“Good morning, I’m fat! How are you?”
"I’m fat; how are you?" Great line, isn't it? Sure wish I'd come up with it! But no, I have to give proper credit: it's from Simcha Fischer's "What's for Supper? Vol. 201, Potatoes and Other Tornadoes?" post last week. Well, there's something to be said for celebrating, rather than denigrating, your fatness sometimes -- … Continue reading “Good morning, I’m fat! How are you?”
Rhymin’ Weekly Weigh-In: Post-Bright Week Edition!
Well, howdy everyone, and welcome back! So glad to see y'all again! So didja have a nice Pascha and/or Passover?

Surprise! Just poppin’ in to say Merry Christmas!
Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm on a blogging break and all that. Still, if former Pres. Obama can pop in to say hi, I guess I can, too! I'm enjoying my little break, and hope you're all keeping snug as the proverbial bugs in your rugs, keeping warm, sipping cocoa and enjoying life. Listen -- … Continue reading Surprise!

Rhymin’ Weekly Weigh-in: Fare Thee Well, Colonel Sanders!
Good morning, everyone! Well, I'm a little embarrassed to say that I've slacked off a bit this past week, so I have a bit of a gain this morning. Let's get this over with, shall we? 208.8 Wow, that's not so great! Oh well, as Homer Simpson once said, "Hope springs internal!"
