Right. They don't exist.

THIS EXPLAINS RUSH LIMBAUGH IN ONE SENTENCE!

They are also too dumb to stop eating!

Is Limbaugh obese? I would definitely consider him overweight, but that doesn't mean obese. When I hear the word obese I think of those people you have to move with a forklift.

oh wait thats right obesity is now a disease so they need free health care

A six-foot tall man that weighs more than 225 pounds would be considered medically obese. It's based on a BMI of 30 or more.

Free? Who's been lying to you?

You should be mad at them for making you stupid.

it would be impossible for me to be stupid...

Eplains you being a humorless fuck.

Ok 400 lbs is large no matter how tall you are.

I just have a tough time calling someone who is 6'2" who weighs 240, "obese". Hell, a friend of mine is 6'6" and weighs an easy 280 and I would never call him fat to his face.

"I would never call him fat to his face."

Well, you might.
Once.

'Six foot six and weighed 245'

Tax - That's a sad perspective on the state of Americans. Someone who is 6'2" and physically fit should only weigh about 195 pounds.

Red, I understand your point, and trust me I stay fit, but I know many people that work out daily, watch what they eat, and take decent care of themselves who would be considered obese for BMI purposes. I just think there is a big difference between someone who is 6'2" and weighs 230 and someone of the same height who weighs 280.

Tax, I understand. I'm 6'0" and weigh 204, inspite of going to the gym 5 days a week. I'm also in my 60's which has something to do with it. I think another good measure is body composition. If your 6'2" friend is 30% fat, he's got a problem. If he's 18% fat he's a body builder. Big difference.

Good point red, I think you need to do one of those pinchy test thingies on someone before you call them obese.

And damn you Zat, I had long forgotten that stupid song, and now it is back to haunt me.

Hell, a friend of mine is 6'6" and weighs an easy 280 and I would never call him fat to his face.

.........Well she might be ugly, she might be fat but I never met a person who would, tell her that. She's my bleach blond bomber, my heavy handed Hackensack Mamma........

Round and round, Round and round........

Plus, now I want some suasage patties.

I meant sausage. I have no idea what "suasage" is, but it is probably from the middle east and I won't eat it.

I think this is "suasage".

"now it is back to haunt me"

Another successful post.

"I had long forgotten that stupid song..."

I can't believe you just referred to 'Big John' as a "stupid" song.

May you rot in hell.

Well, I was looking for an explanation of how Americans got to be the reactionary, ineducable, selfish, wingnut creatures they have become, and now I have it.

Fathead!

Ever see a really old fat person?

My mother-in-law is quite rotund.

We are going to New York in October to celebrate her 90th birthday.

90!! Bless her heart!

Happy BDay...early!

Thanks, Lisa

We just got her a new computer. She had an iMac for years but now she has a PC.

She likes the PC better.

Awwww...really??? That is cute! My father is -n his seventies and can't work a VCR much less a compuiter!!! Lol

I help care for the mother of one of my husbands buddies. She doesn't know I'm there to help her, she tells everyone I am her best friend.

She has Alzimers (sp).she forgets everything, including her meds....and half the time my name but she always remembers that I am her best friend.

She is 83.

I wouldn't miss these times with her for the world!!!

Does this mean a certain screwy named after a peanut butter transgendered DR poster's morbidly obese black UAW significant other is even dumber than he is?

Hell ya........ Haven't you ever seen doc?

The growing rolls of fat draping people's bottoms as they age might protect them from breaking their hips during falls, Canadian researchers report today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Since 1985, the hip fracture rate across Canada adjusted for an aging population has plummeted almost 32 per cent in women and 25 per cent in men, the study says.

While better osteoporosis diagnosis, drugs and treatments and fall prevention strategies have certainly played a role, more body padding is another explanation.

"It's one of the interesting hypotheses," says Dr. Bill Leslie, a University of Manitoba medical professor and the lead study author.

"Individuals who are underweight ... don't have that padding."

That brings to mind, what ever happened to Larry Mohr on the DR? Did he switch to another handle?

That explains mike moore

It's not the fat that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end.

All kidding aside, the problem with excessive fat is not so much the fat that you eat but how much. Eating fat is necessary for people who burn a lot of calories and fat contains more vitamins then lean meat. That's why the pilgrims, early explorers and prospectors, that had very little fresh vegetables, preferred bear meat or wild pig over venison. The real death to the American middle class is refined sugars. A meal high in fat that's washed down with soda and chased with a sugary desert causes the body to store the fat and burn the sugar first.

I think RingMaster is right...

what ever happened to Larry Mohr on the DR

He took his cookies and went home.

Maybe he still lurks, but I haven't seen a post for awhile.

He said he realized posting here was meaningless, so why do it.

I, on the other hand, realize posting here is meaningless and think that it an excellent reason to do it.

When you have done as much shit as I have and had a lot of it blow up in your face, you begin to appreciate meaningless activities more.

Also, after I gave up skirt chasing, I needed a new hobby.

And to think all this time I was blaming it on drug and alcohol abuse in my ill spent youth and it was really the hamburgers and twinkies doing it.

Thanks for making me laugh. After 62 years on the planet, I can see that.

When the Universe asks "Why?"

Spud usually goes with "Why Not?"

Spud sez Eff the ineffable.

Spud only posts at the Retort in order to keep hisself out of smokey poolrooms and dancehalls fulla painted ladies.

Doesn't always werk, of course.

Just sayin'.
