6. I've tried that
I once got down to 56 stone, but I couldn't stay like that. I used to take potatoes wherever I went. I used to go to the cinema with three hundredweight of King Edwards. I'd eat 'em all before I got out of the toilet.







:hi:

8. 'Good evening. This new series of 'Trim-Jeans Theatre Presents'
will enable you to enjoy the poetry of T. S. Eliot whilst losing unsightly tummy bulge. Jean."







"Wow, yes, and the inches stay off! Mark."

"Terrific! Thrill to Thomas A. Becket's Kierkegaardian moment of choice while making your physique tighter, firmer, neater."


I am here. No traitor to the King.

Absolve all those you have excommunicated.

Resign those powers you have arrogated.

Renew the obedience you have violated.

Lose inches off your hips, thighs, buttocks and abdomen.




I hope you realize that by injecting Pythonery into this thread, I'm just trying to make you feel better. :hug:

14. Ah, it's a string, is it?
"Ah, come in, come in, Mr... Simpson. Ah, welcome to Mousebat, Follicle, Goosecreature, Ampersand, Sponge, Wapcaplet, Looseliver, Vendetta and Prang!"

"Thank you."

"Do sit down. My name's Wapcaplet, Adrian Wapcaplet."

"How'd y'do."

"Now, Mr. Simpson... Simpson, Simpson... French, is it?"

"No."

"Ah. Now, I understand you want us to advertise your washing powder."

"String."

"String, washing powder, what's the difference. We can sell anything!"

"Good. Well, I have this large quantity of string, a hundred and twenty-two thousand miles of it, to be exact, which I inherited, and I thought if I advertised it..."

"Of course! A national campaign. Useful stuff, string, no trouble there."

"Ah, but there's a snag, you see. Due to bad planning, the hundred and twenty-two thousand miles is in three-inch lengths. So it's not very useful."

"Well, that's our selling point! 'Simpson's Individual Stringettes!'"

"What?"

"'The Now String! Ready-Cut, Easy to Handle, Simpson's Individual Emperor Stringettes — Just the Right Length!'"

"For what?"

"'A Million Household Uses!'"

"Such as?"

"Uh... tying up very small parcels, attaching notes to pigeons' legs... uh, destroying household pests..."

"Destroying household pests?! How?"

"Well, if they're bigger than a mouse, you can strangle them with it, and if they're smaller than, you flog them to death with it!"

"Well surely..."

"'DESTROY NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF KNOWN HOUSEHOLD PESTS WITH PRE-SLICED, RUSTPROOF, EASY-TO-HANDLE, LOW-CALORIE SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL EMPEROR STRINGETTES, FREE FROM ARTIFICIAL COLORING, AS USED IN HOSPITALS!'"

"Hospitals??"

"Have you ever been in a hospital where they didn't have string?"

"No, but it's only string!"

"Only string?! It's everything! It's... it's waterproof!"

"No it isn't!"

"All right, it's water resistant, then!"

"It isn't!"

"All right, it's water absorbent! It's... Super Absorbent String! 'ABSORB WATER TODAY WITH SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL WATER ABSORB-A-TEX STRINGETTES! AWAY WITH FLOODS!'"

"You just said it was waterproof!"

"'AWAY WITH THE DULL DRUDGERY OF WORK-A-DAY TIDAL WAVES! USE SIMPSON'S INDIVIDUAL FLOOD PREVENTERS!'"

"You're mad!"

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! Sex, sex sex, must get sex into it! Wait, I see a television commercial — there's this nude woman in a bath holding a bit of your string. That's great, great, but we need a doctor, got to have a medical opinion. There's a nude woman in a bath with a doctor — that's too sexy. Put an archbishop there watching them, that'll take the curse off it. Now, we need children and animals. There's two kids admiring the string, and a dog admiring the archbishop who's blessing the string. Uhh... international flavor's missing... make the archbishop Greek Orthodox. Why not Archbishop Macarios? No, no, he's dead... never mind, we'll get his brother, it'll be cheaper... So, there's this nude woman..."



:D

11. I don't taunt anyone unless they ask for it.
So, okay.

12. That is good philosophy.
I just was minding my own business and these folks start laughing at me.

:wtf:

So, thank you MrSlayer, that means a lot to me. The fat people probably appreciate it as well.

17. I'm sorry your feelings were hurt.
I've been taunted for it, too, and it sucks. You are a beautiful person regardless of how much you weigh, and they will be eternally ugly. You're too good of heart to worry about people like that. My PM box is open if you ever need an understanding ear.

:hug:

18. I am sorry..
I am a large woman and I hate mean people who think overweight people are slovenly lazy etc.

However, I had to laugh a little at your post.. whenever I hear the phrase "don't taunt"... I think of that Saturday Night Live skit (recently posted in the lounge).. "don't taunt happy fun ball"

:hug:

19. Heehee yes, I remember the fun ball.
But I also remember the fear demon from Buffy. And Giles says, "Don't taunt the fear demon...it's tacky." :) :hug:
