I have a friend whose doctor told him, after he lost 40 lbs., that he was now Class 2 obese. He asked the doctor, "What do I have to do to just be FAT?!"

I think the study is bogus..wasn't it some college girl using the NFL website to do her study. Come on..if you take a big fat blubbery guy chowing down at an all-you-can-eat buffet, and he weights the same as an NFL guy, obviously one is fat and one is muscle. It's just stupid.

I am envious, I am a lousy singer and I couldn't get up to tenor with a ladder.

Your point is well take. My understanding is that if a fellow that is just a fattie gets out there he gets pushed around like a blocking dummie. If a guy is muscular as hell and then adds some fat weight on top of that, it's a whole different ballgame.

Well, the reason I care is that if these obesity stats are as screwed up as they seem to be then it would suggest that Americans are NOT so fat as the lsm is constantly claiming us to be, therefore the hysteria surrounding what people eat is like the hysteria surrounding global warming - junk science.

Then bass is your thing! The Lord said make a joyful noise, he didn't say it had to be in tune. Enjoy.

As one of my priests put it: "If you can sing, sing to give thanks. If you can't, sing to get even."
