Some lady asked me at work the other day to add up the 4 packs of ground beef she was buying saying, "I hate when they put those little point things in there." I think she meant decimal points. Looking back, the funniest part of the story is that I added them up wrong. Oops!! I spent the rest of the day feeling like an idiot.
Also, I often get mad at the HUGE men and women at the grocery store and wonder how they can have no self control... but then I remember how good Entemann's coffee cakes are and I let it slide. At over 1,800 calories for one of those things (yeah I can and have eaten a whole one in a sitting... judge away) I realize I could look like them someday. EEEKK.............

Karl,
Honestly, working in the food industry makes you hate people and realize how disgusting they are. Sometimes I think I have bad eating habits, then I think of all the people who would come to Scott's and only buy Velvetta, potato chips, and soda. And I feel good again
I love how our magnanimous nature and massive capacity for mercy allow us to look upon the folly of others and say no more than "There, for the grace of God, go I."
; )
Or as they say in Springfield: “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man."
Hey, you guys better watch it! I read this blog, and I'm a fat person!
Seriously, we live in a culture where we don't have to do much physical labor to survive. When I got back to Indiana after my class reunion, I heard all the stories about the youth conference here where all the kids dressed like pioneer and pulled handcarts in the summer heat for three days. It gives just a glimpse of what life was like 100-150 years ago, before cars were invented.
I just got back from walking to the bank, the lawyer's and the post office, and remembered Ed's death march down in Hilton Head when he made me walk six miles in 97 degree heat. i would have been a dead pioneer, or I would have lost weight really fast. So cheers (with a 24-ounce bottle of Mountain Dew) to our great society in 2007!
Oh, by the way, it sound like you guys saw the Simpson movie, Edward. How was it?
Love you all,
Claudia
hey i am a fattie with no self controll. i am that velvetta, potatp chip, soda person. - ok maybe not the velvetta (yuck) and thats a diet soda. (and thats not for the dietness)I will go to the hostess outlet store for some bread and walk out with ho-ho's with carmal, donuts, zingers, and what ever little cake type of thing. (oh yea and the bread) boy and i wonder why i am so fat. i think i should sue hostess for opening an outlet store where things are cheaper, cause its not my fault that i am fat its theres -- right -- isn't that how everyone is getting rich these days - by blaming someone else for their issues.
i didn't realize hostess had an outlet store. that is interesting. stacey, i agree that accountability is very important. do the crime, do the time, right?

We DID see the Simpsons Movie, but that quote is from a much earlier episode.
The movie was alright. Which was weird. It was JUST LIKE watching an episode. No better and no worse. Which is just fine.
I think it proves that the Simpsons' creators are basically bullet-proof. They made a movie out of one of their 22-minute episodes and it survived the translation.
Zach Smith was talking about seeing it five days a week while it was still in the theaters. I know he saw it at least four times last weekend.
Go Zach go!
I didn't know about the hostess outlet store either until I moved basically right next to one. Haven't tried going in there yet... I'm more of a little debbie guy myself... swiss cake rolls are way better than whatever that hostess rip off is.
