I like beer more than I care about being fat...

Flint · 03-24-2008, 10:13 PM

Not that I'm obscenely obese or anything. But I keep telling myself that I should eliminate those excess beer calories... and I do, for a while. But, when the weather starts to get nice, and I'm grilling outside... hell, I want a cold, refreshing beer. . . . I'll buy new pants.

Aliantha · 03-24-2008, 10:14 PM

good for you.

Flint · 03-24-2008, 10:19 PM

I just watched Defending Your Life and, you know how in Judgement City they can eat whatever they want, just pig out?

Well, I said to my wife, "Hey, I already do that." We enjoy the simple things in life, like good food, good music... and doin' it.

Aliantha · 03-24-2008, 10:21 PM

there's nothing wrong with that.

Flint · 03-24-2008, 10:23 PM

Maybe this should be in the Philosophy section.

a cold refreshing beer on a nice summer's day will not make you fat.

A six pack a day, however, will.

When I'm grilling and drinking an ice cold one on a summer evening, when the ocean breeze has just kicked up to take the edge off the heat of the day, surrounded by friends and loved ones, I get that feeling of deep, deep satisfaction that reminds me why I'm alive.

I love beer
I really love it

I hate fat
or more specifically, I hate being single and feeling unattractive

I use 90% of my brain trying to resolve the dilemma

I like beer.
It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer.
It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow
Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer.

I wish my mom thought this way, but I think society's image consciousness and Weight Watchers has got her brainwashed.

I for one choose two believe what a wise man once said: "The 'fat epidemic' is BULLSHIT!" and "The BMI is BULLSHIT!"

Aliantha · 03-25-2008, 05:58 PM

Well, I don't think the fat epidemic is bullshit, but I think people have the right to be fat if that makes them happy.

If it doesn't make them happy, they shouldn't drink too much beer.

A long-time friend had to give up her alcohol intake. She is over-weight and now has a heart condition.....Sucks. Who in the hell is going to help me drink Baltika? She is the only person I know that would do something like that. Sucks for her and now it's sucking for me. Hey what happened to our "rock and roll" lifestyle?

I guess it goes with the territory..I got married and she had to quit drinking....We used to be so Ab-Fab. Now we're just ab-flab and no fun. plbbbt.

That reminds me of something Drew Carrey said. He said, "My doctor told me if I stop eating donuts I could live another 20 years. So I told him, yes, but it would be 20 years without donuts."

You could work out every single day, and eat crappy rabbit food that has no real taste, and then get hit by a truck. I say, life is short. I'm willing to give up a few years if I can enjoy the ones I have right now.
