For those of you who have asked.
How much control you really have. How easy it is to put wight on and how long does it take to take it off?
Ok it took me three weeks to go from 177 to 195 Ok, I’m about six years out. I’ve been on a junk-food spree. On top of that I have been also taking in massive calories because this year I cannot seem to shake one cold upon another cold. And when I say Colds, I mean viruses that have been wasting every adult in this house into 17th century plague victims I pumped myself up to 195. I want to be down to 184. Each day between now and then I’ll show you where I am…
1/19/10- 195
1/20/10- 192.8
1/21/10-194.2- I’m fighting a cold. Honestly my wife and I, we have all been fighting colds one after another. My wife made me broccoli,ie and cheeses soup heavy on the cheese. It’s gonna go slower than I can move it if I really bear down. Important lesson. It’s not important. when you sick you take care. otherwise you do this and drop dead of anemia.. It’s not about speed, it;s about health. If I need to eat more I will even if I take longer to lower down.
11/22/2010 194.8 Better get moving. I’ll be on vacation and i need to lose that weight so I can put it back on and lose it yet again :
Oh and welcome to the new digs. Nice right? Thinking of changing this template. Bit too generic.
I am SO fucking humiliated. I’m obviously off the wagon again
I umm, was up a few nights ago.. you know , the old insomnia…and you know HA HA just watching the infomercials for goofs. I wouldn’t ever buy anything like that, not me Boyo… Mrs. Blei didn’t raise any fools….
Well except this one. And let me tell; you that it was just another $4.00 to bring it up to a whopping 500 Horsepower..and for another ..Let’s put it this way. I got gotten by every goddamn “get you” they got. By the time I was on that phone, They could have been selling time shares in the Gaza strip and I would have bought it.
Why the hate on Ralphie? That’s fat…ehh I got nothing here. I want to tell Ralph to stop stereotyping fat people RALPH you goddamn half assed character actor..If you’re out there and you can read this..We know you can do better Ralph. We want to love you; you need to give us something man!
I want to fucking assassinate granny plain and simple, no qualms about it, frankly that skeptical looking aunt can suck my Johnson as well.
Now for those of you who watch this and also get hypnotized let me tell you. I am not selling this piece of shit, as a review though it does work ok at this moment…the juicer sucks, it leaves more juice in the pulp bag then juice.
I did want something to easily puree, it will do that but you need to run it only on pulse and for a few seconds on each pulse. If you turn it on and leave it running the thing will go so fucking fast it will disintegrate, the torque is so strong that unless you have something substantial for it to push against , it’s going to blow. In fact when I looked at it that’s the first thing I thought of and when I read reviews I’m right. Most people lose it when trying to mix flour with water and make dough. You can put dough in, but while you’re putting the water and flour mixture together …it’s too thin and the thing shreds itself to pieces and is left in a smoking heap.
It did devour and perfectly shred a full block of cheese in less than 10 seconds..
.. However if you run it on full ( not pulse) for two to three minutes solid it has a temperature protection device that shuts it down ( while it sits there and smokes..Not to worry, I also bought the extended warranty.)It slices, dices, Julianne’s your fries….aside from the juicer sucking, it actually needs two people to run it, the reason the chick is holding the bowl while he uses it is because the mouth is so large, that unless you have someone “catching” it’s going to throw fucking chopped whatever all over the house..
We make so much soup in the house that well; I thought it would be good. And for right now, juicer aside it does work just as well as they say. The problem is just by looking at it and the way it’s built you can see the stress points and where it will break. While it’s working and aside from my comments above it shreds and mixes like a mother fucker.
Jen used it to mix some broccoli soup and it mixed so powerfully that it had air pumped into it and the size of the batch needed to settle for two days. The only problem is, that it IS going to break and it’s not if It’s WHEN, and then let’s see how much they honor the extra warranty I bought.
Still while it works its fun to watch it devour shit. I can tell you though that it’s not going to be worth the money you pay for it, not because it won’t work, but because one good look at it tells you that it’ll work for a short period before it actually self destructs. Other web review’s confirm this..
