Sure, it looked like a glamorous position when you attended your friend's wedding last month.

You even thought, hey, I would like to do that. Now it's time to tell you the truth!

LONDON (Reuters) - Overweight people eat more than thin people and are more likely to travel by car, making excess body weight doubly bad for the environment, according to a study from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. "When it comes to food consumption, moving about in a heavy body is like driving around in a gas guzzler," and food production is a major source of greenhouse gases, researchers Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts wrote in their study, published in the Intern...

You're fat ass doesn't like tap water? What about the half-a-ton of Big Mac's you've shoved down your throat over the years? I guess that doesn't count you sweaty bastard."Tap water gives me a bad aftertaste" he then says. Aftertaste? Aftertaste?

Ok, ok. After my earlier rant, and subsequent ball-breaking from my boss, I tried to get the mother of the "sweet 16 girl" the other day to pay the $210 she owed us for the few last minute arrivals. And guess what happened? By the time I left to make the banquet check out and then returned to the room, she left.Not only her, but all 40 of the little stink-head kids. The other parents, the DJ, the old grandma in the walker, the whole bunch. Even the balloon centerpieces were gone! WTF!!... Read Full Story
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: Think of it this way… What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at a... Read Full Story
