Re: the Fat Poll. I am not fat. I am a 5’-10” senior male at 125 lbs. I eat donuts, cheeseburgers and French fries at least once a week. I use real butter, not margarine, and lots of it. I’m a poster child for “Don’t Eat That!” My treadmill is a coat rack and my stationary bike is . . . stationary. People hate me.
Yes, I am fat, but if Ronny Jackson were to compare my physique to Orange Jesus, he would have to declare that I am an Adonis who would put The Rock in his prime to shame.
For perhaps the first time in my life I am not actually overweight. I am one of the few who actually lost weight during Covid (a combination of circumstances unlikely to be repeated). I was convinced that the lost weight was in the form of muscle mass and bone density, so I was not necessarily thrilled about it, though getting below the target weight I'd been striving for since college (some 60 years) was gratifying. I've since gained back some of the weight, but unfortunately I know it's not bone, though some of it might be muscle.
Sorry. Hard as I tried, couldn't come up with any questions. Only an answer. The only answer, whatever the question. "CorruptwitchhuntDemjudgefaketotallyunqualifiedlosersandsuckersRINO statementcomingsoonriggederahwaga!"
Did someone say euphemisms for (whispered) "fat ?" There's um..."big boned," "fluffy," "curvy," "generous," "atta pose!" (okay, made that up...), "corpulent, zaftig, patapouf (sounds so much better in French, n'est-ce pas?). But with the advent of the fat acceptance movement, said to have started with a "fat-in" in Central Park in 1967, these may not be necessary for much longer. And for the "originalists" among us, "fat" historically had many positive meanings in fact, for a very long time excess body baggage was considered a sign of wealth and prosperity. Go ahead. Make Gene's day, you unrepentant wags.

Justifiably
The Eric Q&A is excellent.

There's fat, then there's this.

Orange 1 on "The Biggest Loser ?" You betcha. Have his own special with bigly ratings.
I am short and round, but fairly dense--I don't look as fat as I actually am.
An appropriate tune from the late DC singer Root Boy Slim, who still owes me money.
