The Return of Operation Stop Being a Fat Fuck
Last June, I set out on a mission to lose weight. I had ballooned up to 224 pounds and decided to start running again. I had no plans to really alter my diet, but I do know from past experience that when I exercise regularly, I find that I eat in a slightly more healthy fashion.
After a slow start, Operation Stop Being a Fat Fuck started to pick up some steam. Then I sprained my ankle and regressed. I healed and then actually gained weight, getting up to 227 pounds. After that, I made a little progress (heavy emphasis on little), eventually getting down to a way-too-fat 218 pounds. That was my weight at the time of my last installment in this series, which was on October 6.
Now, five months later, I am publicly recommitting to Operation Stop Being a Fat Fuck. It actually began on Wednesday. I’m starting at exactly the same weight that I began last time: 224 pounds.

HarvesTime is Still Awesome
When I first seriously considered moving into my current place, I wondered where I’d get my groceries. Stu, who’s lived in the neighborhood for a few years, told me that he shopped at HarvesTime and liked it a lot. But Stu weighs about 110 pounds. I tend not to take advice on food from skinny people.
Then I started hearing about it from other places and checked it out. I’ve been hooked ever since. Tonight I had made dinner from HarvesTime that I imagine can’t be purchased at too many grocery stores. And by made I mean took three things I bought there and put together. The first two, homemade carnitas and fresh tortillas, can be bought at a decent number of Mexican grocery stores. But how many of those places also sell Sriracha? I’m going to guess not many. They should – the combination is fantastic.

Prank Wars Are Back!
After a year and a half since the last installment, the boys from College Humor are back with the latest installment in Prank Wars. Just in case you haven’t seen the others, I’ll put them all here, in order. They started as small pranks in the office and grew into something much bigger. The new one is funny, but I don’t think Part V or VI will ever be topped. The whole series is worth watching.

Why America Will Never Fall
No matter who the President is or how many bad decisions Congress makes, this country will never fall for one simple reason: the creativity of our people. Case in point: the McGangBang. Some enterprising youth discovered a way to get a complete meal for cheap at McDonald’s. Take one double cheeseburger one chicken sandwich and then put the chicken sandwich in the middle of the double cheeseburger. The result? Awesome. And because both items are not available on the dollar menu, the entire thing can be yours for just $2 in tax. Read all about it here.
