Australians can read?

Is that it? You mustered all your intellectual strength, focused all your energy into one moment, one singular explosion of articulate attack, and all you could come up with was some ‘Backwards Crocodile Hunter living in the bush’ crack. Should I retort by going ‘whoa dude gonna hang out on the beach man, its all about feelings, now lets have a hug’ Cali bullshit?

I think the only possible explanation is that you thought that if you could possibly come up with the most inane, lazy arsed comeback possible, I would be offended through sheer shock at the temerity of your ineptitude.

Big words. Nice. So we’ve established that you have a pretty degree hanging on your wall and took CWs advice and got that really cool dictionary in his last article. We’ve also established that you play footy (your avatar), and can only surmise that you got your ass kicked so much on the rugby pitch that you had to go play arf with the other skinny guys with nice cuts in the 16" arms. You tried too hard, give me another one, but remember the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Should come easy for an aussie.[/quote]

The fact that you think I needed a dictionary only points out your own lack of education. It’s called high school english.

The problem with calling your footy comments are:
1, That’s not me that’s Cam Mooney
2, I played rugby at St Edmund’s College. One of the preeminent rugby schools in the country.
3, You know nothing of Australian Rules Football or how tough it is.
4, Wow calling an endurance athlete skinny. Good call iguado.

I originally thought that you just tried to come up with some sort of anti Aus comment on the fly because I attacked you. I saw your bullshit posts in another thread and its clear you harbour some sort of anti Australian attitude. That only further condemns your lack of imagination and wit. For someone who spends a significant amount of time badmouthing Australia, you aren’t very good at it.

For the record, I keep my degree in a drawer. I’m too lazy to frame it. I have Jessica Alba, Henry Rollins, Gary Ablett, Sylvester Stallone, and the poster for Platoon hanging on my wall.

I am not quite sure how you can gauge my level of education just by my comment about your dictionary, which I am sure is very, very small, but Microsoft Word thesaurus has helped me in a jam once or twice as well.

Cam Neely, got it.

And dude, how can something ‘condemn’ my lack of imagination and wit. Seriously, you are digging yourself a hole here. And I only posted on Aussies and Peanut Buttet because I knew YOU would look at it, and go, “Ugh! Bloody Americans! Jeeves, where is my scone and tea?!”

I think the OP was just saying that people may be afraid of fat by word association. Choice of word is very powerful as we now, its a huge part of ad/marketing. But calling protein ‘muscle’ would definately be misleading,as people would assume by eating it they would gain muscle, or get ‘bulky.’ Wait, they already think that. So, to answer,it’s a moot point.

I don’t see why anyone would be concerned with word association for the “general public”. The general public believes that anyone over 200lbs is on drugs and that their heart will explode any second now. The general public thinks that anything that reads “low fat” can be eaten by the pound without worry of fat gain. The general public is filled with morons.[/quote]

One time a chubby kid at lunch who was eating two or three chocolate puddings and nothing else for his lunch told me he was on a weight loss diet, and that the pudding was low-fat so it was on the diet. Too bad he didn’t realize the ridiculous quantity of sugar in it would and lack of nutrients would have an effect too.

This is extremely common. My aunt is visiting and one night had a hamburger without a bun on her plate. Someone made a comment about her on a low carb diet. She responded with “i’m being good today.” Then she puts 1 spoonful of mac n cheese on her plate, followed by one spoonful of pasta salad. I was curious to the logic in this so I asked discreetly if she didn’t like buns.

She replied that she’s cutting down on carbs and wants these not those. I took that to mean that “A carb is a carb.” There were buns on the table and they were wheat (not the best choice I know, but at least they had more nutrients than mac and pasta)

People think that you can eat whatever you want as long as you exclude one of the macronutrients down, and eat little of the other one. And veggies are something that we ‘should’ eat, but aren’t seen as having a fat loss effect. People dont’ want to be healthy they want to be lean, and don’t realize the two usually go together, at least when your in that position. And they wonder why they see no progress.

Not to get off topic, but this thread is filled with hate anyway.

This has got my vote for stupidist post of the week.

I can think of all the expressions that will have to be re-examined.

“Hey baby, want to see my love protein?”

“Make a protein”

“Look at him, man he’s all protein”

“Wow, your legs are really getting proteinular”

“You need to lift heavy weights to gain protein”

“I don’t want to gain too much protein”

“All that protein will slow you down”

“I want to gain protein and lose lipids”

“Can I gain protein and lose lipids at the same time?”

“I want to be ripped so you can see my ab proteins”

“What is my lipid percentage? (holds shoe)”

1, I could reverse your statement and apply it to your original accusations against me. You have basically just proved my point for me.

I often here comments such as ‘oh big words’ and shit like that, especially on the internerd. I can speak dumb too however I often require less common words to express myself. Am I to be damned for knowing these words? Are you to be damned for not knowing them? I don’t think either is the case. However you are deliberately being an idiot, let’s not beat around the bush.

The hockey player? What?

Point conceded. I don’t know what the hell I was trying to say there. My only defence was that I was running on about 2 hours of sleep and I don’t cope well without my beauty rest.

Bah, I knew it. You are deliberately making your insults absurd knowing it would further incite me. I think I like you now.

Looking at it again I think I probably meant to write something in the vicinity of ‘that only further condemns you FOR YOUR lack of wit and imagination’.

Considering the first post of your first sentence (I know I know it was the mods), it seems an apt error.

The great thing about t-natty is it is very much like the pitch; we battle, and I hit you like you just slapped my mother, but afterwards we belly bump and keg stand.

Jacross, I have no ill will towards you at all, I just enjoyed poking a little fun, thinking it might get a rise out of you. Arioch and Rockscar both know this, and those dudes are fucking cool. I’m off to Kauai with the wifey. Fourteen months in Iraq, I think we deserve it. Be back in a week.
