afraid so -- and they still are   ;o)

canadians too

more.    than.    half.

you know what i blame it on?

the "car mentality"

people drive EVERYfuckingwhere

i know someone who drives fifty yards to the corner store to buy smokes

the way i look at it, lazy, overweight, unhealthy people will remove
themselves from the planet soon enough

i just hope they don't have a lingering, debilitated wasting away...

'cause here in canada joe taxpayer covers their medical care

hopefully, a nice quick heart attack, some time before they reach 50...

actually, i know a number of people who will be lucky to get to my age

sad, really, but that's the way they want it

like that line from thx1138 (or whatever that poem was)...
"if anything were wrong, we would certainly have heard"


and hey, fried chicken's not that bad for you, it's the chicken skin

just don't order the nuggets