I never bought anything off TV in my life; I probably took one of the purple pills. I keep forgetting never take the fucking purple pills I am so fucking humiliated.
At least Im not the only one who gets obsessed with Infomercials.
Lets just all thank god that spray on bald spot remover wasn’t being advertised. Not that I have any bald spots..It;s just I’m obviously now “prone” to infomercials.
And a Merry Chistmas, peace on earth, Good will towards man- No Fatties allowed
During the holiday season when we think of good will towards our fellow man. It’s nice to know that there is still some humanity left in the world. Like the fine people at BeautifulPeople.com who have instituted a ” No Fatties” rule.
Founder Robert Heintze ws quited in THIS CNN article as saying
“”Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.”
The site describes itself as an “elite online club, where every member works the door” — that is, users can join only after enough members vote them “beautiful” during the 48 hours after their profile is uploaded.
CNN states-> And apparently, enough beautiful people were angry that some members had enjoyed a bit too many treats during the holiday season.
So BeautifulPeople.com sent those flagged members e-mails, according to the company statement, telling them they could register again for the site when the extra pudge was gone.
“We responded to complaints by moving the newly chubby members back to the rating stage. This is the same as having them re-apply,” Greg Hodge, managing director of BeautifulPeople.com, said in a statement.
. In the e-mail, it gave users suggestions for boot camps and workout facilities to get themselves back in shape.
Well it’s only the 5th day of 2010 and look we already have some great contenders for assholes of the year. That didn’t take long at all.
So I was sitting here today..My New Years Post.
And I’m reading this story here There’s a question we Israelis won’t ask ourselves about the Palestinians, especially not about Gaza . The Question is Tis taboo. Not only won’t anyone ask it out loud, but very, very few people will dare ask it in the privacy of their own minds. However, I think it’s time we start asking it, privately and in public. If we don’t, I think there’s going to be Operation Cast Lead II, then Operation Cast Lead III, and each one is going to be worse than the last, and the consequences for Palestinians and Israelis are going to be unimaginable.
Rattling the Cage: A taboo question for Israelis
Watching elderly women climbing over rock barricades to get from one side of a street to another is not winning hearts and minds.
Right they kill I get that, I really do. So the answer to people who hate you is to knock over their houses and build walls around them and look they still kill . There have always been and there will always be people who are radicals. Throughout history we have shown that this is something you cannot prevent.The only thing you can do is try to prevent radicals from recruiting more radicals.
I have a stupid idea.What about if every time a radical commits an act of heinous viciousness we send over hundreds and hundreds of rockets like a blitz…that open and drop flowers and notes saying we want to live with you, we love you, Salaam ,and filmed it and fed it into every television in every Arab nation by satellite feed?
How about every time someone kills a Jew in Israel we went to Palestine and built a school or a hospital and named it after that dead person.
There will always be antisemitism, people have been trying to exterminate the Jewish people since the start of recorded history. Nothing anyone has done has stopped it. So why don;t we just try something new?
No one can prevent another Timothy Mcveigh. We can also say that no one can prevent one group of people from hating another. Since we keep proving over and over that fighting fire with oppression doest work , how about we just give fighting back with love a shot just once. Is it going to hurt anyone, is it going to make things worse?
How about in the land of the bible they do as it says in the bible and turn the other fucking cheek. If what was going on now was working..well it would be working , it isn’t.
Go to Iraq and take ten random people off the streets and ask them if things were better before or after Saddam was toppled, see what you hear.
So lets do it, Lets fight hate with love and see how that goes and no I’m not joking. I may be a dreamer but what the hell, we spend $452,000,000 on war in the US everyday. Are we winning any friends? So who knows maybe it might work. It would certainly cost less. And if they still hate well..fuck em if they can’t take it.
Anthony Bourdain thinks the country was better when fat kids could still get beaten up at school & that fat people are unamerican & more hate speech.
I like a good fat joke as much as anybody. Making fun of the lame, the dim-witted–surely there’s a place for it in comedy”
Anthony Bourdain- Ruhlman.com 2007
I have to tell you honestly I’ve been disillusioned before but this one hit me a bit harder then most. It’s probably been particularly upsetting because I have really both liked Bourdain, and been like him. I have also line cooked, we like many of the same people, the same music, we go to the same places and we both come from the same place.
