OK, that was hysterical.
I'm picturing shrift eating a burrito at a Tijuana sex show and being glared at by hookers.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I have never been to Tijuana or a live sex show.
I have been glared at by hookers.

My mom is on a sort of modified Atkins diet, where it's low-carb but also low fat. She's lost 30-something pounds, which is very exciting.
Losing 30-something pounds does sound exciting! However, I don't think it would be practical for me to try. I cannot live without the tasty potato. It would be an Atkins exercise in futility.

I know!

I know. She tells me the whole thing about how you stop craving things and you feel full with less food and you have more energy, but I think it's a myth, like those endorphins you supposedly get from exercising.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Shit - Does anyone have the recipe for the CI spice cake? I want to make it for NYE, but of course the original link has expired.
[eta: nevermind, I found it. Apparently I emailed it to ita a few months ago when she asked the same question.]

The only time I stop craving things is when I'm horribly ill. I'd rather not associate mealtimes with deathtimes!
I think "smaller portions" + "more exercise" - "snacking" = "slightly more feasible for me".

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jessica - is this it? [link]
Well, it's there for anyone else, even ifmy awesomeness was thwarted by Jessica's smartness.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have actually experienced the mythic endorphin rush. But it's a rare thing.
I will never stop craving sugar or potatoes. Never.
We had a split lip incident. It's amazing what an ice cream snow man will do to alleviate the pain and tears.
