TBD

I just sent Denny a message and asked if his mom mentioned anything to him.

so i just watched the star trek convention doc called trekkies.  now im watching these star wars docs about star wars conventions.  god, these conventions and people that attend them are so damn fascinating to me.  i want to go to them and study the people.  what are the best local dc conventions to go to?  i dont care about the topics . . . just the people who attend them, are my obsession.

So you don't add salt to meat when you cook it?

i think that has too much girly girl cosplay for me.  i think im looking for more conventions with adults who dont know theyre not twelve, geek science, who collect action figures and hate the fact its called 'cons' now instead of conventions.  i think i miss the nineties.

no it cant.  you take the best steak and you give it a nice light coat of fresh ground sea salt and cracked peppercorns.  then you brown it in a iron skillet.  then you place hunks of no salt butter on top of it and put the whole thing in to the oven, pan and all at three fifty to finish cooking.  so there.

i always wondered what non-salted butter was for.

nah i do. i'm just saying it could stand on it's own and be delicious as is.  i normally don't do anything to filets or pork chops, in the rare occasions i cook them.

I don't eat beef fielts or pork chops doesn't appeal to me.  BUt fruit and vegatables taste great without any spices and they are good for you.  I don't think anything tastes as good as fresh blueberries.  Or radishes.  Yummy. 

good, lord

So did the Biggest Loser lose too much weight?

No, she looks great.  Good for her.  I hope she can continue healthy eating and exercising habits.

It isn't healthy to be that skinny. She is probably less healthy than before.

So her being 10 pounds underweight is worse than her being 140 pounds overweight?

NO. 

You are correct on this one.

It's not a question of her being 10 pounds overweight vs. 10 pounds underweight. It's your question.

I think she's look better with 10 or 15 pounds back on her, but my opinion doesn't matter.

I like skinny women.

It is far healthier to be lean and strong than lean and weak.  Skinny =/= healthy.

140 pounds overweight isn't "lean" anything.  And if she lost the weight with eating healthy and exercising, then what is the problem?  That she is too skinny in some of your eyes?  I think she looks great and said so.  Good for her.

Leaning on the kitchen counter while you're inhaling a gallon of ice cream.

It is healthier being the amount overweight than the amount underweight she is.   I used to work for a company where I predicted who would die in the next year and being underweight was a parameter that predicted such things.  Unless you are morbidly obese it doesn't predict anything for the short-term. When you are that skinny you don't have any back-up in case you get sick.
