Neanderpundit

From the Straight Dope, by Cecil Adams, by a poster who calls himself Scylla:

Being fat means that in the words of Neal Stephenson, you are a collossal badass of evolution. Your genes have fought impossible odds for millions of years destroying, and outgunning and outbreeding billions of competitors. Your genes have wiped out 99.9% + of all the species that ever lived. Your genes have killed eaten or otherwise beaten up just about every other species on the planet. Not only that your genes have outcompeted millions of different human bloodlines that are now extinct because they just weren’t as tough as you.

You’re tough because you’re smart efficient and insatiable.

It’s only now, when you’ve won the evolutionary struggle that success is spoiling you, like an old prizefighter gone to seed when there’s nobody left to kill.

My suggestion is to hunt down and kill a skinny person. The challenge and exercise is just what you need to throw off that post-evolutionary malaise. By the time you’re done, you’ll be strong and lean.

Then you can eat the skinny person.

That is The Way of evolution, and the only reason that you’re fat is because you’re denying your inner reptilian psychotic hunting and killing machine.

Let that bad boy loose. You’ll be ever so much happier. Trust me.

This is the kind of thing I think Kim would like a great deal

Dean Esmay left a comment on the post below which I cragerized just because of the hatred it spouted. I don’t tolerate that from my commentors, no matter how big their britches are. And as it referred to the “bigotry” of Mr Porretto, a man whose ball-sweat Dean is unworthy to lick, it was just a case of the pot calling the china service black.

Look, folks. This is not a message of hatred, it’s a warning: Read the Koran. Be aware of how Islam is structured. Read history. Islam is today what communism was when I was a child, a clear and present and rapidly growing danger. I am not interested in killing muslims. I want you to know that muslims are interested in killing you, and if you don’t belive it, wait a while and you’ll find out. Dr Dismay has a policy of supporting Palestine, whcih means he supports the murder of Jews, because that is what palestinians do. No, not all of them, but enough that support of the whole also supports the few. I have a policy of supporting life. And I’m a bigot.

That’s the nicest compliment I think I’ve ever received.

I’ve juggled the blogroll.

I hate for it to be too damned big. I’ve pruned some people who don’t post anymore, or who I never read. If you want the link back up, or feel I’ve removed you in error, email me at mhardig at aol dot com. I’ll put the link right back up.

I also added a lot of the folks I met at Fritzfest, good, decent people. I shoulda added them long ago. I’m sorry. Again, if you were there, met me, and want a link, email me.
