To the obese mid-20s man loading up on cola, Oreos, potato chips, and fried chicken… let me guess, your New Year’s Resolution is to become a huge, grotesque bulk of cellulite. There wasn’t one healthy item in your shopping cart. The only excuse for all that crap is you’re either having a party for 1000 people… or a party for yourself (eating enough food for 1000 people). Time to lose the weight. Join a gym for Christ’s sake. —GroceryGal
This article appears in Dec 23-29, 2010.
To the mid-20’s Cole Harbour High Drop-Outs manning the cash registers in the grocery store: never you fucking well mind what’s in the cart; just make sure you add it up properly, give back correct change and dream of your next smoke break and/or the acceptance letter to Hairdresser Academy. Join a Gym? Get your fucking G.E.D.
Bahaha well said, Ivan.
Thanks O-man. I gotta apologize to all Cole Harbour Alumni, Beauticians and cashiers that I may have inadvertently offended. I’m having a crap day and the tone of this bitch really fried my prairie oysters. The “Generously Over-Proportioned” have enough obstacles in life, many of them self-inflicted , many of them self-remedied. The shallow and judgemental don’t need to be one of them.
Yo bitch, don’t forget to smile and tell me to have a nice day when you hand me my change. Also, try not to get fucked up at the Liquor Dome, ah-ight?
Jesus Grocery Gal, lighten up and mind your own business. If someone wants to eat themselves to death, it’s the business of them and their family to do so. This food is available and cheap, it’s no wonder so many people go overboard with it – but in any case, IT’S STILL NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
What business is it of yours what is in anyone else’s cart? Oh, thats right, NONE!
And how do you know all that food was for him? You see a big person with a cart full of less-good-for-you items and you automatically assume its all his. And if you haven’t noticed the less healthy stuff is much cheaper than healthier options, perhaps that is all he can afford: why buy 3 days worth of healthy items when you could potentially get a week’s worth of food otherwise. . If natural (and by natural I mean unprocessed etc) foods weren’t so expensive more people would be able to buy them.
And really: live and let live. His buying what he did didn’t in anyway harm you. Leave him be, and go back to doing your job and shut your yap.
It’s not the cashier’s job to decide what people should eat, but truly all of us have taken a look in other peoples’ carts as we pass in grocery stores. Just from looking at the cart’s contents you can tell if the person lives a healthy lifestyle or not, or from the size of their ass.
I eat that shit too but I’m a skinny motherfucker, would you have made the same judgment if it was a thin person buying the same junk food? No, because you don’t actually give a shit about peoples’ health you just flat out hate fat people. If you hate fat people just come out and say it instead of trying to mask it as bullshit health concern for random strangers.
God I hate people like you.
get stuffed bitch gal…and go choke on a chicken
Heh heh he… choke a chicken… chicken choking is cheap entertainment – and low fat too!
Hooray for low-impact cardio. Giggity >; )
hmmm, by saying that you are what you eat, must make you a dickhead then o.p.? mind your own fucking business,, and let the guy eat what the fuck ever he wants to. i wish someone would say something like that to me, to my face, bet their ass would have my foot up it.
I fucking LOVE you, Snoop!
Gotta love the skinnies who hate on fats behind computer screens. They’d never do it on the streets out of fear of a beatdown or backhand to the nose.
Snoop: props.
Ivan: amazing 😀
Let he who is without sin… jus’ sayin’
Now I feel like pop and chips. 🙁
not surprising since you look like a fat, little raccoon.

Good morning from Montreal.
It’s good to see the intellectual tone of the Bitches improving.
The assertion, “You are what you eat” is, of course, a direct translation of “Man ist was er isst,” the most famous assertion of the 19th. century German philosopher Fueurbach. (“The Theses of Fueuerbach.”)
The cashier is to be congratulated for her philosophical acumen.
