I think he will have more trouble than you will. Unless he is allowed to replace bacardi with another form of rum, or he has a second drink he is allowed to drink.

Just eat a lot of fish and chicken. No need to get into all the red meat, especially right now.

Also, as far as atkins, try diet tonic water.

By the way, I like gin and my nose is just fine. I don't drink it straight though. I also don't drink it a lot. I tend to mix things up. Lately I seem to be into vodka.

edited because apparently I cannot spell meat.

You don't count calories, but you do obsess over ingredients, etc., because of the need to count/reduce carbs. How obsessed you get depends on how strict you want to be.

The good thing about it is that you don't feel hungry. A diet where you can eat a porterhouse without breaking the rules is a nice thing. Just order veggies instead of the baked potato. And eat a big salad before (and maybe some oysters). And get the cheese plate for dessert.

In the long run, it's probably hell on the heart, even though the salads and veggies offset this to some extent. But carrying around 25 pounds of fat on your body is not exactly a treat for the heart either.

Being a beer consumer I am lost -- what is a "family size" bottle of rum? On whose family is this sizing based?

On New Year's Eve I drank a bottle of champagne (to chase the 6 pack of beer, naturally) -- obviously not quite family size as there was none left to share.

What is your never-fail CD that you put on when you want to seal the deal and give and/or get the gook? Entire albums only; no mix tapes, as that is just too cheezy. Greatest hits or live albums are okay, as long as they're not obvious like Barry White (RIP).

Me: Cowboy Junkies, The Trinity Session. It ain't exactly "let's get buck naked and fuck tonight," but it has a certain lugubrious tone that makes women, ahem, emotionally receptive.

High protein (high fat) diets are in vogue today and are heavily promoted. Unfortunately they are also dangerous. The popularity of these books is evidence that people are looking for a quick, effortless way to lose weight without having to curtail their dangerous love affair with rich, unhealthful foods. People are desperate to lose weight and these books preach what people want to hear; that you can still eat lots of cholesterol and saturated fat and still lose weight. This illicit romance can lead to tragic consequences, with some people literally dying to lose weight.

High protein diet gurus usually claim they know the truth and all other doctors and scientists are wrong. They promote the idea that their recommended diet is healthy. They would have their devotees believe there is a worldwide conspiracy, including more than 3500 scientific studies, involving more than 15,000 research scientists, reporting a relationship between the consumption of meats, poultry, eggs and dairy products, with heart disease, cancer, kidney failure, constipation, gallstones, diverticulosis, and hemorrhoids, just to name a few.

You can lose some weight on the Atkins’ Diet, but you will damage your health at the same time.

Following Atkins’ recommendations could more than double your risk of certain cancers, especially of meat-sensitive cancers3, such as epithelial cancers of the respiratory tract.4
There's a study out there that says anything you want. If I looked hard enough, I could find one saying glue-sniffing would increase my life span by a decade. Life's terminal. The only sensible advice I ever heard was "everything in moderation." Everybody else is full of shit.

"The lead guitarist for the rock band Rush skirmished with sheriff's deputies, spat blood on one and was arrested on New Year's Eve after his son refused to leave the stage at a fancy hotel, authorities said."

-- his son and his son's wife were also arrested.

Charges included "disorderly intoxication." I kinda like the way that sounds. Personally, I try to keep my intoxication orderly.

""He's one-month-old, so it's about time Bob got out there and did his first croc demo," the Australian celebrity told the crowd at his Australian Zoo. "


At that age isn't it supposed to be "Bobby" or "Little Bob" or "Baby Bob"? "Bob" just sounds so "in his early thirties-ish."

This is every parent's dilemma. Presumably, previous generations named their babies Georgia and Martha and Thelma and called them thus with straight faces, little knowing that they had given their infants names better suited to the 80-somethings they later became.

Now, of course, we're left to wonder when we'll see our first Kellie on the Supreme Court.

Yeah, but does it cure athlete's foot?

And what exactly is athlete's foot? It must not be something resulting from "running to the fridge for a beer" because I have never had problems with my feet.

Madonna said that. And I think it was also quoted in Biloxi Blues. And if all that stuff just magically washed down the drain then no one would ever have algae or mildew or athlete's foot.