I have bought every book he’s written, I own every season of his show purchased through Itunes
I have to say for a guy who is a self-described recovering heroin addict and alcoholic and a smoker who also made a comment about seeing an emphysema doctor. I think you’re a little fast to lay blame there eh big guy?
What gets me even more is that when he and Nugent filmed the segment together and this part ended up on the cutting room floor. In order for this thing to end up as a vodcast (video podcast), Bourdain had to have said to someone
“That part of the interview… when I dehumanized fat people…when I encouraged a day when we go back to making it OK to physically abuse overweight children, the part where I say people who are overweight are not good Americans. The part where I rather stupidly say that while I don’t support government oversight into the way people choose to eat and then yet in almost the same breath say that I admire the people who want to put the fat tax into law. I really want to go out of my way to make sure that message gets out there”. It’s so important to me to dehumanize overweight people that I want to set aside time just to make sure that part got heard. “
I mean something like that had to have happened because I really do not think that his producers wanted that out or thought it would lead anywhere good. He says that he has a great deal of creative control and apparently this is how he wanted to use that control…To say that.
I also know that it’s probably useless to point out that the fat tax actually is government oversight of peoples food. The very same thing he said in the sentance before that he did not support. How can you firmly ( three time I think) say that you don’t support goverment oversite on food choices but then say the fat tax is a good idea. What about a thing that is also commonly called the Twinkie tax is in anyway not goverment oversite? Does the word tax not tip you off Tony? It was last debated not in even as a theory, some guy down south created a bill andsubmitted to congress.
Not to get that deeply into it man . But from a purely ..something standpoint. It’s not like discontinuity doesnt happen, but popping one off in a three minute video is pretty lame, most authors or movie directors are at least on their second book or a sequal to a movie before they even have one.
I find it particularly ironic that a guy whose show is essentially high end and exotic Food Porn with side kinks in gluttony and weird AND a pork fat fetish, is also the same guy who thinks he should have something to say to people who overeat. Or that it’s a good idea. I know alott of us would hate to admit it. Even at under 200 lbs now I wouldnt want anyone outside my house catching me watching a food porn show, but I watch them. You gotta think it must have been vital for him to do this. Who does Food Porn and still wants to piss off people who like to eat?
Not to mention that he is also admittedly a recovering heroin addict, alcoholic and thief. Though he drinks enough that the recovering part is definitely in question A guy who talked about being afraid of losing his meds on a rafting show and who talked about how pissed off his emphysema doctor will be when he sees the episode where he’s smoking a hookah, that guy is for sure someone who should be lecturing the world on proper health and social conduct.
So he says he’s recoved but I’ve also seen him drink on TV so many times it’s not funny. Well actually it was pretty funny, but thats not the point.
Anyone want to count that out?
Drinking problem that he’s over, but his crew goes out if it’s way to show him shitfaced ( still though comedy gold there )
Oh man, his one is easy. He gave up smoking for his new kid, And then when bloggers variously took or in some cases reprinted pictures of him smoking on set, he got the resturant owners to intimidated them into removing the content . Is that Unamerican?
If fat people are un-American then why aren’t smokers unpatriotic as well? Don’t people with emphysema and people who are reliant on meds also drain the system? I’m just digging myself deeper and deeper in shit here, but you DO see where I’m going right? My point is not that I’m not fucked up. My point is I didn’t go on TV and talk about fat people as less then human when I’m clearly a fuck up.
I tell you what really scares me, what scares me is not the fat people on the airplane. It’s the drunks with emphysema who are passed out in the isle “blocking egress” because their lungs can’t handle getting up and running for the door and their also too fucked up to find it.
It also seems like his fatphobia is a recurrent theme with him. Again with egress thing
Look in this 2006 article in Salon “
If you’re blocking egress from a burning building or taking up half my seat on a plane that is not a lifestyle choice. That is a menace to society.”