Cheerio!
http://southparkstudios.mtvnimages.com/ima…
While I agree with minding my own business and such, when I was a cashier I actually felt BAD ringing through junk food for people who had visible weight issues or children. Heck, I even felt bad for the skinny people who would load up on our 99 cent pop and chips. But of course I would never say anything, I just felt like a bartender giving too many drinks to someone when I knew I shouldn’t. I felt even worse ringing through laxitives to a skeleton that would come in. She would actually buy every single last of our store brand laxitives on the shelf…so sad :(. My bro who works at a coffee place feels bad giving two bacon and egg breakfast sandwiches, two hashbrowns, and an extra large triple triple every morning to a regular customer. Ohh well none of our biniss.
Well, all I can think to say to you, montrealman, is …

Kudos to Kim_NS for improving the humourous tone of the Bitch section:)
…so you guys see an obese person with a shopping cart full of junk food, and none of you think to yourself that this person needs a lifestyle adjustment? You must all be saints.
I don’t care if you all virtually stone me for saying this, but I’m with the OP on this one: it disgusts me too. Whether or not the assumption is right (hey, maybe he IS hosting a party), it’s still a visual reminder of the obesity epidemic.
As someone who takes care of himself, it gets quite frustrating to see teens or twenty-somethings, who already have a hard time walking because of the weight they carry, limp their way into MacDonald’s…
True, on a case by case basis, what you put in your shopping cart is none of my business. However, the healthcare costs associated with obesity have surpassed those associated with smoking. The aging of the population means that less and less people will foot the bill…and that’s everybody’s business.
zZz called me fat 🙁 Now I am so stressed that I will have to go get me some junk food to feel better about myself.
NotsoNTH…. maybe go get a double bigmac, see if you can get bacon & extra cheese on it as well, don’t forget to supersize it & go for the diet soda , so its not too ba d for you !
~;)
http://www.bangitout.com/uploads/81supersi…
I did say you look fat… not that you are for certain.
there could be a Big Mamma’s Raccoon House thing going on there I’m not privy to.
Fuck changing our collective lifestyles as a society. We don’t need to encourage non-sedentary lifestyles, work to provide healthy food options in our schools and workplaces, fund childrens sports activities, or push to educate the public about preventative measures… no, lets just be a dick to individual fat people…. that’ll work.
Lets just ignore MOMO syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, and Cohen syndrome… and assume that all fat people are lazy pigs who deserve to be mocked.
OP isn’t making a profound statement about the obesity epidemic, OP is just being a dick.
http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/arts/photos/2…
Haha you guys are too funny…I was just joking about going to a fast food restaurant…was kind of trying to argue that extra stress put on people with weight issues (by giving them hard time about their weight) do not help them. I certainly feel the urge to reach for that piece of chocolate covered wafers when I am under stress. But I ended up getting some rice and lamb….equally yummy and fulfilling. 🙂 I haven’t been to a fast food restaurant in a while, and have never touched that diet soda stuff (I react badly to that fake sugar stuff).
zZz, this raccoon looks plump enough and ready for BBQ but still within the single digit when it comes to clothing size. 😀
snoop, I would say that maybe we need to change the society first, the kind of society that thrives on making huge profit off addictive and unhealthy junk food. Selling fast food is hugely profitable. Those fast food companies also have huge competitions, so they have got to constantly come up with ways to attract customers…more food for less cost (who cares about what actually goes into that stuff we call “food”), making things “tastier” by adding more of the addictive stuff, advertising it 24/7 on TV so people think about their food all the time…. It takes a lot of willpower to resist the temptation, especially if you are busy and poor and looking for a quick, cheap solution to satisfying hunger.
if you’re that busy, you should likely be planning your meals so you don’t go hungry for 6-8 hrs at a time…
and as a guy, if my clothing were single digits, I’d make ghandi look like King Kong Bundy
I’ll never get why women’s clothes aren’t just the regular, bloody size…
I mean, is it that the labels think you’ll be so narcissistic that you’d rather be a made-up (and only applicable to this company’s sizing) size of 7 than a factual and universal 30″ waist?
I suppose I just have a hard time dealing with a scale where 00 < 0
makes no bloody sense to me.
just like the <3 asscone^^
Actually zZz, I meant “hungry” as in “poor and hungry”, not “hungry because I haven’t eaten due to being too busy”.
