Wanna See A Genius?

Posted by TFG on 21st April 2005

Then go to Club Dada tonight for Colin Boyd. As you know, it takes a lot to get the Genius label out of me, but Colin is the deal, daddio.

Excellent booking by the Little Lady. I’d be there, but I’m at El Rancho Borracho to spend an evening with Mini-Me and my son-in-law.

Travel Wardrobe

Posted by TFG on 21st April 2005

I’ve gotta get some of these shirts ASAP:

No extra screening, no removing the shoes, no second glance, no nothing. My $30 purchase greased the skids at one of the tightest airports in the country; an airport that remained closed for months after September 11th, due to security concerns.

That’s a life-hack if I ever heard one…

Advantage: Fat Guy

Posted by TFG on 21st April 2005

Now they say it’s OK to be a Fat Guy:

About 112,000 deaths in 2000 were blamed on obesity, according to new estimates from scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health.

That is much lower than a highly publicized figure released in March 2004 when other CDC researchers estimated that about 400,000 deaths were associated with obesity, poor diet and inactivity. That number was later lowered to 365,000 when problems with the calculations were detected.

There’s a shocker - overestimated by a teensy 400%. Wanna bet they’re gonna ask for more tax money to figure out why? How about we do this: ignore all the freaking eggheads snarfing at the government trough, and we just use our damn common sense? It’s not likely that they’re going to shrink the trough, even if they’re wrong as hell most of the time, but isn’t this a great example of government idiocy?

Look, everybody knows it’s not good to be fat. Your knees hurt, your feet hurt, your back hurts, and you always have to buy new britches with expand-o-matic waist bands. But it’s quite obviously not the death sentence they said it was if you’re carrying a few extra pounds.

As Stryker says, though — “I thought the risk of death was still 100%”
