If they're both *ahem* fatties, this: Worst case, if only one is: This is a really funny fight. The big girl loses her shirt, but still dominates the small girl. She proceeds to take one of the other girl's shoes off and beat her with her own shoe. There are a million jokes here, but I can't get past a topless 250+ lb girl dragging another girl by her hair and beating her with her own shoe. [math] But honestly if you're having to make multi-paragraph explanations on why you're not fat (or overweight) you probably are. At 205 and 6"3 I'm considered overweight. Though studies show BMI's of 25-29 (overweight) have lower mortality rates, though they don't differentiate between double-flubbery and extra-muscley-with-some-flub. If your BMI is 30 or higher, mortality rates and logic are not in your favor. [/math]
I feel uncomfortable. Anybody else? I don't know what is worse, that picture that confuses me, the verbal altercation between members, or the gross and graphic fupa (or the term I like to use - pannus) fucking stories. (no banning of no crazy asians please)
This made me laugh because it's one of my pet peaves: It goes without saying that it isn't just women who pull this shit.
OMG OMG OMG, you guys! The grocery store had ORANGE bitters! I have been checking for YEARS and they finally have it! This Thanksgiving weekend will be even more drunk now that I have cocktail recipes to experiment with. WOOO!!!
Wait a sec. So we can make fun of FUPAs (and by extension fat people) all day, but the second a specific number gets thrown out then it's a whole big deal. Is that what's going on here? Seriously?
Breaking news, crown has over ten k rep pointers. Not that its important. The limit changed and I just noticed. Whatever, carry on with you fat hating.
I can kind of see where crazy asian was going. I know that I am smart, accomplished, happy, healthy, and a perfectly acceptable size by BMI standards. But there is (and will likely always be) that little voice in the back of my head telling me that while I may be all of those things, unless I have legs like Giselle, a rack like Scarlett, and an ass like J Lo, I am just not quite good enough. You have to wonder how that got so ingrained in me .... probably in part due to "jokes" that seem to be made so frequently, pictures everywhere that are supposed to be what I aspire to be. But back to your regularly scheduled TiB programming.
So there's a couple of things going on, here I think. 1) The number 176 lbs doesn't determine that anyone is fat. Ssycko said it, I've seen it, girls who are ~170 and hot as hell because they are healthy ("tall and stronk"). It's the attitude that the number alone puts you in some kind of undesirable category that is a huge turnoff. No one likes to be made to feel like they are just a number or appearance. 2) Also, I'm just having my fun. Yes, it legitimately bothers me when people have attitudes against body image and stuff, but that's all boring girl talk I'm sure you're not interested in. I'm not going to change the world by telling one girl on an internet board to adjust her attitude and be a little kinder, just consider it the straw on the camels back. I'm sure you've experienced this: "Man, TIB sometimes provides good intellectual discourse and offers views from walks of life I never would have considered, but hot damn there is some ugly shit happening". Maybe Angel just got caught in my cranky internet rage, doesn't change the fact that she said something shitty. Wouldn't life be so boring if no one called anyone out on being shitty? Also, mya. You wrote that better than I could have. Soooo, thank you.
Ok, just so I'm up to speed. Do I need to feel guilty eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's tonight? That's what I'm focused on.
Not as long as it mixes with your tears of self loathing. In other news I have a cold, this makes me more grumpy than usual.
As someone who has never really gotten into a "internet fight" (unless you include KIMaster once, and even then that wasn't really much of a fight) on this board, I kind of like it when there's a difference of opinion without threat of banning/altered posts. If person A says something stupid, then persons B, C & D call them out on it. If what person A said was not in fact stupid, he/she backs it up with statistics/experience/whatever and persons B, C & D wither stop talking or bring up a counterpoint. Works for me. Just my two cents.
Lizzy Caplan is straight fire. Tyrion Lannister could bottle her up and destroy Stannis's fleet if he needed too. I just really wish my dad didn't like this show. This is fucking awkward.
Wow, how does this even happen? A cop is accused of raping a girl during a traffic stop: http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/SAPD-officer-accused-of-rape-5005742.php If this guy is guilty, I hope they find him a nice husband or 3 in prison.