I actually saw this “sizing chart” on an online store that said “these sizes are North American sizes, not Asian sizes”, meaning even the same numbers could mean different sizes depending on where you live. lol From experience, I know jean sizes that come in “inches” are not quite “universal” either. I bought a pair of jeans in Asia where I was whatever inches, and then bought a pair of jeans in Canada and I was 2 inches smaller!
Another aside, paint brushes are smaller with more 0’s.
smaller, or finer?
finer, sorry 🙂
Now I just want one or two of those bacon and cheese sandwiches that come between two fried chicken breasts.
you bitches best not be pick’n on my beeatch NtNTH 🙂
Hello again from Montreal!
Just a comment or two on the replies to my comment of December 30 (9:50AM).
: Ivan ((10:09AM) posted a cartoon which may, or may not, have been a response to my comment. In either case, it was too profound (or simplistic) for me to grasp.
: Kim (10:59AM) posted a video consisting of two young people (a guy and a girl) in a car pulling up alongside that of a distinguished-looking gentleman and asking for a jar of Grey Poupon mustard. If I were the distinguished-looking gentleman (which I am) I would have given the guy the Grey Poupon and pulled the girl’s panties down and given her a good spanking.
: Oceanchick (11:57AM) congratulates Kim for improving the “humourous tone” of the Bitches (a reference to mine about improving the “intellectual tone” of the Bitches). But Oceanchick, my comment WAS intended as humourous. Someone once said – it might have been me – that humour consists of juxtaposition. I was juxtaposing the cashier at the supermarket – one not ordinarily given to philosophical reflection – with the “Theses of Fueurbach,” the 19th. century German philosopher. I thought it was a real knee-slapper, but I might have been wrong. I’ll try harder next time.
Cheerio!

Let’s try again.

LMFAO KIm. >: )
Snoop, your comments are usually well articulated and I enjoy reading them, but honestly I think your last one is a little off the mark.
So the OP is being a dick to that guy by…venting anonymously on here? Chances are she didn’t say anything about it while on the job. Yes, we’re all aware the medical conditions you mentionned exist, but sorry, if I see an obese guy pushing a cart full of corn dogs, pizza pops, cheetohs, ice cream and coke bottles, I will put two and two together whether it’s justified or not in this particular case. That’s perception. I don’t think you’re being honest to say you could help having the same thougths if you saw that guy at the grocery store or walking in a fast food joint.
Nowhere in my post did I say anything against the initiatives you list to prevent the spread of obesity. In fact, I agree with you that our governments should be doing more. However, we also have to stop stripping the individual of all responsibility when it comes to this issue. I agree that collectively we need to do more…but most of all individuals have to take action, too.
notso – society is lazy & stupid, parent refuse critism, and claim entitlement on how they raise and “nuture” their children. I read in recient news that 2/3 of 17-24 yr olds are too fat to join the american forces, and of the remainder, only 25% can pass the entry exam – lazy and stupid.
Annie, I’m not supprised that you missed “jack ass”, a bit dissapointed again, but not supprised, damm you can’t even slove for X. 8/x = 4. By the way, you’re not an obsession, just a little game I play when I have a few minutes to waste. Have you gotten a book published yet?
A Happy New Year from Montreal to everyone in the Halifax Underclass, and thanks in particular to Ivan for his kind wishes.
I’ve been pondering a particular matter since yesterday but only this morning did the penny drop. I’m calling it,
THE STRANGE CASE OF THE GREY POUPON
Readers will recall that Kim_NS posted a video (Dec. 30, 10:09AM) showing two young people pulling up in their car alongside that of a distnguished, prosperous-looking gentleman and asking for a jar of Grey Poupon mustard. The gentleman was clearly disconcerted, the young couple laughed, and then drove away. For some reason Kim found this amusing, but it was not until later that I discovered why.
