| OH... MY... GOD!  As if one of those Burger King patties wasn't bad enough, why would anyone want 7 of them??? Besides, do they think people can unhinge their jaws like sharks?

| The possibilities are endless when you live in a country without anti-fat fascists.

EDIT: >> The possibilities are endless when you live in a country without anti-fat fascists. My point exactly. Actually, Austin is a bit of a paradox in that respect. There, the steak-houses have bike-racks so that the diners can resume their normal health-conscious activities after the fact.  Last edited by Sebastiani; 10-22-2009 at 09:28 PM. | |

 Austin is a pretty cool city, though. Besides being an overall hip place, there's always fun stuff to do and plenty of natural beauty (and more importantly, great food!). It's definitely a quirky place, though. My first day in town I got stuck on a one-lane road behind this guy riding what appeared to be an oversized tricycle, with a sign on the back reading "Stop The War!!!" or such. I just kept honking my horn, all the while thinking "WTF?! This guy's got a lot of nerve riding on the roadway!", and in response he would just calmly reach up and squeeze a little bulb-type "clown" horn. The exchange was actually quite comical, really. Anyway, later, of course, I learned that bikes (and trikes, I guess) are allowed in the rightmost lane of most roads! Funny thing is, after that I wound up behind that guy numerous times. Except, by then I had grown so accustomed to bikes on the road that it was just like "Oh hey, there's that crazy war-protesting tricyclist!". The oddity kind of grows on you, after a while. | |

| If you thought it ended there, they're even catering to really desperate anime freaks. Quote:

But seriously, if anything, fat reserves probably create more opportunies for infection/illness than otherwise. Ultimately though, overall health is a much more important consideration than weight. I'd choose fat and vigorous over skinny and weak any day. | |
