You guys convinced me to give up smoking.
Now after 1 six sickening weeks.
My local bar has upped their beer order by 4 case's
I now have to stop at lunch time an eat, I now have to work an hour longer each day.
I am starting to taste the real flavour of food, Most tastes like shit (or chicken)
Colmans mustard is starting to burn my tounge.
I'VE PUT ON 15 POUNDS, YOU FU**ERS
Wriggles has gone up 5 points
I'm becoming an alcoholic


So where are the benefits of not smoking

I put on 20, but made up my mind and lost it a couple of years later. Stay with it. You won't be sorry.

Does anyone else think it's ironic, everything tastes nasty, yet weight gain has happened?
Hey,NOT smoking, benefits? Try living a longer, healthier life without lung disease, cancer, nasty brown teeth,etc.
Since you quit smoking and gained 15 lbs, here's an idea: EXERCISE!

Try it...

Dr. What Doctor, I'm British havent seen a Doctor in 30 years,
been to ER a few times though

One result of not smoking is that people think I've found religion, NOT
I find a rosary helps me do some thing with my hands,
It's really wierd every time I feel like a smoke I pickup the beads
because I don't know what to do with my hands.




An for those in the know, I'm 50 6ft an 180kg smoked for 35 years an have a lung capacity of 4.6lts

Ive always thought that the weight gain from quitting smoking is a temporary thing.

Among the people I know, it seems that the fat ones are more likely to be the smokers, & the more lean & fit ones are the non-smokers. So in the long runs you'll be more fit by not smoking.

Even though stereotypes are pretty much universally despised in the US, I love 'em because to me, they are an unending source of entertainment.

I few years ago, I was watching Comedy Central (a cable station in the US that speicalizes in comedy). A standup comic was doing some jokes based on racial stereotypes and the audience was getting visibly irritated with him. Of course I thought the jokes were pretty funny.

After he got the audience to a sufficient level of angry, he continued his routine by addressing the audience and saying something like this:


Yeah, right. There are NO black people who like watermelon or fried chicken; There are NO Jews who are cheapskates..., and so on. And then he said a line that REALLY got my attention:


...and there are NO Asians who can't drive..."


(I'm thinking) What?!!! Asians who can't drive?!!! I am the ultimate consumer of stereotypes and I've never heard that one!

So I talked with a friend who is a truck driver and diesel mechanic and asked him if he knew the deal on that stereotype. "Shit! Why do you think that you never see any Asian truck drivers?", he responded, "It's cuz nobody is willing to trust their expensive rigs to one of those fuckers cuz they can't drive worth shit!"

Back to the comedian for a moment. It became obvious that he had manipulated the audience into being pissed off as part of his routine. By the time he was done, he was getting roaring applause--he really was quite clever.

Anyway, so Asians can't drive. This is a new stereotype for me to investigate. At the time, my commute to work was about 35 miles or so, and included a LOT of Houston freeway driving, so I got to see a whole lot of bad driving by a lot of people. I started watching for Asians.

It was true!!! Nearly every time I saw someone in the inside lane on the freeway and they would absolutely not go one inch per day over the speed limit, even though the traffic around them was going much faster and they were creating an unsafe condition on the road, it was an Asian driver!

(Ok, I know that it's a stereotype!!! Don't waste your time flaming me. I think stereotypes are funny and you are not going to change my thinking one bit!)

Then I generalized it. Does ethnicity affect driving style? Seems like it does.

My most recent ex-girlfriend used to really hate it when I would find amusement in things that served to confirm stereotypes and I took great glee in pointing out such things to her.

We would be driving down the road and I would see someone do a really stupid piece of driving and would say something like, "Obviously, that driver is (insert a stereotype here: black, Mexican, Asian, an old lady, whatever)."

After indignantly responding that my comment had been the most racist comment she had heard all day, I would speed up and pull along side of the car that had done the stupid driving and, Lo and Behond! Nearly always I would be right! Of course, my comments were very rarely based strictly on driving style. The year, make and model, condition, and any adornments on the car were a HUGE factor, but I never mentioned that to her. After all, this was war between the sexes!!

In case you're wondering, I don't think my endless amusement with stereotypes is why she dumped me. We are still very close friends and visit just about every week.

Enough rambling for now--I'm a white boy so I'd better get busy doing something Republican or drive somewhere in my German car!

Relax. If some obviously uninformed doctor tells you that it's time to quit drinking, then you'll just need to get a second opinion (and maybe a third or fourth!).

Same way everyone else who exercises finds the time!
And sure, freeflying can count if you suck at it badly enough

That should count as exercise... at least the making of them should (depending on how "aerobatic" your technique is)

As an ex-smoker, I can testify that smoking is a multi-faceted addiction. One main facet is oral, so you begin to eat more.

In Boston I've heard it referred to as DWA (Driving while Asian).

There are two models that fit the stereotype.

Major: Small asian female between 20 - 60 in HUGE SUV, usually whatever Ford has thats largest at the time. It is so common that I wonder if its a status thing in the Asian community ........perhaps I should mention that the town I just moved out from had a large asian community so seeing asians drive SUVs may be more common for me than others.

Minor: Rice burner cars, souped up (by souped up I mean 'is in black or red and with a HUGE aluminium rear spoiler), on something like a Toyota corolla. end of the day its still a small car that runs just like my unsouped up toyota corolla. This stereotype drives like a speed demon on I95 in rush hour traffic. - I dont see this one much, my wife pointed this one out.

Lenny Bruce broke open standup in the 1950 and was arrested numerous times for indecency. He did a legendry bit on racism that is still ripped off today. He would open the bit with "Any N*****s in the house tonight?", after the predictable gasps of horror (Lenny performed for the hip liberals of the day, John Stewart WISHES he was Lenny) he would ask "how about wops? we got any wops here?", as the bit built up he'd become an auctioneer, raising the stakes until everyone in the audience was tagged with a derogatory racial slur, and were laughing their asses off. Lenny's point? Words are strange things that only have power if you hide them away.

A lot of his stuff was years ahead of its time and truly groundbreaking. Chapelle seems to mine some of that same vein of material for comparison, whereas Lenny dealt with race, politics, sex and current events - pretty much whatever came to mind.

Eep. Rambling.

TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

Gaining weight, eh? Look at the positive side: when you upsize your gut, it downsizes your canopy.

Oh, by the way, if you take up smoking again, I'm going to personally swim across the pond and kick your ass.

Add to "have bought a new wardrobe because my size has increased."

Ya and I feel healthier.. NOT I feel like a fat fucking pig!
