Ok everybody so I have a question. Would you prefer to be skinny? as in low body fat, skinny arms, can see bones here and there. Wears Small size shirts. Or would you rather be fat? as in belly fat, big thighs, arms, and neck. Wears XXL+ shirts.

You also have to think of it socially. Would you prefer one over the other?

I have always loved football, but this school year spiked up my interest. I am good at throwing and know the rules, but my parents won't let me play for my school. Since I am academically successful (straight A's) they think I should get a new math workbook, and complete it during the summer. They think I'm not built for it, when they haven't even seen me play. Also, they both hate football, and that is probably the main reason preventing me from playing. How do I convince them because Football Workouts are tomorrow? Thanks!

Personally, I DO think that cheerleading is a sport. Especially when playing basketball and seeing what they do from the sidelines and for their halftime shows as well as when I attend other sporting events. It takes strength, durability, flexibility like whoa and mental toughness just like anything else. So what do you all think, sport or no?

I don't know about you, but I just love a good bowel movement. My sustenance is a mix of beans, prunes, metamucil, and laxatives. If I could pick a favorite time of day it would be when I'm sitting on the thrown laying a brick to build the great pyramid. What is your favorite type of bowel movement?

Loopy Poopy = When it curves around and spells out COOL messages for you in the bowl.

Second Wave Poopy = When you take a dump, wipe, go to wash your hands and are blessed with an erg for an encore performance so you rush instantly back to your thrown.

Split Pea Poopy = Green liquified pleasure with chunks of satisfaction.

The Logger = All bringing back the classics, just firm long floating satisfaction.

Spooky Poopy = When you have the strongest erg to drop one over Hiroshima but miraculously there's just nothing there when you get off the pot. It's like a ghost came out of your butt!

Or do you think all of them are a scam and bullchit?
I think some of them can be useful, but price/benefit ratio is too small to waste money on them. (protein, creatine)

For a man that's 6'1 tall.
I'm losing fat at the moment and I'm at 32in, yet I still have a lot fat to lose from my lower abs and back, so in the end my waist will probably be around 29in.

So I was talking to myself because that's all I do all day and I was just asking myself about mental health. This is the dialogue:

"Hey"

"Yeah?"

"So, like, why don't people take drugs for mental problems?"

"Because drugs are bad and ruin you and shit, you know? Of course you don't. You're a social twit. Mental illnesses can be treated without drugs."

"Yeah, but... how?"

"Well, you take a bunch of vitamins and run it off, that's usually what we read."

"Yeah, but isn't that dru..."

"Stop. Vitamins are not drugs."

"But a drug is anything you take that are taking for a specific purpose. It's not different than saying caffiene isn't a drug."

"It's not though."

"So what is it?"

"It's a... special."

"A special?"

"Anyway, listen, Lexapro is some pharmaceutical bullshit that gets doctors paid way too much. Don't be fooled; no one cares about other's like that."

"So telling people to take exorbitant amounts of vitamins and run to induce endorphins isn't the same as the process of finding the correct balance of just one substance?"

"Correct."

"Wait, what?"

"I said, correct."

"So mental illnesses don't exist right?"

"Well, only Schizophrenia, because anything with that name has to be crazy, but the rest are all just treatable defects. They didn't exist 50 years ago, you know."

"Yeah, but that's because we were ignorant."

"No, it's because we made them up. When people stopped taking care of themselves and eating wholesome foods they totally started suffering from the intangibles like mental illnesses."

"So just fix your diet and run a lot?"

"And sex."

"And sex, fine, so that's it? Isn't that just triggering adrenaline, dopamine, and endorphins while trying to activate the energy systems of the body? How is this not drug use?"

"It's just not."

"Oh. So not being monitored and possibly experiencing a temporary placebo effect..."

"Fuck you Brandan, you're always twisting my words around."
