Sorry to read about drama but ahahah that video. I'm easily entertained.

Best news of all, my friendly redneck neighbor is looking to make a few extra bucks and offered to mow my lawn. Hell yes you can mow that giant craphole of a lawn! He even got all excited at my mower and took it back to his place for a tuneup and sharpening as part of his all-in-one redneck groundskeeping service. I may have to do some computer work for him as part of general trade of skills but woo hoo, hooray for rednecks.

I will absolutely never utter the words 'allergy' and 'I have a' in the same breath to anyone outside this semi anonymous forum, so much do I hate the whole douchebag dietary restriction thing.

I guess the verdict isn't in, and it could be the liters upon liters of wine I drink daily, but apparently I have some strange form of intestinal swelling and have to get a camera shoved up my butt in a week. awesome. keepin' it classy.

I would have force-fed them.

In other radiography news, yesterday I had an MRI (ah, the chance to sleep) on the shoulder I hurt 3 weeks ago, and I have a fractured scapula blade. That's why it still hurts. Nice to know I haven't been a malingering hypochondriac.

Having a gluten allergy would make me very very sad. I hope it's all OK, MP!

my office is pretty awesome and we get lunch for free three times a week, so on fridays they'll send out an email with the menus for the following week. recently they've gone pretty fuckin crazy with the gluten labeling. here's an example:

Greek meatballs
Sliced grilled chicken with oregano & lemon( Gluten Free)
Mediterranean grilled vegetables (Gluten Free)
Classic Spinach Pie
Vegetarian moussaka with eggplant, roasted potaotes, tomatoes bechamel
Roasted zucchini, quinoa, carrot salad with golden raisins (Gluten Free)
Orzo pasta salad
Greek salad (Gluten Free)
Fruit salad (Gluten Free)

It's pretty amazing how many people use food words without knowing what they mean. I knew someone whose boss was super gung-ho for his Low Carb Diet and complained about not losing any weight. She pointed out his daily venti caramel macchiato. His response: "Wait, sugar is a carbohydrate?"

The trendy gluten-free thing is the one fad diet that actually pisses me off. My grandpa and several of my cousins are celiac, and can't eat stuff with gluten without getting violently ill several hours later. My grandpa hasn't been able to have real bread for like 30 years :smith:. Then again, all the people who don't even know what gluten is trying to avoid it means there's a glut (heh) of gluten-free things more readily available.

This sucks. I wish this was the 40's and it was acceptable to smoke everywhere with abandon.

Quitting smoking/getting on a diet simultaneously will prove to be a terrible decision.

I decided to quit that day because of your post. I want a cigarette so bad, but I'm bribing myself with delivery corned beef hash. Which will suck balls. But it's better than a cigarette. I think.

Hey,
You know what - my take on it is that as long as the person I'm sitting across is paying the meal, I'll listen to their religion, their take on gluten, socio economics, milk, eggs or aliens (yes - I did a scientology test once, apparantly I was damaged beyond repair, and I was loving 19 at the time, I spend a good 2 1/2 hours discussing with the lady testing me about the individual questions and the rightness of the answers to those questions, ended up accusing her of having a deeply rooted hatred for small mammals, and asking her if she hurt flies as a kid - I guess obnoxious didn't begin to cover what I was, but I got free coffee and had to spend time waiting for a ferry anyways).

Also - Is it true that sugar is fattening then?

We had a person get angry the other day because they ordered hummus and they were shocked to find out it came with pita bread. Did we know pita bread was not gluten free and how could we serve glutenous pita bread with hummus without telling people and oh is the sweet potato gnocchi gluten free? It's not! Why not? How can you not make your gnocchi gluten free?

Yeah, in my opinion the main positive impact of Atkins and the like is more products for diabetics and better product labeling for everyone. Improved labeling is always a good thing (especially if it scares people). It's really stupid seeing more gluten-free flours than regular flours at Whole Foods, but it's fantastic for people who legitimately need such products. If companies have to make the bulk of their cash from stupid people without legitimate health issues, I'm mostly okay with that.

I guess that's the bottom line. As much as it bugs me that people unnecessarily deprive themselves of things, their stupidity improves the lives of others. Is benevolent idiocy a thing?

It is now. You could write a book, Malcolm Gladwell style, on benevolent idiocy. There;'s about enough there for a decent-length non-fiction article, but you could pad it out to book length, like they all do. "Here's one relatively simple idea which I am going to go on and on about, with multiple examples, so I can publish a book about it!"
