26 January 2010

Yesterday, I went to the doctor for a follow-up on my recently bruised ribs.→[More:] While I was there, I got flu shots and a quickie physical. I apparently now weigh 196 pounds, which I imagine will allow a few of you to indulge in some schadenfruede. I have a potbelly and little, tiny manboobs. I don't mind so much, except that I had to buy new pants. I'm actually kind of grooving on the novelty of being a little tubby.

Also, my beloved Remote Sports Bar has recently changed owners. It's the same clientele, most of the same staff, but it's now 'MugShots Bar & Grill."

My world is rocked.

I'm sorry, but MugShots Bar & Grill is the most retarded bar name ever invented, period. It makes places like PJ O'Pootertoots look venerable by comparison.

No worries Jon. You're in good company. I'm also 196 pounds. And love having some meet on my bones. After having been 159 pounds at a BMI of 18.4 as a beginning student. My loving brother used to say that he would lease me out to the medical faculty since they didn't have to cut me open to see chambers of my heart beat alternatingly.

MugShots Bar and Grill? Oh dear.

It's still the same inside.

Heh, that's great foop. Is it true that the Power of Chub makes one invulnerable to cold, gut punches and falls?

Well, my recent bathroom fall was more than painful, but I'm probably well beyond 'Chub' to The Power of LardAss. But I have been out in short sleeves when everyone else was jacket-or-sweatering and I have a window fan with thermostat that doesn't shut off until it's 50F outside (by design). Close to freezing gets to me, but I'm more comfy in the 55-69F range than most Southern Californians. The true Power of LardAss comes from getting people out of your way whenever you move with any momentum and being able to conceal almost anything on your body.

I'd be pretty happy to get back to 196 pounds. That would just about give me a Normal BMI.