Kim then posted another video (Dec. 31, 10:22AM) in which Ivan and myself, in the persons of two other distinguished, prosperous-looking gentlemen, had parked on a country road facing in opposite directions. One offered the other his Grey Poupon which the recipient proceeded to put on his hot dog. (There might have been some symbolism here.) The owner of the Grey Poupon was flabbergasted at this lapse in etiquette. Instead, he put his Grey Poupon on his bologna sandwich which, he indicated, was of a superior standing to the hot dog. As with the first video, Kim found this amusing for some reason, but it took a while to figure out why. What was going on here?
Slowly it dawned on me. Kim was portraying class distinctions based on diet, a very appropriate topic in view of the title of this thread. In both cases the gentlemen were clearly of the Upperclass. Insightfully, Kim had portrayed the Grey Poupon as an Upperclass marker! In addition, the gentlemens’ stereotypically effete mannerisms marked their class which, in true Underclass fashion, Kim saw as an object of mirth. The message was clear: The Underclass doesn’t eat Grey Poupon and anyone who does is putting on airs. Their diet consists, rather, of corn dogs, pizza pops, cheetos, ice cream and Coke, and they better know their place!
Previously I identified the Underclass markers primarily in intellectual terms. I now think that a new, rich seam of Underclass markers – that of diet – has been revealed. Thank you for that Kim! Thank you!
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2009…
So close, annie, so close, but you’re still wrong. The message was….despite differences of appearance, we are more alike than not. And those that put on false airs of superiority, are doing just that….putting on airs.
i ♥ hot mustard, wasabi and horseradish^^
“The message was clear”
Obviously not.
The question is: do I really want to analyse the fun out of everything?
Nope.
Here is a racy little video of that foxy blonde bombshell who was driving the pinto in the first film (you know–the one you expressed a desire to spank). Enjoy ; ):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiJzpCfOOVw…
Kim, I didn’t understand that at all. Sounded like Greek to me. LOL. I wonder if MM will get it.
I agree, let’s stop stripping overweight people of all responsibility (that’s obviously what I was doing so thank you so much for setting me straight). But let’s not do it by calling them “huge, grotesque bulks of cellulite”. Because that’s not solving anything, that’s not helping anything, that’s not initiating an in depth discussion about the problem of obesity, that’s just being a dick. Plain and simple.
I have more respect for dicks who will make fun of someone to their face so their targets have a chance to stand up for them-selves… than I do for dicks who do it anonymously over the internet. Doing that surpasses normal dickery into the realm of cowardly and dishonest dickery… which is the worst kind of dickery.
I submit that OP IS addressing this man specifically but is just too much of a cowardly dishonest DICK to do it to his face, that doesn’t make them a better person, it makes them a WORSE person. “To the obese mid-20s man loading up on cola, Oreos, potato chips, and fried chicken” It’s even dedicated “to” him… I rest my case.
And nowhere in my post did I say anything about how I was responding to your post…
Anyway on the topic of fat people, it can be argued that part of the reason why we, as a species desire to eat more than we need boils down to a left over evolutionary trait. Back in the day when our food was galloping around on the tundra and frolicking in meadows, it was considerably hard to come by. All of you who have tried chasing down and killing a deer with a pointy stick know exactly what I’m talking about. Because it was so hard to come by we evolved to eat… a lot… even if we were full… it could be weeks before another deer was dumb enough to run into your pointy stick. But now, we have excess food, and what’s more, most of that excess food is shitty for you. But we’re still eating it, a lot… because it’s in our freaking genes. Couple that with the fact that we no longer have to chase our food with pointy sticks and presto… fat people. Can this left over evolutionary trait be overcome? Yes. We overcome left over evolutionary traits every day… yay for us!
Why do fat people bother people around here so much, but smokers are seen as gods? We’ve already established that smoking costs the health care industry more than obesity (remember those ill analyzed stats posted a while back?), so what gives?
I really find it hard to believe that everyone on here bashing fatties are physical models of perfection. How’d you like it if someone commented on your dumpy ass or flat chest or bitch tits?
I doubt OP has a perfect body and perfect eating habits and hits the gym 6 days a week.
For double jeopardy…I’ll take obese smokers for $1000 Alex.
