a full, after 50 checkup.....YAY!

Glad it was good news rock. I know it's hard to put up with those full exams, but it's gotta be done after 50. Same with the colonoscopy (don't worry they knock ya out for that one - nice nap). Now if we could only get you to see the shrink............
