Condorito is Chilean??

Never new that. Loved that comic!

Yup its is...pretty much every country in south america claims Condorito is theirs, but he was created in Chile...guess that shows how popular and universal it is.
Dont feel bad though, Tati...you guys got Mafalda (and Quino), Soda Stereo, Sumo and several other accomplishments thanwe chileans.

They also have the Malvinas ... whoops sorry they don't!

BTW for the longest time, I thought Condorito was from Mexico for some reason and Memin from Colombia (he's <now obviously to me> from Mexico). Hard to tell were all these comics get produced.

I want to see what kind of pussy Brendan gets.

I got all excited when I saw Devin had posted in the thread, and I'm glad to see he did not disappoint.

Also, you guys might have Condorito, but we have... ahh... Turey! And Jenny! And Bozzo! No, wait, that one sucks... True Story, Swear To God! There we go.

From my experience, being a stupid asshole doesn't hinder your ability to get laid all that much.

Oh, of course not. He just seems like a real bore as well.

A fucking NINE DEATHS OF THE NINJA screencap. I can die fulfilled. And smug in the knowledge that I finally got an obscure reference.

I'm sorry, sir! I'm SORRY!! I'll go punish myself by standing in front of the mirror and saying catty things about my own waistline. If I behave, can I please have half of an unflavored yogurt?

Wait, was being obese compared to being a women or a minority ? And was it considered mean to point out that someone was obese ? This happened at CHUD, were people are made fun of for way they dress ? Being obese is a choice, you can always eat healthy and exercise. Guess what ? You will have a better life for it (well at least you will live longer and with less problems). I know everyone can not look like an athlete, but that is no reason to choose to become obese.

Yeah, but I loves eatin. They make those peanut butter eggs with double the peanut butter now. Don't be talking to me about choice when those things are on the shelf, beckoning me with their siren song...

Fuck you, genetics!

Maine has they're own white trash freaks. Haven't you read Stephen King?

Fact is, every state has it's white trash freaks.

That's true, but some states have better, stronger, and fatter white trash freaks.

True.

Yeah, unfortunately some people's bodies work against them. That is still no reason to let yourself go. No one should eat fast food every day, and everyone should exercise.

Very true. It's also important to pay attention to what you're being fed, fast food aside. It's not just some byproduct of genetics that we're becoming fatter as a nation.

The food industry makes a lot of money off of us, and it wants you to eat a lot of food that's cheap to produce. It's incredibly easy to pack foods with corn syrup and other ingredients that pack no nutritional value. These things taste good, but since your body wants nutrients, you're going to still be hungry, and you'll just end up eating more junk food with little nutritional value to obtain the small amounts of good stuff in it. As Michael Pollan points out in In Defense of Food and The Omnivore's Dilemma, we've reached a point where a sizable percentage of people can simultaneously be both overweight and malnourished. That's fucked up and has nothing to do with genetics.

So, while genetics may explain why some of us start out a little heavier, it's a combination of sedentary lifestyles, poor individual choices, and a manipulative food industry that probably explains why we're increasingly unhealthy.

Should I start with In Defense of Food or The Omnivore's Dilemma? I'm heading to the library later on this week and have had both of those titles thrown at me frequently as of late.

Also, good eating does have its drawbacks - I just had half a skinless rotisserie chicken, two and a half cups of steamed broccoli, a half-cup of quinoa, and I just let loose with a fart that may have killed a woman.

and you forced me to google "quinoa."

Seriously, who gives a shit? A healthy, in shape person gets to live another 20 years of their meaningless, boring life - congrats. You're probably not doing anything worthwhile with yourself anyway, so you might as well have that candy bar.

That might be true for most of these jerks, but I plan to spend my extra twenty years explaining why my playset from The Thing is different than a fanboy's playset from The Thing.

20? Boring?? Sounds like someone hasn't visited the Uncle Dirty thread.

Depends entirely on what you're looking for.

The Omnivore's Dilemma is very holistic - Pollan analyzes how food gets from the ground or from an animal to your plate in a few different scenarios (industrialized, industrial organic, local organic, and what's basically a hardcore hunter-gatherer entirely self-sustaining lifestyle). Along the way, he touches on how the various industries work, and it's heavy on his own anecdotal experiences attempting to stick entirely to the nutritional scenarios he sets up. It's a great read, but it's most interesting in its analysis of the industrial food industry, which is mostly in the first half. Seriously, it'll turn you off of industrialized corn products for a while, down to the corn-fed beef used in most fast-food hamburgers.