Interesting theory Snoop. I wonder what part addictions play in our evolutionary history? There sure are a lot of them to indulge in: food, drink, drugs, sex. Too much of the last three and operating that pointy stick gets even trickier…hehehe!
As an obese smoker, if I die young, then I can avoid such things as Alzheimer’s, diapers, and ratty old people’s homes where no one comes to visit, that gobble up all my pension cheques.
Oc – who said: One of these days Alice, straight to the Moon!
(I’m jst back from the neighbours levee, so I’m a little buzzed:-)
Snoop, anthropologically speaking, just a few hundred years ago we required about four thousand calories a day to suvive. Now, in an evolutionary blink of an eye, it’s down to…what 2500?
Fat taste good because, in the past we needed a high caloric intake. Have you ever noticed that when your iron level is low, you crave spinach, or some other dark green veg?
Oh Oh Pick me pick me I know I know. LOL
I never have an iron problem. Meat good, mmmmmmmmmm.
Tim; I don’t know if you ever mentioned it. Air, land or sea?
You are NOT what you eat, that’s a stupid old saying that originated before we knew DNA existed. A more correct saying would be “You are partially what you eat but mostly what your genes say you are.”
I’m not describing addiction, Oceanchick, that’s a whole other ballgame 🙂 but an interesting thought to consider from an evolutionary standpoint. And it’s not a theory, it’s a scientific fact. There’s also a shitload of them supporting the greater fact that your genes play the most important role in the type of body you ultimately end up with. Not the only role, the MOST IMPORTANT role. Genetics are fascinating, and too few people really understand their power and implications.
To put it simply, some people have good genes and with a good diet and consistent exercise, they can have the body of a supermodel. While some people have shitty genes and with a good diet and consistent exercise they… can’t. They can get as fit as their genes allow, and for some people (while they are actually fit and healthy for their genetic situation) that still means being fat, not as fat as they would be if they didn’t eat right and exercise, but fat enough to be ridiculed by our fat-phobic society. This is how the fitness industry is able to make millions marketing false hope “Buy this product and you’ll be ripped in six weeks!” It’s a clever ruse, genetics (along with the fact that the product flat out doesn’t work) prevent most people from attaining what the product promises because they simply don’t have the genes to look like the pro athletes (good genes) in the commercial. So they keep failing and spending more money on more bullshit with similar unfounded promises.
GOD DAMN fat people draining my tax dollars with their fatness! Actually there’s plenty of credible studies linking the risks of diseases (previously thought to increase if one was overweight) not to fat people specifically, but to sedentary people in general, fat AND thin. If you don’t support people being able to do what they want with their bodies as long as they aren’t hurting anyone else, then the “tax dollar angle” would be a sound argument. But if you’re going to rag on fat people for costing you tax dollars you also have to rag on the smokers, the drinkers, and the people who like to drive in cars. Because we all know that driving in cars significantly increases your chances of getting seriously injured and ending up in the hospital. God damn lazy assholes driving in cars!
Shifting ALL the blame onto an individual for being fat because of tired old stereotypes is frankly not supported by science or common sense. Thus, when I see a fat person eating deep fried ice-cream I honestly don’t think to myself “Eeeew what a fat fuck lazy sack of cellulite, gross, fucking asshole draining my tax dollars with their poor health, they need to hit the treadmill, yuck” When I see a fat person eating deep fried ice-cream I think to myself “God damn, I gotta get me some of that ice-cream.” and I walk my skinny ass over to the ice-cream shop and chow down on my ice cream while thanking my genetic predisposition towards being skinny.
Are fat people really assholes that deserve to be ridiculed and mocked for being flawed human beings? No one WANTS to be fat. They aren’t being fat on purpose just to piss you off, Jesus Christ.
Hugo, did a bit in all three, in the field, on ship, and air bases.

Awwww PG is puppy okay? woof woof!
Good morning from Montreal! A bit too warm for this time of year – it rained overnight! – but they say it will soon cool off and so be more seasonable.
