The last time I saw some chick in "bacon" clothing I almost threw up on the woman next to me, who responded by gasping in horror and smacking me with a bag of frozen green beans and carrots. Then she moved away before turning around and nearly hurling in my cart.

Yes, I was in walmart. No, no animals were hurt in the process. Yes, the woman apologized for the frozen bag later when I ran into her on the cereal isle. Yes, we formed a corner checking alliance to signal to one another the coast was clear ...

Edit: I just remembered you are in Boston bacon, this happened at the Stop&Shop in Dedham or whatever is in the Dedham Plaza off Providence HWY.

This may explain why I've been going hard at the gym since I quit WoW, lol.

This is the crap that drives me nuts - PEOPLE THIS IS CALLED JUNK SCIENCE. They (CNN) find 5-6 people who are working out, play some game (board, on-line, card) and draw some imaginary conclusion from the coincidence and push it off as fact. Do you REALLY think these people represent you or the other 11.4MM players? Statistically, they are even a grain of sand in the desert.

If you believe this crap then you need to stop using charcoal briquets, no more deodorant, the world is coming to an end (again) and nuclear fuel is worse than fossil fuels.


/waits for a response with tin foil hats to pass out.

I think it does represent the 5% cumpulsive hardcore WOW raiders. This has been me. twice in my life i have lost redicoulous amounts; 81 pounds (in 9 months) and 67 pounds (in 4 months). takes me about 3 years to put it back on

edited to make my point....


This is probably who it MAY represent but to make is sound (as the article does) that gamers will be great weight lifter (or anything else for that matter) because we focus on details is beyond ignorant, its irresponsible reporting.