In Defense of Food is more upbeat, in a way, and shorter. It's kind of a celebration of what Pollan defines as "real" food, which basically excludes preservative-laden, ultra-processed stuff you find in the grocery store - things that your grandmother (or, at least, someone's grandmother) wouldn't have recognized as food. It speaks more to our eating habits as they exist and how we can develop a healthier relationship with food. It focuses a fair amount of attention on how food science has let us down in isolating nutrients, loading processed foods with them, and then proclaiming their nutritiousness, despite the fact that these nutrients work better in tandem with other, less identifiable factors not present in said processed foods.

Once you read one, you'll probably want to read the other.

This is so silly. Being healthy and in shape does not make you boring. You can be who you are and be healthy. Being interesting does not mean you have to be out of shape. This might be a surprise, but you can be both healthy and interesting. The difference between asshole gym dudes and people who live healthy, is the similar to the difference between nerds and fanboys. One sees the advantage of it and enjoys it, and maybe they try to interest others in it also (like showing a friend a movie for the first time that you love). While the other is hyper aggressive about it, and hates anyone that does not like what they like.

99% of the people now living are boring and lead boring lives. It has nothing to do with being in shape. It has everything to do with realizing that you don't really want to add 30 more years to your sentence of working in a cubicle and living in a non-descript suburb.

I can kill myself whenever I want, though, Devin. No matter what food I eat.

I'm too cowardly to kill myself. I'm relying on booze and pizza to do it for me.

Yeah, I guess going the delicious route can't be that wrong.

Why do you hate cubicle dwellers?

I feel bad for them, like the chickens that live in cages with their feet cut off until the Colonel makes Crispy Strips out of them.

Yeah. If having a cheeseburger is going to save me 7 years of mortage payments and grinding away at some miserable shit-hole of a job in the twilight of my existance, then I'll take that biggie-sized, please.

Of course, it's easy to say stuff like that when you don't have a family to support and all of that. And that's why you never have kids. It totally screws up the delicious-suicide plans.

If you're still dicking around with a mortgage in your twilight years, you fucked up.

I forget if it was Bill Hicks or Dennis Leary who made the joke about smoking taking the last crappy 20 years off your life, but being a fat fuck can halve your life. And make that half pretty miserable. I'm about 20 lbs overweight. I tend to yo-yo between ten and twenty, and when it gets this bad, I'm noticeably uncomfortable and don't sleep as well. I can't imagine what walking around with another 30 would feel like.

Yeah and the 20 before that are a life of misery.

I'm so scrawny that Tati think's I'm the fattest guy on the boards, so I could use a few extra.

Though I guess even a lean fellow could wind up with a triple coronary..

Love the Snickers billboard, James

Hey, i somehow managed to get away from the center of the discussion and you bring me back?

And Devin, please, i must ask. What makes your life so engrossing and fun? Sitting in your couch all day in your underwear with your laptop? Having pizza crumbs on your shirt all day?
What do you plan to do the next 20 years of your life that will be so awesome that the other 99% of mankind will be jealous and boring?

I'm going to Hawaii on Wednesday to interview Kristen Bell and Judd Apatow. That's just this week. We'll see if the next 20 years are that cool. Probably.

Comparison check:

Jealous? Check.

Makes me look boring? Check-mate.

Tati,

it sucks that you're too healthy to interview Kristen Bell and Judd Apatow.

Well apparently you should kill yourself then Trejo.

I.. I was hoping you might help me out with that, Renn.

Don't worry, you probably won't go to jail. I'm going to continue this conversation via PM though, just to be safe.

But that's now. Your job gives you these kinds of opportunities. I was more jealous about the Hellboy set visits and interviews than that. But what i'm asking is... Do you really believe that this will keep up for the next 20 years? Are you going to keep doing the same thing? Or will you try to move on to producing or writing? Or maybe your own site?

I just think that even if you have a cool thing going on right now, i couldn't picture myself doing the same thing for so long without some kind of moving up the ladder. (this last sentence is fucked up, i know.)

Being a roadie for a rock band is cool in your 20's. It's lame in your 50's.

Well, I guess Roger Ebert's a loser, since he's been doing this shit since the 60s, right?

I have my dream job.

I can see what you're saying and not to thread derail here. Some people have no interest in moving up, what they do is what they like to do.

Then, if as you say, you have your dream job and you love it, why don't give a fuck about your health and if you die 20 years before you would have?

Food, alcohol and drugs are going to give your body a hit. More than they already have.

Let's step back a bit before we launch into another internet pissing contest shall we. Fact is, Devin can do what he wants as it's his body. You heard what he said and it's none of our goddamn business but his.

Yeah, let's get back to the dead baby.

Damn straight and more sick jokes. Come on people, we're slackin!

I'm sorry if my posts come off as anything else than just curiosity. I'm not trying to pick a fight with Devin or anyone for that matter (well, maybe i would pick one with LatinoInferno).

And yeah, let's get back to making dead baby's jokes. Those are so good.