Kim (Jan. 1, 11:48AM) takes issue with my brilliant analysis of her videos portraying Grey Poupon mustard as being an Upperclass (“Overclass”) marker. I maintained that Kim, being solidly a member of the Halifax Underclass, found – probably unknowingly – the videos funny for just this reason. The Overclass is, by its very nature, an object of humour (and therefore ridicule) in the eyes of the Underclass.
In response to my analysis of the real meaning of the videos Kim retorts, “Obviously not. The question: do I really want to analyse the fun out of everything?” In support she posted another video featuring some ugly freak doing his pelvic thrusts over a “foxy blond bombshell” who, I must admit, I wouldn’t mind spanking myself. And, disappointingly, there was not a jar of Grey Poupon in sight. But does does this carry the day for Kim? I would argue not. Rather, I maintain that the third video is irrelevant to the question – that of the validity of Grey Poupon as an Upperclass marker. (How many readers on this site – Underclass to a man – actually use Grey poupon? I thought so.)
But, in addition to diet, Kim – no doubt once again unknowingly – has opened up another rich seam of Underclass markers to be mined in future. She claims that she doesn’t really want “to analyze the fun out of everything.” This – the contrast between analysis and fun – is, of course, a typically Underclass distinction. One can have one or the other, but not both. The Upperclass sense of humour, however, sees no conflict. On the contrary, humour is seen as the natural OUTCOME of analysis. Recall my definition of humour as emerging out of an awareness of discrepant juxtaposition – my juxtaposing the supermarket cashier and the 19th. century German philosopher Fueurbach who were, if nothing else, radically discrepant in their intellectual concerns (where, that is, the cashier could be said to have any “intellectual concerns” at all). Being a member of the Overclass, I found the juxtaposition tremendously amusing, but it seems my mirth was not universally shared.
An aside: I have noticed that the comments on this site are invariably serious, solemn, even po-faced – see the current debate over the causes of obesity – and are totally devoid of humour except in cartoon form. What does this say about the Halifax Underclass?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
he has been throwing up all morning, but he’s drinking water and i will monitor him closely…rooooo
Has he been throwing up food etc., or is it just bile? How is his nose? Tongue? Pads of his feet? (Sweating/dry etc.?)
warning: dog talk…i had to pee at 6, he had peed in the bathroom so i let him out and cleaned it. he came in, had a drink of water, he blorked that up which he does anyway sometimes. he then proceeded to spew up runny looking shit smelling very viscous bile. i think he may have eaten some poop. after spewing every harf and hour for many hours, he is fine and sleeping with a cold nose and no tummy rumblings…he is a sensitive old gazehound…hey monsieur grrooo
“The message was….despite differences of appearance, we are more alike than not”
It’s like talking to Kay, isn’t it, Hugo (minus the blatant vulgarity)? Smashing your head repeatedly into a stone wall would have more effect.
Snickering and sneering, MM, does not elevate you but puts you firmly in the same ranks as those you proclaim to be above. It appears you have lost sight of the purpose of your self-appointed mission–to cleanup the unwashed masses. And the only thing that separated you from them–your Wellingtons–has appeared to have gotten stuck in the mud you decided to wade through. Tsk, tsk. Oh well, there is a certain primal pleasure to be found, I guess, in the feel of mud squishing between your toes. = )
Yeah PG, that’s what it sounds like. Monty’s done that a couple of times. As long as he’s not panting hard and dried out in nose/tongue area or sweating profusely fromn his pads it doesn’t sound too troublesome (except for the cleaning up part). How old is puppy?
he will be 12 on august the fourth…i know his exact dob because he raced at three tracks that have since closed^^

Pascal – “Pensées”
Kim – annie still doesn’t get it, never has, never will.
Remember, mm is a narcissist with a limited intellect, who refuses to acknowedge his own limitations and shortcomings (especially to himself). This narcissistic disorder requires him to attempt to belittle and discredit anything that is beyond his understanding, which he has tried to do on numerous occasions.
Again, it’s part of his mental sickness that fuels the need to feel superior (even though he obviously isn’t), to insult anyone who disagrees with him in even the slightest way. Remember how he turned on CE for disagreeing on a small point?