Man that’s bordering on a obsession. The strongest thing I can’t stop from thinking is that calling overweight people a Menace to Society always only makes me thing of this scene except with everyone over 400 lbs driving scooters and topless. You know you didn’t even talk about that and I’m pissed at you for it. Shit that’s disturbing.
So fat people are selfish and they are worthy of ridicule, abuse and financial penalties.
So says the guy who wrote books talking about how he spent his time shooting dope into his veins, hiring his friends and taking the lifetime investments that the owners of the restaurants that he worked for had made in him when he knew they were failing, when he knew sometimes before the job they were going to fail.
In “The nasty bits” he wrote that he knew that he people who were paying him we’re going to fail. Road them like a viking death ship until it perished where he ran like a ship rat to his next victims. I’m sad to say both that i’ve taken jobs that sucked and I knew were not going to stay afloat too . You do what you can do put food on your table. Or maybe dope in your veins in this case .
But I really tried to make it work and if it was broken I tried to fix it, even if I couldn’t I would still ask those same people,like how does this work logically. .
That this type of thing is now becoming more of a universal experiance sucks. But isn’t earning money dishonestly also unamerican? I’m not saying I’m any less of a shitbag and though I’m an american I maybe have done the ulitimate unamerican thing and moved out of the country.. Hell I’m probably a commie fuck ( well actually I’m not) who belives in socialized medicine ( well actually I do).
Whatever it was though it still sounds like maybe he should be more humble. What’s ethical about running people who trust you dry?
Bourdain says of his own drug use
“I only mention my junkie past in my books because I make a lot of bold, hyperbolic statements and so it’s important to remind people who’s talking. They need to know that I don’t have an impeccable, or even respectable, background. “
After the above I would have never guessed
And, hey speaking of misplaced trust include in that the woman he was married to for 30 years who had to put up with all his bullshit, who he just blew right off to marry a woman almost not old enough to even be his daughter.
Is disloyalty for someone you were with during the hard times UnAmerican? 30 years, his ex wife who lived with him and loved him when he was a junkie and when he couldn’t hold down a steady job, couldn’t afford to pay the rent and after all that time…
You know after I wrote this I thought hard about how many fucked up relationships that I was in that have portrayed me as being the dickhole when I really wasn’t…I don’t want to edit it out. I want to say it looks shitty on paper. for him I meant. I look fine on paper. Depending on which version you get.
Lets look at some other pearls. Says no to stopping the production of Foie Gras but also says he is opposed to animal cruelty. Foie Gras where they stuff a tube down a Gooses throat to overfeed the poor thing to make it’s liver fatty , so you can kill it and extract it’s liver? But he doesn’t like cruelty to animals. Yet another fucking discontinuity thing again.
Oh, and I will fucking leap through this PC and kill anyone who says anything about the Goose farmer who showed a Goose walk up to him and open it’s mouth for the tube. Their fucking birds… look at the size of their head? How big can the brain be, and how much space is taken up with that flying in a perfect V formation thing?
It’s still fucking cruel and just because one farmer shows on scene. Oh fuck off, they probably get a mechanical blowjob or something that takes place just under the camera shot or their stoned or somthing.
Just because one french guy somehow gets one fucking goose to walk up to him on TV doesn’t mean that their arent another eighty billion fucking Geese who hated everyday of their pathetic lives only to have it finished by having some dickhole french guy try and suck it’s dick when he slipps it a mickey..Ok I don’t even know what that was. But the Foie Gras thing is fucking cruel.
Yes I eat liver, yes i’m a dickhole , again the point isn’t that I am, it’s that he is. Don’t look at me like that, BEATING KIDS IS STILL FUCKING A SHITTY THING TO TALK ABOUT. Dont judge me, judge him. I’m not writing this for you to judge me, so just stop ok?
