Overheard and overseen

Well, she is dying. But she doesn't have to be a bitch about it.



Me: What do you want to do while I dust?
Kidlet: Gloat.

Spouse: I can't look at your website at work. I mean, how am I going to explain that? 'I'm interested in gay porn, but only the kind my wife writes'?

Me: So of course the next thing he says is, 'I didn't ask to be born.'
Spouse: How does he know that?

We are now two people away from a female president.
Oh, kill them!

Here, have a desecrated cheesecake brownie.

Kidlet: Stop tickling. It's disconcentrating me.

All right, you tell me. How can a four-hundred-pound woman be a dietitian?

Hasn't "Dr Phil" "written a book" about weight loss and fitness?

RE: Dr. Phil

[raine-wynd.livejournal.com]

Yes, he has: the original book and a companion cookbook. But then his excuse is that since he didn't know enough about the topic when he first started writing about it, he consulted with "the right people."

*I* certainly don't think, personally, that Dr Phil would be, based on his appearance, incapable of writing a book about "food lifestyle changes." I do believe that it's possible for someone to "appear overweight" to the general public, yet be eating a healthful and moderate diet as well as being fit. But I think most Americans look at Dr Phil and think "but... he's not thin, he doesn't have six-pack abs, he probably sits on the couch all day and eats nothing but cheeseburgers, fritos and ice cream."

Dr. Phil is certainly indulging in unhealthy amounts of smugness.

How can anyone who works in health care smoke cigarettes? But so many do.

And 400 lbs is crazy overweight--there are people with serious hormone imbalances, and she might be one of 'em.

To add to the atmosphere: I overheard this as I was standing in the doorway of the greasiest greasy-spoon restaurant I've ever seen, and everyone in the room, including the person speaking, was smoking. (I was not, thank goodness, forced to actually eat there. The place is called the Hungry Moose, which pretty much tells you everything you need to know.)

Your kidlet might just rule the world.

Disconcentrating really needs to be a word. :)

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I love these. Especially the spousal NSWF concerns. ;)

[tevere.livejournal.com]

Hee! I always love it when you post these-- little snippets of peopleness.

[venivincere]

If your kidlet met my kidlet, they'd arrest them for merry verbal mayhem. :-D

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Now that I would love to see.

Actually the kids on my flist are slowly restoring my faith in the future of the human race.

[venivincere]

:-) Other people's kids do that for me. Mine, I sometimes think, is going to end up in a tower with a gun, standing over my bloody corpse.

*cheers* MORE OVERHEARD!

Yes, Kidlet for the win :D

[julad.livejournal.com]

How many people are we away from the kidlet as president?

I'd kill them.

I don't think she's going to have time to run the country, between being a ballerina, running a museum and a zoo, and doing animal rescue.