This can probably be all traced back to childhood abandonment issues where he felt weak, impotent, inadequate because he was unable to affect the outcome, stupid and guilty. He observes these qualities, within himself, with disgust. Instead of dealing with these feelings, he has retreated into his narcissistic personality, and in order to sate his need to feel superior, he claims to be “the overclass”.
Sméagol, you will never be a member of “the overclass”, well, at least not until you can out perform a junior-high student. You’ll find your real intelectual equals in the back alleys of St. Catherines, you daft pome.

To Kim (Jan. 3, 11:46AM):
Sorry, Kim. Pascal never said that.
However, here’s one for your obsession with food (Grey Poupon) and lust (video #3):

Snoop, please excuse me for jumping in.
Shaking my head in wonder and dissapointment (again).
Annie, repeatedly you do this, you make incorrect statements, and consider them to be the unquestionable truth. Make sure of the facts before you post. Every time you do this, only demonstrates your lack of….shall we say, intelligence.

Bro Tim. I guess in a perfect world it would be nice to see a much better balance. And yes, I am grateful I live in a rich country.
Hey Kim, you realize you pretty much told me who you are IRL? Thanks for the headz-up. Hate to mistake you for a friend… again

To Kim (Jan 3. 9:27PM):
Excellent Kim, excellent. This time a real quotation, and not just an imaginary balloon, like your last post about Pascal. My only quibble is that I never acted “beyond my powers” as you suggest. On the contrary, my powers were never tested. Indeed, this site was always a little something for, as the expression goes, “the left hand.”
A word of caution. You must ignore Hugo Phrost who, as I have pointed out before, is nothing more than an embittered psychotic. He has never been able to overcome the fact that I have a Ph.D. and he doesn’t. (Frankly, I don’t think he ever graduated from high school.)
In any case Kim, congratulations on your quotation. I’m sure this is the first time (well, the second) that the old Roman has appeared on “Bitch.” I’m sure that you can see that dialogical level, at least on this thread, has been elevated. You can see that, can’t you Kim?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

O.O Oh dear God. To further snoop’s post: http://www.cracked.com/article_18965_5-wei…
Interestng Kim, but you seem to have gone from one extreme to the other.
From your initial focus on “the cares of the body” (gluttony and lust), you have careened into mystical spiritualism with your liturgy of exorcism. Remember, Kim, it is as Epictetus said – “all attention must be given to the mind.” So, Kim, I am looking forward to your future feats of rationality as the occasions arise.
To Dim Bro Tim: I tried thinking about it for a minute but was stnned by “sciece.” Could you help me out?
Cheerio!
Damn.
Ivan: nicely said.
So essentially, this guy is fat, obnoxious, unhealthy and gross. And you’re his servant.
Congratulations. You win.
Hi annie.
Would you mind clarifying your interpretation of the Epictetus quote, please be concise, to avoid ambiguity.
An embittered psychotic, who never graduated from high school? Well annie you knew that wasn’t true when you posted, either that or you’re monumentally stupid. I mean, who in their right mind would deliberately provoke a physo who knows where they live?
So, back to the “annie’s not a moron” theory….that means that she will purposely state an untruth to raise a reaction.

guys, i will read from the book of diablous diabli, later on tonight, in hopes of raising an even more ominous spector from the past. i will give you a tiny hint, a partner was amos. think of the other partner unamed. kim, i loved the inviction that you wrote, but unforrtunately doesn’t work on trolls. only the diablous is known to work on demons and such.
to either bring them back to earth, or to expell them. i’m sure ivan has come across some interesting old stuff in his time at the portal. and speaking of which, i must find a live chicken for something else that i am working on for new years at city hall. tata all.
As far as I know Lifer, we don’t have any books bound in human skin hidden away in the vault; but they may not choose to tell me everything. I checked up at the Jade W – she’s got about 2 dozen Seuss. She orders books in new as well, so check prices. Corner of Prince and Argyle.
Are you summoning Amos & Andy back from the dead in order to put the Huck Finn desecrators in their place?