Says Vegans are” Rude , motivated by fear and antisocial” and “That it’s an insult to impoverished people everywhere if vegitarians refuse to eat meat when they travel and ignore the food choices in the countries their visiting . Visting a counry and not having the dim sum is not an insult ( it’s stupidity if you really are talking dim sum though) “ More that Veganism has no benefits and in fact can’t be good at all for the planet”
When it’s pointed out to him that countless peer reviewwed studies actually show it would be better for the planet and the impoverished countries if people did not eat meat, he then replies with
“What’s so great about that? I’m a radical environmentalist; I think the sooner we asphyxiate in our own filth, the better. The world will do better without us, when the blight of humanity is removed. That would be my academic argument to that.”
And an academic you are at that sir.
My last point before summation. This is the one I llike the best and feel most like a dickhole about but it has to be done. Here is Tony three years ago lean and trim
What is different? No, it couldn’t be that his face just looks like he put about 50 pounds of cream cheese up his ass, or perhaps that’s not it I’m being insensitive and it’s actually the steroids he has to take for emphysema. Should we understand it butterface? If Tony gets really fat will he stick by his opinion’s?
I would like to think that the difference between he and I is not that I’m also not weak, sometimes in many of the same ways but is more that I know and admit to my weaknesses, failings and ignorance.
And knowing how weak, how ignorant I can be …and how badly I can fail I do not ever go and make any sort of ignorant public statement condoning violence or mistreatment or second class status of any group and I especially make sure not to judge groups that I do not or can not for whatever reason understand. What it probably really is more then anything though is that I admired this man and I’m really fucking disappointed.
People are overweight for as many different reasons as people have other weaknesses. The fact that they have a visible problem an opposed to someone who has an illness that is invisible like a mental disorder, should not make them anymore of less value or any more a target then anyone else. In an age where we accept people for having sexual addictions and even glorify them and when we are supposed to understand why someone being a substance abuser or a kleptomaniac is not a lifestyle choice but an illness. We as a society don’t give obese people that same dignity or basic courtesy.
Everyone deserves the same protection and the same open mind that you would give any man or woman who suffered any more understandable illness, mental or physical.
That’s where I think Mr. Bourdain was way the hell out of line, that’s why I think he owes his audience an apology and that’s why until he does apologize which sadly will be never . I’ll never spend another dollar on his products or watch any Bourdain shows or read any books.
The real shame he should be feeling if he cared at all is that after three best selling books and two wildly popular TV series hasn’t he figured out yet that people listen to what he says and take him seriously despite his arguments on why people should not?
I expected Ted Nugent to be Ted Nugent…what I did not expect was for Anthony Bourdain to be Ted Nugent.
For those of you with no access to Youtube at work you can download a PDF of the transcript of this video here or you can watch a quicktime version or download the actual podcast from his site HERE * keep in mind that the podcasts get archived after a few months so hopefully the YouTube video will stay up . If it doesn’t and you really need to see this to believe it then send me an email I have the orginal file .
Ron Howard is awesome.
To the person leaving anonymous angry threatening messages
Whoever you are, it is obvious that you think you know me. While I have to say the things that you touch on are rather interesting it’s not anything that any person interested in finding me couldn’t locate by spending a few hours doing web searches.
You’re tying to make me feel violated, you are failing, and it’s more obvious that you want me to think that your judgment of me as some sort of malicious person matters.
First, you are a coward. I have an email address and I have a website that allows anyone to contact me directly. You have the balls to call me out on shit and yet at the same time you do not have the balls to actually use a real email address or actually out yourself. You say you’re going to write to this person or that person and you’ll find me and post this or that and cost me my job etc. Take your best shot…go ahead and do it. You’re a yellow pussy and I am not ashamed of anything I’ve done. And If I get really tired of you I’ll grab your IP and find you and shut you down.
Not everything I’ve done in my life are things that I’ve been proud of. I have made mistakes that I wish I could fix and I have unintentionally hurt people. I have let people down and been let down.
I have done things I never thought I would do…when you’re in the eye of a hurricane you’re not thinking of anything beyond the fact the eye is only half the storm yet to come, and I went and was very lucky to have found a port in the storm in my wife and family .
So you found a few web pages, read it and decide to give me your opinion ,good, go off and hack my PC, go on and do whatever you feel you can ..But, show yourself and talk to me or you’ll never get a response from me . I’ll be deleting any messages or anonymous email I’m bored with you
